tory Commission comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) generally applicable environmental radiation standards of 40 CFR Part 190 for facilities that are part of the fuel cycle. The EPA annual dose limits are 0.25 millisievert (mSv) (25 millirem (mrem)) to the whole body, 0.75 mSv (75 mrem) to the thyroid, and 0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to any other organ. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1301(e) requires the consideration of all potential sources of external radiation and radioactivity, including liquid and gaseous effluents, external radiation exposures from buildings, storage tanks, radioactive waste 11.5-13 Revision 4 - March 2007 storage areas, and N-16 skyshine from BWR turbine buildings. The EPA standards apply to the entire site or facility, which may have either single or multiple units. SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4 address sources of radioactivity and doses associated with liquid and gaseous effluents and solid wastes. SRP Section 12.3-12.4 addresses sources of radiation and external radiation exposures from buildings, storage tanks, radioactive waste storage areas, and N-16 skyshine from BWR turbine buildings. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. The information describing the design features of the PERMISS provided in the SAR, the DC application, the update of the final safety analysis report, or the COL application to the extent not addressed in a referenced certified design, including referenced sections of SRP Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, and 12.3-12.4, is reviewed for completeness in accordance with Regulatory
