Content:
data or information should be obtained: ` a map or aerial photograph of the site vicinity with proposed monitoring and sampling locations clearly identified and keyed to indicate the medium sampled at each location. The map or photograph should be suitable to show distance and direction of each location from the plant, particularly with regard to the effluent release points (from the environmental reports [ERs]). ` a detailed description of the proposed monitoring program including (1) number and location of sample collection points and measuring devices and the pathway sampled or measured, (2) sample size, sample collection frequency, and sampling duration, (3) type and frequency of analysis, (4) general types of sample collection and measuring equipment, (5) lower limit of detection for each analysis, (6) the approximate date on which the proposed program will be effective, and (7) the quality-assurance program for radiological environmental monitoring programs (from the ER) ` a discussion justifying the choice of sample sites, analyses, sampling frequencies, sampling and measuring durations, sample sizes, and lower limits of detection (from the ER) ` principal radiological exposure pathways (from ESRP 5.4.1) ` radioactive effluent release points (from ESRP 3.5). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the radiological environmental measurements and monitoring programs are found in the following: ` Regulatory Guide 4.1, Rev.1, Programs for Monitoring Radioactivity in the Environs of Nuclear Power Plants (NRC 1975), with respect to establishing a program for monitoring radioactive materials from a reactor in the environment October 1999 6.2-3 NUREG-1555 ` Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev.1, Quality Assumptions for Radiological Monitoring Programs (Normal Operations)—Effluent Streams and the Environment (NRC 1979a), with respect to establishing an appropriate quality assurance program for the radiological environmental monitoring program ` Radiological
