ons of the early site permit. B. Standard Design Certification Reviews DC applications do not contain general descriptions of site characteristics because this information is site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.47(a)(1), a DC applicant must provide postulated site parameters for the design. However, the evaluation of Potential Accidents in the site vicinity is not applicable for their area of review. C. Combined License Reviews For a COL application referencing a certified standard design, NRC staff reviews the application to ensure sufficient information was presented to demonstrate that the characteristics of the site fall within the site parameters specified in the DC rule. Since there are no site parameters included in the DC related to this SRP section, this demonstration is not applicable here. For a COL application referencing an ESP, NRC staff reviews the application to ensure the applicant provided sufficient information to demonstrate that the design of the facility falls within the site characteristics and design parameters specified in the early site permit as applicable to this SRP section. In accordance with 10 CFR 52.79(b)(2), should the design of the facility not fall within the site characteristics and design parameters, the application shall include a request for a variance from the ESP that complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.39 and 10 CFR 52.93. In addition, long-term environmental changes and changes to the region resulting from human or natural causes may have introduced changes to the site characteristics that could be relevant to the design basis. In the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39 precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions on the early site permit at the COL stage. 2.2.3-7 Revision 3 - March 2007 Consequently, the staff’s review of a COL application referencing
