d establish procedures designed to keep radiation exposures ALARA; therefore, it directly applies to SRP Section 12.1. SRP Section 12.1 describes staff positions related to the design and operation of nuclear plants, including positions to maintain radiation doses in conformance with the ALARA principle. The SRP references Regulatory Guides 8.8 and 8.10, which also cover ALARA principles. 12.1-6 Revision 3 - March 2007 3. Collectively, this SRP subsection and the noted regulatory guides provide the management policy and design and operational considerations that, if followed, will meet the NRC requirements relative to ALARA. Meeting these requirements will provide reasonable assurance that plant operations will result in occupational doses and doses to members of the public ALARA. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. The reviewer will evaluate the information furnished in the SAR for completeness in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.70 or RG 1.206 for DCs and COLs. The staff will review the management policy and planned organizational structure to determine how the guidance given in Regulatory Guides 1.8, 8.8, and 8.10 will be implemented, and will consider any alternatives proposed. The review of organizational structure includes a determination of whether the individuals responsible for the radiation protection program are at a sufficiently high level of management to ensure reasonable independence from operating pressures, as well as an evaluation of the implementation of management’s commitment for ensuring that ORE will be ALARA and that
