rational and AOO source terms. The staff will confirm the approach used by the applicant in developing the annual average liquid and gaseous effluent source terms. For a coolant source term based on a single type of reactor design, the staff will confirm that the applied source term is consistent with that presented in the current revision of the DC or other selected reactor technology. For a coolant source term based on two or more types of reactor designs, the staff will confirm that the source term, as a plant parameter envelope, is consistent with that presented in the current revision of each DC, or other selected reactor technologies, and conservatively bounding over all expected radionuclides and estimated releases. The staff will confirm that the applicant has provided enough information for the staff to conclude that the application provides a bounding assessment in demonstrating the capability to comply with the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I design objectives. In the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39 precludes the staff from imposing on an ESP new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions for items 11.1-14 Draft Revision 4 –August 2014 approved in the review of the ESP application at the COL stage. Accordingly, the reviewer should ensure that physical attributes (pertinent to the review conducted in this SRP section) of the site that could affect the design basis of SSCs that are important to safety or risk-significant are reflected in the site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions stipulated in the ESP, including COL action items. B. Standard Design Certification Reviews. For the review of a DC application, the reviewer should follow the above procedures to verify that the design, including requirements and restrictions (e.g., system interfaces and site parameters) set forth in the application, meets the
