Many of the emergency planning and preparedness requirements are a direct result of lessons learned from the TMI-2 accident.

These requirements are imposed to ensure that site-specific, design related, or comprehensive emergency plans and preparedness are addressed, consistent with the timing aspect and desired level of detail in the specific application. 5. Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 52 sets out the requirements applicable to issuance of ESPs for approval of a site or sites for one or more nuclear power facilities, separate from the filing of an application for a CP or COL. 10 CFR 52.17 and 10 CFR 52.18 identify required and optional site-specific emergency planning elements.

For major features of an emergency plan or complete and integrated emergency
