REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of the effectiveness of radwaste systems and health physics in meeting effluent concentration limits in unrestricted areas and dose limits for members of the public. Secondary - Organization responsible for the review of the radwaste system design features, system capacities, and performance in processing and treating liquid waste streams before being discharged to the environment. I. AREAS OF REVIEW For a review of an application for an early site permit (ESP), construction permit (CP), standard design certification (DC), or a combined license (COL) that does not reference a DC, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviews the information in the applicant’s Safety Analysis Report (Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) or Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)) as it relates to the sources of radioactivity that are processed by the liquid waste management system (LWMS). For operating licenses (OL) or COLs that reference a DC, the staff confirms that the information accepted at the CP or standard DC stage is appropriately incorporated in the relevant sections of OL or COL applications, and that proposed departures are adequately justified and documented. 11.2-2 Revision 5 – January 2016 This Standard Review Plan (SRP) section addresses the evaluation of plant systems used to manage and treat process and effluent streams before being released from pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs). The staff’s evaluation assesses whether an applicant demonstrates compliance with regulatory limits on liquid effluent discharges and associated doses to members of the public in ensuring that releases and doses are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). In PWRs and BWRs, the LWMS is designed to ensure that liquids and liquid wastes produced during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs), are handled, processed, stored, and
