RADIATION PROTECTION DESIGN FEATURES 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), as it relates to radiation protection design features, taking into account design dose rates, anticipated operational occurrences (AOO), and accident conditions. The staff will review the radiation protection design features to ensure the applicant’s design reflects Occupational Radiation Exposure (ORE) from radioactive material in the facility is as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA), controls the exposure of members of the public to direct radiation from sources located at the facility, minimizes contamination of the facility and the environment, minimizes the generation of waste and protects equipment important to safety. 12.3-12.4-2 Revision 5 – September 2013 The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. Facility Design Features A. In the CP PSAR, the DC FSAR or the COL FSAR, the description of equipment and facility design features used for assuring that ORE will be ALARA. B. The radiation zone designations, including zone boundaries for normal operation (including AOOs refueling, and accident conditions (based on Regulatory Guides (RG) 1.3, 1.4, 1.7, or 1.183) (CP PSAR and updates in the OL FSAR, DC FSAR, or the COL FSAR to the extent that they are not addressed in a referenced certified design). C. The illustrative examples of facility design features of the equipment, components, and systems, including clearly readable scaled layout and arrangement drawings of the facility showing all source locations and the other design details, requested in Section 12.3.1 of RG 1.70 (CP PSAR and updates in the OL FSAR) or Subsection C.I.12.3.1 of RG 1.206
