ns for operating procedures related to radiological monitoring and surveillance equipment. Plant technical specifications related to radiological effluents are consolidated in the RETS. Generic Letter 89-01 allows procedural details and programmatic controls included in the RETS to be relocated to the ODCM or PCP. Nonetheless, requirements specified in § 50.36a apply to this SRP section because procedural details are crucial to the successful conduct of monitoring and surveillance. Meeting the requirements of § 50.36a provides assurance that the level of radiation in effluents from nuclear power plants will not exceed specified limits.58 4. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, provides numerical guides for the ALARA criterion for radioactive material in light-water-cooled nuclear power reactors. 10 CFR 50.34a and 10 CFR 50.36a contain provisions designed to ensure that releases of radioactive material from nuclear power reactors to unrestricted areas during normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, are kept as low as practicable. Appendix I provides numerical guidance for meeting that requirement. Meeting the requirements of the ALARA criterion provides assurance that offsite doses to any individual from normal operation and from anticipated operational occurrences will not result in exposures in excess of the numerical guides specified in Section II of Appendix I.59 5. Compliance with GDC 60 requires that the nuclear power plant design include mechanisms to control the release of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents and to handle radioactive solid wastes produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 11.5-9 DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 GDC 60 applies to SRP Section 11.5 because mechanisms to control the release of radioactive effluents must include, among other components, equipment and related operating procedures to provide monitoring, sampling, and surveillance of effluent streams that may
