REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description of plant water use (e.g., circulating water system, sanitary waste system, radwaste and chemical waste systems, and service water systems). The scope of the review directed by this plan includes descriptions of the quantity of water required for plant operation, the amount of water consumed by the plant water systems, and the amount of water discharged to a water body. Variations in water requirements and consumption on a temporal basis and as a function of plant operating modes should be included. Where water use for station operation is greater than plant water use, these uses should also be included. The review should be in sufficient detail to provide basic data for other reviews dealing with the evaluation of plant operational impacts. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: • ESRP 3.3.2. Provide data on plant or station water requirements in sufficient detail to support the analysis in ESRP 3.3.2. • ESRP 3.4.1. Obtain descriptions of the plant cooling system and operational modes. NUREG-1555 3.3.1-2 October 1999 • ESRPs 3.4.2, 3.5, 3.6, 4.2.1, and 4.2.2. Provide plant water use data. • ESRPs 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.3, and 6.6. Provide plant or station water use data requirements in sufficient detail to support the assessments given in those sections. • ESRP 9.4.1. Provide plant water consumption data as needed for analyses and evaluations of plant or component alternatives. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential impacts. The data should be in sufficient detail to trace the flow of water from the water supply
