Content:
site meets the radiological consequence evaluation factors identified in Section 50.34(a)(1). The results of the applicant’s radiological consequence dose calculation are provided in Table [ ], and the PPE values and the site-specific χ/Q values used by the applicant and the staff are listed in Tables [ ] through [ ]. The staff reviewed the radiological consequence analyses submitted by the applicant and finds that the PPE values that are inputs to these analyses are not unreasonable based on information provided by the applicant, on the staff’s experience in evaluating similar parameters, and on the staff’s confirmatory investigation and evaluation. To verify the applicant’s radiological consequence analyses, the staff performed its confirmatory radiological consequence dose calculation using the site-specific χ/Q 15.0.3-17 March 2007 values and the PPE source term values provided by the applicant, and the staff finds that its results are within the radiological consequence evaluation factors identified in Section 50.34(a)(1). Although the staff performed its independent radiological consequence dose calculation as a means of confirming the applicant’s results, the staff’s approval of the ESP is based on the applicant’s analyses. Therefore, the staff concludes that the distances to the EAB and the LPZ outer boundary of the [name] site, in conjunction with the source term and the fission product release rates from the site to the environment provided by the applicant, are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the total radiological consequences of the design basis accidents will be within the dose evaluation factors set forth at 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1). This conclusion is subject to confirmation at the combined license (COL) stage that the relevant design parameters specified by the applicant in the COL application are bounded by the applicant’s PPE submitted with the ESP application. 3.
