atment methods; expected decontamination factors or removal efficiencies and holdup or decay times; and points of release of gaseous effluents to the environment. This information is used to calculate the quantity of radioactive materials (noble gases, radioiodines, tritium, carbon-14, and particulates) released annually in gaseous effluents during normal operations, including anticipated operational occurrences, using the given parameters and calculational techniques of NUREG-0016 or NUREG-0017 and Regulatory Guide 1.112. The results of this calculation will determine whether the proposed GWMS design meets the acceptance criterion of SRP Acceptance Criteria 1 of this SRP section and relevant sections of SRP Section 11.1. Compliance with the acceptance criteria of SRP Acceptance Criteria 1.A, 1.B, and 1.C of this SRP section concerning exposures of the total body, skin, and thyroid will be determined based on dose and source term calculations performed by NRC staff using NUREG-0016 or NUREG-0017, Regulatory Guide 1.112, and NUREG/CR-4653 (GASPAR II code). The NRC staff will determine conformance with the acceptance criterion given in SRP Acceptance Criteria 1.D of this SRP Section, concerning the cost-benefit analysis based on an analysis that includes population cumulative dose calculations (person-Sv (person-rem)) and cost-benefit studies. Regulatory Guide 1.110 describes methods for performing such cost-benefit analyses. 11.3-14 Revision 3 - March 2007 2. The review of the GWMS design capacity will encompass the following major areas: A. The capability of the GRS to process gaseous wastes in the event of a single major equipment item failure. For nonredundant equipment or components, a 3-week downtime every other year will be assumed (10 days per year average). B. The capability of the GRS to process gaseous wastes at design-basis fission product levels (i.e., from 1 percent of the fuel-producing power in a PWR or in a BWR, consistent with a noble gas release
