Revision 3 - March 2007 4. The staff will review information from sources other than the SAR whenever available and should use it to check the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted in the SAR. This independent information may be obtained from sources such as U.S. Geological Survey maps and aerial photographs, published documents, contacts with State and Federal agencies, and other nuclear plant applications (especially if the plants are located in the same general area or on the same waterway). The staff should also obtain information during the site visit and subsequent discussions with local officials (see SRP Section 2.1.1 for additional guidance regarding site visits). To the extent that definitive information is available, the staff should also consider future potential hazards over the proposed life of the plant. 5. Potential accidents are identified that cannot be eliminated from consideration as design-basis events because the consequences of the accidents, if they occur, could be sufficiently serious to affect plant safety-related features. The reviewer will assess such potential accidents in detail, using criteria provided in SRP Sections 2.2.3, 3.5.1.5, or 3.5.1.6, as appropriate. 6. Review Procedures Specific to 10 CFR Part 52 Application Type A. Early Site Permit Reviews Subpart A to 10 CFR Part 52 specifies the requirements and procedures applicable to the Commission’s review of an ESP application for approval of a proposed site. Information required in an ESP application includes a description of the site characteristics and design parameters of the proposed site. The scope and level of detail of the review parallel that used for a CP review. In the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39 precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions on the early site permit at the COL stage. Accordingly, the staff should ensure that
