REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB)Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The applicant's identification of potential accident situations on site and in the vicinity of the plant with the potential to affect safety-related features is reviewed to determine the 2 completeness of and the bases upon which these potential accidents were or were not accommodated in the design. (See Standard Review Plan (SRP) Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.)2.2.1 - 2.2.2. ) 3 The analyses of the consequences of accidents on site and those involving nearby industrial, 4 military, and transportation facilities which have been identified as design basis events are reviewed. Review Interfaces The ECGB will coordinate other branch evaluations with the overall review of potential accidents, as follows:5 1. With respect to potential offsite accidents which could affect control room habitability 6 (e.g., toxic gases, asphyxiants), those accidents which are to be accommodated on a design basis, as determined within SRP Section 2.2.3 review, will be addressed by the Accident Evaluation Branch (AEB)Plant Systems Branch (SPLB) as part of its primary 7 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 2.2.3-2 review responsibility forwithin SRP Section 6.4. review , in accordance with 8 TMI-Related Requirement III.D.3.4 of NUREG-0694.9 2. The applicant's probability analyses of potential accidents involving hazardous materials or activities on site and in the vicinity of the plant, if such analyses have been 10 performed, are also reviewed by the Applied Statistics Branch (ASB/MPA)Division of Budget and Analysis, Office of the Controller, on request by SABECGB to determine 11 12 that appropriate data and analytical models have been utilized. For areas of review identified as part of the primary responsibility of other branches, acceptance criteria and methodologies for these reviews are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary
