nted the NRC staff’s safety evaluation of the URD. The URD reviewed by the staff in 1992 referenced a number of industry documents, such as NP- 6737, “Cobalt Reduction Guidelines,” that provided contemporary operating experience regarding design practices beneficial to reducing ORE by controlling potential sources of radiation. While, the state of technology has advanced since the issuance of the initial URD, the reports referenced within the URD, revised versions of those reports and new reports (e.g. “Pressurized Water Reactor 12.2-11 Draft Revision 4 – October 2012 Primary Water Zinc Application Guidelines,”) related to reducing the amount of radioactive material contained in plant systems, are sources of information that describe the current state of technology that may be used to evaluate design specifications provided to ensure ORE is ALARA, consistent with the guidance in RG 8.8 and the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1003 and 1101(b), and 10 CFR 52.47(a)(22) to ensure that operating insights have been incorporated into the plant design. The reviewer will examine locations of the contained sources relative to shield walls, occupied areas, traffic pathways, inservice inspection points, sampling stations, controls, and other parameters for special situations requiring additional action to ensure that ORE will be ALARA and that the bases for the radiation dose to equipment specified by 10 CFR 50.49 are described. Based on the review, the staff may request additional information or ask the applicant to reevaluate the analysis and modify those areas that do not meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. 1. For review of a DC application, the reviewer should follow the above procedures to verify that the design, including requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters), set forth in the FSAR meets the acceptance criteria. DCs have referred to the FSAR as the design control document. The reviewer
