f and reporting radiation exposures. Meeting the requirements of the referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 will provide a level of assurance that exposure to radioactivity will be controlled such that individual 12.5-15 Revision 4 - May 2010 workers and members of the public will only receive radiation doses that fall within the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 and are ALARA. 3. The NRC regulations 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) relate to the capability to promptly obtain and analyze reactor coolant and containment atmospheres during accident conditions (without resulting in excessive radiation doses to individuals) and to monitor in-plant radiation and airborne radioactivity for routine and accident conditions. This SRP section relates to review and approval of the radiation protection program that must be implemented at all nuclear power plants. It covers administration of the program, qualifications of radiation protection personnel, equipment and facilities that support the radiation protection program, and operating and administrative procedures that must be in place. The requirements imposed by 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) are an integral part of the areas covered by this SRP section. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) will provide a level of assurance that actions needed to monitor conditions in the plant during a postulated accident can be performed such that individual workers will not receive radiation doses that exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. 4. Compliance with GDC 64 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that means be provided to monitor the atmosphere in areas in which components are located that potentially contain radioactive fluids and gases that may be released during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and accidents. SRP Section 12.5 covers the administrative controls that encompass the radiation protection
