REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s evaluation and input to the environmental impact statement (EIS) of the environmental risks of accidents involving radioactive material that can be postulated for the plant under review. The scope of this review should include dose consequence analysis for severe accidents, including the socioeconomic impacts and, where applicable, the impact to biota. This includes coordination with the reviewers of safety analysis report (SAR) Chapter 19, 10 CFR 50.34(f), the reviewers of the individual plant examination (IPE), and the individual plant examination of external events (IPEEE). The review directed by this plan includes consideration of a limited amount of plant specific data in sufficient detail to appropriately evaluate the dose consequences for severe accidents. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.4.1 and 2.4.2. Obtain a list of threatened and endangered species and critical habitats. ` ESRP 2.5.1. Obtain the estimated population data and distribution within an 80-km (50-mile) radius for a date 5 years from the time of the licensing action under consideration. NUREG-1555 7.2-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 5.4.1. Obtain information regarding the anticipated exposure pathways. ` ESRP 5.4.3. Obtain the dose consequences and health effects associated with normal operational releases. ` ESRP 5.8.3. Provide regions of impacts from the postulated accidents. ` ESRP 7.3. Provide a list of the dominant severe-accident sequences and dose consequences, including the initiating-event contribution to population dose and accident progression bin contribution to population dose. In addition, the reviewer of severe accidents should obtain input from reviewers of information covered in the following documents: ` SER Chapter
