ent and design features to control releases of radioactive effluents to the environment resulting from its operation, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1302 and GDC 61.30 3. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 60, requires that provisions be included in the nuclear power unit design to handle suitably radioactive solid wastes produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. Meeting the requirement of GDC 60 provides a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials via liquid and gaseous effluents arising from SWMS operation during normal plant operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, will not result in effluent concentrations in unrestricted areas exceeding the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, and the solid wastes produced during the SWMs operation will be handled in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 61, §§ 61.55 and 51.56 and DOT regulations.31 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 11.4-6 4. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 63 (GDC 63), "Monitoring Fuel and Waste Storage," requires that radioactive waste systems be provided with systems to detect conditions that may result in excessive radiation levels in the waste storage locations and to initiate appropriate safety actions. SRP Section 11.4 describes staff positions related to the design of the SWMS, including provisions for radioactive monitoring and detection systems and the capability of such systems to maintain any liquid or gaseous effluents in unrestricted areas, arising from SWMS operation, below the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2. Meeting the requirements of GDC 63 will provide a level of assurance that the SWMS will be provided with monitoring and detection capabilities to facilitate initiation of timely corrective actions and to ensure that effluent concentrations in unrestricted areas arising from SWMS operation do not exceed the 10 CFR Part 20,
