§ 53.1109 Contents of applications; general information.
Each application must include, unless otherwise indicated in this subpart—
(a) Name of applicant;
(b) Address of applicant;
(c) Description of business or occupation of applicant;
(d)(1) If applicant is an individual, the citizenship of applicant;
(2) If applicant is a partnership, the name, citizenship and address of each partner and the principal location where the partnership does business;
(3) If applicant is a corporation or an unincorporated association, the following information:
(i) The State where it is incorporated or organized and the principal location where it does business;
(ii) The names, addresses and citizenship of its directors and of its principal officers; and
(iii) Whether it is owned, controlled, or dominated by an alien, a foreign corporation, or foreign government, and if so, give details; or
(4) If the applicant is acting as agent or representative of another person in filing the application, identify the principal and furnish information required under this paragraph (d) with respect to such principal;
(e) The class and type of license applied for, the use to which the facility will be put, the period of time for which the license is sought, and a list of other licenses, except operator's licenses, issued or applied for in connection with the proposed facility;
(f) [Reserved]
(g)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(2) of this section, if the application is for an OL or COL for a commercial nuclear plant, or if the application is for an early site permit for a commercial nuclear plant and contains plans for coping with emergencies under § 53.1146(b)(2)(ii), the applicant must submit the radiological emergency response plans of State, local, and participating Tribal governmental entities in the United States that are wholly or partially within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), 1 and the plans of State governments wholly or partially within the ingestion pathway EPZ. 2 If the application is for an early site permit that, under § 53.1146(b)(2)(i), proposes major features of the emergency plans describing the EPZs, then the descriptions of the EPZs must meet the requirements of this paragraph (g)(1). Generally, the plume exposure pathway EPZ for a commercial nuclear plant must consist of an area about 10 miles (16 km) in radius and the ingestion pathway EPZ must consist of an area about 50 miles (80 km) in radius. The exact size and configuration of the EPZs surrounding a particular commercial nuclear plant must be determined in relation to the local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by such conditions as demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries. The size of the EPZs also may be determined on a case-by-case basis for gas-cooled reactors and for reactors with an authorized power level less than 250 megawatt thermal. The plans for the ingestion pathway must focus on such actions as are appropriate to protect the food ingestion pathway.
1 EPZs are discussed in NUREG-0396, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 520/1-78-016, “Planning Basis for the Development of State and Local Government Radiological Emergency Response Plans in Support of Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants,” December 1978.
2 If the State, local, and participating Tribal emergency response plans have been previously provided to the NRC for inclusion in the facility docket, the applicant need only provide the appropriate reference to meet this requirement.
(2) Applicants for commercial nuclear plants consisting of either small modular reactors or non-light-water reactors complying with § 50.160 of this chapter who apply for a CP, an OL, a COL, or an early site permit under this part must submit as part of the application the analysis used to determine whether the criteria in § 53.1109(g)(2)(i)(A) and (B) are met and, if they are met, the size of the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
(i) The plume exposure pathway EPZ is the area within which:
(A) Public dose, as defined in § 20.1003 of this chapter, is projected to exceed 10 millisieverts (1 rem) total effective dose equivalent over 96 hours from the release of radioactive materials from the facility considering accident likelihood and source term, timing of the accident sequence, and meteorology; and
(B) Pre-determined, prompt protective measures are necessary.
(ii) If the application is for an OL or COL or if the application is for an early site permit and contains plans for coping with emergencies under § 53.1146(b)(2)(ii), and if the plume exposure pathway EPZ extends beyond the site boundary:
(A) The applicant must submit radiological emergency response plans of State, local, and participating Tribal governmental entities in the United States that are wholly or partially within the plume exposure pathway EPZ.
(B) The exact configuration of the plume exposure pathway EPZ surrounding the facility shall be determined in relation to the local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by such conditions as demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.
(iii) If the application is for an early site permit that, under § 53.1146(b)(2)(i), proposes major features of the emergency plans and describes the EPZ, and if the EPZ extends beyond the site boundary, then the exact configuration of the plume exposure pathway EPZ surrounding the facility must be determined in relation to the local emergency response needs and capabilities as they are affected by such conditions as demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries.
(h) [Reserved]
(i) A list of the names and addresses of such regulatory agencies as may have jurisdiction over the rates and services incident to the proposed activity, and a list of trade and news publications which circulate in the area where the proposed activity will be conducted and which are considered appropriate to give reasonable notice of the application to those municipalities, private utilities, public bodies, and cooperatives, which might have a potential interest in the facility; and
(j) If the application contains Restricted Data or classified National Security information, confirmation that all Restricted Data and classified National Security information are separated from the unclassified information.
