R 52.39. Information provided by the applicant in accordance with 10 CFR 52.6(b) will be addressed by the staff during the review of a COL application referencing an ESP or a DC. For a COL application referencing either an ESP or DC or both, the staff should review the corresponding sections of the ESP and DC FSER to ensure that any early site permit conditions, restrictions to the DC, or COL action items identified in the FSERs are appropriately handled in the COL application IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The review should document the staff’s evaluation that appropriate atmospheric dispersion models, with adequate onsite meteorological data as input to the models, have been used to calculate conservative estimates of atmospheric dispersion conditions at appropriate locations during postulated accidental releases of radioactive and hazardous materials to the atmosphere. The reviewer should state what was done to evaluate the applicant’s safety analysis report. The staff’s evaluation may include verification that the applicant followed applicable regulatory guidance, performance of independent calculations, and/or validation of appropriate assumptions. The reviewer may state that certain information provided by the applicant was not considered essential to the staff’s review and was not reviewed by the staff. While the reviewer may summarize or quote the information offered by the applicant in support of its application, the reviewer should clearly articulate the bases for the staff’s conclusions. 2.3.4-13 Revision 3 - March 2007 The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. 1.
