erent kinds of aircraft and failure modes. b. A skid area around the plant as determined by the characteristics of the aircraft under consideration. Artificial berms or any other man- made and natural barriers should be taken into account in calculating this area. c. The areas of those safety-related SSC which are susceptible to impact or fire damage as a result of aircraft crashes. 3.5.1.6-5 Rev. 2 - July 1981 IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer drafts an introductory paragraph for the evaluation findings describing the procedure used in evaluating the aircraft hazards with respect to the safety-related SSC. The reviewer verifies that the site location is acceptable and meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, §100.10. The basis for the above findings may be strictly in terms of the probabilities associated with potential aircraft crashes onsite. If the aircraft crash statistics applicable to the onsite facilities are such that SRP Section 2.2.3 criteria are met without explicit consideration of plant design features, then conclusions of the following type should be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The staff concludes that the operation of the plant in the vicinity of does not present an undue risk to the health and safety of the public and meets the relevant requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, §100.10. This conclusion is based on the staff's independent verification of the applicant's assessment of aircraft hazards at the site that resulted in a probability less than about 10-7 per year for an accident having radiolog- ical consequences worse than the exposure guidelines of 10 CFR Part 100. In addition, plant sites reviewed in the past which had equivalent aircraft traffic in equal or closer proximity were, after careful examination, found to present no undue risk to the safe operation of those plants. Based upon this experience, in the staff's judgment, no undue risk is present from aircraft hazard at the plant site now under consideration. In
