d in the LPZ; and (c) the population distribution in the LPZ and the population center are within acceptable limits.20 2. Compliance with 10 CFR 100.10 requires, in part, that the acceptability of the site for power or test reactors be determined on a basis that gives particular consideration to population density and the use characteristics of the site environs, including the exclusion area, low population zone, and population center distance. The requirements of 10 CFR 100.10 apply to this SRP section because the reviewer determines whether the exclusion area, low population zone, and population center distance for the site are such that members of the public living in these areas/zones can either be protected or safely evacuated in the unlikely event of a serious radiological accident. SRP Section 2.1.3; Regulatory Guide 4.7, Position C.3; and Regulatory Guide 1.70, Section 2.1.3, provide guidance acceptable to the staff for meeting these requirements. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 100.10 provides assurance that members of the public living in the proximity to an operating reactor will not be subjected to excessive radiological doses in the unlikely event of a radiological emergency.21 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES Selection and emphasis of various aspects of the areas covered by this SRP section will be made by the reviewer on each case. The judgment on the areas to be given attention during the review is to be based on an inspection of the material presented, the similarity of the material to that recently reviewed on other plants, and whether items of special safety significance are involved. Determine that the population data contained in the SAR is in the detail and in the format described in Reference 3 Regulatory Guide 1.70, Section 2.1.3. 22 Compare the SAR present population data against with whatever independent population data 23 are available (e.g., Census Bureau CED tapes, special census which may have been conducted, 24 local and State agencies,
