COL application) ensures there that the application adequately describes the site on which the facility is to be located and its environs, including applicable site characteristics or site evaluation factors, to evaluate potential exposures from unplanned releases of radioactive fission products. Meeting these requirements provides a level of assurance that an accidental release of fission products will be maintained within acceptable levels and that there is reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of an accident. 2. Compliance with 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1), and 10 CFR 52.79(a)(1) requires that the SAR include a description and safety analysis of the site on which the facility is to be located. The review performed in this SRP section ensures that the safety analysis contains a description of the site and environs that will enable the staff to evaluate the planned site and provide a level of assurance that plant design and operation will reflect site considerations in an manner adequate to minimize the consequences of an accident. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether data and analyses for the proposed site meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the data and analyses remain valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with these data. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique conditions. 2.1.1-5 Revision 3 - March 2007 These review procedures are
