(A)

An evaluation showing that the maximum dose to a person offsite due to a release of radioactive materials shall not exceed one rem effective dose equivalent or five rems to the thyroid; or

(B)

An emergency plan for responding to a release of radioactive material.

(b)

One or more of the following factors may be used to support an evaluation submitted under paragraph (10)(a)(A) of this rule:

(A)

The radioactive material is physically separated so that only a portion could be involved in an accident;

(B)

All or part of the radioactive material is not subject to release during an accident because of the way it is stored or packaged;

(C)

The release fraction in the respirable size range shall be lower than the release fraction shown in 10 CFR Part 30.72 (Schedule C — Quantities of Radioactive Materials Requiring Consideration of the Need for an Emergency Plan for Responding to a Release) due to the chemical or physical form of the material;

(D)

The solubility of the radioactive material shall reduce the dose received;

(E)

Facility design or engineered safety features in the facility shall cause the release fraction to be lower than shown in 10 CFR Part 30.72;

(F)

Operating restrictions or procedures shall prevent a release fraction as large as that shown in 10 CFR Part 30.72; or

(G)

Other factors appropriate for the specific facility.
