ys. The estimates of the effluent source terms (Ci/yr) and effluent concentrations (µCi/ml) are evaluated to determine whether they are consistent with the range of possible thermal power levels. The staff should confirm the approach used by the applicant in developing the annual average liquid effluent source term. For a 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 for the selected reactor technology. For a 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 DC or other reactor 11.2-29 Revision 5 – January 2016 technology and conservatively bounding over all expected radionuclides and estimate of releases. 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 issues that were resolved as part of the ESP at the COL stage. The applicant should provide 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. Accordingly, the reviewer should ensure that physical attributes (relevant to the review conducted under 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, and conditions stipulated in the ESP, including COL action items. The staff should confirm that exposure pathways are based on site-specific or regional land-use information and include all appropriate dose receptors. Exposure pathways should include consumption of drinking water (ground and
