REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting AnalysisPlant Systems Branch (SAB)(SPLB)1 Secondary - NoneCivil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)2 I. AREAS OF REVIEW The staff reviews the applicant's assessment of aircraft hazards. The purpose of the review is to assure that the risks due to aircraft hazards are sufficiently low. Probabilistic considerations may be used to demonstrate that aircraft hazards need not be a design basis concern. Otherwise, design basis aircraft identification is made and the applicant's plant design is evaluated to assure that it is protected against the potential effects of aircraft impacts and fires. The SABSPLB reviews the applicant's assessment of aircraft hazards to the plant and 3 determines whether or not they should be incorporated into the plant design basis. If the aircraft hazards are incorporated into the plant design basis, the SABSPLB identifies and describes the 4 design basis aircraft in terms of aircraft weight, speed, and other appropriate characteristics. For design certifications, aircraft hazards may be included in the site parameter envelope that must be met by the plant design. For review of such applications, the SPLB reviews the applicant's assessment aircraft hazards and their incorporation into the design basis. For applications referencing a certified design that includes aircraft hazards in its site parameter envelope, SPLB reviews site specific hazards for consistency with that envelope.5 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 3.5.1.6-2 Review Interfaces:6 The SPLB also performs the following reviews under the SRP sections indicated: On request 7 by SAB, the following branches with primary review responsibility will review specific aspects of aircraft hazards:8 1. The Structural Engineering Branch (SEB), in the area of missile effects (SRP Section 3.5.3), with respect to aircraft impacts,9 21. The Chemical Engineering Branch (CMEB)SPLB , in the area of reviews fire 10 11 protection (SRP Section 9.5.1), with respect to
