IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS IN SITE VICINITY REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of site hazards Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Chapter 2 of the SRP discusses the site characteristics that could affect the safe design and siting of the plant. The staff reviews information presented by the applicant for a construction permit (CP), operating license (OL), design certification (DC), early site permit (ESP), or combined license (COL) concerning the identification of potential hazards in the site vicinity. This SRP section applies to reviews performed for each of these types of applications. The review focuses on potential external hazards or hazardous materials that are present or may reasonably be expected to be present during the projected lifetime of the proposed plant. The purpose is to evaluate the sufficiency of information concerning the presence and magnitude of potential external hazards so that the reviews and evaluations described in SRP Sections 2.2.3, 3.5.1.5, and 3.5.1.6 can be performed. The review covers the following specific areas: 1. The locations of, and separation distances to, transportation facilities and routes, including airports and airways, roadways, railways, pipelines, and navigable bodies of water. 2. The presence of military and industrial facilities, such as fixed manufacturing, processing, and storage facilities. This area of review includes onsite storage facilities, such as compressed or liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and propane storage facilities. 1 Additional supporting information of prior DC rules may be found in DCD Tier 2 Section 14.3. 2 For CP applications before January 10, 1997, the equivalent requirements are identified in 10 CFR 100.10.
