Content:
work in restricted areas will be limited to the lowest practicable levels because 10 CFR 19.12 requires that the workers themselves be stakeholders in maintaining low levels of radiation doses. 2. The referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 relate to the administration of the Radiation Protection Program, including maintaining ORE ALARA to be used in the operation of a nuclear power plant. The referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 specify in detail the administrative procedures to which this SRP applies, including problem identification and resolution; maintenance of radiation doses ALARA; use of engineering controls and monitoring to control radiation exposures; doses in unrestricted areas; performance of surveys; posting of radiation areas; receipt, control, storage, transfer, and disposal of radioactive material; and maintaining records of and reporting radiation exposures. Meeting the requirements of the referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 20 will provide a level of assurance that exposure to radioactivity will be controlled such that individual workers and members of the public will only receive radiation doses that fall within the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 and are ALARA. 3. The NRC regulations 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvii) relate to the capability to promptly obtain and analyze reactor coolant and containment atmospheres during accident conditions (without resulting in excessive radiation doses to individuals) and to monitor in-plant radiation and airborne radioactivity for routine and accident conditions. This SRP section relates to review and approval of the radiation protection program that must be implemented at all nuclear power plants. It covers administration of the program, qualifications of radiation protection personnel, equipment and facilities that support the Radiation Protection Program, and operating and administrative procedures that must be in place. The requirements imposed by 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(viii) and 10 CFR
