eview for acceptability of the TSC. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. 15.0.3-9 March 2007 These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 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 that the content and intent of technical specifications related to the plant features intended to mitigate the radiological consequences of postulated design basis accidents are acceptable and consider any identified unique conditions. 1. ESP applications that reference standard reactor designs certified by NRC A. In the evaluation using Section 2.3.4 of this standard review plan, the staff reviews the applicant’s meteorological data, inputs, assumptions, and dispersion model used to estimate the site-specific short-term atmospheric dispersion estimate (χ/Q) values in the ESP application. B. The staff compares the site-specific short-term χ/Q values in the ESP application with short-term χ/Q values postulated in the reactor design certification. C. If the site-specific short-term χ/Q values fall within those postulated in the design certification, no further radiological consequence evaluation is needed. D. If the site-specific short-term χ/Q values exceed those postulated in the design certification, the staff verifies that the applicant has demonstrated that the radiological consequences associated with the bounding DBAs using the applicant’s site-specific short-term χ/Q values meet the radiological
