Also include estimated effects of fuel source preparation on fuel characteristics, quantities of water required, and quantities of wastes produced. ` in the case of coal or other solids as the preferred alternative to the proposed project, need for combustion-product solid waste disposal, including the quantities of wastes produced and disposal methods and locations for deposition of solid waste ` need for flue-gas desulfurization, the process to be used, and (on an average daily basis), the raw material inputs and byproduct and/or waste product outputs and means of waste disposal NUREG-1555 9.2.2-6 October 1999 ` average daily atmospheric releases of carbon dioxide (CO2) and pollutants of concern regulated under the Clean Air Act (including total suspended particulates [TSP], sulfur oxides [Sox], and nitrogen oxides [NOx]. (5) For alternatives that have been determined to be competitive, the reviewer should ensure that sufficient data are available to permit the reviewer of ESRP 9.2.3 to compare the environmental costs of these alternatives with costs of the proposed project. (6) For each alternative established as noncompetitive, a brief statement should be prepared describing or identifying the alternative and the basis for the staff’s conclusion that it was noncompetitive. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Input to the environmental impact statement (EIS) review should be directed toward accomplishing the following objectives: (1) public disclosure of the alternative energy sources considered, (2) presentation of the basis for the staff analysis, and (3) presentation of staff conclusions for each alternative energy source considered. The depth and extent of the input to the EIS should be governed by the alternatives or combination of alternatives that are found to be economically viable. The characteristics of the alternatives should be described in sufficient detail that a decision can be reached regarding environmental impacts. The NRC staff evaluation should
