REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The applicant's legal authority to determine all activities within the designated exclusion area is reviewed. 10 CFR Part 100, § 100.3(a) requires that a reactor licensee have authority to determine all activities within the designated exclusion area, including the exclusion and removal of personnel and property. In any case where the applicant does not own all the land, including mineral rights, within the designated exclusion area, assistance may be required of the Office of the Executive Legal Director (OELD) in determining whether or not the designated exclusion area meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 100. Also, in some cases public roads which lie within the proposed exclusion area may have to be abandoned or relocated to permit plant construction. OELD assistance may be required to assure that no legal impediments to such abandonment or relocation are likely to ensue. Part 100 permits the exclusion area to be traversed by a highway, railway, or waterway provided arrangements are made to control these areas in event of an emergency. Activities that may be permitted within the designated exclusion area, and that will not be related to routine operation of the plant, are reviewed. Review should include the type of activity, its specific location within the exclusion area, the number and kinds of persons engaged in the activity, and the frequency and length of time the activities are to be permitted. The Accident Evaluation Branch (AEB), upon request, will determine whether individuals associated with plant unrelated activi- ties within the exclusion area can be evacuated prior to receiving doses in excess of the guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100.
