U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION July 2007 Revision 2 REGULATORY GUIDE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REGULATORY RESEARCH REGULATORY GUIDE 4.15 (Draft was issued as DG-4010, dated November 2006) QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAMS (INCEPTION THROUGH NORMAL OPERATIONS TO LICENSE TERMINATION) — EFFLUENT STREAMS AND THE ENVIRONMENT A. INTRODUCTION This regulatory guide describes a method that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) considers acceptable for use in designing and implementing programs to ensure the quality of the results of measurements of radioactive materials in the effluents from, and environment outside of, facilities that process, use, or store radioactive materials during all phases of the facility’s life cycle. QUALITY ASSURANCE1 (QA) is a fundamental expectation of Title 10, “Energy,” of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) for items and activities that are relied on to protect the health and safety of the public and the environment. This guide specifically applies to facilities for which NRC regulations require routine monitoring of radioactive effluents to the environment, and particularly those facilities licensed under the following regulations: ? 10 CFR Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities” (Ref. 1) Rev. 2 of RG 4.15, Page 2 ? 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 2) ? 10 CFR Part 61, “Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste” (Ref. 3) ? 10 CFR Part 72, “Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater Than Class C Waste” (Ref. 4) ? 10 CFR Part 76, “Certification of Gaseous Diffusion Plants” (Ref. 5) The guide also may apply to other facilities licensed by the NRC, for which the agency may impose specific license conditions for effluent or environmental monitoring, as deemed necessary to ensure the health and safety of the public and the env
