Content:
pplications may be received that neither reference a certified design nor use the PPE approach. For example, an application may reference a “standard” design that is not yet certified, or a custom design. In such cases, the staff reviews the radiological consequences of potential DBAs in six parts: (1) review of selected bounding design basis accidents, (2) review of accident source terms, (3) review of the major structures, systems, and components of the facility that bear significantly on the acceptability of the site for mitigating the radiological consequences of a DBA under the radiological consequence evaluation, (4) review of the characteristics of fission product release from the site to the environment, (5) review of the meteorological characteristics of the proposed site, and (6) review of the total calculated radiological consequence dose at the EAB and LPZ from the bounding DBAs. The application must contain sufficient nuclear plant design information for the staff to review in making a determination regarding the acceptability of the proposed site using the radiological consequence evaluation factors identified in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1). 5. COL Applications that Reference Standard Reactor Designs Certified by NRC and ESP Issued by NRC. Should the site characteristic short-term χ/Q values specified in the 1Additional supporting information of prior DC rules may be found in DCD Tier 2 Section 14.3. 15.0.3-3 March 2007 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). However, the application must contain sufficient information regarding control room habitability for the staff to make a determination regarding the acceptability of the proposed control room design using the radiological dose acceptance criteria specified in GDC 19. 6.
