To achieve the goal of maintaining occupational and public doses both below regulatory limits and as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA), the operational radiation protection program and its implementation milestones are reviewed to ensure that the program is fully described and references any applicable standards. “Fully described” should be understood to mean that the program is clearly and sufficiently described in terms of the scope and level of detail to allow for a reasonable assurance finding of acceptability. 12.5-2 Draft Revision 5 – October 2012 The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. Organization A. The administrative organization of the radiation protection program, including the authority and responsibility of each position identified (CP PSAR and updates in the OL FSAR, or the COL FSAR). B. The experience and qualifications of the personnel responsible for conducting various aspects of the radiation protection program and for handling and monitoring radioactive material. Reference may be made to Safety Analysis Report (SAR) Chapter 13 as appropriate (OL FSAR or COL FSAR). C. Information describing the implementation of Regulatory Guides (RG) 1.8, 8.2, 8.8, and 8.10.
