1.8 Facility Modifications and History
Areas of Review
If the SAR describes a new facility, the reviewer need only eamine the relevant
history of applicant activities before the application and the SAR are submitted,
including any experience with other non-power reactors.
If the SAR is submitted as part of a license renewal application, the reviewer
should confirm the history of the facility, including amendments to the license, with
dates and purposes. The reviewer should also evaluate any significant changes in
the previous SAR conditions not requiring NRC approval under 10 CFR 50.59 or
other regulations. This discussion should include any significant facility
modifications and their effect on operations and releases of radioactive effluents to
unrestricted areas.
