gram, and operating and administrative procedures that must be in place. The requirements imposed by 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) are an integral part of the areas covered by this SRP section. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) will provide a level of assurance that actions needed to monitor conditions in the plant during a postulated accident can be performed such that individual workers will not receive radiation doses that exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. 4. Compliance with GDC 64 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that means be provided to monitor the atmosphere in areas in which components are located that potentially contain radioactive fluids and gases that may be released during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrence (AOOs) and accidents. SRP Section 12.5 covers the administrative controls that encompass the radiation protection program. GDC 64 applies to SRP Section 12.5 because one part of the program is monitoring and surveillance of radiation areas during normal operation, during AOOs and following accidental releases of radioactive materials. Meeting the requirements of GDC 64 will provide a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials to the environment will be detected and that resultant exposures will be ALARA and will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. 5. 10 CFR Part 71 contains requirements for packaging and transporting licensed radioactive materials. These requirements apply to the transportation of radioactive wastes as well as the transportation of activated or contaminated components or equipment transferred during the operation and maintenance of the plant. Additional requirements in Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 20 applies to the transfer of radioactive wastes for land disposal. The scope of 10 CFR Part 20 and SRP Section 12.5 includes the transfer of radioactive materials. Although the programmatic
