Content:
ividuals resulting from potential effluent releases from the plant is discussed in the following paragraph: The basis for determining whether an applicant’s radioactive waste management system meets the design criteria in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, consists of analyzing the dose to the public from the releases from the reactor. This evaluation is based on determining the annual maximum individual dose to a member of the public in the vicinity of the reactor and comparing it against the Appendix I design criteria. In addition, the individual doses from direct radiation sources are added to the doses from effluent releases for all units at the site and are compared with the 40 CFR 190 limits (as referenced in 10 CFR 20.1301(d)). These doses, along with the estimated annual releases from the reactor, are compared against the design criteria. The determination of exposure pathways from ESRP 5.4.1 and doses from ESRP 5.4.2 provide input to this evaluation. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The analysis of radiological impacts to individuals should be based on the dose estimates prepared by the reviewer for ESRP 5.4.2 that have been evaluated by the reviewer for ESRP 3.5 and determined to be within the design objective guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The reviewer should take the following steps when analyzing radiological impacts. (1) Prepare a table that compares these doses, on a per-unit (individual reactor) basis, with the Appendix I design objectives, using the format shown in Table 5.4.3-1. (2) Determine the 80-km (50-mi) collective total body doses per reactor unit for liquid effluents, noble- gas effluents, and radioiodines and particulates, and compare these doses to the natural radiation background for this population. (3) Include an estimate of the collective occupational dose using the format of Table 5.4.3-2. (4) Consult with the reviewers for ESRPs 3.5 and 5.4.2 to verify the accuracy and completeness of the summary table based on Table 5.4.3-1. (5) Verify the
