ating and documenting changes to the ODCM and its supporting procedures. The review of the ODCM may be conducted as part of the review of SRP Section 11.4, depending on where the applicant has located the procedural details and programmatic controls of the ODCM in the PCP, given the provisions of Generic Letter 89-01 and NUREG-1301 or NUREG-1302. C. REMP—The REMP is reviewed to determine whether the program provides the means to monitor and quantify radiation and radioactivity levels in the environs of the plant associated with gaseous and liquid effluent releases and the direct external radiation from contained sources of radioactive materials in tanks and equipment and in buildings. The REMP demonstrates compliance with the regulatory requirements and guidance noted above. The procedural details and programmatic elements of the REMP should be based on the guidance of NUREG-1301 or NUREG-1302, Radiological Assessment BTP (Revision 1, November 1979), and RGs 1.21, 4.1, 4.8, and 4.15. The REMP should describe a process and methods for monitoring, sampling, and analyzing environmental samples representative of expected radionuclide distributions and concentrations in environmental media and associated exposure pathways. The REMP should identify the type, number, sampling locations, sample volume or weight, and sampling and analytical frequencies of environmental samples. The types of samples should include cow or goat milk and milk products, surface and ground water, fish and invertebrates, meat and poultry and meat products, fruits and vegetables, leafy vegetables, grains, other local food products, sediments and soils, and air. The selection of sampling locations and types of samples, including control sample locations, should be based on the results of a yearly land use census to ensure that changes in exposure pathways are identified and that modifications are made to the monitoring program to reflect such changes. In assessing direct external radiation
