tion program to be used in the operation of a nuclear power plant. 12.5-13 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 The referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 specify in detail the administrative procedures including maintaining radiation doses ALARA, design features, shielding, and monitoring to control occupational radiation exposures, doses in unrestricted areas, performance of surveys, posting radiation areas, packaging and storage of radioactive material, and maintaining records of and reporting radiation exposures, and therefore apply to this SRP. 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 workers will only receive radiation doses that are ALARA and therefore, will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.65 3. The NRC regulation 10 CFR Part 50, §50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) relates to monitoring of in- plant radiation and airborne radioactivity for routine and accident conditions. The SRP 12.5 relates to review and approval of the radiation protection program that is required to be implemented at all nuclear power plants. It covers the administration of the program, the qualifications of radiation protection personnel, the equipment and facilities that support the radiation protection program, and the operating and administrative procedures that must be in place. The requirements imposed by 10 CFR Part 50, §50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) are an integral part of the areas covered by SRP 12.5. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) will provide a level of assurance that exposure to radioactivity will be monitored such that individual workers will not receive radiation doses that exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.66 4. Compliance with GDC 64 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
