ection capabilities to facilitate initiation of timely corrective actions and to ensure that effluent concentrations in unrestricted areas arising from SWMS operation do not exceed the 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2 limits and radiation exposures to occupational workers do not exceed the 10 CFR Part 20 limits.32 5. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 64 (GDC 64), "Monitoring Radioactivity Releases," requires that provisions be provided for monitoring the effluent discharge paths and the plant environs for radioactive material that may be released from normal operations, including anticipated operational occurrences and from postulated accidents. SRP Section 11.4 describes staff positions related to the design of the SWMS including provisions for equipment to be used to prevent spillage while filling, pouring and from overfilling the containers. In addition, provisions are made to contain the contents of the resin storage tanks in the event of a failure. Meeting the requirements of GDC 64 will provide a level of assurance that the SWMS will be provided with the capabilities to monitor and detect leakages to ensure that the effluent concentrations in unrestricted areas arising from SWMS operation do not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Columns 1 and 2.33 6. 10 CFR Part 61, "Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste," establish, for land disposal of radioactive waste, the procedures, criteria, and terms and conditions for the disposal of radioactive wastes containing byproduct, source and other special nuclear material. The SWMS processes both wet solid wastes and dry active wastes for shipment to a licensed disposal facility. With regard to the SWMS, 10 CFR Part 61, §§ 61.55 and 61.56, require that provisions be included in the system design that describe the dewatering process and solidification process and the classifying, processing, and the disposing of solid wastes. The system should
