Content:
OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique conditions. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria.

The staff should evaluate the methodology used to generate the population projections provided in the SAR. The population projections in the SAR should be compared with independent population projections, if such projections are available. The staff should note any significant underestimates of the projected population that require clarification. 2. Exclusion Area: Although the exclusion area will not normally contain any residents, if such residents do exist, they should be subject to removal if necessary in the event of an accident. The staff should evaluate the mechanism used to ensure the ready removal of the exclusion area residents, if necessary. 3.
