REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of health physics issues. Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The staff will review the applicant’s Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) for a construction permit (CP) or Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for an operating license (OL), design certification (DC), or combined license (COL) Technical Submittal, as it relates to radiation sources in normal operations, anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs), and accident conditions used as the bases for determining the radiation protection design features provided to ensure compliance with the requirements of the commission, including: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 20.1101(b) to maintain Occupational Radiation Exposure (ORE) as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA); 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart H to control the concentration of radioactive material in the air for workers; 10 CFR 20.1301(e) and Exposure (ORE) as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA); 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart H to control the concentration of radioactive material in the air for workers; 10 CFR 20.1301(e) and 40 CFR Part 190 to control the exposure of members of the public from direct radiation sources. 12.2-2 Draft Revision 4 – October 2012 The staff also reviews sources of radioactive material used as the bases for determining the design features needed to comply with the requirements of: 10 CFR 20.1406 to minimize contamination of the facility and the environment, minimize the generation of waste and facilitate decommissioning; 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart I to control radioactive material, and 10 CFR 50.49 to identify the types and quantities of radioactive material that may affect the qualification of electrical equipment important to safety. The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. Contained Sources. The description of radiation sources, during normal operations and accident conditions in the plant, is used as the basis for designing the
