REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of man-made site hazards Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Chapter 2 of the SRP discusses the site characteristics that could affect the safe design and siting of the plant. The staff reviews information presented by the applicant for a construction permit (CP), operating license (OL), design certification (DC), early site permit (ESP), or combined license (COL) concerning the applicant’s identification and evaluation of potential accident situations in the vicinity of the plant to determine the completeness of the applicant’s submittal and the bases upon which the design did or did not accommodate these potential accidents. The review considers the applicant’s probability analyses of potential accidents involving hazardous materials or activities on site and in the vicinity of the proposed site to confirm that appropriate data and analytical models have been used. This SRP section applies to reviews performed for each of the above mentioned types of applications. The review covers the following specific areas: 1. Hazards associated with nearby industrial activities, such as manufacturing, processing, or storage facilities. 2. Hazards associated with nearby military activities, such as military bases, training areas, or aircraft flights. 3. Hazards associated with nearby transportation routes (aircraft routes, highways, railways, navigable waters, and pipelines). 4. The following principal types of hazards will be considered with respect to each of the above areas of review: 1 Additional supporting information of prior DC rules may be found in DCD Tier 2 Section 14.3. 2.2.3-2 Revision 3 - March 2007 i.
