REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB)Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The applicant's legal authority to determine all activities within the designated exclusion area is reviewed. Title 10 CFR Part 100, "Reactor Site Criteria," Subpart 100.3(a) requires that a 2 3 reactor licensee have authority to determine all activities within the designated exclusion area, including the exclusion or removal of personnel and property.

Part 100 permits the exclusion area to be traversed by a highway, railroad, or waterway provided arrangements are made to control these areas in event of an emergency.
