REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB)Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Reactor location is reviewed (1) as identified by latitude and longitude and by the UTM(1) coordinate system; (2) with respect to political subdivisions; and (3) with respect to prominent natural and man-made features of the area to ascertain the accuracy of the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) description and for use in independent reviews of the exclusion area authority and control (SRP Section 2.1.2), the surrounding population (SRP Section 2.1.3) and nearby man-made hazards (SRP Section 2.2.3). The site area which contains the reactors and associated principal plant structures is reviewed to determine the distance from the reactor to boundary lines of the exclusion area, including the direction and distance from the reactor to the nearest exclusion area boundary line. A scaled plot plan of the exclusion area is reviewed which permits distance measurements to the exclusion area boundary in each of the 22-1/2 degree segments centered on the 16 cardinal compass points. The location and orientation of plant structures within the exclusion area are reviewed to identify potential release points and their distances to exclusion area boundary lines. The location, 2 distance, and orientation of plant structures with respect to highways, railwaysroads , and 3 waterways which traverse or lie adjacent to the exclusion area are reviewed to assureensure that 4 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 2.1.1-2 they are adequately described to permit analyses (SRP Section 2.2.3) of the possible effects on the plant of accidents on these transportation routes. The description of the restricted area will be reviewed to verify that adequate information has been provided to determine general population doses from normal liquid and gaseous releases.5 An applicant for a standard design certification may postulate values for site parameters as a
