EMERGENCY PLANNING 10 CFR Part 52, Subpart C, Combined Licenses (COLs) for Nuclear Power Plants Inspections, Tests, Analyses, & Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC)

D R A F T (12/15/03) B.MUSICO.doc Program Requirements1 Inspections, Tests, Analyses (ITAs)2,3 Acceptance Criteria4 A. Assignment of Responsibility - Organization Control - 10 CFR 50.47(b)(1)

Primary responsibilities for emergency response A.1.e5 Verification of implementation of A.1.e The licensee has provided for 24-hour per day by the nuclear facility licensee, and by state and emergency plans and/or inspections of emergency response, including 24-hour per day local organizations within the emergency emergency plan implementing procedures, staffing of communication links.

1 The Program Requirements represent the 16 planning standards from 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Section II of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1. The corresponding Acceptance Criteria are adaptations of various evaluation criteria from NUREG-0654, and encompass emergency planning (EP) program requirements that, by their nature, might not be met when the combined license (COL) application is submitted. In addition, applicable requirements from Appendix E of 10 CFR Part 50 are also included. The applicability of specific acceptance criteria will depend on the current status of the proposed site, as well as the content of the COL application. For example, an existing reactor site might already satisfy an acceptance criterion, such that the specific program requirement could be fully evaluated from the COL application, without the need for an ITAAC. NUREG-0654 evaluation criteria not included in this acceptance criteria listing would need to be fully addressed in the COL application.

2 The listed Inspections, Tests, and Analyses (ITAs) represent general verification methods for determining whether the various emergency planning acceptance criteria have been met. The COL application should provide specific inspections, tests and analyses (as appropriate), which will correspond to actual plans, procedures, organizations, etc.as well as to as-built/in-place facilities, systems, equipment and capabilitiesassociated with the proposed reactor design and site.

3 Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.97(b)(1), the licensee shall perform the inspections, tests and analyses (ITAs). The NRC, in accordance with 10 CFR 52.99, will ensure that the required (onsite) ITAs are performed by the licensee, and that the prescribed acceptance criteria are met. The NRC may also perform independent inspections as part of its verification and finding that the acceptance criteria are met. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has oversight for the offsite ITAs, to ensure that the prescribed acceptance criteria are met.

4 Any acceptance criteria changes would be addressed in accordance with 10 CFR 52.97(b)(2)(i).

5 The alphanumeric designations used in this guidance table of emergency planning ITAAC correspond to those in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1.

6 Shaded/* ITAs and Acceptance Criteria correspond to offsite emergency planning ITAAC evaluated by FEMA.

7 The offsite acceptance criteria assume state and local government participation. However, in the event state and local government organizations do not participate, the NRC and FEMA would apply 10 CFR 50.47(c)(1) to determine whether the acceptance criteria have been met. Supplement 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 (Criteria for Utility Offsite Planning and Preparedness) would be used as guidance associated with a utility plan.
