ordance with the guidelines of Task Action Plan item II.D.3.1 and supplemented by NUREG-0761, including criteria, concepts, and implementation schemes to be included as part of opera- tional radiation protection programs for power reactors. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The information furnished in the SAR is reviewed for completeness in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.70. RAB reviews the management policy and the planned organizational structure to determine how the guidance given in Regulatory Guides 8.8, 8.10, and 1.8 will be implemented, and considers any alternatives proposed. The review of organization structure includes a determination of whether the individuals responsible for the radiation protection program are on a high enough level of management to assure independence from operating pressures, and implementation of management's commitment for assuring that ORE will be ALARA and that radiation protection management has direct access to station management in radiation protection matters. Any concerns regarding organizational structure as related to the radiation protection manager will be communicated to the Licensee Qualification Branch, which has primary review responsibility for this item, in Chapter 13. The reviewer uses NUREG-0731 for additional guidance on acceptable operating organizations. The reviewer evaluates information in this section in accordance with Regulatory Guide 8.8, Section C.1.b.(3), to determine whether the organizational structure provides a mechanism for the radiation protection manager and the radiation protection organization to interact with design review groups in such a manner that methods and techniques for reducing ORE will be incorporated in the design of the plant. If the future plant Radiation Protection Manager has not yet been selected, design review should be accomplished in accordance with the guidance of Regulatory Guide 8.8, unless acceptable alternatives are proposed. The reviewer determines that appropriate personnel
