NUREG-1537, Part 2 - NRC

CHAPTER 1
Accepance Criteria
Acceptance criteria for information on radioactive waste controls should include
the following:
* The applicant should describe how all processes and procedures that could
produce radioactive waste material will be evaluated.
* The discussion should show that appropriate monitoring and sampling will
be performed and suffiaent analyses will be completed to assess the extent
of the radiation exposure from waste products.
* The methods to avoid inadvertent exposure of personnel or uncontrolled
escape of the radioactive materials should be described.
* Methods to define and maintain continuous control of radioactive materials
that require treatment and management as waste should be included.
* Methods should be discussed by which the quantities of radioactive waste
can be decreased.
Review Procedures
The reviewer should compare the plans to identify and maintain control of
radioactive wastes with plans at other similar non-power reactor facilities that
NRC has found acceptable. The reviewer should also compare the applicant's
submittal against the acceptance criteria in this standard review plan.
Evaluaion Findings
This section of the SAR should contain sufficient information to support the
following types of conclusions, which will be included in the staffs safety
evaluation report:
* The applicant has described in the SAR methods by which the waste
products from all procedures and processes will be monitored or otherwise
assessed for radioactive material contents.
* When appropriate, controls will be established on the waste streams and
products designed to prevent uncontrolled exposures or escape of
radioactive waste.
* The descriptions of the plans and procedures provide reasonable assurance
that radioactive wastes will be controlled at all times in a manner that
