wer should participate in any such evaluation of alternatives that would avoid the impact and that could be considered practical. If no such alternatives can be identified, the reviewer should provide this information to the reviewer for ESRP 10.1. If the staff relies on findings in the GEIS, appropriate statements of the following type should be included in the EIS: NUREG-1555 5.3.3.1-8 October 1999 The staff finds that the cooling system design and the environment in the vicinity of the site are within the ranges of designs and environments evaluated in the GEIS (NRC 1996) and that there are no apparent special circumstances of the site or design that would invalidate the generic conclusions related to environmental effects of heat dissipation to the atmosphere in the GEIS. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
