o demonstrate compliance with the dose limits specified in § 20.1301. These surveys are conducted with the equipment that constitutes the radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling systems. Additional guidance on measuring, evaluating, and reporting the results of surveys is provided in Regulatory Guide 1.21 and ANSI N13.1-1993. Meeting the requirements of § 20.1302 provides assurance that radiation doses to members of the public from nuclear power plant effluents will not exceed specified limits.56 DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 11.5-8 2. 10 CFR 50.34a specifies that an application for licenses to construct or operate a nuclear power plant shall include a description of the design of equipment installed to maintain control of radioactive materials in plant effluents produced during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. Section 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. Section 50.34a specifies the equipment used to monitor and survey effluents as described in this SRP section. Additional guidance on radioactive waste management systems, structures, and components is provided in Regulatory Guide 1.143. Meeting the requirements of § 50.34a provides assurance that the level of radiation in effluents from nuclear power plants will not exceed specified limits.57 3. 10 CFR 50.36a specifies, in part, that licenses for nuclear power reactors will include technical specifications requiring that operating procedures be developed for the equipment specified in 10 CFR 50.34a. In accordance with § 50.36a, licenses must include technical specifications for operating procedures related to radiological monitoring and surveillance equipment. Plant technical specifications related to radiological effluents are consolidated in the RETS. Generic Letter
