hnical Rationale27 The technical rationale for application of the above acceptance criteria to the SWMS is discussed in the following paragraphs.28 1. 10 CFR 20.1302 requires that surveys of radiation levels in unrestricted areas be performed to demonstrate system compliance with the dose limits to individual members of the public contained in 10 CFR 20.1301. 10 CFR 20.1302 identifies two approaches either of which can demonstrate compliance with the dose limits of 10 CFR 20.1301. The requirements for one of these approaches are the following: a. Demonstrate that the annual average concentrations of radioactive material released in gaseous and liquid effluents at the boundary of the unrestricted area do not exceed the effluent concentration limits specified in Table 2 of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 20; and b. Demonstrate that the annual and hourly doses from external sources to an individual continuously present in an unrestricted area will not exceed 0.5 mSv (0.05 rem) and 0.02 mSv (0.002 rem) respectively. Meeting the requirements on gaseous and liquid effluent concentrations in unrestricted areas resulting from SWMS operation is identified as an acceptance criterion in this SRP section. Compliance with the offsite dose requirements identified above will be verified by PERB as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 12.1. Meeting both requirements provides assurance that the dose limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1301, for individual members of the public will not be exceeded.29 2. Acceptance Criterion II.B gives the technical rationale for 10 CFR Part 50, § 50.34a, requirement. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, § 50.34a, as it relates to adequate design information on SWMS provides a level of assurance that the SWMS will have necessary equipment and design features to control releases of radioactive effluents to the environment resulting from its operation, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1302 and GDC 61.30 3. 10 CFR Part
