Continued Development of ARCAP Chapters Using a Performance-Based (PB) Approach (i.e., Approach 3) 3
Background
- In the July 31, 2020 ARCAP meeting, NRC provided additional details on a potential PB approach (Approach 3) for ARCAP Chapter 8, Control of Routine Plant Radioactive Effluents and Solid Waste (ML20197A234).
- In the August 27, 2020 ARCAP meeting, NRC presented a framework for these ARCAP chapters (ML20239B034):
- Chapter 2, Site Information
- Chapter 8, Section 8.3, Solid Waste
- Chapter 9, Control of Occupational Dose
- Draft versions on Chapters 8 and 9 will be discussed today. Copies are available at ML20260H366 4
ARCAP Section 8.3, Solid Waste
- Developed using same approach as Sections 8.1 and 8.2
- Reference applicable requirements for performance-based acceptance criteria, such as:
10 CFR 20.1302 and 10 CFR 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, Criterion 63 20.1301(e) 10 CFR 20.1406 10 CFR 61.55 and 10 CFR 61.56 10 CFR 50.34a 10 CFR 20.2006 and Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 20 For LWRs, 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 20.2007 Appendix I, Sections II.A, II.B, II.C, and II.D 40 CFR Part 190 10 CFR 20.2108 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, Criterion 60 10 CFR Part 71 and 49 CFR Parts 171-180 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, Criterion 61 49 CFR 173.443 5
ARCAP Section 8.3, Solid Waste (cont.)
- Develop Acceptance Criteria - System Design, such as:
- Provide a high-level description of the solid waste management system (SWMS)
- Describe expected sources of waste
- Describe equipment design capacities for expected waste volumes and radioactivity inventories of Class A, B and C waste
- Describe design provisions to control and collect any solid waste spillage from equipment malfunction or puncture of waste containers 6
ARCAP Section 8.3, Solid Waste (cont.)
- Develop Acceptance Criteria - Operational Controls, such as:
- Provide a description of operational controls for waste processing and surveillance requirements which assure that:
- Allowable doses to members of the public remain within required levels
- The final waste product meets the requirements of applicable Federal, State and disposal site waste form requirements for burial at a 10 CFR 61 licensed Low-Level Waste (LLW) disposal site
- As an option, applicant may refer to NEI 07-10A, Generic FSAR Template Guidance for Process Control Program (PCP)
- If an applicant chooses to reference this template to address the above acceptance criteria no need to replicate text in the FSAR; may need to update/revise template to reflect operation of specific non-LWR 7
ARCAP Chapter 9, Control of Occupational Dose
- Develop using same approach as Chapter 8
- Address applicability to:
- Part 50 operating license and construction permit applications
- Part 52 design certification and combined license applications
- Non-LWRs and small modular LWRs
- Reference applicable requirements for performance-based acceptance criteria, such as:
- 10 CFR 19.12, as it relates to keeping workers informed who receive occupational radiation exposure (ORE)
- 10 CFR 20, Subpart C, Occupational Dose Limits (20.1201 -
20.1208)
- 10 CFR 20.1101 and the definition of ALARA in 10 CFR 20.1003, as they relate to those measures that ensure that radiation exposures resulting from licensed activities are below specified limits and ALARA 8
ARCAP Chapter 9, Control of Occupational Dose (cont.)
- Develop Acceptance Criteria - System Design, such as:
- Important equipment and facility design features used to ensure that occupational radiation exposures are ALARA such as, shielding, ventilation, area radiation and airborne radioactivity monitoring instrumentation and dose assessment.
- Major radiation sources including sources that require (1) shielding, (2) special ventilation systems, (3) special storage locations and conditions, (4) traffic or access control, (5) special plans or procedures, and (6) monitoring equipment. Information regarding sources terms used in license basis event analysis need not be described in this chapter as this information should be provided elsewhere in the application.
- Design features provided to control access to radiologically restricted areas (including potentially very high radiation areas) and describe each very high radiation area and indicate physical access controls and radiation monitor locations for each of these areas.
- Features that reduce the need for maintenance and other operations in radiation fields, reduce radiation sources in areas where operations may be performed, allow quick entry and easy access, provide remote operation capability, or reduce the time spent working in radiation fields, as well as any other features that reduce radiation exposure of personnel.
- Methods for reducing the production, distribution, and retention of activation products through design, material selection, water chemistry, decontamination procedures, and so forth.
9
ARCAP Chapter 9, Control of Occupational Dose (cont.)
- Develop Acceptance Criteria - Operational Controls, such as:
- Provide commitments to develop comprehensive worker protection programs, organizational structure, training and monitoring to ensure 10 CFR 19 and 10 CFR 20 requirements are met. Include commitments to any relevant regulatory guides, NEI templates, or standards
- As an option, applicant may refer to NEI 07-08A, Generic FSAR Template Guidance for Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures are as Low as is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)
- If an applicant chooses to reference this template to address the above acceptance criteria no need to replicate text in the FSAR; may need to update/revise template to reflect operation of specific non-LWR
- These criteria for operational controls could also be addressed in the Radiation Protection Program with a reference in the FSAR 10
