r group (e.g., plant health physicist and staff)] periodically reviews, updates, and modifies as appropriate plant design features and changes, as well as all operating and maintenance features, using exposure data and experience gained from operating nuclear power plants to ensure that occupational exposures will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable in accordance with RG 8.8 guidance. 3. The objective of the plant radiation protection design is to maintain individual doses and total person-Sievert (person-rem) doses to plant workers, including construction workers, and to members of the general public as low as is reasonably achievable, and to maintain individual doses within the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The staff’s review considered all plant sources of direct radiation and airborne radioactive contamination within restricted areas. 4. [Utility/Applicant/Certified Design Vendor] will incorporate the following facility and equipment design considerations at [plant/design name] to satisfy the radiation protection design objectives listed above. [List several design considerations used.] These design considerations conform with the guidelines of RG 8.8 and are acceptable. 5. Operating and maintenance personnel follow specific plans and procedures to ensure that goals related to keeping exposures as low as is reasonably achievable are achieved in the operation of the plant. Engineering controls for the protection of personnel have been optimized. Operations involving high person-Sievert (person-rem) exposures will be carefully preplanned and carried out by personnel who are well trained in radiation protection and are using proper equipment. During such maintenance activities, personnel are monitored for exposure to radiation and contamination. Their radiation exposures are reviewed and are used to make changes in future job procedures and techniques. The management staff will review radiation exposure trends periodically to determine major changes in problem
