Content:
For a COL application, the review is conducted against the requirements in 10 CFR Part 52.77, 10 CFR 52.79, and 10 CFR 52.80, and includes, if referenced in the application, an evaluation of emergency plans that are approved in connection with the issuance of an ESP and/or design features contained in a certified design. The review of the previously approved referenced information is to confirm it is appropriately incorporated into the emergency plans contained in the COL application. Draft Regulatory Guide (DG-1145) provides specific guidance related to the development of a COL application. In general, if an application is for an additional reactor at an operating reactor site, and the application proposes to incorporate and extend elements of the existing emergency planning program to the new reactor (including by reference), those existing elements should be considered acceptable and adequate. The reviewer will generally focus the review on the extension of the existing program to the new reactor, and will determine whether the incorporated emergency planning program information from the existing reactor site (1) is applicable to the proposed reactor, (2) is up-to-date when the application is submitted, and (3) reflects use of the site for construction of a new reactor (or reactors) and appropriately incorporates the new reactor(s) into the existing plan. The safety evaluation report (SER) should document the bases for concluding that included (or referenced) information from an existing emergency preparedness program satisfies the applicable acceptance criteria. The reviewer will also examine how the existing elements are incorporated into the application, determine the acceptability of expanding the existing program to include one or more additional reactors, and determine the acceptability of the applicant’s identification of any impact on the adequacy of the existing emergency preparedness program for the operating reactor (or reactors). The reviewer will
