ry Guide 1.143. 4. ETSB SPLB will accept system designs that contain provisions to control leakage and facilitate operation and maintenance in accordance with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.143. Technical Rationale36 The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to reviewing the liquid radwaste treatment system is discussed in the following paragraphs:37 1. 10 CFR Part 20, § 1302, requires that surveys of radiation levels in unrestricted areas and radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas be performed to demonstrate system compliance with the dose limits to individual members of the public, as specified in 10 CFR Part 20, § 20.1301. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 11.2-6 10 CFR Part 20, § 20.1302, identifies two approaches, either of which can demonstrate compliance with the dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20, § 1301. The requirements for one of these approaches are as follows: 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 above requirements provides assurance that the dose limits to individual members of the public specified in 10 CFR Part 20, § 1301, will not be exceeded. Meeting the requirement on doses identified above will be reviewed by PERB as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 12.1. Meeting the requirement on liquid effluent concentration limits in unrestricted areas is identified as an acceptance criterion in this SRP section.38 2. Acceptance Criterion II.2 gives the technical rationale for 10 CFR Part 50, § 50.34a, requirement. Meeting the requirement of
