.4, until the reviewer concludes that the doses calculated from the source terms are consistent with the design objectives in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. At this point, you may conclude that the pro- posed radioactive waste management and effluent control systems have the capability to control and maintain releases of radioactive materials in effluents to meet the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 and the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34a. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS This evaluation applies to applications for construction permits and operating licenses. When the reviewer has concluded that the proposed radioactive waste management and effluent control systems meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34a, the following input to the EIS should be used: To meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34a, an applicant for a nuclear power reactor construction permit is required to include a preliminary description of the design of equipment that will be installed to keep levels of radioactive material in effluents to unrestricted areas ALARA. That phrase takes into account the state of technology and the economics of improvement in relation to benefits to the public health and safety and other societal and socioeconomic considerations and in relation to the use of nuclear energy in the public interest. Numerical guidance on design objectives for light-water-cooled nuclear power reactors is provided in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, to meet the requirement that radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas be kept ALARA. NUREG-1555 3.5-6 October 1999 To meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34a, the staff found acceptable the preliminary designs of radwaste systems and effluent control measures provided by the applicant for keeping levels of radioactive materials in effluents to unrestricted areas ALARA within the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. In addition, the staff reviewed and found reasonable the estimate provided by the applicant of the quantity of each principal
