the storage and transport of input and output materials (uranium ore, UF6, UO2, etc.), fresh and spent fuel and radioactive wastes.

  1. The possible non-radiological impact of the installation, due to chemical or thermal release, and the potential for explosion and the dispersion of chemical products shall be taken into account in the site evaluation process.

  2. The potential for interactions between nuclear and non-nuclear effluents, such as the combination of heat or chemicals with the radioactive material in liquid effluents, should be considered.

  3. For each proposed site the potential radiological impacts in operational states and in accident conditions on people in the region, including impacts that could lead to emergency measures, shall be evaluated with due consideration of the relevant factors, including population distribution, dietary habits, use of land and water, and the radiological impacts of any other release of radioactive material in the region.

  4. For nuclear power plants, the total nuclear capacity to be installed on the site should be determined as far as possible at the first stages of the siting process. If it is proposed that the installed nuclear capacity be significantly increased to a level greater than that previously determined to be acceptable, the suitability of the site shall be re-evaluated, as appropriate.

      1. Reactor Site Criteria in the u.S.

Requirements for siting nuclear installations in the U.S. are set forth in the Federal Register 10 Part 100 (10CFR Part 100). The 10CFR Part 100 was revised in December 1996. The requirements are subdivided into Subpart A for operating reactors and Subpart B for new reactors. Subpart B applicable to new reactors (subject to application after January 10, 1997) takes into consideration the following factors in the evaluation of a reactor site:

  1. Population density and use characteristics of the site environs, including the exclusion area, the population distribution, and site-related characteristics must be evaluated to determine whether individual as well as societal risk of potential plant accidents is low, and that physical characteristics unique to the proposed site

that could pose a significant impediment to the development of emergency plans are identified.

  1. The nature and proximity of man-related hazards (e.g., airports, dams, transportation routes, military and chemical facilities) must be evaluated to establish site parameters for use in determining whether a plant design can accommodate commonly occurring hazards, and whether the risk of other hazards is very low.

  2. Physical characteristics of the site, including seismology, meteorology, geology, and hydrology.

  • The criteria and nature of investigations required to obtain the geologic and seismic data necessary to determine the suitability of the proposed site and the plant design basis.

  • Meteorological characteristics of the site that are necessary for safety analysis or that may have an impact upon plant design must be identified and characterized.

■ Factors important to hydrological radionuclide transport (such as soil, sediment and rock characteristics, adsorption and retention coefficients, ground water velocity, etc.) must be obtained from on-site measurements. The maximum probable flood along with the potential for seismically induced floods must be estimated using historical data.

Subpart B also sets forth the following requirements with respect to the population density distribution and radiological dose in the event of a postulated accident as follows:

  1. Every site must have an exclusion area and a low population zone.

  2. The population center distance must be at least one and one-third times the distance from the reactor to the outer boundary of the low population zone.

  3. Site atmospheric dispersion characteristics must be evaluated and dispersion parameters established such that:

  • Radiological effluent release limits associated with normal operation from the type of facility proposed to be located at the site can be met for any individual located offsite; and

  • Radiological dose consequences of postulated
