RADIATION PROTECTION DESIGN FEATURES REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of health physics issues. Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The staff will review the applicant’s preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR) for a construction permit (CP) or final safety analysis report (FSAR) for an operating license (OL), design certification (DC), or combined license (COL) as it relates to radiation protection design features, taking into account design dose rates, anticipated operational occurrences, and accident conditions. The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. Facility Design Features A. In the CP PSAR, the DC FSAR or the COL FSAR, the description of equipment and facility design features used for assuring that occupational radiation exposure (ORE) will be as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) 12.3-12.4-2 Revision 3 - March 2007 B. The radiation zone designations, including zone boundaries for normal operational (including abnormal operational occurrences), refueling, and accident conditions (based on Regulatory Guides 1.3, 1.4, 1.7, or 1.183) (CP PSAR and updates in the OL FSAR, DC FSAR, or the COL FSAR to the extent that they are not addressed in a referenced certified design. C. The illustrative examples of facility design features of the equipment, components, and systems, including clearly readable scaled layout and arrangement drawings of the facility showing all source locations and the other design details, requested in Section 12.3.1 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.70 (CP PSAR and updates in the OL FSAR) or RG 1.206 (DC FSAR or COL FSAR to the extent that they are not addressed in a referenced certified design); specification of shield wall thicknesses for all shielded spaces on the drawings or in separate tables D. Information describing the implementation of Regulatory Guide 8.8 guidelines on facility and equipment design and layout, as well as information describing any proposed alternatives (CP PSAR and
