de available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate. to accommodate comments and to reflect new informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington. D.C. 2(M. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance criteria are based on the relevant requirements of 10 CFR Part 100 as it relates to mitigating the radiological consequences of an accident. The plant site and the dose mitigating engineered safety features are acceptable with respect to the radiological consequences of a postulated steam generator tube failure accident at a PWR facility if the calculated whole-body and thyroid doses at the exclusion area and the low population zone outer boundaries do not exceed the following exposure guidelines: (1) for the postulated accident with an assumed preaccident iodine spike in the reactor coolant and for the postulated accident with the highest worth control rod stuck out of the core the calculated doses should not exceed the guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100, Section 11 (Ref. 1), and (2) for the postulated accident with the equilibrium iodine concentration for continued full power operation in combination with an assumed accident initiated iodine spike, the calculated doses should not exceed a small fraction of the above guideline values, i.e., 10 percent or 2.5 rem and 30 rem, respectively, for the whole-body and
