Content:
y the nuclear facility licensee, and by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs), must be established. The size of the EPZ for a nuclear power plant shall be determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities. Acceptable guidance relating to the definition of EPZs is presented in NUREG-0396 (EPA 520/1-78-016) (Reference 8).24 D. Where an applicant for an operating license asserts that its inability to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) results wholly or substantially from the decision of State and/or local governments to not participate in emergency planning, an operating license may be issued if the applicant demonstrates those elements listed in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(1)(i)-(iii). Further guidance relating to the development, review, and evaluation of offsite radiological emergency response planning and preparedness in those situations in which State and/or local governments decline to participate in emergency planning is provided in Supplement 1 to NUREG-0654 (FEMA-REP-1), Rev. 1 (Reference 10).25 E. Insofar as emergency planning and preparedness requirements are concerned, a license authorizing fuel loading and/or low power testing and training may be issued after a finding is made by the NRC that the state of onsite emergency preparedness provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency. The assessment of the onsite emergency plan will be based on pertinent standards as established in 10 CFR 40.47(b) and Appendix E to 10 CFR 50. However, the acceptability of an applicant's onsite emergency plans will be reviewed against standards presented in 10 CFR 50.47(d)(1)-(7).26 F. NUREG-0654 (FEMA-REP-1) Rev. 1, provides guidance for complying with the Commission's regulations for developing both onsite and offsite emergency response plans. NUREG-0696 (Reference 11) discusses the facilities and systems to be provided
