ppendix B to 10 CFR Part 20. 7. The source terms result in meeting the design objectives for doses in unrestricted areas as set forth in Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. 11.1-5 Revision 3 - March 2007 8. For evaluating the source terms, the applicant should provide the relevant information in the SAR as required by 10 CFR 50.34, and 10 CFR 50.34a. This technical information should include all the basic data listed in Appendix A (BWRs) and Appendix B (PWRs) to Regulatory Guide 1.112 in order to calculate the releases of radioactive material in liquid and gaseous effluents (the source terms). An acceptable method for satisfying the criteria given in items 1 through 5 consists of using the Gaseous and Liquid Effluent (GALE) Computer Code and the source term parameters given in NUREG-0016 or NUREG-0017 for BWRs and PWRs, respectively. Complete listings of the GALE Computer Codes for BWRs and PWRs are given in NUREG-0016 and NUREG-0017, respectively. 9. If the applicant’s calculational technique or any source term parameter differs from that given in ANSI/ANS 18.1-1999, NUREG-0016, or NUREG-0017, they should be described in detail and the bases for the methods and/or parameters used should be provided. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria is to determine the coolant source term as a precursor to calculating radioactivity in effluents. In addition, the technical rationale for application of the acceptance criteria for reviewing the radwaste treatment system is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, provides numerical guidance on offsite individual doses and air doses due to effluents. It also provides an acceptance criterion for cost-benefit analysis as it relates to population doses due to liquid and gaseous effluents (Section II.D of Appendix I). Conformance with Section II.D of Appendix I demonstrates that the plant design includes all items of established modern technology for reducing
