The AEC's present siting criteria results in the location of nu-clear power stations in areas with low population densities. The staf f does not believe that any major population growth or indus-trial development surrounding a nuclear station has occurred, other than the temporary condition created by construction ac-tivities.
l The electrical power produced by a nuclear station is distributed throughout an entire electrical distribution network, and indus-trial growth and development would be nost likely in areas where the zoning requirements, taxes, transportation, and labor market are favorable.
This growth could take place, if at all, anywhere within the applicants' service areas, and not just in the vicinity of the station.
l The Atomic Eneroy Commission and the regulatory staff have no juris-diction to encourage, limit, or otherwise control population growth l

or industrial development around a nuclear station or in any area.
This is the responsibility of the local townships, communities, and counties. As stated in Section 2.2.2 of the Final Environmental Statenent, the Ottawa County Planning Impiementation : Zoninn Study 1972 points out the desirability of zoning in Carroll and Erie Town-ships to control industrial development which may be attracted to the area by the presence of the Davis-Besse Station and its railroad link.
From a radiologica' standpoint, the environmental effects assumed l
in the Final Environmental Statement are the effects that would be I
experienced by the actual 1970 population within 0-50 miles of the station, assuming releases as listed in Tables 3.4 and 3.5 of the FES.
~The calculated additional radiation exposure resulting from these effluents to the population within 50 miles of the station is ap-proximately 22.6 man-rems / year above background.
If one were to project that a city the size of Toledo were to grow up in the im-mediate area (although highly improbable) the cumulative population dose would be increased by less than 8 man-rem / year (resulting in a total dose of 30.6. nan-rem / year). This would correspond to an aver-age dose to membe s of the hypothetical population of less than 0.02 i
mrem / year.

~.r 3-The naturally occurring background exposure for the 0-50 mile popu-lation for 1970 was approximately 2.800,000 man-rem / year.
It is the staff's evaluation that the additional radiation exposure of 22.6 man-rem / year or 30.6 man-rem / year does not result in an unacceptable environmental risk.
