and gases that may be released during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and accidents. SRP Section 12.5 covers the administrative controls that encompass the radiation protection program. GDC 64 applies to SRP Section 12.5 because one part of the program is monitoring and surveillance of radiation areas during normal operation, during anticipated operational occurrences, and following accidental releases of radioactive materials. Meeting the requirements of GDC 64 will provide a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials to the environment will be detected and that resultant exposures will be ALARA and will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. 5. 10 CFR Part 71 contains requirements for packaging and transporting licensed radioactive materials. These requirements apply to the transportation of radioactive wastes as well as the transportation of activated, or contaminated, components or equipment transferred during the operation and maintenance of the plant. Additional requirements in Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 20 apply to the transfer of radioactive wastes for land disposal. The scope of 10 CFR Part 20 and SRP Section 12.5 includes the transfer of radioactive materials. Although the programmatic requirements in 10 CFR Part 71 extend beyond monitoring and radiation surveys, they are provided to ensure that the transportation of licensed radioactive materials off site does not result in unnecessary or inadvertent exposures to members of the public and that an uncontrolled release of such material does not occur. 12.5-16 Revision 4 - May 2010 Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 71.5, in addition to the requirements in Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 20, will provide a level of assurance that releases of radioactive materials to the environment will not result from transportation or waste disposal activities and that doses to members of the public will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. 6.
