n features to control radioactive effluent releases to the environment resulting from its operation, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1302, Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50, and GDC 60 and 61. The review should evaluate the types and characteristics of filtration systems, ion-exchange resins, and adsorbent and stabilization media proposed to treat liquid and wet wastes. This includes removal efficiencies, decontamination factors, waste volume increase factors for stabilized wastes, and volume decrease factors for compacted wastes, taking into account the expected physical, chemical, and radiological properties of process waste and effluent streams. The review should determine whether performance meets or exceeds that noted in NRC guidance, standard DCs, industry standards, or topical reports. The NRC guidance includes NUREG-0016 or NUREG-0017 and Regulatory Guide 1.112, as they relate to the use of acceptable methods for calculating radionuclide concentrations in process streams and annual effluent releases, and Regulatory Guide 1.110, as it relates to performing cost-benefit analysis in reducing cumulative population doses by using available technology. 3. GDC 60, requires that the nuclear power unit design include provisions to handle radioactive wastes produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. GDC 60 specifies that the SWMS must provide for a holdup capacity sufficient to retain radioactive wastes, particularly where unfavorable site environmental conditions may impose unusual operational limitations on the release of effluents. Waste processing holdup times and long-term storage capacity also provide decay time for shorter-lived radionuclides before they are processed further or released to the environment. The holdup times are used in the source term calculations, employing the methods described in NUREG-0016 or NUREG-0017 and Regulatory Guide 1.112. 11.4-10 Revision 3 - March 2007 Meeting the
