or units), including liquid and gaseous effluents and external radiation exposures from buildings and storage tanks, and N-16 skyshine from BWR turbine buildings as sources of external radiation, will not exceed the EPA generally applicable environmental radiation standards of 40 CFR Part 190 as implemented under 10 CFR Part 20.1301(e). SER Section 12.3-12.4 evaluates the doses associated with external radiation from buildings and sources of radioactivity contained in systems and components. 4. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1406 with respect to providing a description of how facility design and procedures for operation will minimize, to the extent practicable, contamination of the facility and the environment; facilitate eventual decommissioning; and minimize, to the extent practicable, the generation of radioactive waste, with supplemental information presented in FSAR Section 12.3-12.4. The staff concludes that the proposed design features and operational programs and procedures are consistent with NRC guidance and the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1406. 5. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 60 and 61 with respect to controlling releases of radioactive materials to the environment. The staff has considered the ability of the proposed liquid radwaste treatment management system to meet the demands of the plant resulting from AOOs and has concluded that the system capacity and design flexibility are adequate to meet the anticipated needs of the plant. In controlling releases to the environment, the staff has found the design of automatic control features acceptable in terminating liquid effluent discharges or diverting process flows to subsystems for storage and further processing. Supplemental information on radiological instrumentation monitoring and controls is presented and evaluated under SER Section 11.5. The staff has reviewed the applicant’s vacuum mitigating provisions for the LWMS and found these features to be in compliance
