taff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear Indust"y and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington. D.C. 2%0. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA ETSB acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following regulations: 1. General Design Criterion 60 as it relates to the radioactive waste management systems being designed to control releases of radioactive materials to the environment. 2. 10 CFR Part 20 as it relates to radioactivity in effluents to unrestricted areas. Tanks and associated components containing radio- active liquids outside containment are acceptable if failure does not result in radionuclide concentrations in excess of the limits in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2, at the nearest potable water supply,* in an unrestricted area, or if special design features are provided to mitigate the effects of postulated failures for systems not meeting these limits. III. Review Procedures 1. The ETSB will select the tanks and components for which a failure is assumed based on the nuclide concentration and the total radioactive material content in the tank and its components that will result in the highest
