Content:
rol the release of radioactive effluents must include, among other components, equipment and related operating procedures to provide monitoring, sampling, and surveillance of effluent streams that may contain radioactive materials. Guidance on design of radioactive waste management systems, structures, and components is provided in Regulatory Guide 1.143. Meeting the requirements of GDC 60 provides assurance that releases of radioactive materials during normal operation and during anticipated operational occurrences will not result in onsite radiation doses that exceed the limits specified in the regulations.60 6. Compliance with GDC 63 and GDC 64 requires installation of systems (a) to monitor radioactive waste facilities for excessive radiation levels and (b) to survey radioactive effluent discharge paths and the plant environs for radioactivity released during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and postulated accidents. GDC 63 and GDC 64 relate directly to SRP Section 11.5 because they focus on monitoring radiation levels within the plant, as well as radiation levels in effluent streams and the plant environs during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and postulated accidents. The requirements specified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xvii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) are consistent with the requirements of GDC 64. Regulatory Guide 1.21 provides guidance on radiological monitoring programs for normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences; ANSI N13.1-1993 provides guidance on sampling airborne radioactive materials in nuclear facilities; and Regulatory Guide 4.15 provides guidance on quality assurance program requirements. Meeting the requirements of GDC 63 and GDC 64 provides assurance that the level of radiation in effluents from nuclear power plants will not exceed specified limits.61 DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 11.5-10 III.
