proposed and alternative sites are considered. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES Selection and emphasis of various aspects of the areas covered by this SRP section will be made by the reviewer on each case. The judgment on the areas to be given attention during the review is to be based on an inspection of the material presented, the similarity of the material to that recently reviewed on other plants, and whether items of special safety significance are involved. 2.1.3-2 Rev. 2 - July 1981 Determine that the population data contained in the SAR is in the detail and in the format described in Reference 3, Section 2.1.3. Compare the SAR present population data against whatever independent population data is available (e.g., Census Bureau CED tapes, special census which may have been conducted, local and state agencies, Councils of Government, etc). Note any significant differences which require clarification. Compare the SAR population projections against whatever independent population projections are available (e.g., local and state agencies and Councils of Govern- ment, Census Bureau projections, Bureau of Economic Analysis, etc). Note any significant underestimates in the SAR which require clarification. At the construction permit stage, use the population and its distribution, including weighted transients, projected to the year of plant startup and projected over the lifetime of the plant, to determine the population density in persons per square mile as a function of distance from the plant out to 30 miles. Compare results to the SAR plot of population density vs distance (Reference 3, Section 2.1.3.6). If the population density, including weighted transient population, projected at the time of initial operation exceeds 500 persons per square mile averaged over any radial distance out to 30 miles (cumulative population at a distance divided by the area at that distance), or the projected population density over the lifetime of the facility exceeds 1,000 persons per
