REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The site and its vicinity are reviewed for location and separation distance with respect to industrial, military, and transportation facilities and routes. Such facilities and routes include air, ground, and water traffic, pipelines, and fixed manufacturing, processing, and storage facilities. The review focuses on potential external hazards or hazardous materials that are present or which may reasonably be expected to be present during the projected lifetime of the proposed plant. The purpose of this review is to establish the information concerning the presence and magnitude of potential external hazards so that the reviews and evaluations de- - scribed in SRP Sections 2.2.3, 3.5.1.5, and 3.5.1.6 can be performed. Control room habitability with respect to toxic chemicals is reviewed in SRP Section 6.4 by the Accident Evaluation Branch (AEB) as part of its primary review responsibility. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 10 CFR Part 100 §100.10 requires that site acceptance be based on the consideration of factors relating to the proposed reactor design and the characteristics peculiar to the site. One of the factors involves the use characteristics of the site envi- rons. In accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, §50.34, the applicant is required to submit in the preliminary and final safety analysis reports (PSAR and FSAR) infor- mation needed for evaluating these factors. Guidelines for specific information requirements are described in Chapter 2, Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.70. The information submitted by the applicant is adequate and meets the 10 CFR Part 50, §50.34 and 10 CFR 100, §100.10 requirements and RG 1.70 guidelines if it satisfies the following criteria.
