Content:
to compliance with 10 CFR 20, including any measures necessary to achieve compliance ` estimates of the annual collective dose to the construction force by year of construction, a brief discussion of how the estimates were made, and the reviewer’s conclusions with respect to the accuracy of the dose commitment estimates. When the reviewer has determined that the predicted collective dose is realistic and accurate and that the requirements for protecting construction workers from radiation exposure are being met according to 10 CFR 20, the following statement should be used: The staff reviewed the available information relative to the radiological impacts to construction workers. The staff concludes that the predicted individual doses are realistic, accurate, and within the limits specified in 10 CFR 20. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
