design concept is technically feasible and within the state of the art, and that there exists reasonable assurance that the requirements will be implemented properly prior to the issuance of operating licenses. Using the methods listed in Section II.B.2 of NUREG-0737, applicants for OLs shall (1) perform a radiation and shielding design review that identifies the location of vital areas and equipment in which personnel occupancy may be unduly limited during operations following an accident resulting in a degraded core, and (2) provide a description of the types of corrective actions needed to assure adequate access to vital areas and protection of safety equipment. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer determines whether the source term design bases are consistent with the acceptance criteria, and whether source strengths, concentrations of airborne radioactivity, and quantitative source descriptions are consistent with the assumptions made and the methods used by the applicant. Locations of the contained sources relative to shield walls, occupied areas, traffic path- ways, inservice inspection points, sampling stations, controls, etc., are examined for special situations requiring additional action to assure that 12.2-4 Rev. 2 July 1981 occupational radiation exposures (ORE) will be as low as is reasonably achiev- able (ALARA). Based on the review, RAB may request additional information or request the applicant to reevaluate the analysis for the purpose of modifying those areas which do not meet the acceptance criteria given in subsection II of this SRP section. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The staff's review should verify that sufficient information is contained in the SAR and amendments, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.70 and 10 CFR Part 50, §50.34, to arrive at conclusions of the following type, which are to be included in the staff's Safety Evaluation Report. The report will include a summary of the applicant's submittal, the
