30 (30 miles), a memorandum should be prepared advising appropriate staff personnel that an 31 evaluation of alternative sites having lower population densities will be required. Determine that the SAR includes a map of the low population zone and a table of population distribution which includes transients (Reference 3Regulatory Guide 1.70, Section 2.1.3.4). 32 Determine the method used by the applicant to establish the boundary of the nearest population center (Reference 3Regulatory Guide 1.70, Section 2.1.3.5). Evaluate communities which are 33 closer to the plant than the design population center to determine the likelihood that any of them can be projected to 25,000 people within the plant lifetime. Compare the distance to the boundary of the population center towith the distance to the outer boundary of the low population zone and establish that the population center distance is at least one and one third times the low population zone distance as required by 10 CFR Part 100. Population and population density data of specific towns and cities within the low population zone can be checked against population data as contained in the Department of Commerce publication, "1970 Census of Population - Characteristics of the Population,""1990 CP-1-1, 1990 Census of Population - General Population Characteristics of the U.S.," or other Census 34 Bureau publications. Determine that the current and projected population data for the LPZ includes transients (e.g., workers, occupants of schools, hospitals, etc., recreational facilities). The EPLBPERB determines the acceptability of the LPZ with respect to the necessary finding 35 that there is reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures could be taken in behalf of the people within the LPZ in the event of a radiological emergency. [10 CFR Part 100, §100.3(b)] A memorandum stating this finding should be transmitted to SABECGB for use in preparing 36 the staff's safety evaluation reportSER.37 DRAFT Rev. 3 -
