Content:
Provide information specific to operational aspects of cooling system siting. ` ESRPs 5.2.1 and 5.2.2. Provide cooling system characteristics in sufficient detail to support the assessment of impacts to water use. ` ESRP 5.3.1.1, 5.3.1.2, and 5.3.2.1. Provide descriptions of the cooling system. ` ESRP 5.3.4. Provide a description of the cooling system and its operational modes and components, including estimated noise levels. ` ESRP 6.1. Provide thermal aspects of the cooling system of the proposed plant. ` ESRPs 6.5.1 and 6.5.2. Provide a description of the cooling system and its operation modes to support evaluation of monitoring programs. 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 following data or information should be obtained: ` a system description (from the environmental report [ER]) ` descriptions of anticipated operational modes and the estimated periods of time that the system will operate in each mode (from the ER) ` for each anticipated operational mode, quantities of heat generated, dissipated to the atmosphere, and released in liquid discharges (from the ER) October 1999 3.4.1-3 NUREG-1555 ` for each operational mode, water source and quantities of water withdrawn, consumed, and discharged (from the ER) ` the status of the NPDES permit and any 316(a/b) demonstrations (from ESRP 1.2). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of the cooling system for potential environmental impacts are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 52.17 (a)(1)(v) with respect to early site permits related to the type of cooling systems, intakes, and outflows that may be associated with the facility ` 10 CFR 50.34 with respect to a description and analysis of the structure, systems, and components of the facility.
