ce criteria to reviewing the gaseous waste management system is discussed in the following paragraphs:49 1. 10 CFR Part 20, § 1302, requires that surveys of radiation levels in unrestricted areas and radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas be performed to demonstrate system compliance with the dose limits to individual members of the public contained in 10 CFR Part 20, § 20.1301. 10 CFR Part 20, § 20.1302, identifies two approaches, either of which can demonstrate compliance with the dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20, § 1301. The requirements for one of these approaches are the following: a. Demonstrate that the annual average concentrations of radioactive material released in gaseous and liquid effluents at the boundary of the unrestricted area do not exceed the effluent concentration limits specified in Table 2 of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 20; and b. Demonstrate that the annual and hourly doses from external sources to an individual continuously present in an unrestricted area will not exceed 0.5 mSv (0.05 rem) and 0.02 mSv (0.002 rem), respectively. 50 51 Meeting the requirement on gaseous effluent concentration limits in unrestricted areas is identified as an acceptance criterion in this SRP section. Meeting the requirement on offsite doses identified above will be reviewed by PERB as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 12.1 material. Meeting both requirements provide assurance that the dose limits to individual members of the public, specified in 10 CFR Part 20, § 1301, will not be exceeded.52 2. Acceptance Criterion II.2 gives the technical rationale for 10 CFR Part 50, § 50.34a, requirement. Meeting the requirement of 10 CFR Part 50, § 50.34a, as it relates to the gaseous waste management system provides assurance that the nuclear power reactors will meet the requirement that controlled releases of radioactive material in effluents to the 11.3-9 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 environment of unrestricted areas in
