tion is required by license conditions. Acceptance will be based on a determination that the 10 CFR Part 52 COL applicant has described the intended implementation of the radiation protection program, ALARA program and Ground Water Protection program. A phased-in implementation should include appropriate milestones in the construction of the facility. Staffing levels, equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to ensure radiation safety of the workers and public, and minimization of contamination for each phase of implementation should be identified. At a minimum, the program implementation at the following milestones must be addressed: A. Before receipt of licensed radioactive sources B. Before receipt of special nuclear material (i.e., reactor fuel) subject to the monitoring requirements of 10 CFR 70.24 C. Before loading fuel in the reactor vessel D. Before the first shipment of radioactive material from the facility site The NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) associated with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) technical reports NEI 07-03A “Generic DCD Template Guidance for Radiation Protection Program Description” (ADAMS Accession Number ML091490684), NEI 07-08A “Generic FSAR Template Guidance for Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures are as Low as is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)” (ADAMS Accession Number ML093220178) and NEI 08-08A “Guidance for Life Cycle Minimization of Contamination” (ADAMS Accession Number ML093220530) provide the bases for the use of the referenced templates to describe acceptable operational ALARA, Radiation Protection and Ground Water Protection programs which conform to the guidance of the stated Regulatory Guidance documents. For those licensees that elect to demonstrate compliance with the programmatic requirements of 10 CFR 20.1101 and 20.1406 via alternate methods, SECY-04-0032, “Programmatic Information Needed for Approval of a Combined License Without Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance
