t-term χ/Q values specified in the ESP to confirm that the site-specific short-term χ/Q values are bounded by those short-term χ/Q values postulated in the reactor design certification based on the proposed plant design, the plant location on the site, and the fission product release points. In the event that the site-specific short-term χ/Q values exceed the bounds of those postulated in the referenced design certification, the staff verifies that the COL applicant has demonstrated that the radiological consequences associated with the bounding DBAs using its site-specific χ/Q values continue to meet the radiological consequence evaluation factors of 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1). In addition, the staff determines that the radiation protection design of the control room is acceptable if the total calculated 15.0.3-11 March 2007 radiological consequences for the postulated fission product release fall within the exposure acceptance criteria specified in GDC 19 of 5 rem TEDE for the duration of the accident. 3. COL applications that reference both an ESP and a standard reactor design certified by NRC A. The staff verifies that no changes from the site-specific short-term χ/Q values specified in the ESP application have occurred due to changes in plant design, plant location on the site, building orientation, or fission product release points. B. Should the site-specific characteristic short-term χ/Q values specified in the ESP fall within the postulated short-term χ/Qs for the chosen certified design, the staff concludes that the COL applicant has satisfied the radiological consequence evaluation factors identified in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1). C. If the site-specific short-term χ/Q values do not fall within the postulated short-term χ/Q values for the chosen certified design, the staff reviews the applicant’s radiological dose calculations and performs independent confirmatory radiological consequence dose calculations using the site-specific short-term χ/Q values and
