CFR Title: 

Content:
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 confirm that the applicant has appropriately identified whether any updates are required to existing emergency facilities and equipment, including the Alert and Notification System (ANS), in order to accommodate extension to the proposed new reactor. If appropriate, the reviewer will determine whether the applicant has addressed the exercise requirements for co-located licensees, in accordance with Section IV.F.2.c of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, and the conduct of emergency preparedness activities and interactions discussed in Regulatory Guide 1.101, Rev. 5. For all reactor license applications (excluding standard design certifications), submitted pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52, the NRC consults with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding offsite emergency planning and preparedness. Certified designs are design-specific (i.e., pertain to a licensee’s facilities and equipment), and do not address site-specific emergency planning, which is programmatic in nature. DHS is the Federal agency with the lead responsibility for oversight of offsite emergency planning and preparedness. These responsibilities are now executed by the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program (formerly held by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)). The REP Program now resides within the Preparedness Directorate of DHS. While the responsibility for evaluating the emergency plans and procedures is shared between the DHS and the NRC under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which is reflected in 44 CFR Part 353, the final decision-making authority on the overall adequacy of emergency planning and preparedness rests with the NRC.
