Content:
CFR Part 20 applies to the transfer of radioactive wastes for land disposal. The scope of 10 CFR Part 20 and SRP Section 12.5 includes the transfer of radioactive materials. Although the programmatic requirements in 10 CFR Part 71 extend beyond monitoring and radiation surveys, they are provided to ensure that the transportation of licensed radioactive materials off site does not result in unnecessary or inadvertent 12.5-19 Revision 5 – September 2013 exposures to members of the public and that an uncontrolled release of such material does not occur. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 71.5, in addition to the requirements in Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 20, will provide a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials to the environment will not result from transportation or waste disposal activities and that doses to members of the public will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. 6. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 establishes quality assurance requirements for the operation of a nuclear power plant. Guidance is provided by RG 1.33. The procedures implemented to ensure the quality of the radiation protection program safety-related activities identified in RG 1.33, as well as the required periodic review of the content and implementation of the radiation protection program, are integral to SRP Section 12.5. A quality assurance program satisfies the quality assurance requirements in 10 CFR 71.101 if it meets the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and is established, maintained, and executed to address the transportation of radioactive materials. 7. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20.1406, by utilizing the guidance contained in RG 4.21 and RG 4.22, which specify the administrative procedures to which this SRP applies, including problem identification and resolution; maintenance of design features provided to minimize contamination; use of engineering controls and monitoring to minimize contamination; and maintaining records to
