Content:
-0718, applicants for construction permits should provide preliminary design information concerning monitoring in-plant radiation dose rates and airborne radioactivity for a broad range of routine and emergency conditions. The monitors should meet the criteria of Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.97. Using the methods listed in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) and additional guidance from Section III.D.3.3 of NUREG-0737, applicants for operating licenses (OLs) and COLs should describe the equipment, training, and procedures to measure accurately the radioiodine concentration and external radiation dose rate levels in areas within the plant where plant personnel may be present during an accident. Using the methods listed in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and additional guidance from Section 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 Regulatory Guide 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 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
