REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Radiological Assessment Branch (RAB)Emergency Preparedness and Radiation Protection Branch (PERB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The following areas of the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) are reviewed, as they relate to radiation sources in normal operations, anticipated operational occurrences, and accident conditions, affecting inplant radiation protection: 1. Contained Sources The description of radiation sources, during normal operations and accident conditions in the plant, is used as the basis for designing the radiation protection program and for shield design calculations (SAR Chapter 11 contains the description for sources contained in equipment of the radioactive waste management systems). This description should include isotopic composition, location in the plant, source strength and source geometry, and the basis for the values in the preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR), and update in the final safety analysis report (FSAR). The descriptions should include any required radiation sources containing byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 12.2-2 2. Airborne Radioactive Material Sources The description of airborne radioactive material sources in the plant considered in the design of the ventilation systems, and used for design of personnel protective measures and for dose assessment. (SAR Chapter 11 contains the description for airborne sources to be considered for their contribution to the plant effluent releases, through equipment of the radioactive waste management systems or the plant ventilation system.) This description should include a tabulation of the calculated concentrations of radioactive material, by nuclide, expected during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences and accident conditions for equipment cubicles, corridors, and operating areas normally occupied by operating personnel, and should include models and parameters for the
