Content:
full-time onsite employment and refueling outage employment (i.e., the total number of full-time applicant and contractor employees). The ER should also provide information on the average duration of refueling outages (number of weeks) and their frequency (number of months). The ER should provide projections of the incremental increase in onsite work force required for refurbishment activities associated with license renewal. The applicant should present the employment figures for refurbishment and refueling outages by the amount of time (days or months) and peak employment. This section should also include projections of any changes anticipated in the permanent work force during the license renewal term and identify modifications in the work force arising from changes in SMITTR activities. For refurbishment and for the renewal term, the applicant should estimate the number of temporary and permanent incremental workers migrating to the site and their dependents, including school-age children, and their anticipated residential distribution. The applicant should estimate the indirect employment resulting from changes in the full-time and temporary work forces. This section should identify any employment multipliers that the applicant used and their source, with any additional information needed to verify the appropriateness of the multipliers. Using an estimate of average household size for the region, the applicant should estimate the change in total population associated with license renewal. The applicant should also estimate the residential distribution of the total (direct and indirect) incremental permanent and temporary populations by county, city, or town. Absent better information, the applicant may assume that the residential pattern will be the same as that of the current permanent work force. 2.6 Alternatives to the Proposed Action In deciding whether to approve the renewal of a license, the NRC will consider the environmental impacts of alternatives as
