ees to adopt a policy and 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 RG8.8 and 8.10, which also cover ALARA principles. 3. Collectively, this SRP subsection and the noted RG 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. 4. The applicant’s FSAR should describe the radiation protection program and its implementation. In SECY-04-0032, “Programmatic Information Needed for Approval of a Combined License Application Without Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria” the Commission concluded that ITAAC on programs should not be necessary if the program and its implementation are fully described in the application, and that “fully described” should be understood to mean that the program is clearly and sufficiently described in terms of scope and level of detail to allow a reasonable assurance finding of program acceptability in the COL. The NRC staff’s safety evaluation reports (SERs) associated with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) technical reports NEI 07-03A “Generic DCD Template Guidance for Radiation Protection Program Description” (ADAMS Accession Number ML091490684), NEI 07-08A “Generic FSAR Template Guidance for Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures are as Low as is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)” (ADAMS Accession Number ML093220178) and NEI 08-08A “Guidance for Life Cycle Minimization of Contamination” (ADAMS Accession Number ML093220530) provide the bases for the use of the referenced templates to
