Content:
r facility during the construction period, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Identify the sources of radiation that will contribute to the radiation exposure of construction workers. ` Base this identification on review of the adjacent nuclear facility description provided by the applicant as appropriate. ` Consult with the reviewers of ESRP 3.1 and Chapter 12 of the applicant’s PSAR, if available, and participate in or get information from reviewers who participate in the site visit to complete this portion of the analysis. Sources to be considered in this portion of the analysis have been identified in the “Data and Information Needs” of this ESRP. (2) Determine the source strength for each of the sources identified in Item 1, above. ` Accomplish this determination by either direct reviewer calculation of these values or by analysis to validate and accept the applicant’s data. ` When the latter procedure is used, conduct this portion of the analysis by comparing the applicant’s data with available data from similar systems. (3) From the information provided in the ER or PSAR (if available), determine the location, number, duration of stay, and possible shielding of construction workers. ` If shielding is not practical, consider these workers to be occupationally exposed. Consult with the reviewer of ESRP 3.1 or Chapter 12 of the applicant’s PSAR, if available, to confirm plant and station layout and establish possible worker shielding factors and plant construction schedules through the site visit and consultation with the applicant. (4) Determine the radiation dose rates at the principal onsite locations where construction workers will be present and at locations where particularly high dose rates could be expected on the basis of the source strengths determined in Item 2 above.
