10. The review consists of an evaluation of the emergency planning and preparedness information submitted by the applicant, using the foregoing acceptance criteria. The reviewer must determine whether the applicable acceptance criteria identified in Subsection II (above) have been satisfactorily met. The reviewer should identify any deficiencies, and use them to form the basis for requests for additional information (RAIs), discussed below. The reviewer should discuss proposed RAIs or position statements with the appropriate project manager and technical manager. Such further review may result in a determination that (a) the acceptance criterion in question does not apply; (b) the applicant has proposed an acceptable alternative; (c) the proposed acceptance alternative is unacceptable; or (d) no acceptable alternative has been proposed or identified. For deviations from the specific acceptance criteria, the reviewer should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternative to the SRP criteria provides an acceptable method of complying with the relevant rules or regulations of the Commission, or portions thereof, that underlie the corresponding SRP acceptance criteria. The reviewer should make an explicit finding in the appropriate sections of the SER of how the proposed alternative meets the applicable regulations. If any deficiencies remain in category (c) at the conclusion of the review, the reviewer should follow established NRC processes to attempt to resolve them. 11.
