Content:
of numerical guides for design objectives and limiting conditions for operation to meet the ALARA criterion for radioactive materials contained in LWR effluents. 4. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 60, as it relates to determining the operational source term that is used in calculations associated with potential radioactivity in liquid and gaseous effluents released into unrestricted areas, such that a nuclear power unit design shall include the means to control releases of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents produced during normal reactor operation and AOOs. While GDC 60 is not applicable to an ESP application, an applicant is required to provide information characterizing anticipated levels of radioactivity in effluents under 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(ii). 5. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 61, as it relates to the design of facilities and shielding used for the safe storage and handling of radioactive materials and other systems containing radioactivity for the purpose of assessing radiological safety under normal operations and postulated accident conditions. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations identified above are set forth below. The SRP is not a substitute for NRC regulations and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between this SRP section and design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for the facility, and discuss how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of complying with the regulations that underlie SRP acceptance criteria and meet NRC regulatory requirements under 10 CFR 50.34(h), 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(xii), 10 CFR 52.47(a)(9), and 10 CFR 52.79(a)(41) for ESP, CP, DC, OL, and COL applications. 11.1-8 Revision 4 – January 2016 In general, reactor coolant and steam source terms used as the design basis
