ese systems to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20, Subparts D and K; 10 CFR 50, Appendix I; and 10 CFR 20.1301(d) should be presented in the staff’s safety evaluation report (SER). The SER should be prepared before the environmental review, and the schedules for SER analysis, evaluation, and conclusions should be compatible with the environmental review schedules. No additional analysis should be needed, and the reviewer should proceed to the Evaluation Findings section of this ESRP. When the environmental review precedes the SER, the following analysis should be performed to the level of detail necessary to support the staff input to the environmental impact statement (EIS). The reviewer should make full use of data available from any safety review activity relative to design and performance of the radioactive waste management and effluent control systems. The reviewer should analyze the proposed radioactive waste management and effluent control systems, process and instrumentation diagrams, and system process flow diagrams to determine sources of waste, points of collection of waste, flow paths through the systems (including all bypasses), the treatment provided, and the points of release of effluents to the environment. Using this information, the reviewer should calculate the quantity of radioactive materials released annually in effluents (source term) during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. The reviewer should use the parameters and calculational techniques described in NUREG-0016 or NUREG-0017, as appropriate, to make these calculations. If the applicant has provided a source term that is consistent with these parameters and calculational techniques, the reviewer should accept it and should not perform a separate calculation. The results of this analysis should be provided to the reviewer for ESRP 5.4 for calculation of the maximum individual and population doses expected to result from these effluent quantities.
