handle radioactive solid wastes produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 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 contain radioactive materials. Regulatory Guide 1.143 includes guidance on the design of radioactive waste management SSCs. Meeting the requirements of GDC 60 provides reasonable assurance that releases of radioactive materials during normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences will not result in offsite radiation doses that exceed the limits and design objectives specified in the regulations. The review conducted in this SRP section, with supporting information drawn from SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4, evaluates the method used to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. 6. Compliance with GDC 63 and 64 requires installation of systems to (1) monitor radioactive waste facilities for excessive radiation levels and (2) survey radioactive effluent discharge paths and the plant environs for radioactivity released during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and postulated accidents. GDC 63 and 64 relate directly to SRP Section 11.5 because they focus on monitoring radiation levels within the plant, as well as radioactivity levels in effluent streams and the plant environs, during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and postulated accidents. The requirements specified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xvii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) are consistent with the requirements of GDC 64. Regulatory Guides 1.21, 1.33, and 4.15 provide guidance on radiological monitoring programs for normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences, while ANSI N42.18-2004 and ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 provide guidance on the selection and use of continuous radiation
