est that additional data be provided or that calculations be repeated until the reviewer and the applicant are in reasonable agreement about the estimated individual and collective doses. The reviewer should take the following steps to evaluate the predicted doses with respect to 10 CFR 20 requirements: ` Determine whether public or occupational dose limits apply to construction workers. ` If public dose limits apply, determine whether construction personnel will be monitored in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1302(a). ` If occupational limits apply, determine whether monitoring of construction personnel under the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1205 is required. ` Summarize measures necessary to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and prepare input to appropriate EIS sections, identifying their merit. October 1999 4.5-7 NUREG-1555 ` When advised that such measures have been implemented, recalculate the construction-worker doses. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The evaluation of the radiation exposure to construction workers should accomplish the following objectives: (1) public disclosure of predicted radiological impacts to the construction work force resulting from construction of the proposed project in the vicinity of an operating nuclear facility, (2) presentation of the basis for the staff analysis, and (3) presentation of staff conclusions, regarding radiological impact to construction workers. The following information should be included in the EIS: ` a description of sources of radiation and physical relationship of these sources to the proposed project construction zone ` estimates of maximum individual doses and a brief discussion of how the estimates were calculated, a comparison of these doses with the requirements of 10 CFR 20, and the reviewer’s conclusions with respect to compliance with 10 CFR 20, including any measures necessary to achieve compliance ` estimates of the annual collective dose to the construction force by year of construction, a brief discussion of
