he environment and to identify potential physical and biological sites of radionuclide accumulation. - The program should establish the baseline from which correlations between levels of radiation and radioactivity in the environment and radioactive releases from plant operation may be made. ` The monitoring program should include a documented quality assurance program. (3) Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 5.4.1 to identify the significant pathways of radiological impact to man and biota, e.g., food, recreational use, water use. (4) Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 3.5 to determine the locations of effluent release points and orientation of the plant and any radioactive material storage locations. (5) Consult with the reviewers for ESRPs 2.3.1, 2.3.2, and 2.7 to analyze the relationship between the proposed (or actual) effluent release point locations and the proposed (or actual) water and air sampling locations from the standpoint of detection of potential (or actual) buildup of radioactive October 1999 6.2-5 NUREG-1555 materials from effluents. Use the site visit to observe the location of proposed (or actual) sampling and measuring locations relative to potential (or actual) radiological impact pathways. (6) Determine whether sufficient and adequate information has been provided to analyze and evaluate the proposed radiological environmental monitoring program and, if it has, whether the proposed program will accomplish the stated goals and objectives. (7) Consult with the reviewers for ESRP 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 to verify that ground and surface-water sampling points are located to best detect potential (or actual) concentrations of radioactive materials associated with liquid effluents. (8) Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 2.7 to verify that air monitoring and sample points are located to best detect potential (or actual) concentrations of radioactive materials from airborne effluents. Determine whether sampling frequency and duration, sample size, and lower
