levant aspects of the initial design plans, particularly to identify new arrangements, improved designs, unusual shield thicknesses, a new or modified shield thickness calculational procedure, unusual assumptions in the calculation, and placement of radiation monitors. RABPERB evaluates the adequacy of the applicant's shielding design on the basis of acceptable 82 radiation shielding codes. RABPERB may make verifying check calculations with SDC, G , 83 3 QAD, or MORSE, whichever is specifically applicable to the situation. For the FSAR the reviewer considers any changes in the design that might necessitate changes in operating procedures to accommodate a changed radiation zone or a different location of equipment. The reviewer determines whether the applicant has followed the guidance of the referenced regulatory guides and industry standards, both by comparison of the applicant's methods with the information in the guides and by the applicant's reference to any such guides or to proposed alternatives. The reviewer evaluates whether the alternatives are equivalent to, or improvements on, the methods cited in the referenced regulatory guides. Otherwise, alternatives are likely to be disapproved. Based on the review, RABPERB may request additional information or request the applicant to 84 reevaluate the radiation protection design features to meet the acceptance criteria of subsection II of this SRP. For standard design certification reviews under 10 CFR Part 52, the procedures above should be followed, as modified by the procedures in SRP Section 14.3 (proposed), to verify that the design set forth in the standard safety analysis report, including inspections, tests, analysis, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), site interface requirements and combined license action items, meet the acceptance criteria given in subsection II. SRP Section 14.3 (proposed) contains procedures for the review of certified design material (CDM) for the standard design, including the site
