Content:
in provisions designed to ensure that releases of radioactive materials, as liquid and gaseous effluents, from nuclear power reactors to unrestricted areas during normal operation, including AOOs, are ALARA. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I provides specific numerical criteria and guidance for meeting this requirement. The review conducted in this SRP section, with supporting information from SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4, evaluates the methods and results used to demonstrate compliance with these requirements using NRC and industry guidance in developing operational programs. Meeting the above noted guidance provides reasonable assurance that the ALARA criterion will be met and that offsite doses to any individual from normal operations and AOOs will not result in exposures in excess of the numerical guides specified in Section II of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. 5. Compliance with GDC 60 requires that the nuclear power plant design include mechanisms to control the release of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents and to handle radioactive solid wastes produced during normal reactor operation and AOOs. The guidance of SRP Section 11.5 applies to GDC 60 because mechanisms to control the release of radioactive effluents must include, among other components, equipment and related operating procedures to monitor, sample, and conduct surveillance of effluent streams containing radioactive materials. RG 1.143 provides guidance in assigning safety classifications to RWMS with PERMISS interfaces against natural phenomena and man-induced hazards. The review conducted in this SRP section, with supporting information from SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4, evaluates the methods 11.5-25 Revision 6 – January 2016 and results used to demonstrate compliance with these requirements using NRC and industry guidance in developing operational programs. Meeting the guidance of SRP Section 11.5 and RG 1.143 provides reasonable assurance that the requirements of GDC 60
