RG 1.206 provides guidance regarding the information that is needed to ensure potential hazards in the site vicinity are identified and evaluated to meet the siting criteria in 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21.
The FSAR Section 2.2.2.7 does not provide this information adequately to review this section. The Staff's review indicates that there are more than three airports within 20 miles and numerous airports within the region of 50 mile radius (between 20 - 50 miles) of HAR site. Please either address these in the FSAR or give rationale for exclusion.
PGN RAI ID #: H-0039 PGN Response to NRC RAI:
A complete review was conducted of all airports located within the region of 50 miles of the HAR site using the.Charlotte Sectional Aeronautical Chart published by the FAA. The review confirmed that there are no airports located within an 8-km (5-mi.) radius of the plant site. There were a total of 62 airports located from this review. The breakdown of the 62 airports, specified by distance from the site, is listed in the following table.
Types of Airports within 50 Miles of the HAR Site Airport Type Number Within 5 Miles None None 5 - 10 Miles Public 1
Private 2
Military 0
10 - 20 Miles Public 2
Private 7
Military 0
20 - 50 Miles Public 11 Private 37 Military 2
Total 62 Operations were reviewed for all 62 airports and compared against movements per year (500d 2 and 1000d 2, where d equals plant-to-airport distance), per SRP (NUREG-0800), Section 3.5.1.6. The outcome determined that no public, private, or military airports from 10 to 50 miles from the HAR site had greater
Enclosure to Serial: NPD-NRC-2008-033 Page 3 of 8 than 1 000d 2 movements per year. Only one airport within 10 miles of the HAR site (Sanford-Lee County Regional) exceeded 500d 2 movements per year. Additional airport information will be added to Section 2.2.2.7 of the HAR COL Application in a future amendment.
The resulting changes are shown below.
Associated HAR COL Application Revisions:
The following changes will be made to HAR FSAR Chapter 2 in a future amendment:
- 1. Revise the first paragraph of FSAR Section 2.2.2.7 from:
"There are no airports located within an 8-km (5-mi.) radius of the plant site (Figure 2.2.2-201). Eight airports are located within the region of the HAR site. One major airport (RDU), one general aviation airport (Sanford-Lee County Regional Airport), and three privately owned airports (Deck Airpark, Cox Airport, and Triple W Airport) are in the immediate proximity of less than 32 km (20 mi.) from the plant site. Other airports that are greater than 32 km (20 mi.) from the project area are Pope Air Force Base, Moore County Airport, and Fayetteville Regional Airport. Only the RDU Airport is expected to grow substantially in the near future. See Table 2.2.2-202 and Table 2.2.2-203 for a summary of operations data for the airports within 32 km (20 mi.) of the plant site."
To read:
"There are no airports located within an 8-km (5-mi.) radius of the plant site (Figure 2.2.2-201). There are sixty-two airports located within the region (50 mi. radius) of the HAR site (Figure 2.2.2-201). Of the sixty-two airports located within the region, there are twelve airports within the immediate proximity of less than 32 km (20 mi.) from the plant site, which include one major public airport (RDU), two general public aviation airports (Sanford-Lee County Regional Airport and Triple W Airport), and nine privately owned airports. The nine privately owned airports are shown below (Reference 2.2-216):
Bagwell Barclaysville Field CAG Farms Cox Deck Airpark Eagles Landing Fuquay/Angier Field Moretz Riverside Landing Womble Field.
There are fifty airports located within the range of 32 km (20 mi.) and 80 km (50 mi.) from the project area, which includes two military airports (Pope Air Force Base and Simmons Army Airfield), eleven public airports, and thirty-seven privately owned airports. The eleven public airports are shown below (Reference 2.2-216) and the thirty-seven privately owned airports are shown on Figure 2.2.2-201:

Text of NRC RAI:
RG 1.206 provides guidance regarding the information that is needed to ensure potential hazards in the site vicinity are identified and evaluated to meet the siting criteria in 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21.
The FSAR Section 2.2.2.7 does not provide this information adequately to review this section. The NRC staff finds that the Sanford-Lee Country Regional Airport (TTA) is located approximately 8.7 miles west-southwest of the HAR plant site. On the basis of the applicant information provided with daily 129 aircraft operations, the projected annual operations for this airport estimated to be 47085 and would exceed the airport distance/operations criterion of 500d2 (500 x 8.7 x 8.7 = 37845) and therefore an evaluation of aircraft hazards should be performed in Section 3.5.1.6. Please check, address and evaluate appropriately.
PGN RAI ID #: H-0040 PGN Response to NRC RAI:
The Sanford-Lee County Regional Airport is located approximately 9 miles from the HAR plant site. Based on the location of the airport and the number of operations per year at the airport (47,085 from FSAR Table 2.2.2-202), an evaluation of the aircraft hazards will be performed in FSAR Section 3.5.1.6. After the evaluation is completed, the revision to FSAR Subsection 3.5.1.6 (to be added to the FSAR in a future amendment) will be submitted to the NRC by January 30, 2009.
Associated HAR COL Application Revisions:
The following changes will be made to the HAR FSAR in a future amendment:
- 1. Revise the first sentence of the third paragraph of FSAR Section 2.2.2.7 from:
"The Sanford-Lee County Regional Airport is located approximately 31 km (19 mi.) southwest of the plant location."

RG 1.206 provides guidance regarding the information that is needed to ensure potential hazards in the site vicinity are identified and evaluated to meet the siting criteria in 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21.
The FSAR Section 2.2.2.7 does not provide this information adequately to review this section. The NRC staff's review indicates that there is a military route, IR718, with a centerline approximately 1.4 miles north of the HAR site, whose nearest edge is less than 5 miles from the HAR site. Therefore, NRC Staff considers that the applicant should evaluate and address the aircraft hazards associated with this route in Section 3.5.1.6. Please evaluate or provide a justification for its exclusion.
PGN RAI ID #: H-0041 PGN Response to NRC RAI:
Military route IR718 is located within 2 miles of the HAR site. Therefore, an aircraft hazards evaluation of this military route will be conducted. After the evaluation is completed, the revision to FSAR Subsection 3.5.1.6 (to be added to the FSAR in a future amendment) will be submitted to the NRC by January 30, 2009.
Associated HAR COL Application Revisions:
The following changes will be made to the HAR FSAR in a future amendment:
- 1. Revise the last sentence of the second paragraph of Subsection 2.2.2.7 from:
"There are no active airways, including V-3-6B-J55 (shown on Figure 2.2.2-202) that fall within the plant location."
To read:

RG 1.206 provides guidance regarding the information that is needed to ensure potential hazards in the site vicinity are identified and evaluated to meet the siting criteria in 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21.
The FSAR Section 2.2.2.7 does not provide this information adequately to review this section. The NRC Staff's review indicates that there two Federal jet routes Airway J207 and J52-55,whose nearest edges are well within 2 miles of HAR site. Therefore, in accordance with the acceptance criteria 3.5.1.6, the aircraft hazards associated with these jet routes should be evaluated and addressed in Section 3.5.1.6.
Please evaluation, or provide justification for their exclusion.
PGN RAI ID #: H-0042 PGN Response to NRC RAI:
The centerline of Airways V3-66-155, J207 and J52-55 are located 5.5, 2.6 and 3.8 miles, respectively, of the HAR site. The boundary of each these airways is 4 nautical miles from the centerline. Thus, the outer boundary of each of these airways is within 2 miles of the HAR site. Therefore, an aircraft hazards evaluation of these airways will be conducted. After the evaluation is completed, the revision to FSAR Subsection 3.5.1.6 (to be added to the FSAR in a future amendment) will be submitted to the NRC by January 30, 2009.
