ons for operation, and controls to meet the ALARA criterion for liquid effluents. Regulatory Guides 1.109 and 1.113 provide acceptable methods for performing dose analyses to demonstrate that the LWMS design results in doses caused by releases of radioactive materials from each reactor comply with Appendix I dose objectives. Regulatory Guide 1.110 provides an acceptable method of performing cost-benefit analysis to demonstrate 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. Meeting the requirements of Sections II.A and II.D 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 specified in Section II.A and the acceptance criterion for cost-benefit analysis specified in Section II.D for meeting the ALARA objective 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 solid wastes produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. GDC 60 specifies 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 also provides 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 NUREG-0016 or NUREG-0017 and Regulatory Guide 1.112. 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
