e observed deficiencies. RG 1.91 provides guidance for evaluating 16 postulated explosions on transportation routes near nuclear plants. Meeting these requirements provides assurance that the plant is adequately protected and can be operated with an acceptable degree of safety in the event of an accident caused by the presence of hazardous materials or activities on site and/or at nearby industrial, military, or transportation facilities.17 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES Selection and emphasis of various aspects of the areas covered by this review plan will be made by the reviewer on each case. The judgment of the areas to be given attention during the review is to be based on an inspection of the material presented, the similarity of the material to that recently reviewed on other plants, and whether items of special safety significance are involved. The following procedures are followed: 1. The reviewer should be especially alert, in the construction permit (CP) or early site permit stage of review, for any potentially hazardous activities in close proximity of the 18 plant since the variety of activities having damage potential at ranges under about 1 kilometer can be very extensive. All identified facilities and activities within 8 kilometers (5 miles) of the plant should be reviewed. Facilities and activities at greater distances should be considered if they otherwise have the potential for affecting plant safety-related features. At the operating license (OL) or combined license (COL) stage, 19 most hazards will already have been identified. Emphasis should be placed on any new information. At the operating license or COL stage, any analyses pertaining to 20 potential accidents involving hazardous materials or activities on site and in the vicinity 21 of the plant will be reviewed to ensure that results are appropriate in light of any new data or experience which is then available. Facilities which are likely to either produce DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 2.2.1-4 or
