irect radiation from an independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSI) or Monitored Retrievable Storage Facilities (MRS),” incorporates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards in 40 CFR Part 190, “Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations” (Ref. 7), and 40 CFR Part 191, “Environmental Radiation DG-4019, Page 3 Protection Standards for Management and Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level and Transuranic Radioactive Waste” (Ref. 8). • 40 CFR Part 190 (10 CFR 20.1301(e) requires that NRC licensees subject to the standards set forth in 40 CFR Part 190 shall comply with those standards) o 40 CFR 190.10, “Standards for formal operations,” establishes the EPA standards for the annual dose equivalent not to exceed 25 millirem (mrem) (0.25 millisievert (mSv)) to the whole body, 75 mrem (0.75 mSv) to the thyroid, and 25 mrem (0.25 mSv) to any other organ. Related Guidance • RG 4.1, “Radiological Environment Monitoring for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 9), provides guidance on for use in establishing and conducting a comprehensive environmental monitoring program at nuclear power plants. • NUREG-1301, “Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Guidance: Standard Radiological Effluent Controls for Pressurized Water Reactors” (Ref. 10), provides guidance on standard radiological effluent controls for pressurized water reactors. • NUREG-1302, “Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Guidance: Standard Radiological Effluent Controls for Boiling Water Reactors” Generic Letter 89-01, Supplement No. 1 (Ref. 11), provides guidance on standard radiological effluent controls for boiling water reactors. • RG 1.21, “Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive Material in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste” (Ref. 12), provides guidance on (1) measuring, evaluating, and reporting plant-related radioactivity (excluding background radiation) in effluents and solid radioactive waste shipments from
