2.1 Discussion The ALARA Committee is the group designed to ensure the development and implementation of principles that shall ensure that occupational exposures to ionizing radiation and contamination will be "as low as reasonably achievable" ( ALARA) .

2.2 Definitions 2.2.1 ALARA principles - ALARA principles refer to a design or conduct of operation that will allow cperations, maintenance, inspec-tions, and decommissioning of a nuclear facility with the consequent radiation expo-sure to personnel as low as reasonably achievable.

2.2.2 Reasonably achievable - Peasonably achiev-able is judged by considering the state of the technology and the economics of improve-ments in relation to all of the benefits from these improvements.

In assessing the economic portion of potential modifications or programs the following guidelines should be used. tihen l only the health benefits to the zeneral 1

pub'lic or plant radiation workeri need be considered the 10CFR50 value of $1000 (1975 dollars) per man-rem, integrated over the period of exposure, should be used.

When a potential dose reduction affects plant radiation workers because of the added cost of replacement workers, a dollar value of $6000 (1975 dollars) per man-ren i

Pace No. 1 Rev. No. 1

CPS No. 0AP1895.02N i

per year, averaged dose rate reduction, should be used. This figure represents an economic ecuivalent of a dose rate reduction (dose per year) and cannot be integrated 1

over the perio~d of exposure. However, an additional value of $1000 per man-rem.

integrated over the period of exposure, should be added to this calculation to account for the health benefits to the radiation workers.

It should be emphasized that a dollar value, as calculated above, is not sufficient 1

justification alone in deciding on the merits of a given modification. Instead, careful consideration of all factors followed by prudent judgment related to this consid-eration will dictate the final decision.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY The Power Plant Manager is responsible for ensuring the proper implementation of this procedure. The Supervisor -

RadChem is responsible for review of this procedure. The Supervisor - Radiation Protection (SRP) is responsible for providing technical guidance and assistance to persons 1

involved in compliance with the ALARA program.

i N72-PY-73(04-27)-0 CPS No. 0Apl395. 02:I April 27, 1978 T. F. Plunkett, F-33 Implementation of the ALARA Program for Clinton Power Station The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has established requirements that nuclear power plant licensees implement a program to achieve radiation exposure both operationally and to the general public, "as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA)."

The attached document describes Illinois Power Company's plans to ensure that all aspects of our ongoing nuclear plant design and eventual operation be conducted in a manner such that radiation exposure will be as low as reasonably achievable.

You are hereby directed to fully develop and implement the ALARA program at the Clinton Power Station. By copy of this memorandum, I am directing that the Power Production and Genera-tion Engineering Departments participate in the ALARA program as their specific responsibilities so relate.
