Content:
on II.B.3 of NUREG-0737, applicants for OLs and COLs should describe the equipment, training, and procedures to obtain and analyze samples of reactor coolant and containment during an accident without resulting in excessive radiation doses to plant personnel. Utility management structure and technical lessons will be acceptable if they meet the criteria in RG 8.8 and NUREG-0731. 4. Operational Programs. For COL reviews, the description of the operational program and proposed implementation milestone for the Radiation protection program is reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1101. Its implementation is required by a license condition. 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. 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 12.5-14 Revision 4 - May 2010 of the workers and public 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 Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with 10 CFR 19.12 requires keeping workers informed about radiation levels, instructing them about health problems associated with exposure to radiation, teaching them precautions to minimize exposure to radiation, instructing them to report violations of Commission regulations, and instructing them in the
