Content:
ample points are located to best detect potential (or actual) concentrations of radioactive materials from airborne effluents. Determine whether sampling frequency and duration, sample size, and lower limits of detection are appropriate for the pathway being monitored. (9) If the program is judged to deviate from these criteria, identify program additions or modifications, including changes in locations, additions of sampling and measurement stations, or deletion of some measurements. (10) When a preoperational program is being considered, ensure that (a) each important pathway of radiological impact to man will be monitored (b) each monitoring program element will accumulate meaningful baseline data from which subsequent operational radiological impacts may be determined and controlled. (11) When changes to an operational program are being considered, evaluate the technical merit of the applicant’s justification. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Input from the ESRP 6.2 review to the environmental impact statement (EIS) should contain a brief description of the applicant’s proposed radiological environmental monitoring program and the staff’s conclusions with respect to its adequacy. The program (as approved by the staff) should be summarized and presented in a tabular format similar to that shown in Table 6.2-2. When the staff concludes that the applicant’s proposed program should be amended, all identified changes should be listed separately so that they may be considered as part of the required program. V. IMPLEMENTATION NUREG-1555 6.2-6 October 1999 The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
