REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s identification and tabulation of the benefits resulting from proposed project construction and operation. The reviewer may rely on an independent analysis of benefits by State or regional authorities, the applicant’s analysis, or prepare an independent assessment. If a review of the applicant’s analysis is conducted, the reviewer should ensure that the applicant’s assumption, data, and methods have been accepted by all reviewers for ESRP Chapters 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0. If reviewers have provided an independent analysis, the review in this ESRP should be modified accordingly. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include the plant average annual electrical-energy generation in kilowatt-hours (kWh), enhanced reliability of the electrical distribution system, technical benefits such as development of technology, the quantities of other products (e.g., steam) produced, and other benefits (e.g., increased regional productivity, tax revenues, new or improved recreational facilities) identified in previous environmental reviews. Benefits should be identified for the applicant’s proposed project and for any alternatives identified as appropriate and practical to mitigate predicted environmental impacts. The benefits of plant construction and operation should be summarized in tabular form similar to that shown in Table 10.4.1-1. Each benefit identified by the reviewer should be discussed in the text and presented in the table. NUREG-1555 10.4.1-2 October 1999 Table 10.4.1-1.
