acre reservoir used for hydroelectric power generation and recreation, is located
12 miles south of the site as shown in Figure 2.1-201.
Fairfield County includes the incorporated towns of Ridgeway and Winnsboro;
Richland County includes the incorporated town of Blythewood. None of the
towns are within 10 miles of the site. According to the 2000 census survey,
Chapin, in Lexington County, which has a population of 628, is the largest
community within 10 miles of VCSNS (Reference 209). Figure 2.1-202 shows the
location of the VCSNS site and localities surrounding the site within 10 miles.
Access to the site is via I-26 and SC 215 to County Road 311. The Norfolk
Southern Railroad runs along the east bank of the Broad River and lies
approximately 4,320 feet west of Unit 2; just outside the site boundary.
Regionally, as indicated in Figure 2.1-201 and Figure 2.1-212, the site is
approximately 26 miles northwest of Columbia, South Carolina, 80 miles
southeast of Greenville, South Carolina, 90 miles south-southwest of Charlotte,
North Carolina, and 75 miles northeast of Augusta, Georgia. The nearest
Interstate highway, I-26 connecting Columbia, South Carolina with Spartanburg,
South Carolina, is located approximately 8 miles south of the VCSNS site.
2.1.1.2
Site Description
VCSNS is located within the Piedmont region; an area of gently rolling to hilly
terrain with relatively broad stream valleys. The site is situated on the southern
shore of the Monticello Reservoir (Figure 2.1-201), a 6,800-acre man-made
reservoir that includes a 300-acre recreational impoundment at the north end of
the reservoir (Monticello Sub-Impoundment).
The Broad River originates on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains near
Lake Lure, North Carolina, and flows 220 miles southeast into South Carolina
before joining the Saluda River at Columbia, South Carolina, to form the
Congaree River. This reach of the Broad River, impounded for a small, run-of-theriver hydroelectric plant, Parr Hydro, in 1914; is known as Parr Reservoir.
Originally 1,850 acres, the Parr Reservoir was enlarged to approximately 4,400
acres in 1977 by raising the level of the dam by 9 feet. This modification was
necessary to support the development of the Fairfield Pumped Storage Facility,
which was built on Frees Creek, a small tributary of the Broad River. The
Monticello Reservoir serves as the upper pool for the Fairfield Pumped Storage
Facility, as well as the cooling water source for all three VCSNS units (Reference
204).
The combined Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) covers approximately 2,600 acres
and is shown in Figure 2.1-203. The combined exclusion area consists of an area
within approximately 1 mile of the Unit 1 containment which converges with the
circular area located 3390 feet from the centroid between the Units 2 and 3
containments This area encompasses parts of the Monticello Reservoir and the
Fairfield Pumped Storage Facility. SCE&G owns all land within the combined
EAB, which also serves as the site boundary. For purposes related to the

operation of the nuclear facilities the plant property line is considered to coincide
with the site boundary.
There are no commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational, or residential
structures within the site area (Reference 203).
2.1.1.3
Boundary for Establishing Effluent Release Limits
As discussed in Section 2.1.1.2, a combined EAB has been established with Unit
1 as shown on Figure 2.1-203. There are no residents in this exclusion area.
For the purposes of representing airborne doses attributable to hypothetical
accident and normal releases from Units 2 and 3, a dose evaluation periphery has
been used and is also shown on Figure 2.3-221. As shown on that figure, the EAB
and the dose evaluation periphery coincide in the southern sectors. The dose
evaluation periphery as shown in Figure 2.3-221 is a 3,390-foot circle centered
between Units 2 and 3, and 2,640 feet from the power block area.
The 10 CFR 20 liquid effluent release limits for Units 2 and 3 apply at the point of
dilution in the blowdown discharge line; the liquid radwaste discharge is injected
into the blowdown discharge line at a point within the EAB.
All areas outside the combined EAB would be unrestricted areas in the context of
10 CFR 20.
Additionally, the guidelines provided in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I for radiation
exposures to meet the criterion “as low as reasonably achievable” would be
applied at the exclusion area boundary.
2.1.2
2.1.2.1
EXCLUSION AREA AUTHORITY AND CONTROL
Authority
The combined exlusion area ownership percentages vary for the singular EABs of
Unit 1 and for Units 2 and 3. Within the 1-mile exclusion area of Unit 1, SCE&G
has property ownership of 66 2/3 percent and the South Carolina Public Service
Authority (Santee Cooper) has ownership of 33 1/3%. For the half-mile Units 2
and 3 exclusion area, SCE&G has ownership of 55%, while Santee Cooper has
45% ownership. The overlap area for the exclusion areas of Units 2 and 3 and
Unit 1 will fall under the ownership arrangement established for Unit 1. All mineral
rights and easements associated with the property are under the ownership of
SCE&G or Santee Cooper, with the exception of one power distribution easement
in the Unit 1 EAB that was provided to Duke Energy. Pursuant to the VCSNS
owner’s agreement authorizing the development, construction, licensing, and
operation of additional generating units, SCE&G, for itself and as agent for the coowners, retains complete authority to regulate any and all access and activity
within the entire site combined EAB (Reference 203).

The VCSNS combined EAB will not be traversed by other than wholly owned land
accesses. The closest primary public road, SC 215, lies approximately 6,800 feet
east of the Unit 1 reactor building and is outside of the combined EAB. There are
no residents living within the combined EAB.
The Broad River is approximately 4,460 feet west of the Unit 2 containment and is
outside of the combined exclusion area. The closest railroad not owned by
SCE&G and Santee Cooper lies approximately 4320 feet to the west of Units 2
and 3 on the outside edge of the combined EAB. The southern portion of the
Monticello Reservoir lies within the combined EAB. The portion of the combined
EAB traversing the Monticello Reservoir is implanted with floating bottom-moored
buoys supporting “Nuclear Exclusion Area” signs.
A 68-foot right-of-way has been granted through the combined EAB for a 115kV
transmission line owned by Duke Energy. Terms of this agreement provide for
SCE&G to retain authority to determine all activities within the exclusion area.
SCE&G owns and maintains railroad facilities within the combined EAB as shown
in Figure 2.1-203. These facilities are used for receipt and shipment of carload
freight to and from the VCSNS site in accordance with an agreement between
Norfolk Southern and SCE&G. SCE&G is the sole authority for control and
operation of these rail facilities. (Reference 203)
2.1.2.2
Control of Activities Unrelated to Plant Operation
The Fairfield Pumped Storage Facility, shown in Figure 2.1-203, is the only area
within the site combined EAB in which activities unrelated to plant operation occur.
Personnel of this facility are limited to employees of SCE&G and, therefore, are
subject to administrative controls of the company. The pumped storage facility is
staffed by approximately 24 people during the day-shift. This number may
increase to 34 individuals in the future. The night/weekend-shift has two operators
for each shift, except for shift changes, when there are four operators. The
emergency plan provides for notifying any personnel working at the Fairfield
Pumped Storage Facility concerning the proper actions to be taken and
evacuation instructions in the event of an emergency. The estimated time to
evacuate all personnel from this facility is 10 minutes if the pumped storage facility
is not running and 20 minutes if the pumped storage facility must be shut down
(Reference 203).
SCE&G and Santee Cooper own all property within the combined EAB and have
the authority to determine all activities, including exclusion or removal of
personnel and property from the area.
SCE&G and Santee Cooper maintain the right to limit access to and control
evacuation from the site combined EAB.

Arrangements for Traffic Control
No land traffic control is necessary since no state or county roads, or railways
traverse the Units 2 and 3 combined EAB. The EAB bottom-moored buoys, which
are described in Subsection 2.1.2.1, are used to control recreational water traffic
on the Monticello Reservior.
2.1.3
POPULATION DISTRIBUTION
The population surrounding the VCSNS site, within a 50-mile radius, was
estimated based on the most recent U.S. Census Bureau decennial census data
(Reference 210). The population distribution is estimated in 10 concentric bands
at 0 to 1 mile, 1 to 2 miles, 2 to 3 miles, 3 to 4 miles, 4 to 5 miles, 5 to 10 miles, 10
to 20 miles, 20 to 30 miles, 30 to 40 miles, and 40 to 50 miles from Units 2 and 3,
and 16 directional sectors, each direction consisting of 22.5 degrees. The
populations for years 2010 through 2060 have been projected by calculating a
growth rate using state population projections (by county) as the base
(References 202 and 206).
2.1.3.1
Resident Population Within 10 Miles
Figure 2.1-204 shows the general locations of the municipalities and other
features within 10 miles of the VCSNS site. According to the 2000 census,
Chapin, which had a 2000 population of 628, is the largest community within 10
miles of the site. Other towns within the 10-mile radius include Little Mountain
(2000 population of 255), Peak (61), and Pomaria (177) (Reference 210). Peak
lies within 5 miles of the VCSNS site. The small communities of Jenkinsville and
Monticello also lie within 5 miles of the VCSNS site, but population data for these
communities is not included in the published census data.
The resident population distribution within 10 miles of the site was computed by
overlaying the 2000 census block points data (the smallest unit of census data) on
the grid shown on Figure 2.1-205, and summing the population of the census
block points within each sector. SECPOP 2000, a code developed for the NRC by
Sandia National Laboratories, was used to calculate population by emergency
planning zone sectors (Reference 214). SECPOP uses 2000 block data from the
U.S. Census Bureau and overlays it into the sectors in the annuli prescribed by
the user. The 2030 population projections for each county within 50 miles of the
VCSNS site were obtained from the South Carolina Budget and Control Board
and the North Carolina State Data Center, and was used to calculate an
exponential growth rate over 30 years. Each county growth rate was then used to
project future populations (within each sector, taking into account the percent of
each sector in a particular county).
The population distributions (including transient population) and related
information were tabulated for all distances and in all 16 directions. Figures 2.1205 through 2.1-211 show the resident and transient population for the year 2000
and projected populations (by decade) through the year 2060. Each figure also
shows totals by direction and by radius (ring populations). The SECPOP 2000 and

Resident Population Between 10 and 50 Miles
The 50-mile radius centered at the VCSNS site includes all or parts of 21 counties
in South Carolina and one county in North Carolina. The closest population center
to the site is the corporate limit of Columbia, South Carolina, measured at
approximately 14.5 miles southeast of the VCSNS site (see Figure 2.1-212).
Columbia’s population was 116,278 in year 2000 (Reference 210). Estimates of
the year 2000 resident population between 10 and 50 miles from the VCSNS site
were computed using the same methodology used to develop the 10-mile
population distribution.
The population grid from 10 to 50 miles is shown on Figure 2.1-212. The 50-mile
population distributions for the years 2000 through 2060 (by decade) are shown
on Figures 2.1-213 through 2.1-219. Totals for each year are as follows:

Transient Population
2.1.3.3.1
Transient Population Within 10 Miles
The area within 10 miles of the site is predominantly rural and characterized by
farmland and wooded tracts of land. Suburban development is prevalent south of
I-26 between Little Mountain and Irmo, South Carolina. There are no population
significant commercial or industrial facilities in the area other than VCSNS. Given
the mostly rural setting and lack of significant commercial or industrial facilities
within 10 miles of the site, the transient employment population is more likely to
move out of rather than into the area. There are no operating hotels, bed and
breakfast establishments, prisons, hospitals, or farms using migrant workers
within 10 miles of the VCSNS site.

Recreational use is considered the primary contributor to the transient population
in the area. Hunting, fishing, and boating can be experienced on three statedesignated wildlife management areas located on the Broad River as well as Parr
and Monticello Reservoirs (Reference 207). Six boat ramps were identified—
three providing access to the river and three providing access to the two
reservoirs (References 201 and 211). Camping can be experienced along the
Broad River at the Enoree District of the Sumter National Forest and a private
facility in Jenkinsville near the Monticello Reservoir (Reference 201). Primitive
camping is also allowed at the Monticello Sub-Impoundment. There are no figures
available on the use of these boat ramps or campsites. It was assumed that there
are eight picnic sites in the 10-mile radius, consistent with the number of boat
ramps and county parks. Forty hunters are assumed to occupy hunting sites
within the 10-mile radius, including sites at the Mayo Creek and Blue Hole Hunt
Clubs on the SCE&G property at VCSNS.
Given the rural setting and proximity to regionally dominant recreational
opportunities beyond the 10-mile radius such as Lake Murray and the city of
Columbia, it is assumed that recreating within 10 miles of the VCSNS site will be
performed primarily by local residents. The South Carolina Department of Parks,
Recreation, and Tourism reports that approximately 90% of participation in
outdoor recreation occurs in an area close to a resident’s home (Reference 208).
Most of the recreational opportunities within 10 miles of the site are outdoor
activities.
It was assumed that a maximum of 320 people could be recreating (hunting,
fishing, boating camping, and picnicking) on the Broad River and the Parr and
Monticello Reservoirs on a weekend day. This estimate is based on 120 people
boating (20 people for each of the six boat ramps), 80 people camping (40 twoperson campsites), 80 people picnicking (eight 10-person picnic areas), and 40
people hunting (20 two-person hunting sites). The South Carolina Department of
Parks, Recreation, and Tourism identified 90% of recreators as residents, and
therefore 10 percent would be transients. The percentage of transients was
doubled for conservatism, resulting in 76 transients on a weekend day. This
represents 20% of the 320 people recreating (64) plus 12 people generated from
rounding fractions of people to whole number. The 10-mile transient population
was added to the resident distribution and projected for future years (Figures 2.1205 through 2.1-211). The baseline (2000) transient population distribution is as

It was estimated that the number of people recreating within 10 miles of the
VSCNS site to be 33,800 people per year, 20% of which (6,760) are assumed
transients. The annual estimate is based on a maximum of 320 people recreating
on each weekend day and 80 people on each weekday (1,040 people per week)
during the peak season of the year. Twenty-five percent of this seasonal peak is
assumed for the remaining nonpeak months (260 people per week or 6,760
people annually).
2.1.3.3.2
Transient Population Between 10 and 50 Miles
A small transient employment population is expected given the economic
influence of Columbia’s metropolitan area, the state government headquarters,
the University of South Carolina, and Fort Jackson. The economics of the 50-mile
region are mostly independent of any other large metropolitan areas with the
exception of the Rock Hill area, which is a bedroom community near Charlotte,
North Carolina.
Recreational use is considered the primary contributor to the transient population
in the area. Cities and towns in the area include Columbia, Greenwood,
Lexington, Rock Hill, Camden, Newberry, Union, Batesburg, Lancaster, and
Winnsboro. Significant lakes in the area include Lake Murray, Lake Greenwood,
and Lake Wateree, and rivers in the area include the Broad, Saluda, Catawba,
Congaree, and Wateree. There are also 11 state parks, three state wildlife
management areas, the Enoree and Long Cane Districts of the Sumter National
Forest, and a national park (Congaree National Park) in the area. The University
of South Carolina and Fort Jackson are both located in the city of Columbia. Each
of these locations provides recreational opportunities for visitors to the area. The
city of Columbia and Lake Murray provide the greatest recreational opportunity in
the area.
In 2003, the state of South Carolina collected data on visitation to the Capital City/
Lake Murray Country area that indicated 2.6 million visitors spent 6.9 million
2.1-8

Part 2, FSAR
visitor days in the region annually. Of that number, 42% were from South Carolina
and 44% indicated their reason for travel was business. Therefore, approximately
1.5 million visitors were from out of state and roughly 1.5 million visitors were
visiting the area for reasons other than business. The top destination was the city
of Columbia (83%). The top recreational activity was shopping (23%). Outdoor
activities made up 14% (i.e., beach, historic places, national and state parks,
outdoors, and water sports) (Reference 205).
It was conservatively estimated that a peak number of approximately 203,000
visitors could be present in the area on a summer day, possibly the Independence
Day holiday, in the Capital City/Lake Murray Country area. This number was
generated assuming a 50% increase in the 135,000 participants in the annual
Independence Day celebration (one of the largest celebrations in South Carolina)
(Reference 208). Using the 58% out-of-state visitor statistic as the transient
percentage, it is estimated that the maximum number of transients on any given
day in the Capital City/Lake Murray Country area is approximately 117,000
(Reference 205).
2.1.3.4
Low Population Zone
The low population zone (LPZ) for the VCSNS site is the same as the LPZ for
Unit 1 and consists of the area falling within a 3-mile radius of Unit 1. Figure 2.1204 shows the LPZ in relation to Units 1, 2, and 3.
The community of Jenkinsville lies within the LPZ, as well as portions of the Parr
and Monticello Reservoirs. No industries, quarries, hospitals, schools, or prisons
are known to exist within the LPZ, as determined using geographic information
system data. In addition to VCSNS, Parr Hydro and Fairfield Pumped Storage
Facility (both SCE&G-owned plants) lie within the LPZ.
The resident and transient population distributions within the LPZ for each decade
from 2000 through 2060 are shown on Figures 2.1-205 through 2.1-211. Because
it is centered on Unit 1, the population sectors are offset from the LPZ. Although a
small portion the LPZ extends into Newberry County, population projections were
made using only the growth rate calculated for Fairfield County. At least 95% of
the LPZ population resides in Fairfield County. Newberry County’s growth rate is
slightly higher than Fairfield’s, but this reflects faster growing areas such as the
town of Newberry. The portion of the LPZ that falls in Newberry County is rural
and most likely has a similar growth rate to Fairfield County. The population within
the LPZ for the years 2000 through 2060 is as follows:

2.1.3.5
Population Center
The nearest population center to the VCSNS site with more than 25,000 residents
is the city of Columbia, South Carolina, with a 2000 population of 116,278
(Reference 210). The closest point of Columbia’s corporate limit to the VCSNS
site was measured at approximately 14.5 miles to the southeast (Figure 2.1-212).
This distance is over seven times the distance from the center of Units 2 and 3 to
the closest LPZ boundary, and 4.8 times the radius of the LPZ (because the LPZ
is centered on Unit 1). Both of these distances meet the requirement that the
population center distance be at least one and one-third times the distance from
the reactor to the outer boundary of the LPZ (10 CFR 100.11(a)(3)).
2.1.3.6
Population Density
Given a conservative startup date of 2020, and an operational period of 40 years,
operations could extend until 2060. Figure 2.1-220 shows the cumulative
population in year 2000 within 30 miles of the site and projected cumulative
populations in years 2020 (startup date) and 2060 (end of operations). On the
same figure, spanning the same radial distances, population curves are calculated
for hypothetical densities of 500 people per square mile and 1,000 people per
square mile.
Figure 2.1-220 demonstrates that the population density at the startup date (2020)
and for approximately five years thereafter, including transients, over any radial
distance out to 30 miles, would not exceed 500 people per square mile. The
results conform to the guidance in Regulatory Guide 4.7, Regulatory Position C.4
(Reference 213) and NRC Review Standard RS-002 (Reference 215).
Similarly, the expected population density out to 30 miles would not exceed 1,000
people per square mile over the lifetime of Units 2 and 3 (through 2060). The
results conform to the guidance in NRC Review Standard RS-002 (Reference
215) and Regulatory Guide 1.70 (Reference 212).
