terial in an application and the associated technical review by the staff. 12.3-12.4-14 Revision 3 - March 2007 3. The references to the specific items in 10 CFR 50.34(f), their associated action item in NUREG-0737, and Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, specify that adequate in-plant radiation monitoring is provided for accidents and abnormal operational occurrences. Radiation protection design features are provided to allow personnel access to the plant under accident conditions sufficient to perform actions necessary to mitigate the consequences of the accident. 4. Compliance with GDC 61 requires that systems that may contain radioactivity be designed to ensure adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions. This criterion specifies that such facilities shall be designed with appropriate containment, confinement, and filtering systems. The requirements of this GDC apply to SRP Section 12.3-12.4 because systems and components that contain radioactive material are a potential source of radiation exposure to individual workers in the event of leakage of the systems or components, during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, or in the event of an accident. Meeting the requirements of GDC 61 provides a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials during normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences will not result in radiation doses that exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. In addition, meeting the requirements will help ensure that systems continue to perform safety functions under postulated accident conditions. 5. Compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.68 and GDC 63 ensures that appropriate radiation monitoring is provided in areas of the plant where special nuclear material is handled, used, or stored. In addition, GDC 63 provides for adequate monitoring spaces containing radioactive waste systems. Prompt detection of excessive radiation levels in these areas resulting from normal
