1 REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Emergency Preparedness and Radiation Protection Branch (PERB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Each branch reviews the Design Control Document (DCD) submitted by the applicant. PERB has primary review responsibility for Tier 1 information pertaining to the radiation protection and emergency preparedness aspects of the design. Review responsibilities may be consistent with those contained in Appendix B to SRP Section 14.3. Examples of the systems within the scope of the review include radiation monitoring systems, containment atmospheric monitoring systems, and emergency response facilities in Tier 1. PERB has primary review responsibility for any additional material regarding design processes for radiation protection and their related design acceptance criteria. PERB also has primary review responsibilities for selected site parameters involving atmospheric dispersion (X/Qs) for exclusion area boundaries (EABs) and low population zones (LPZs). The reviewer has secondary review responsibility for all other Tier 1 and ITAACs which address the plant radiation protection design or systems relied upon in the design-basis accidents (DBAs) dose assessment. These ITAACs include buildings, ventilation and filtration systems, primary containment, drywell bypass, and the post-accident sampling system. DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 14.3.8-2 Review Interfaces SRP Section 14.3 provides general guidance on review interfaces. PERB performs related reviews and coordination activities, as requested by other branches, for issues in Tier 1 related to plant systems. In addition, PERB will coordinate other branches' evaluations that interface with the overall review of the systems as follows: 1. The Plant Systems Branch (SPLB) determines the acceptability of Tier 1 information regarding HVAC design, containment isolation, and selected aspects of the containment design in SRP Section 14.3.6. 2. The Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)
