The regulation in 10 CFR 100.21(e) states the following: Potential hazards associated with nearby transportation routes, industrial and military facilities must be evaluated, and site parameters established such that potential hazards from such routes and facilities will pose no undue risk to the type of facility proposed to be located at the site. Potentially hazardous facilities and activities including military training routes and transportation routes within 8 kilometers (5 miles) and major airports within 16 kilometers (10 miles) of a proposed site should be identified. If a preliminary evaluation of potential accidents at these facilities or transportation routes indicates that the potential hazards from aircraft crashes, blast overpressure from explosion of flammable vapor clouds, fires, or release of toxic vapors exist, the suitability of the site should be determined through detailed evaluation of the potential hazard.
