ctively, meeting these acceptance criteria ensures that all of the sources of radiation exposure to workers and members of the public resulting from the licensed activities (normal operations and AOOs and to workers under accident conditions are identified, characterized, and considered in the design and operation of the facility, consistent with the relevant requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and 10 CFR Part 50. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer should select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. The reviewer will consider whether source strengths, concentrations of airborne radioactivity, and quantitative source descriptions are consistent with the assumptions made and the methods used by the applicant. The reviewer should consider whether the bases for RCS source terms are consistent with relevant industry experience about erosion/corrosion rates, fuel integrity and the primary water chemistry control program (i.e. Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) “Pressurized Water Reactor Primary Water Chemistry Guidelines”) including the High Duty Core Index. EPRI developed the “Utility Requirements Document” for evolutionary and advanced light water reactor designs (URD) based on proven technology of 40 years of commercial U.S. and international LWR experience. NUREG-1242 “NRC Review of Electric Power Research Institute's Advanced Light Water Reactor Utility Requirements Document,” documented the NRC staff’s safety evaluation of the URD. The URD reviewed by the staff in 1992 referenced a number of industry documents, such as NP- 6737, “Cobalt Reduction Guidelines,” that provided
