levels exceeding the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.19 2. Compliance with GDC 61 requires that systems which may contain radioactivity shall be designed to assure adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions. This criterion specifies that such systems be designed with appropriate containment, confinement, and filtering systems. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 12.2-6 The requirements of this GDC apply to this SRP because systems and components that contain radioactive material are a potential source of exposures to individual workers and members of the public both as a consequence of normal operation and accidents. Meeting the requirement of GDC 61 provides a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials during normal operation and during anticipated operational occurrences will not result in radiation doses that exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. In addition, meeting the requirement will help assure that the system will continue to perform its safety function(s) under postulated accident conditions.20 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer determines whether the source term design bases are consistent with the acceptance criteria, and whether source strengths, concentrations of airborne radioactivity, and quantitative source descriptions are consistent with the assumptions made and the methods used by the applicant. Locations of the contained sources relative to shield walls, occupied areas, traffic pathways, inservice inspection points, sampling stations, controls, etc., are examined for special situations requiring additional action to assure that occupational radiation exposures (ORE) will be as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). Based on the review, RABPERB may request 21 additional information or request the applicant to reevaluate the analysis for the purpose of modifying those areas which do not meet the acceptance criteria given in subsection II of this SRP section.
