s discussed in the following paragraphs: 11.5-13 Revision 5 - May 2010 1. 10 CFR 20.1302 specifies, in part, that licensees conduct surveys of radiation levels in unrestricted and controlled areas and radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted and controlled areas to demonstrate compliance with the radioactive dose limits contained in 10 CFR 20.1301 applicable to members of the public. 10 CFR 20.1302 relates to the manner in which compliance with dose limits to individual members of the public will be achieved. This section specifies that surveys of radiation levels are conducted to demonstrate compliance with the dose limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1301. These surveys use the equipment that constitutes the process and effluent radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling systems. RGs 1.21, 1.33, and 4.15, as well as industry standards (i.e., ANSI N42.18-2004 and ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999) provide additional guidance on measuring, evaluating, and reporting the results of surveys. Meeting the above requirements provides reasonable assurance that the dose limits to individual members of the public specified in 10 CFR 20.1301 and 10 CFR 20.1301(e) will not be exceeded. The review conducted in this SRP section, with supporting information drawn from SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4, evaluates the method used to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. 2. 10 CFR 50.34a specifies that an application to construct or operate a nuclear power plant describe the design of equipment installed to maintain control of radioactive materials in plant effluents produced during normal operation, including AOOs. 10 CFR 50.34a relates to SRP Section 11.5 because processes to monitor and survey radioactive materials in liquid and gaseous effluent streams released to the environment provide crucial information for establishing controls over these effluents. As described in this SRP section, 10 CFR 50.34a specifies the equipment used to monitor and survey
