19.12 and NUREG-0731 and therefore, are acceptable. The radiation protection features at [plant name] include a [radiochemistry laboratory, personnel decontamination and emergency treatment areas, an access control point, counting room, calibration room, respirator testing facility, office, laundry, and other relevant features]. These facilities are sufficient to maintain occupational radiation exposures ALARA and are consistent with the 12.5-22 Revision 5 – September 2013 requirement in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii), and the guidance in Section III.D.3.3 of NUREG-0737 and RG 1.97 which provide additional detail and clarification of requirements and with the provisions of RG 8.8. Equipment to be used for radiation protection purposes includes portable radiation survey instruments, personnel monitoring equipment, fixed and portable area and airborne radioactivity monitors, laboratory equipment, air samplers, respiratory protective equipment, and protective clothing. The applicant has described a respiratory protection program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart H for radiological airborne contaminants and 29 CFR1910.134, “Occupational Safety and Health Standards – Respiratory Protection,” consistent with the guidance contained in RG 8.15, as they relate to the program for the use of respiratory protection for mixed hazards in the radiologically controlled areas of the plant. The number and types of equipment to be used are adequate and meet the criteria of RG 1.97. The instruments and equipment used for quantitative measurements are calibrated and provide reasonable assurance that the applicant will be able to maintain occupational exposures ALARA. The applicant has described the process to be used to ensure that instruments and calibration methods used to comply with 10 CFR 20.1501(b), consistent with the guidance contained in NUREG-1736. All permanent and temporary plant personnel will be assigned [beta-gamma thermoluminescent dosimeter
