DG 4.2, Appendix C, Page C-1 APPENDIX C – Small Modular Reactor Design The guidance in this regulatory guide (RG) was developed primarily to provide guidance for the preparation of environmental reports (ERs) for license or permit applications for large light-water reactors (LLWRs). This appendix provides additional guidance for preparation of ERs for license or permit applications for light-water small modular reactors (SMR). An SMR is a reactor unit with a nominal output of 300 MW(e) or less that is able to be factory fabricated and transported to the site for assembly of components and operation. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has identified issues for which additional information should be provided to support
