section) (Ref. 11), and Regulatory 48 49 Guide 1.97 (Position C and Table 1 or Table 2, as applicable) (Ref. 3).50 5. Provisions should be made for the instrumented monitoring or sampling and analysis of identified liquid effluent paths in the event of a postulated accident. To meet Criterion GDC 64 and the requirements specified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(vxii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(vxxii), as it relatesthey relate to postulated accidents and identified liquid 51 52 effluent paths, the design of plant liquid waste collection and processing streams should meet the guidelines referenced in SRP Sections 9.3.3 and 11.2 and, in addition, the following conditions should be met: a. Administrative controls and procedures in conformance with subsection II.3 of this SRP section are to be in effect to minimize inadvertent or accidental releases of radioactive liquids; and b. Liquid effluent radiological monitors are to be provided for the automatic termination of releases in the event that effluent setpoints, as provided in subsection II.1 of this SRP section and as established in the plant technical specifications RETS, ODCM, and/or PCP, are exceeded. 53 Technical Rationale54 The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria is discussed in the following paragraphs:55 1. 10 CFR 20.1302 specifies, in part, that the licensee shall conduct surveys of radiation levels in unrestricted and controlled areas and radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted and controlled areas to demonstrate compliance with radioactive dose limits for members of the public. Section 20.1302 relates to the manner in which compliance with dose limits to individual members of the public will be achieved. The section specifies that surveys of radiation levels are to be taken to demonstrate compliance with the dose limits specified in § 20.1301. These surveys are conducted with the equipment that constitutes the radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling systems.
