§ 53.850 Radiation protection.
(a) Each holder of an OL or COL under this part must develop, implement, and maintain a Radiation Protection Program for operations that is commensurate with the scope and extent of licensed activities under this part and includes measures for limiting and monitoring radioactive plant effluents and limiting and monitoring the dose to individuals working with radioactive materials in accordance with 10 CFR part 20.
(b) Each holder of an OL or COL under this part must develop, implement, and maintain a program for the control of radioactive effluents and for environmental monitoring. The program must be contained in an Offsite Dose Calculations Manual, must be implemented by procedures, and must include remedial actions to be taken whenever the program limits are exceeded. The Offsite Dose Calculations Manual must—
(1) Contain the methodology and parameters used in the calculation of offsite doses resulting from radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, in the calculation of gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring alarm and trip setpoints, and in the conduct of the radiological environmental monitoring program; and
(2) Contain the radioactive effluent controls and radiological environmental monitoring activities, and descriptions of the information that should be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating and Radioactive Effluent Release Reports required by § 53.1645.
(c) Each holder of an OL or COL under this part must develop, implement, and maintain a Process Control Program that identifies the administrative and operational controls for solid radioactive waste processing, process parameters, and surveillance requirements sufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR part 20, 10 CFR part 61, and 10 CFR part 71.
