er 16, Section 5.5, Programs and Manuals, as adopted from standard technical specifications (NUREG-1430, NUREG-1431, NUREG-1432, NUREG-1433, and NUREG-1434). 9. 10 CFR 20.1301(e) requires that certain NRC-licensed facilities comply with the EPA generally applicable environmental radiation standards of 40 CFR Part 190 for facilities that are part of the fuel cycle. The EPA annual dose limits are 0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to the whole body, 0.75 mSv (75 mrem) to the thyroid, and 0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to any other organ. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1301(e) requires the consideration of all potential sources of external radiation and radioactivity, including liquid and gaseous effluents and external radiation exposures from buildings, storage tanks, radioactive waste storage areas, and N-16 skyshine from BWR turbine buildings. The EPA standards apply to the entire site or facility, whether it has single or multiple reactor units. SRP Sections 11.2 and 11.4, address the sources of radioactivity and doses associated with liquid effluents and solid wastes, respectively. SRP Section 12.3-12.4 addresses the sources of radiation and external radiation exposures from buildings, storage tanks, radioactive waste storage areas, and N-16 skyshine from BWR turbine buildings. For OL and COL applicants with site-specific information on the locations of offsite dose receptors, compliance with the EPA standards should include consideration of whether doses due to gaseous and liquid effluent releases and external radiation are additive or 11.3-21 Draft Revision 4 – August 2014 need to be addressed separately given actual exposure pathways. The location of offsite dose receptors and the determination of actual exposure pathways should be based on the results of a current land use census for the site. If there is no site-specific information, the applicant may assume that all exposures occur at one location or in one sector in bounding dose estimates, where doses from liquid and gaseous
