cordance with 10 CFR 20.1101(b) and the definition of ALARA in 10 CFR 20.1103; RGs 1.8, 8.2, 8.8, and 8.10; and 10 CFR 19.12; and (2) are such that doses resulting from licensed activities fall within the limits of 10 CFR 20.1201, 10 CFR 20.1202, 10 CFR 20.1203, 10 CFR 20.1204, 10 CFR 20.1301, 10 CFR 20.1302, 10 CFR 50.120, NUREG-0731, and NUREG-1736. Alternatives will be evaluated on the basis of a comparison with the referenced RGs. 2. Equipment, Instrumentation, and Facilities Acceptance will be based on a determination of the following: A. Sufficient sampling and analysis capabilities for reactor coolant and containment samples are available during normal and accident conditions, consistent with 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii). B. The radiochemistry laboratory is equipped to perform the routine analyses required for personnel protection, surveys, and related radiation protection functions, in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1501. C. The counting room (low background) has the necessary instrumentation to perform routine counting on all plant radioactivity samples (e.g., water, air, swipes) in conformance with 10 CFR 20.1501 and with GDC 64 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. Counting room equipment normally includes the following: i. Radionuclide spectrometry equipment (such as a multichannel gamma pulse height analyzer). ii. Low-background alpha-beta proportional counter and gamma and alpha-beta scintillation counters. iii. End-window Geiger-Mueller type counter. 12.5-10 Revision 4 - May 2010 D. Instruments for measuring radiation or radioactivity in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1501 normally include the following: i. Portable low- and high-range ion chamber rate meters (see Revision 3 of RG 1.97 for ranges). ii. Portable Geiger-Mueller counters. iii. Portable alpha scintillation or proportional counter rate meters. iv. Portable neutron dose equivalent rate meters. v. Fixed and portable air samplers for use with particulate filters and iodine collection devices (such as charcoal
