leased to the environment provide crucial information for establishing controls over these effluents. As described in this SRP section, 10 CFR 50.34a specifies the equipment used to monitor and survey effluents. RG 1.143 provides additional guidance on radioactive waste management SSCs. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34a provides reasonable assurance that the level of radiation in effluents from nuclear power plants will meet the ALARA criterion and dose objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The review conducted in this SRP section, with supporting information from SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4, evaluates the method used to demonstrated compliance with these requirements. 3. 10 CFR 50.36a specifies, in part, that licenses for nuclear power reactors will include TS requiring that operating procedures be developed for the equipment specified in this regulation. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.36a, licensees must include TS (as TS and SREC) as part of the operating procedures related to radiological monitoring and sampling equipment and as part of the requirements for administrative controls and surveillance. The ODCM or PCP consolidate the plant’s TS and related radiological effluent controls, as stated in Generic Letter 89-01 and NUREG-1301 for PWRs and NUREG-1302 for BWRs. 11.5-14 Revision 5 - May 2010 Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a provides reasonable assurance that the levels of radioactivity in effluents from nuclear power plants will meet the ALARA criterion and result in doses to members of the public that are a small fraction of the 10 CFR 20.1301 limits. The review conducted in this SRP section, with supporting information from SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4, evaluates the method used to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. 4. Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 provides numerical guides for the ALARA criterion for radioactive materials released by light-water-cooled nuclear power reactors. 10 CFR 50.34a and 10 CFR 50.36a
