Alternatives will be 48 evaluated on the basis of a comparison with the referenced regulatory guides. B. Equipment, Instrumentation, and Facilities Acceptance will be based on a determination that: 12.5-9 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 1. The radiochemistry laboratory is equipped to perform routine analyses required for personnel protection, surveys, and related radiation protection functions, in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.201§20.1501 . 49 2. The counting room (low background) has the necessary instrumentation to perform routine counting on all plant radioactivity samples (water, air, swipes, etc.) in conformance with 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.201§20.1501 , and 50 General Design Criterion 64. Counting room equipment normally includes the following: (a) Multi-channel gamma pulse height analyzer. (b) Low background alpha-beta proportional counter and gamma and alpha-beta scintillation counters. (c) End window G-M type counter. 3. Portable instruments for measuring radiation or radioactivity in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.201§20.1501 normally include: 51 (a) Low and high range ion chamber rate meters (see Regulatory Guide 1.97 for ranges). (b) Portable G-M counters. (c) Alpha scintillation or proportional counter rate meters. (d) Neutron dose equivalent rate meters. (e) Air samplers for use with particulate filters and iodine collection devices (such as charcoal cartridges or equivalent filters) and airborne radioactivity monitors. (f) High range
