DARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made avalable to the public as part of the Commission's policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regufftory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington. D.C. contamination from accidentally released liquid effluents. Estimates of physical parameters necessary to calculate the transport of liquid effluent from the points of release to the site of existing or known future users must be described. Potential pathways of contamination to surface water users must be identified. Sources of information and data must be described and referenced. Acceptance is based on the staff's evaluation of the appli- cant's computational methods and the apparent completeness of the set of parameters necessary to perform the analysis. 3. Mathematical models are acceptable to analyze the flow field and dispersion of contaminants in ground and surface waters, providing that the models have been verified by field data and that conservative site-specific hydro- logic parameters are used. Furthermore, conservatism.must be the guide in selecting the proper model to represent a specific physical situation.
