Content:
nuary 10, 1997, requires that site acceptability will be determined on a basis that gives particular consideration to population density and the use characteristics of the site environs, including the exclusion area, LPZ, and population center distance. The requirements of 10 CFR 100.20(a)2 and 10 CFR 100.21(a)2 apply to this SRP section because the staff determines whether the exclusion area, LPZ, 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 Positions C.3 and C.4 of Regulatory Guide 4.7, Regulatory Guide 1.70, and Section 2.1.3 of DG-1145 provide guidance acceptable to the staff for meeting these requirements. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 100.20(a)2, and 10 CFR 100.21(a) for respective power reactor applications provides assurance that members of the public living in the proximity of an operating reactor will not be subjected to excessive radiological doses in the unlikely event of a radiological emergency. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether data and analyses for the proposed site meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the data and analyses 2.1.3-5 Revision 3 - March 2007 remain valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with these data. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique
