on, including the exclusion area and the location of the plant within the area, in sufficient detail to enable the reviewer to evaluate the applicant’s 4 For applications before January 10, 1997 the requirements are identified in 10 CFR 100.10, and CFR 100.11. 2.1.1-4 Revision 3 - March 2007 analysis of a postulated fission product release, thereby allowing the reviewer to determine (in SRP Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 and Chapter 15) that the applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1) and 10 CFR Part 100. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with 10 CFR 100.20 (b)4 (for applications on or after January 10, 1997) requires that siting and plant design reflect the population density and use characteristics of the plant environs. 10 CFR 100.21 requires that the applicant determine an exclusion area of such size that an individual located at any point on its boundary for 2 hours immediately following onset of a postulated fission product release would not receive a radiation dose exceeding prescribed limits. 10 CFR 100.3 further define the exclusion area. The review performed under this SRP section determines whether the application contains information of sufficient accuracy, detail, and completeness to execute a determination of compliance with 10 CFR Part 100. The review further confirms that transportation corridors within the exclusion area do not interfere with normal plant operation. Compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34 (a)(1) as it relates to site evaluation factors identified in 10 CFR 100 (for CP applications), 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1) (for ESP applications), and 10 CFR 52.79(a)(1) (for COL application) ensures there that the application adequately describes the site on which the facility is to be located and its environs, including applicable site characteristics or site evaluation
