Content:
include a summary of the applicant’s submittal, the staff’s basis for review and acceptance criteria, and the findings of the review: The staff concludes that the operational radiation protection program is acceptable and meets the requirements of 10 CFR 19.12 and 10 CFR 19.13; 10 CFR Part 20; and GDC 64 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. This conclusion is based on the following findings. The Radiation protection program objectives are to provide reasonable assurance that the limits of 10 CFR 20.1201, 10 CFR 20.1202, 10 CFR 20.1203, 10 CFR 20.1204, 10 CFR 20.1207, and 10 CFR 20.1208 will not be exceeded; to reduce unavoidable exposures further; and to ensure that individual occupational radiation exposures are maintained as far below regulatory limits as is reasonably achievable and that total person-rem doses are ALARA, in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1101(b) and the definition of ALARA in 10 CFR 20.1003 and Regulatory Guides 8.8 and 8.10. The duties of the plant [radiation protection manager] include [list duties]. The radiation protection organizations, qualifications, personnel training, program objectives, and implementation methods are in accordance with the guidelines in Regulatory Guides 1.8, 8.2, 8.8, 8.10, and 8.13 and with 10 CFR 19.12 and NUREG-0731 and therefore are acceptable. The radiation protection features at [plant name] include a [radiochemistry laboratory, personnel decontamination and emergency treatment areas, an access control point, counting room, calibration room, respirator testing facility, office, laundry, and other relevant features]. These facilities are sufficient to maintain occupational radiation exposures ALARA and are consistent with the guidelines in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) and Section III.D.3.3 of NUREG-0737, which provides additional detail and clarification of requirements, and with the provisions of Regulatory Guide 8.8. 12.5-19 Revision 3 - March 2007 Equipment to be used for radiation protection purposes includes
