the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR 20, Subpart D, with respect to demonstrating compliance with dose limits for individual members of the public. 10 CFR Part 20 is not applicable for ESP applications. 2.3.5-3 Revision 3 - March 2007 2. 10 CFR 50.34a and Sections II.B, II.C and II.D of Appendix I of 10 CFR Part 50 (Ref. 3) with respect to the numerical guides for design objectives and limiting conditions for operation to meet the requirements that radioactive material in effluents released to unrestricted areas be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. 3. 10 CFR 100.21(c)(2) with respect to establishing atmospheric dispersion site characteristics such that radiological effluent release limits associated with normal operation can be met for any individual located offsite. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC's regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC's regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Appropriate sections of the following Regulatory Guides are used by the staff for the identified acceptance criteria. Regulatory Guide 1.23 presents criteria for an acceptable onsite meteorological monitoring program and the resulting meteorological database that may be used in this SRP section as input to the atmospheric dispersion estimates. Regulatory Guide 1.109 presents criteria to be used for identifying specific locations of potential receptors of interest. Regulatory Guide 1.111 presents criteria for characterizing atmospheric dispersion and deposition
