the maintenance of PERMISS systems that are important to the protection of public health and safety. The evaluation of the maintenance program should consider systems that include radiation monitoring equipment, as described in this SRP section, radiation protection features described in SRP Section 12.3-12.4, and those that are used in plant emergency operating procedures. The review should confirm that the radiation monitoring equipment and their use in the context of emergency procedures provide the means of fulfilling their intended functions and can be relied upon to mitigate AOOs, transients, or accidents. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. The review should confirm that the applicant has submitted sufficient information for the staff to conduct an independent evaluation of any proposed alternative method and demonstration of compliance with NRC regulations and conformance with SRP guidance and SRP acceptance criteria, and supporting regulatory guidance. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s justification and evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. While the PERMISS has been categorized as nonsafety-related and nonrisk-significant, the failure of specific systems or components may have some impacts on the means to control and 11.5-28 Revision 6 – January 2016 monitor liquid and gaseous effluent releases and in complying with NRC regulations under 10 CFR Part 20 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I. As such, the review of the PERMISS requires a detailed review to assess whether a failure of any PERMISS component might have an impact on demonstrating compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, effluent concentration limits and dose limits to members of the public and design objectives and ALARA provisions of 10 CFR
