s between the site and existing or known and likely future surface and groundwater users should be described and should be consistent with site characteristics and conform to the stipulation of 10 CFR 100.20(c)(3). 4. Consideration of Other Site-Related Evaluation Criteria: The applicant’s assessment of the potential effects of site-proximity hazards, seismic, and non-seismic events on the radioactive concentration from the postulated tank failure related to accidental release of radioactive liquid effluents to ground and surface waters for the proposed plant site is needed. This assessment should be sufficient to demonstrate that the applicant’s design bases appropriately account for these effects. 5. Branch Technical Position BTP 11-6 provides guidance in assessing a potential release of radioactive liquids following the postulated failure of a tank and its components, located outside of containment, and impacts of the release of radioactive materials at the nearest potable water supply, located in an unrestricted area, for direct human consumption or indirectly through animals, crops, and food processing. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with 10 CFR 100.10(c) and 10 CFR 100.20 (c) requires that the site’s physical characteristics (including seismology, meteorology, geology, and hydrology) be taken into account when determining its acceptability for a nuclear power reactor. To satisfy the hydrological requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, the applicant’s SAR should consider local geological and hydrological characteristics when determining the 2.4.13-5 Revision 3 - March 2007 acceptability of a nuclear power plant site. The geological and hydrological characteristics of the site may have a bearing on the potential consequences of radioactive effluents accidentally released from the facility. Special
