Site criteria

Code of Federal Regulations (lOCFR) part 100 provides reactor siting criteria. It specifies that the fission product release calculated for major hypothetical accidents shall produce a w hole... 

A number of medium- to long-term enviromnental monitoring networks and programs have been developed over the past 4 decades in the United States, all of which have had to deal with network design issues noted here. Some of these efforts are summarized in Table 5.3. As indicated in Table 5.3, some programs have emphasized random or partially random designs, whereas others have utilized nonrandom designs but based on specific site criteria.

Both networks, SLAMS and NAMS, use the same siting criteria as laid out by the US EPA, differentiating micro, middle, neighbourhood, urban, regional and national to global scale [13]. This differentiation is solely based on their spatial... 

In addition to the above site criteria, microscale requirements are set out within the European directive [17]. Traffic-related hot-spot sampling locations shall not be more than 10 m away from the edge of the traffic lane and should be representative of a road length of 100 m. The Directive [17] additionally gives further recommendations including distances from walls and sampling height. 

The developer should be invited to prepare a short brief concerning the proposal(s) including a list of key siting criteria, brief details of the proposed development, and the processes to be used when operational. Information available may be limited at this stage and the discussions are usually of a feasibility/evaluation nature. 

Interest in precipitation chemistry dates back to the 18th century, but only since 1977 has the U.S. established a national network for monitoring at a level sufficient to describe the chemical climate. The siting criteria, quality assurance, and standardized equipment and analytical methodology are addressed to insure the highest quality data for interpretative research. The national distribution of concentration and deposition for calcium, ammonium, chloride, nitrate, sulfate, and pH are shown in a series of maps. 

The Ministere du Developpement durable, de l Environncmcnt et des Parcs (Department of Durable Development, Environment and Parks) of Quebec provides three levels of generic criteria (www.mddep.gouv.qc.ca/sol/terrains/politique/annexe 2 tableau l. htm) for different substances background levels/quantification limit (Criteria A) maximum acceptable limit for residential, recreational, and institutional sites (Criteria B) and maximum acceptable limit for commercial sites not located in a residential area and for industrial sites (Criteria C). Criteria C for soils are 0.7 mg kg-1 for TNT and 0.03 mg kg-1 for 2,6- DNT whereas the respective Criteria C for groundwater are 120, 910, and 930 mg kg-1 for TNT, 2,4-DNT, and 2,6-DNT. In addition, surface water TNT... 

As the site-selection process proceeds, it is easy to lose sight of the ultimate goal to locate and build a facility in accordance with your strategic master plan. This is the only way that strategic master plan forecast results can be achieved. Resist the temptation to make compromises to the site criteria that will change the building s functionality. Your objective should be to build around the process, from the inside out. Stick to your plan.

In this period a diverse approach to plant siting developed and was consolidated in the USA and in Western Europe. In the USA, the plant siting criteria, as far as demographic aspects were concerned, were substantially decoupled from the design features of the plant. On the contrary, in Europe, criteria for the site-plant complex were adopted. The US site criteria (except for seismic problems and for other external natural or man-made events) can be summarised as follows ...
