title: Risk-based radioactive liquid effluent monitoring requirements at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site.
abstract: For Department of Energy (DOE) facilities, clear regulatory guidance exists for structuring radiological air emissions monitoring programs. However, there are no parallel regulations for radiological liquid effluent monitoring programs. In order to bridge this gap and to technically justify liquid effluent monitoring decisions at DOE's Savannah River Site, a graded, risk-based approach has been established to determine the monitoring and sampling criteria to be applied at each liquid discharge point.
