Content:
n The reviewer shall ensure that Tier 1 identifies and describes, commensurate with their safety significance, those SSCs that provide radiation shielding, confinement or containment of radioactivity, ventilation of airborne contamination, or radiation (or radioactivity concentration) monitoring for normal operations and during accidents. Tier 1 contains ITAAC that insure that the identified SSCs will function as designed. 14.3.8-3 DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 Emergency Preparedness The reviewer should ensure that Tier 1 discusses adequate facilities for emergency response. These include a habitable technical support center (TSC) with space, data retrieval capabilities and dedicated communications equipment, and an operational support center (OSC) with adequate communications, consistent with the applicable criteria in Supplement 1 to NUREG- 0737. The review of Emergency Planning should be accomplished as part of the combined license application or application for an early site permit. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended the Atomic Energy Act to require that the applicant for a combined license submit ITAAC for emergency planning, and this requirement was incorporated into §52.97(b). The staff provided its preliminary views on acceptable ITAAC to the Commission in SECY-95-090, "Emergency Planning Under 10 CFR Part 52," April 11, 1995. The staff developed significant portions of this ITAAC using the information in NUREG-0654, Supplements 1 and 2. Design Processes and Design Acceptance Criteria (DAC) An applicant for design certification may not provide sufficient detail in selected aspects of the design, including sufficient information to stipulate the source terms needed to verify the design of the shielding, ventilation, and airborne radioactivity monitoring systems. The applicant may choose to provide design processes and design acceptance criteria (DAC) for this material, as discussed in Appendix A to SRP Section 14.3. The rationale for determining which areas
