REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s assessment of impacts resulting from the storage or disposal of mixed radioactive wastes and to direct the staff’s preparation of a summary of these impacts. Mixed waste contains both hazardous waste and radioactive source, special nuclear, or byproduct material as defined in the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954 (42 USC 2011 et seq.). The scope of the review directed by this plan should include the following: ` identification of plant systems producing mixed waste ` assessment of mixed waste storage plans, capabilities, and resulting impacts ` assessment of mixed waste disposal plans or capabilities. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 3.5. Obtain a list of potential sources of mixed waste. NUREG-1555 5.5.2-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 5.10. Provide a list of measures and controls to limit adverse impacts from the storage of mixed wastes that are to be considered in the licensing process. 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: ` descriptions of systems that create mixed wastes, including quantities of waste produced (from the environmental report [ER], requested from the applicant, or from the reviewer for ESRP 3.5) ` anticipated disposal plans for the mixed wastes (i.e., disposal at a mixed waste disposal facility, shipment to a treatment facility, or storage onsite) (from the ER or requested from the applicant) ` estimated environmental impacts, including health effects resulting from exposure to the chemical constituents as well as those resulting from radiological
