idelines, and guidance of RG 1.29 and RG 1.45. Additional guidance is given in RIS 2009-02 (Revision 1) and IN 2005-24, as they relate to detection sensitivities and types of detection methods used in demonstrating conformance with SRP Chapter 16 and TS 16.3.4. The associated TS are presented in NUREG-1430, NUREG-1431, NUREG-1432, NUREG-1433, and NUREG-1434. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 11.5-23 Revision 6 – January 2016 1. 10 CFR 20.1302 specifies, in part, that licensees conduct surveys of radiation levels in unrestricted and controlled areas and sample and analyze radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted and controlled areas to demonstrate compliance with dose limits for members of the public in 10 CFR 20.1301. 10 CFR 20.1302 relates to the manner in which compliance with dose limits to individual members of the public will be achieved. This section specifies that surveys of radiation levels are conducted to demonstrate compliance with the dose limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1301. In addition, 10 CFR 20.1501 requires that surveys be conducted to demonstrate compliance with the regulations of 10 CFR Part 20. These surveys use the equipment that constitutes the process and effluent radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling systems. RG 1.21, RG 1.33, RG 1.151, and RG 4.15, as well as industry standards (i.e., ANSI N42.18-2004, “Specification and Performance of On-Site Instrumentation for Continuously Monitoring Radioactivity in Effluents,” issued 2004, and ANSI/HPS N13.1-2011) provide additional guidance on measuring, evaluating, and reporting the results of radiological surveys. Meeting the above noted NRC and industry guidance provides reasonable assurance that the dose limits to individual members of the public specified in 10 CFR 20.1301 and 10 CFR 20.1301(e) will not be
