REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The applicant's identification of potential accident situations in the vicinity of the plant is reviewed to determine the completeness of and the bases upon which these potential accidents were or were not accommodated in the design. (See Standard Review Plan Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.) With respect to potential offsite accidents which could affect control room habitability (e.g., toxic gases, asphyxiants), those accidents which are to be accommodated on a design basis, as determined within SRP Section 2.2.3 review, will be addressed by the Accident Evaluation Branch (AEB) within SRP Section 6.4 review, in accordance with TMI-Related Requirement III.D.3.4 of NUREG-0694. The applicant's probability analyses of potential accidents involving hazardous materials or activities in the vicinity of the plant, if such analyses have been performed, are also reviewed by the Applied Statistics Branch (ASB/MPA) on request I by SAB to determine that appropriate data and analytical models have been utilized. | The analyses of the consequences of accidents involving nearby industrial, military, and transportation facilities which have been identified as design basis events are reviewed. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA SAB acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, §100.10 (Ref. 1) as it relates to the factors to be considered in the evaluation of sites, which indicates that reactors should reflect through their design, construction, and operation an extremely low probability for accidents that Rev. 2 - July 19811 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power prants These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commisslon' policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the
