AND SAMPLING SYSTEMS REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of the design and performance of radiation monitoring instrumentation and sampling systems used to monitor and control radioactivity in process streams and effluent releases from radioactive waste management systems. Secondary - Organization responsible for the review of instrumentation and control design features, including alarm and automatic control functions. I. AREAS OF REVIEW For a reviews of an early site permit (ESP), construction permit (CP), standard design certification (DC), or a combined license (COL) that does not reference a DC, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviews the information in the applicant’s Safety Analysis Report (Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) or Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)) as it relates to the process and effluent radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling systems (PERMISS). For operating licenses (OL) or COLs that reference a DC, the staff confirms that the information accepted at the CP or standard DC stage is appropriately 11.5-3 Revision 6 – January 2016 incorporated in the relevant sections of OL or COL applications, and that proposed departures are adequately justified and documented. This section of the staff’s Standard Review Plan (SRP) addresses the evaluation of plant systems used to control, monitor, and sample process and effluent streams before being treated and released from pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs). The staff’s evaluation assesses whether an applicant demonstrates compliance with regulatory limits on radioactive effluent discharges and associated doses to members of the public in ensuring that releases and doses are “as low as is reasonably achievable” (ALARA). In PWRs and BWRs, the PERMISS is used to monitor liquid and gaseous process streams and effluents from the liquid waste management system (LWMS), gaseous waste
