surance that the requirements will be implemented properly prior to the issuance of operating licenses. Using the methods listed in Section II.B.2 of NUREG-0737, applicants for OLs shall (1) perform a radiation and shielding design review that identifies the location of vital areas and equipment in which personnel occupancy may be unduly limited during operations following an accident resulting in a degraded core, and (2) provide a description of the types of corrective actions needed to assure adequate access to vital areas and protection of safety equipment. Technical Rationale17 The technical rationale for application of the above acceptance criteria is discussed in the following paragraphs.18 1. Compliance with the referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 requires that the licensee control both occupational dose limits and dose limits to individual members of the public from radioactivity that may be received from both internal and external sources, and maintain security of licensed radioactive materials that are stored in controlled or unrestricted areas. Collectively, the referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 set forth the limits on the amount of radioactive material that may be received by individuals in restricted areas as well as individual members of the public. The referenced sections direct the meeting of these limits by limiting the concentrations of radioactive materials, i.e., source terms, in restricted and unrestricted areas. Finally, the referenced sections address security of stored licensed radioactive materials. Meeting the requirements of the referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 will provide a level of assurance that exposure to radioactivity will be controlled such that individual workers and members of the public will not be receive radiation levels exceeding the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.19 2. Compliance with GDC 61 requires that systems which may contain radioactivity shall be designed to assure adequate safety under normal and
