Content:
the environment will not result from transportation or waste disposal activities and that doses to members of the public will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. 6. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 establishes quality assurance requirements for the operation of a nuclear power plant. Guidance is provided by RG 1.33. The procedures implemented to ensure the quality of the radiation protection program safety-related activities identified in RG 1.33, as well as the required periodic review of the content and implementation of the radiation protection program, are integral to SRP section 12.5. A quality assurance program satisfies the quality assurance requirements in 10 CFR 71.101 if it meets the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and is established, maintained, and executed to address the transportation of radioactive materials. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. The organizational position, functional responsibilities, experience, and qualifications of personnel responsible for the radiation protection program. The plant organization, functional responsibilities, and qualifications of personnel are the primary responsibility of the quality and maintenance section and the operator licensing and human performance section, and they are reviewed under SRP Chapter 13. The reviewer evaluates the radiation protection organization, function, and personnel qualifications in accordance with RGs 1.8 and 8.8. 2. The equipment necessary to measure radioactivity as well as radiation fields and exposures—including the number, type, range,
