REVIEW PROCEDURES The information on radiation protection design features furnished in the SAR, including referenced parts of Chapters 9 and 11, is reviewed for completeness in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.70. The reviewer evaluates the SAR text and the scaled layout drawings of the facility, concentrating on the sources, shielding, and layouts for the auxiliary building, including the radwaste systems, decontamination facilities, office and access control areas, laundry, lockers and shower rooms including personnel decontamination area, and laboratory facilities; the fuel handling facilities, including the spent fuel pool fuel transfer, and related equipment; and the BWR turbine building, including location of steam lines, reheaters, and moisture separators. For the PSAR, this review is particularly concerned with preliminary 12.3-15 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 design features which may not appear to be consistent with assuring that ORE will be ALARA. In this review, radiation protection design features are evaluated using the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 8.8. The access control plans are reviewed both to determine conformance with 10 CFR Part 20.20320.1601, 20.1602, 20.1901, 20.1902, 20.1903, 20.1904, 20.1905 or 81 Standard Technical Specifications, and to determine whether they will control access properly in limited access areas and in restricted access areas (high radiation areas). SAR Chapters 9 and 11 are reviewed as necessary to evaluate dose rates in the spent fuel pool areas, location of airborne radioactivity monitoring instruments within ventilation systems, and radwaste systems as they relate to radiation protection design. The reviewer evaluates 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
