ll be reviewed to ensure that results are appropriate in light of any new data or experience which is then available. Facilities which are likely to either produce DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 2.2.1-4 or consume hazardous materials should be investigated as possible sources of traffic of hazardous materials past the site. 2. Information should be obtained from sources other than the SAR wherever available, and should be used 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 (USGS) maps and aerial photos, published documents, contacts with State and Federal agencies, and from other nuclear plant applications (especially if they are located in the same general area or on the same waterway). Information should also be obtained during the site visit and subsequent discussions with local officials. (See Standard Review Plan SRP Section 2.1.1 for further guidance with regard to site visits.) 22 To the extent that definitive information is available, future potential hazards over the proposed life of the plant should be reviewed. 3. The specific information relating to types of potentially hazardous material, including distance, quantity, and frequency of shipment, is reviewed to eliminate as many of the potential accident situations as possible by inspection, based on past review experience. At the operating license or COL stage, nearby industrial, military, and transportation 23 facilities and transportation routes will be reviewed for any changes or additions which may affect the safe operation of the plant. If these changes alter the data or assumptions used in previous hazards evaluations or demonstrate the need for new ones, appropriate evaluations will be performed. For pipeline hazards, Reference 7 may be used as an example of an acceptable risk assessment. For cryogenic fuels, Reference 9 may be used, and for tank barge risks, Reference 8. For
