onstrate that the LWMS design includes all items of reasonably demonstrated technology for reducing cumulative population doses from releases of radioactive materials from each reactor to ALARA levels within an 80 km (50 mi) radius of the reactor and to comply with the cost-benefit ratio of Section II.D of Appendix I. Meeting the requirements of Section II.A of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 provides assurance that the limits for radiation doses to a maximally exposed offsite individual from liquid effluents and ALARA provisions of Section II.D of Appendix I will be met. 5. Compliance with GDC 60 requires that each nuclear power plant design shall include means to control releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents and to handle radioactive wastes (e.g., solid, sludge, resins, etc.) produced during normal reactor operation, including AOOs. GDC 60 requires that waste management systems provide for a holdup capacity sufficient to retain the radioactive waste, particularly where unfavorable site environmental conditions may impose unusual operational limitations upon the release of effluents. The holdup capacity should provide sufficient decay time for shorter-lived radionuclides before they are processed further or released to the environment. The holdup times are used in the source term calculations based on the methods described in RG 1.112, NUREG-0016 (BWRs), NUREG-0017 (PWRs), or ANSI/ANS 18.1-1999, as modified to reflect specific design features. The review should evaluate the types and characteristics of filtration systems, ion-exchange resins, and adsorbent media proposed to treat liquid process and effluent streams, including number and volume of each ion-exchange resin column or activated charcoal bed, types and volumes of ion-exchange resins or activated charcoals, removal efficiencies and decontamination factors taking into account the expected physical, chemical, and radiological properties of liquid process and effluent streams, and processing
