REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis Branch (SAB)Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)1 Secondary - NoneMaterials and Chemical Engineering Branch (EMCB)2 I. AREAS OF REVIEW The site and its vicinity are reviewed for location and separation distance with respect to industrial, military, and transportation facilities and routes. Such facilities and routes include air, ground, and water traffic, pipelines, and fixed manufacturing, processing, and storage facilities., including onsite storage facilities for compressed or liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and propane. The review focuses on potential external hazards or hazardous materials that are 3 present or which may reasonably be expected to be present during the projected lifetime of the proposed plant. The purpose of this review is to establish the information concerning the presence and magnitude of potential external hazards so that the reviews and evaluations described in SRP Standard Review Plan (SRP) Sections 2.2.3, 3.5.1.5, and 3.5.1.6 can be 4 performed.
