REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Emergency Preparedness Licensing Branch (EPLB), OIE Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The applicant's emergency planning, as described in his Safety Analysis Report (SAR), is reviewed by EPLB of the Division of Emergency Preparedness of the Office of Inspection and Enforcement. This primary review responsibility involves evaluation of evidence of preliminary planning (in the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report, PSAR) or substantive evidence of planning (in the Final Safety Analysis Report, FSAR) for emergency preparedness directed at situations involving real or potential radiological hazards. The review is made against 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, the planning standards described in 10 CFR Part 50, §50.47(b) and the specific criteria given in the guidance document "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants" (NUREG-0654 Revision 1) and "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities" (NUREG-0696). In addition, the review at the OL stage includes a review of the FEMA findings on the state of preparedness of offsite authorities with responsibility for taking protective measures in the plume exposure pathway EPZ and the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ. Although EPLB has the overall review responsbility for emergency preparedness, certain aspects of technical reviews will be performed by or through the Emergency Preparedness Development Branch (EPDB). Examples of these areas are meteorological information, emergency action levels, emergency response facilities, and evacuation time estimates. EPLB will coordinate with EPOB on these reviews. II.
