Content:
10 CFR 100.21(c)(2). 3. Design Certification Reviews The following statement should be preceded by a list of the applicable short-term (post-accident) site parameters used for the plant: The applicant has selected the short-term (post-accident) site parameters referenced above for plant design inputs (a subset of which is included as Tier 1 information), and the staff agrees that (except for the control room χ/Q values) they are representative of a reasonable number of sites that have been or may be considered for a COL application. The short-term atmospheric dispersion characteristics for accidental release are site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. This should include the provision of information sufficient to demonstrate that the design of the plant falls within the values of the actual site characteristics specified in a COL or CP application. 2.3.4-14 Revision 3 - March 2007 V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and licence applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. VI.
