may not appear to be consistent with ensuring that ORE will be ALARA. This review will evaluate the radiation protection design features using the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 8.8. The reviewer will consider plant layout and intended access and egress traffic patterns both to determine conformance with 10 CFR 20.1601, 10 CFR 20.1602, 10 CFR 20.1901, 10 CFR 20.1902, 10 CFR 20.1903, 10 CFR 20.1904, 10 CFR 20.1905, or Standard Technical Specifications and to determine whether they will control access properly in limited and restricted access areas (high radiation and very high radiation areas). The staff will review SAR Chapters 9 and 11 as necessary to evaluate dose rates in and around the spent fuel pool areas, the location of airborne radioactivity monitoring instruments within ventilation systems, and radwaste systems as they relate to radiation protection design. The reviewer will evaluate all relevant aspects of the initial design plans, particularly to identify new arrangements, improved designs, unusual shield thicknesses, a new or modified shield thickness calculational procedure, unusual assumptions in the calculation, and placement of radiation monitors. The staff responsible for the review of SRP Chapter 11 will evaluate the adequacy of the process and effluent radiation monitoring (e.g., sensitivity, range, system placement) design. 2. Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, as referenced above, provides detailed guidance and criteria for postaccident radiation monitoring instrumentation. Revision 4 to the regulatory guide provides a method for applying this guidance to the specific proposed design. The staff will coordinate the review of the radiation monitoring systems with the instrumentation and control and emergency preparedness review staff to ensure that adequate radiation detection instrumentation is provided for plant monitoring under accident conditions. 3. The health physics staff will evaluate the adequacy of the applicant’s shielding design on
