REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Radiological Assessment Branch (RAB)Emergency Preparedness and Radiation Protection Branch (PERB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The following areas of the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) are reviewed, as they relate to radiation protection design features, taking into account design dose rates, anticipated operational occurrences, and accident conditions: 1. FACILITY DESIGN FEATURES a. In the preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR), the design certification application, or the combined license (COL) application, the description of 2 equipment and facility design features used for assuring that occupational radiation exposures (ORE) will be as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). b. The radiation zone designations, including zone boundaries for normal operational, refueling, and accident conditions (based on Regulatory Guides 1.3, 1.4, and 1.7) (PSAR and update in the final safety analysis report, (FSAR), the design certification application, or the COL application).3 c. The illustrative examples of facility design features of the equipment, components, and systems listed in Sections 12.1.3 and 12.3.1 of Standard Format DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 12.3-2 and Content..." (Ref. 7)Regulatory Guide 1.70 including clearly readable scaled 4 layout and arrangement drawings of the facility showing all source locations and the other design details requested in Section 12.3.1 of the "Standard Format..."Regulatory Guide 1.70 (PSAR and update in FSAR, design 5 certification application, or COL application). Shield wall thicknesses for all 6 shielded spaces should be specified on the drawings or provided in separate tables. d. Information describing implementation of Regulatory Guide 8.8 guidelines on facility and equipment design and layout. Information describing any proposed alternatives (PSAR and update in FSAR, design certification application, or COL application).7 2. SHIELDING a. The shielding to be provided for each of
