REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Effluent Treatment Systems Branch (ETSB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW At the construction permit (CP) stage of review, ETSB reviews the information in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) on the sources of radioactivity that 1 are input to the radioactive waste management systems for treatment of liquid and gaseous wastes. At the operating license (OL) stage of review, ETSB review consists of confirming the information accepted at the CP stage. 1. ETSB review of radioactive source terms includes consideration of parameters used to determine the concentration of each isotope in the reactor coolant; fraction of fission product activity released to the reactor coolant; concen- trations of all nonfission product radioactive isotopes in the reactor coolant; leakage rates and associated fluid activity for all potentially radioactive water and steam systems; and potential sources of radioactive materials in effluents that are not considered in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) Section 11.2, "Liquid Waste Management Systems," and SAR Section 11.3, ."Gaseous Waste Management Systems." The following sources are considered in the evaluation of effluent releases: a. Boiling water reactor (BWR) gaseous wastes (noble gases, radioiodine, and particulates, carbon-14 and tritium), consisting of offgases from the main condenser evacuation and turbine gland sealing systems, steam and liquid leakage to containment, radwaste, turbine, fuel handling and auxiliary buildings, and ventilation system exhausts from buildings having the potential for containing radioactive materials. b. BWR liquid wastes, consisting of leakage to equipment and floor drains from buildings housing equipment and components that may contain radio- active fluids; contaminated liquids produced by plant operations, such Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor
