unrestricted areas ALARA within the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. In addition, the staff reviewed and found reasonable the estimate provided by the applicant of the quantity of each principal radionuclide expected to be released annually to unrestricted areas in liquid and gaseous effluents produced from normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. The staff’s detailed evaluation of the radioactive waste management systems and the capability of these systems to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, are presented in Chapter 11 of the SER. The quantities of radioactive material calculated by the staff to be released annually from the plant in liquid and gaseous effluents are presented in this EIS (and are also presented in Chapter 11 of the SER), with the calculated maximum individual and population doses that are expected to result from these effluent quantities. This evaluation applies to applications for construction permits, operating licenses, and early site permits. At the time of the operating license review, the applicant will be required to submit Technical Specifications that will establish release rates for radioactive material in liquid and gaseous effluents and that provide for the routine monitoring and measurement of all principal release points to ensure that the plant will operate in conformance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and other applicable Federal regulations. The reviewer should provide appropriate references to the applicant’s ER in the above input. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for comply- ing with specified portions of the regulations.
