REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Effluent Treatment Systems Branch (ETSB) Secondary - Hydrologic & Geotechnical Engineering Branch (HGEB) I. AREAS OF REVIEW At the construction permit (CP) stage of review, ETSB reviews the information in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) in the specific areas that follow. At the operating license (OL) stage of review, ETSB review consists of confirming the design accepted at the CP stage and evaluating the adequacy of the applicant's technical specifications in these areas. 1. The ETSB determines the tanks and associated components which could contain radioactive liquids outside containment and evaluates the consequences of single failures involving these tanks and components. 2. A secondary review is performed by HGEB to complete the overall evaluation. The HGEB will review information on the surface and groundwater hydrology and the parameters governing liquid waste movement through the soil. This review by HGEB is conducted as part of the primary review responsibility of SRP Section 2.4.12. In addition, ETSB will coordinate the branch evaluation that interfaces with the overall review of tanks and components containing radioactive liquids outside of containment as follows: The review for Technical Specifications is coordinated and performed by the Licensing Guidance Branch (LGB) as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 16.0. For the area of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of LGB, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and the methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section.
