ial exposure pathways involving usable surface water and groundwater. The dose-based acceptance criteria should not be construed as a literal demonstration of compliance with 10 CFR 20.1301 and 10 CFR 20.1302. Rather, the acceptance criteria are defined here as a measure of acceptability in assessing the radiological impacts of a postulated tank failure on usable sources of surface water or groundwater. While the ECLs of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 are a reasonable standard for direct consumption of water, their use is not as obvious or practical for indirect uses of water and for the consumption of impacted food products. As a result, a dose-based limit is applied instead, because it provides the most flexibility in assessing compliance, regardless of the postulated exposure scenarios. BTP 11-6-15 Draft Revision 4 – August 2014 3. If the results of site-specific analyses do not conform with SRP acceptance criteria, as described here and in Appendix B to this BTP, the applicant is should propose TS limiting the total amount of radioactivity in such tanks and components. The health physics staff will evaluate the proposed technical specification limiting the radioactivity content of liquid-containing tanks and components to ensure that the TS are consistent with the safety evaluation. Chapter 16, Section 5.5, “Programs and Manuals,” of the SRP identifies the requirements for this technical specification and commitments in COL applications. In addition, this requirement is supported in the ODCM, NUREG-1301 “Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Guidance: Standard Radiological Effluent Controls for Pressurized-Water Reactors,” issued April 1991, for pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and NUREG-1302, “Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Guidance: Standard Radiological Effluent Controls for Boiling-Water Reactors,” issued April 1991, for boiling water reactors (BWRs), which includes the procedures to comply with this requirement. As part of the ODCM,
