facility
the environmental surveillance program, including information on the
identification of possible and probable radioactive contaminants resulting
from operation of the facility, selection of sampling materials and locations
(include maps), sample collection methods and frequency, sampling and
counting equipment, and sample analysis techniques, sensitivities, and
detection limits.
Accepktace Crieria
Acceptance criteria for the environmental monitoring program should include the
following:.
* The documentation should discuss the environmental quality commitments
that the program should address and the standards that were used in
development of the program.
* The methods used to establish the preoperational baseline conditions for
new facilities should be described.
* The methods and techniques to sample- and analyze the radiological effect
of facility operation should be complete, applicable; and of sufficient
validity that the environmental impact can be unambiguously assessed.
Results should be compared with preconstruction or preoperation
envronmental data.
* The environmental monitoring program should provide confidence that a
significant radiological impact on the environnment from the facility would
be detected and the type and magnitude of the radiological impact would
be determined.
Reiew Procedures
The reviewer should confirm that the infonnation in the SAR addresses the issues
included in the acceptance criteria and contains the information requested in the
environmental monitoring section of the format and content guide. The reviewer
should examine the plans and methods designed to assess changes in the
