The evaluation should address dose from operations to the MEI located at the proposed site boundary and the population dose (collective dose to the population within 50 mi) around the proposed site. Maximally Exposed Individual The applicant should provide the total body and organ dose estimates to the MEI from liquid and gaseous effluents for the proposed facility and compare it to the design objectives of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I. A comparison of the dose estimates for the proposed facility should be presented in a table similar to Table 5-3. For multiple units, or building of a new unit adjacent to an operating unit, the applicant should compare the combined dose estimates from direct radiation and gaseous and liquid effluents from the operating facility and the proposed facility. The data should be provided in a table similar to Table 5-4 and compared to the dose standards in 40 CFR Part 190, “Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations,” (Ref. 67).
