Content:
oactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas be performed to demonstrate system compliance with the dose limits to individual members of the public contained in 10 CFR 20.1301. 10 CFR 20.1302 identifies two approaches, either of which can demonstrate compliance with the dose limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 and 10 CFR 20.1301(e). Each one of these approaches requires a demonstration of the following: A. That the annual average concentrations of radioactive materials released in gaseous and liquid effluents at the boundary of the unrestricted area do not exceed the values specified in Table 2, Column 1, and Note 4 of Appendix B, to 10 CFR Part 20. B. That the annual and hourly doses from external sources to an individual continuously present in an unrestricted area will not exceed 0.5 mSv (0.05 rem) and 0.02 mSv (0.002 rem), respectively. 11.3-17 Draft Revision 4 – August 2014 Meeting the above requirements provides reasonable assurance that the dose limits to individual members of the public specified in 10 CFR 20.1301 will not be exceeded. The review detailed in this SRP section will evaluate the ability of the system to meet the dose requirements identified above. SRP Section 11.2 identifies compliance with the limits on gaseous effluent concentrations in unrestricted areas as an acceptance criterion; consequently, the ability of a facility to meet this criterion will be evaluated and using the guidance in SRP Section 11.3. In calculating offsite gaseous effluent concentrations and doses to members of the public, the acceptability of the proposed short- and long-term atmospheric dispersion and deposition parameters is reviewed using the guidance in SRP Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5. 2. 10 CFR 20.1406 requires that applicants describe how facility design and procedures for operation will minimize, to the extent practicable, contamination of the facility and the environment; facilitate eventual decommissioning; and minimize, to the extent practicable, the
