7.2-5 NUREG-1555 (b) If the applicant used a code not currently endorsed by the NRC, either evaluate the code that was used or determine the dose consequences resulting from selected severe accidents using an NRC-endorsed code to compare with the dose consequences calculated by the applicant. (6) Evaluate the protective actions that the applicant considered in its evaluation of the dose consequences from severe accidents to determine if the protective actions were appropriately considered. (7) Evaluate the applicant’s analysis of the groundwater pathway for radiation exposure to the public. (a) Refer to the analysis of the potential consequences of a liquid-pathway release for generic sites as presented in NUREG-0440 (NRC 1978). (b) Ensure that the generic analysis is bounding for this particular plant. (8) Review the socioeconomic impacts that might be associated with emergency measures during or following an accident. This would include a review of the probability distribution for cost of offsite mitigating actions including the following: ` evacuation costs ` value of crops contaminated and condemned ` value of milk contaminated and condemned ` costs of decontamination of property (where practical) ` indirect costs resulting from the loss of use of property and incomes derived as a result of the accident (this would include any interdiction to prevent the use of property until it is either free of contamination or can be economically decontaminated). (9) Review the applicant’s characterization of environmental consequences to biota. (a) Determine the presence of threatened and endangered species and federally designated critical habitat by coordinating with the reviewers of ESRPs 2.4.1 and 2.4.2. (b) Determine if the previously calculated radiation-exposure levels would significantly impact the threatened and endangered species located in the area or in any nearby critical habitats. (c) Obtain assistance in making this evaluation from the reviewer for ESRP
