REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB)Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)1 Secondary - Emergency Preparedness Licensing Branch (EPLB)Emergency Preparedness and Radiation Protection Branch (PERB)2 I. AREAS OF REVIEW The SABECGB reviews the population data in the site environs as presented in the applicant's 3 safety analysis report (SAR), to determine whether the exclusion area, low population zone and 4 population center distance for the site comply with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, and (at the construction permit (CP), early site permit, or combined license (COL) stage) to determine 5 whether the population density is such, as given in Position C.3 of Regulatory Guide 4.7, that consideration should be given by the applicant to alternate sites with lower population density. A secondary review is performed by EPLBPERB and the written results are used by SAB 6 ECGB to complete the overall evaluation of the facility. 7 The EPLB reviews the low population zone (LPZ), to determine whether there is reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in this area, in the event of emergency. The results of the analysis are transmitted to SAB for inclusion in the safety evaluation report.8 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 2.1.3-2 Review Interfaces9 The ECGB coordinates PERB evaluations that interface with the overall evaluation of population distribution under other Standard Review Plan (SRP) sections, as follows: 1. The ECGB obtains calculations from the PERB on the radiological consequences of a design basis accident as it affects the outer boundaries of the exclusion zone and the low population zone (LPZ) (as described in SRP Chapter 15). The ECGB then verifies that these calculations have taken under consideration those physical characteristics of the site and of the proposed plant that may influence effluent releases. 2. The PERB reviews the physical characteristics of the LPZ to determine whether there is
