REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Siting Analysis 'Branch (SAB) Secondary - None | 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 identifica- tion 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 SAB reviews the applicant's assessment of aircraft hazards to the plant and 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 SAB identifies and describes the design basis aircraft in terms of aircraft weight, speed, and other appropriate characteristics. On request by SAB, the following branches with primary review responsibility will review specific aspects of aircraft hazards: 1. The Structural Engineering Branch (SEB), in the area of missile effects (SRP Section 3.5.3), with respect to aircraft impacts, 2. The Chemical Engineering Branch (CMEB), in the area of fire protection (SRP Section 9.5.1), with respect to aircraft fires, and 3. The Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB), in the area of structures, systems, and components (SSC) important to safety (SRP Section 3.5.2), with respect to protection requirements against aircraft crashes. Rev. 2 - July 1981 | USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of appficatlons to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies.
