fic SRP acceptance criteria are: 1. Facility Design Features The acceptability of the facility design features will be based on evidence that the applicant has fulfilled the dose limiting requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(b)(3), 10 CFR 52.47(a)(5), 10 CFR 52.79(a)(3) and 10 CFR 52.157(e), 10 CFR 20.1201, 10 CFR 20.1202, 10 CFR 20.1203, 10 CFR 20.1204, and 10 CFR 20.1207, as well as the radiation protection aspects of GDC 19 and 61, and 10 CFR 50.34, and 10 CFR 50.49 for controlling radiation dose to electrical equipment important to safety and 10 CFR 52.47(a)(22). This includes evidence that major exposure accumulating functions (maintenance, refueling, radioactive material handling and processing, inservice inspection, calibration, decommissioning, and recovery from accidents) have been considered in plant design that the evidence should also include radiation protection features incorporated into the design, taking into account the state of technology, that will keep potential radiation exposure from these activities ALARA in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1101(b), the definition of ALARA in 10 CFR 20.1003, and RGs 8.8 and 8.10. Such features may include (1) the ease of accessibility to work, inspection, and sampling areas, (2) the ability to reduce source intensity, (3) design measures to reduce the production, distribution, and retention of activated corrosion products (e.g., material selection, water chemistry and decontamination connections), (4) the ability to reduce time required in radiation fields, and (5) a provision for portable 12.3-12.4-17 Revision 5 – September 2013 shielding and remote handling tools. Evidence of methods to control personnel exposure from high dose rate components such as temporary storage areas for irradiated fuel and irradiated core components (e.g., storage and handling of fixed in core detectors during outage) should be considered during plant design. Access control will be judged for acceptability in accordance with the requirements of
