ision to deny the associated CP or COL application as appropriate. DG-4026, Appendix A, Page A-4 A.5 Standard Design Certification The applicant for a standard design certification (DC), in accordance with 10 CFR 51.55, shall “submit with its application a separate document entitled “Applicant’s Environmental Report – Standard Design Certification.” The ER must “address the costs and benefits of severe accident mitigation design alternatives, and the bases for not incorporating severe accident mitigation design alternatives in the design to be certified.” The NRC staff will develop an environmental assessment (EA) based on the information provided in the ER for the DC. The requirements for the information to be included in an ER for a DC application are set forth in 10 CFR 51.55. For additional information on SAMDAs see Chapter 5 of Part C of this RG. A.6 COL Application Referencing Standard Design Certification As stated in 10 CFR 51.50(c)(2), if the COL references a DC, then the combined license environmental report may incorporate by reference the EA previously prepared by the NRC for the referenced design certification. If the DC EA is referenced, then the combined license environmental report must contain information to demonstrate that the site characteristics for the COL site fall within the site parameters in the DC EA.
