. The requirements of this GDC apply to SRP Section 12.3-12.4 because systems and components that contain radioactive material are a potential source of radiation exposure to individual workers in the event of leakage of the systems or components, during normal operation, AOOs, or in the event of an accident. Meeting the requirements of GDC 61 provides a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials during normal operation and AOOs will not result in radiation doses that exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. In addition, meeting the requirements will help ensure that systems continue to perform safety functions under postulated accident conditions. 5. Compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.68 or 10 CFR 70.24 and GDC 63 ensures that appropriate radiation monitoring is provided in areas of the plant where special nuclear material is handled, used, or stored. In addition, GDC 63 provides for adequate monitoring spaces containing radioactive waste systems. Prompt detection of excessive radiation levels in these areas resulting from normal operations or abnormal operational occurrences is necessary to identify potentially hazardous conditions for the plant workers and possible releases of radioactivity. 6. Compliance with 10 CFR 50.49(e)(4) and GDC 4 found in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 ensures that the radiation environment expected during normal operation and the most severe design bases accident, will not exceed the functional capabilities of electric equipment relied upon to remain functional during and following DBEs, including AOOs. 7. Compliance with the requirement of Criterion 30-Quality of reactor coolant pressure boundary, ensures that means are provided for detecting and, to the extent practical, identifying the location of the source of reactor coolant leakage. Compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E VI.2(a), ensures the provision of accurate and timely radiation monitor data needed to determine core and
