Construction Permit and Combined License Reviews The following statements should be preceded by a summary of the site characteristics and parameters used for the plant: As set forth above, the applicant has provided an acceptable description of current and projected population densities in and around the site. The staff has reviewed the information provided and, for the reasons given above, concludes that the population data provided is acceptable to meet the requirements of 2 For applications before January 10, 1997 the requirements are identified in 10 CFR 100.10 and 10 CFR 100.11. 2.1.3-8 Revision 3 - March 2007 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 52.79(a)(1), 10 CFR 100.20(a)2, 10 CFR 100.20(b)2, 10 CFR Part 100, and 10 CFR 100.3 with respect to determining the acceptability of the site for CPs and COLs.

In addition, the staff has reviewed and confirmed, by comparison with independently obtained population data, the applicant’s estimates of the present and projected populations surrounding the site, including transients. The applicant also has calculated the radiological consequences of design-basis accidents at the outer boundary of the low-population zone (SRP Chapter 15) and has provided reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken within the low-population zone to protect the population in the event of a radiological emergency. 2.
