ssure that operating characteristics can be appropriately evaluated. Specific criteria necessary to meet the Commission's regulations, regulatory guides, and industry standards identified above are as follows: 12.5-6 Rev. 2 - July 1981 A. Organization Acceptance will be based on a determination that the organization described, along with the duties, qualifications, and training of the individuals responsible for assuring that ORE will be ALARA are in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.1(c), Regulatory Guides 1.8, 8.2, 8.8, and 8.10, and 10 CFR Part 19, Section 19.12, and within the limits of 10 CFR Part 20, Sections 20.101, 20.103, and 20.105, tUREG-0731 and NUREG-0761. Alternatives will be evaluated on the basis of a comparison with the referenced regulatory guides. B. Equipment, Instrumentation, and Facilities Acceptance will be based on a determination that: i 1. The radiochemistry laboratory is equipped to perform routine analyses required for personnel protection, surveys, and related radiation protection functions, in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.201. 2. The counting room (low background) has the necessary instrumentation to perform routine counting on all plant radioactivity samples (water, air, swipes, etc.) in conformance with 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.201, and General Design Criterion 64. Counting room equipment normally includes the following: (a) Multi-channel gamma pulse height analyzer. (b) Low background alpha-beta proportional counter and gamma and alpha-beta scintillation counters. (c) End window G-M type counter. 3. Portable instruments for measuring radiation or radioactivity in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.201 normally include: I (a) Low and high range ion chamber rate meters (see Regulatory Guide 1.97 for ranges). (b) Portable G-M counters. (c) Alpha scintillation or proportional counter rate meters. (d) Neutron dose equivalent rate meters. (e) Air samplers for use with particulate filters and iodine collec-
