provided and that the review is adequate to support conclusions of the following type, to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The staff concludes that the design of the gaseous waste management systems is acceptable and meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, §20.106, 10 CFR Part 50, §50.34a, General Design Criteria 3, 60, and 61, and 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 60 and 61 with respect to controlling releases of radioactive material to the environment by assuring that the design of the gaseous waste management systems include the equipment and instruments necessary to detect and to control the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of Appendix I of 10 CFR Part 50 by meeting "as low as is reasonably achievable" criterion as follows: a. Regarding Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I we have considered releases of radioactive material (noble gases, radiolodine and particulates) in gaseous effluents for normal operation including anticipated operational occurrences based on expected radwaste inputs over the life of the plant for each reactor on the _ ) site. We have determined that the proposed gaseous waste management systems are capable of maintaining releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents such that the calculated individual doses in an unrestricted area from all pathways of exposure are less than 5 mrem to the total body or 15 mrem to the skin and less than 15 mrem to any organ from releases of radioiodine and radioactive material in particulate form. b. Regarding Section II.D of Appendix I we have considered the potential effectiveness of augmenting the proposed gaseous waste management systems using items of reasonably demonstrated technology and have determined that further effluent treatment will not effect reductions in the cumulative population dose within a 50-mile radius of
