DG-1350, Page 24 GLOSSARY Consequence- oriented The principle of basing decisions of the extent of EP required upon the level and severity of the consequences of a credible radiological accident occurring. Hostile action As defined in Section IV.A.7 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, an act directed toward a NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Non-light-water reactor A nuclear power reactor using a coolant other than light water. Non-power production or utilization facility A production or utilization facility, licensed under 10 CFR 50.21(a), 10 CFR 50.21(c), or 10 CFR 50.22, as applicable, that is not a nuclear power reactor or production facility as defined under paragraphs (1) and (2) of the definition of Production facility in § 50.2. Performance- based The principle of basing the adequacy of EP and planning upon the NRC’s identification of emergency response functions that affect the protection of public health and safety and the licensee’s successful execution of those functions. Small modular reactor A power reactor, licensed under 10 CFR 50.21 or 50.22 to produce heat energy up to 1,000 megawatts thermal (MWt), which may be of modular design as defined in 10 CFR 52.1. Site boundary As defined in 10 CFR Part 20, “Standards for Protection Against Radiation,” (Ref. 20), specifically Section 20.1003, that line beyond which the land or property is not owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee. Technology- inclusive The principle of establishing performance requirements
