Content:
Sv (25 mrem) to the whole body, 0.75 mSv (75 mrem) to the thyroid, and 0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to any other organ of any member of the public as the result of exposures to planned discharges of radioactive materials, radon and its daughters excepted, to the general environment from uranium fuel cycle operations, and to radiation from these operations. Table 5.4.3-2 compares the doses from all pathways, including direct radiation from all units at the site to the 40 CFR 190 limits. The staff also concluded that the collective doses of _____(a)person-sievert/yr (__ person-rem/yr) to the population within 80 km (50 mi) of the plant (Table 5.4.3-3), including the annual estimated collective occupational dose, are not significant when compared with the annual collective natural radiation background doses of _____(b) person-sievert/yr ( person-rem/yr) to the 80-km (50-mi) population. To estimate the risks to the population living within 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the _____ Site, the staff used the ICRP 60 (ICRP 1991) factor of approximately 1 severe hereditary effect per 110 person-sieverts (130 severe hereditary effects per million person-rem) which is multiplied by the dose from exposure to radioactivity attributable to the Site’s effluents. As a result, the staff concluded that there will be no observable health impact to the public from normal operation of the plant. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
