Content:
red in an ESP application includes a description of the site characteristics and design parameters of the proposed site. The scope and level of detail for the review of this information parallels that used for a CP review. In the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39, “Finality of early site permit determinations,” precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions on the early site permit at the COL stage. Accordingly, the reviewer should ensure that all physical attributes of the site that could affect the design basis of SSCs important to safety are reflected in the site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions of the early site permit. b. Standard Design Certification Reviews DC applications do not contain general descriptions of site characteristics because this information is site-specific and will be addressed by ESP and COL applicants. However, pursuant to 10 CFR 52.47(a)(1), a DC applicant must provide site parameters postulated for the design. There are no postulated site parameters related to the onsite meteorological measurements program for a DC related to this SRP section. The DC application review under this SRP section should confirm the inclusion of a COL action item relating to the need to establish an onsite meteorological monitoring program. c. Combined License Reviews For a COL application referencing a certified standard design, the staff reviews the application to ensure that sufficient information is presented to demonstrate that the characteristics of the site fall within the site parameters specified in the DC rule. Since there are no site parameters related to the onsite meteorological 2.3.3-15 Draft Revision 4 – September 2018 measurements program included in the DC, this demonstration is not applicable for this SRP section. For a COL application referencing an ESP and DC, the staff reviews the
