g in excessive radiation doses to plant personnel. Utility management structure and technical lessons will be acceptable if they meet the criteria in RG 8.8 and NUREG-0737. Compliance with 10 CFR Part 20 alone may not provide sufficient protection of workers in situations involving mixed hazards (i.e. toxic gas protection of required plant operators, or smoke protection of fire brigade personnel in the RCA) while in the radiologically controlled areas of the plant. Therefore, COL applicants should specify the regulatory basis for ensuring protection of workers utilizing respiratory protection equipment for protection against mixed hazards in the radiologically controlled areas of the plant consistent with the guidance contained in RG 8.15. In 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1), the NRC requires that power reactor licensees monitor the performance or condition of SSCs against licensee-established goals in a manner sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that such SSCs are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. In addition, good maintenance is also important in ensuring that failure of other than safety-related SSCs that could initiate or adversely affect a transient or accident is minimized, including those that are relied upon to mitigate accidents or transients or are used in plant EOPs (i.e. radiation monitors or radiation protection features described in Section 12.3). 12.5-16 Draft Revision 5 – October 2012 4. Operational Programs. For COL reviews, the description of the operational program and proposed implementation milestone for the Radiation protection programs are reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1101 and 10 CFR 20.1406 and to the extent that it is not described in other sections the leakage control program required by 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvi). Implementation is required by license conditions. Acceptance will be based on a determination that the 10 CFR Part 52 COL applicant has described the intended implementation of the radiation protection program,
