r 10 CFR 100.20(c)], with respect to establishing the effects of accidental releases of radioactive liquid effluents in ground and surface waters. 2. Early Site Permit Reviews The following statements should be preceded by a summary of the site characteristics and design parameters to be included in any ESP that might be issued for the proposed site: As set forth above, the applicant has presented and substantiated sufficient information pertaining to the identification and evaluation of effects of accidental releases of radioactive liquid effluents in ground and surface waters on existing users and known and likely future users of ground and surface water resources in the vicinity of the proposed site. Section 2.4.13, “Accidental releases of Radioactive Liquid Effluents in Ground and Surface Waters,” of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan, provides that the site safety analysis report should address the requirements of 10 CFR Part 100 as they relate to identifying and evaluating effects of accidental releases of radioactive liquid effluents in ground and surface waters on existing users and known and likely future users in the vicinity of the site. Further, the applicant considered the most severe natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area while describing the hydrologic interface of the plant with the site, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated. The staff has generally accepted the methodologies used to determine the severity of the phenomena reflected in these site characteristics, as documented in safety evaluation reports for 2.4.13-10 Revision 3 - March 2007 previous licensing actions. Accordingly, the staff concludes that the use of these methodologies results in site characteristics containing sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the data have been accumulated. In view of the
