ioactivity and doses associated with liquid and gaseous effluents and solid wastes. SRP Section 12.3-12.4 addresses sources of radiation and external radiation exposures from buildings, storage tanks, radioactive waste storage areas, and from BWR turbine buildings. NUREG-0543 presents information and guidance in demonstrating compliance with the EPA standards. For OL and COL applicants with site-specific information on the locations of offsite dose receptors, compliance with the EPA standards requires consideration of whether doses due to gaseous and liquid effluent releases and external radiation are additive or need to be addressed separately given actual exposure pathways. The location of offsite dose receptors and the determination of actual exposure pathways should be based on the results of a current land use census for the site. If there is no site-specific information, the review should confirm that the applicant has assumed that all exposures occur at one location or in one sector in bounding dose estimates, where doses from liquid and gaseous effluent releases and external radiation are summed up and compared to the EPA standards. In such instances, the review should assess whether the applicant has made a commitment to reassess compliance with the EPA standards by appropriately assigning doses with actual exposure pathways once site-specific information becomes available on their locations within the vicinity of the site. 9. 10 CFR 50.65(a) requires the implementation of a program to monitor the effectiveness of maintenance of SSCs important to safety, including those that are relied upon to mitigate plant AOOs, transients, and accidents. In examining the applicant’s monitoring program, the review applies the guidance of RG 1.160 as it relates to the maintenance of PERMISS systems that are important to the protection of public health and safety. The evaluation of the maintenance program should consider systems that include radiation monitoring
