2 SITE CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Geography and Demography The July 1981 edition of'the SRP (NUREG-0800) includes Chapter 2)
^
Site Characteristics.
The River Bend Units 1 and 2 were reviewed in accordance with sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3 of the SRP.
The results of.this review are contained in Section 2.1 of.this SER.
2.1.11 Site Location and Description The River Bend nuclear plant is located on a 3342-acre site in east bank of the Mississippi River, West Feliciana Parish)on the A
A approximately 24 miles north-northwest of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Figures 2.1 and 2.2 show the g e'n e r a l region of the River Bend site, while Figure 2.3 shows the immediate site area.
l The site is a combination of heavily forested land and open fields with two general levels of elevation.
The lower level, about 35 f'eet MSL 6ean sea leve is an alluvial flood plain
^
l along the banks of the Mississippi River.
The upper level, about 100 fee ~'MSL, is a terrace on which the reactor and t
a0xiliary buildings were constructed.
l a
The coordinates of the River Bend Unit 1 are 30 45'26" north a
I latitude and 91 19'54" west longitude.
The universal transverse l
mercator coordinates are 3,403,705 m Northing, 659,678 m Easting.

2.1.2 Ex '.usion Area Authority and Control The applicant has defined the exclusion area as a circular area within a 3000 ft (914 m) radius from the reactors to the site boundary.
The plant boundary and the exclusion area ars shown in figure 2.4.
The entire exclusion arear including mineral r i g h, t s i is owned by the applicant.
There are no residents or recreational areas within the exclusion area.
The exclusion area is traversed by two r o a'd s, a railroad and a railroad ~ spur line.
The applicant has established adecuate emergency plans to contrcl traffic on these routes in the event of an emergency.
There is a' 75,000 square foot parcel of land owned by AT&T which is used for a microwave tower within the property owned by GSU.
The tower (shown in figure 2.4) is locatede howevere outside of the exclusion area boundary for the River Bend Station.
On the basis of the ownership of the land within the exclusion arear including the mineral rights, and because suitable arrangements.have been made to control. traffic on the roads and railroads, the staff concludes that the applicant has the authority to control all activities as. required by 10 CFR 100.
2.1.3 Population The River Send site is located in a low population density arear and,there are,no residences within a three-fourths mile radius of the reactor buildings.

.. a The largest' community within five miles is St.,Francisviller of Louisiana, which had a 1980 population 1284, a decrease from the 1970 population of 1452.
St. Francisville is located about three miles northwest of the. site.
Within 10 milese Zachary City 'is the largest communityr with a 1980 population of 7927 p e r s, o n s.
Zachary'is about nine miles southeast of the site.
The transient population within six miles is limited due to the rural character of the area.
The applicant has chosen a low population zone (LPZ) radius of 2.5 miles.
The applicant has indicated that the nearest densely 100) of 25,000 or more populated canter (asdefinedby 10 CFR A
persons is the city of Baton Rouger Louisiana (1980 copulation of 219,486), whose nearest boundary is about 16 miles south-southeast of the River Bend site.
The population center distance is at least one and one-third times the LPZ radius 0, ' O. s. ' L:.0 as required by 10 CFR 100.
1 It shoulc be noted that the applicant has not yet submitted the I
information which we. requested by providing the data in the l
l distance increments listed in the standard review plan.
We L
(
consider this to be an open item.
2.1.4 Conclusion On the basis of 10 CFRsEget 100 definitions of the exclusion arear low population zoner and the population center distancer we l'

2.2 Nearby Industrial, Transportation, and Military Facilities s
SRP (NUREG-0800) includes Chapter 2, The July 1981 edition ofA Site Characteristics, as well as Chapter 3, Design of Structures.-
Components, and Systems.
The River Bend Units 1 and 2 were reviewed in accordance with Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2 2.2.3, 3.5.1.5 and 3.5.1.6 of the SRP.
The results of this review are contained in Section 2.2 of this SER.
The nearest major road to the site is U.S.
Highway 61 which passes within 1 mile of the plant in the northern direction.
Police J.ury Roads a local router passes through the site and intersects Route 61 in two locations as shown in Figure 2.5.
The daily traffic count for Highway 61 was approximately 7900 vehicles (botn directions) in 1978.
The other local roads had less than 2000 vehicles per day.
The 5000 foot distance from U.S.
Route 61 is sufficient to preclude adverse effects on the plant from an explosive type incident on this route.
The nearest railroad is the Illinois Central G.ulf line which passes through the site.
A short spur line connects this line to the River Bend station.
T,hi's railroad company has indicated that hazardous materials are not normally carried on this section of the line north of Crown Zellerbach (see Figure 2.5).
The Missouri Pacific Railroad spur is used to O

This company has indicated that it had transpor:ed co hazardous materials in the past year.
The Kansas City Southern Louisiana and A rkansas Railroad Company WfAn would not indicate what hazardous materials, if anyi,em being transported on their line.
The four mile separation distance S k from their line to the reactor site is sufficient

to preclude explosive overpressures or toxic gas releases from endangering the nuclear facility.
The Mississippi River, 2 miles from the si:e is used' for y
A commercial barge traffic.
In 1977, approximately 124 million tons of cargo was transported between Baton Rouge and the Ohio River.
It is e.stimated that about 1/3 of this is potentially hazardous material.
The two mile distan:e between the plant and the river offers sufficient p r o t e c t i o r, against an explosive type incident during barge transportation.

The ctant control room is provided with a chlorine gas detector to isolate in the svent of transportation accidents (i.e. bargesi trucksi railcars)r or a release from storage at either the pcwer station or the Crown Zellerbach plant within 5 miles of the site.
The applicant has indicated that chlorine is the only toxic material in the vicinity of the site which represents a design basis for control room design features.
Howeveer the staff has determined that ammonia is currently being shipped in barges past the Grand Gulf siter upstream from the River Bend facility.
Hencer we'have requested that the applicant investigate and evaluate the barge transportation of ammonia past the River Bend site.
W e-consider this to be an open item.
Altnough the River Bend plant intake structure is located in an embaymente away from the main river channels barge traffic potentially could enter this area.
Howevere damage to the intake i
structure would not result in the loss of cooling water since there is sufficient water in the cooling t o w e r.s to permit a safe shutdown without adding river makeup water.
The accidental upstream release of oil or cryogenic liquids into the river will not present a hazard to plant cooling since the intake screens are located more i
than 10 feet below mean low water level and more than 20 feet below normal water level.

UtNM l The nearest commercial airport to the River Bend station is the Ryan Airport located at Baton-Rouge approximately 19 miles-southeast of the site.
There are no small public or private airport $within 5 miles of the River Bend station.
The applicant
.h indicates that there is no military airspace usage that might present a hazard to the River Bend plant.
The staff confirmed this by checking the latest (December 1982) Department of Defensa (DOD) area planning chart showing mi li ta ry t r'a ini ng TNG* CHANY routes for the eastern United States.

The only commercial route within a S-mile radius i s "l Airway V71, located approximately 2 1/2 miles east of the site.
The centerlines of V222.and V114N pass 7-miles northwest of the site and 8.5 miles northeast of the site, respectively.
At the request of the staff, the applicant examined the traffic along these routes and performed an analysis of the probability of an aircraft impacting the plant.
As a result of this analysis, the applicant concludes that the probability of an aircraft crash causing radiological consequences in excess of the guide-Line values in 10 CFR 100 is within the acceptance criteria of
~7 SRP (NUREG-0800) Section 2.2.3 (less than about 10 per year),
and is, thereforer acceptable.
