Facility design for radiological safety

In the description of the design considerations for the facility and equipment it shall be demonstrated that external and internal radiation exposures of facility personnel and the general public are based on the radiation protection policy described in para. A. 1203. It shall be described how the design philosophy reduces the exposure of personnel, minimizes the undesirable production of radioactive material, reduces the need and the time spent for maintenance and operational activities with the possibility of internal or external exposure, and keeps the releases of radioactive material to the environment as low as reasonably achievable. 

This section shall discuss the radiological protection aspects of the ventilation system on the basis of the description of the system in Chapter A.4 (Buildings and Structures) or Chapter A.7 (Engineered Safety Features). 

This section shall describe the permanent monitoring systems for area radiation, effluents and airborne radiation, including information on  

The radiation monitoring system or other systems that could be used during accident conditions should be described. Reference should be made to Chapter A. 16 (Safety Analysis) for use of the system in the safety analysis, and to Chapter A.20 (Emergency Planning and Preparedness) for emergency measures regarding the application of monitoring under accident conditions.
