ew of ESRP 10.4.2. ` This tabulation should include costs for each of the environmental impacts and other costs determined by the reviewer for ESRP 10.4.2. ` This should also include the environmental costs of alternatives for measures and controls to mitigate adverse impacts that have not been adopted by the applicant. NUREG-1555 10.4.3-4 October 1999 (4) Consider the following characteristics of each environmental cost in this analysis: ` the environmental effect ` the impact expected, quantified if possible ` the relative significance of the cost and impact as compared to similar resources available in the region, quantified if possible. (5) Consider any environmentally preferable alternative identified by the reviewers for ESRPs 9.2 and 9.3 (which, if adopted by the staff, would imply recommended denial of the application to construct a nuclear power plant). ` Provide the benefit-cost balance for these alternatives to determine if any may be considered as obviously superior to the proposed project. ` Similarly assist the reviewers for ESRP 9.4 to determine if any environmentally preferable alternative plant or transmission-system component would have a benefit-cost balance that warrants its being recommended as an alternative to the proposed component. (6) Review the tabulation of the staff’s assessments of the environmental costs and benefits of the project as proposed by the applicant and establish the reasonableness, accuracy, and completeness of the tabulation. This tabulation forms the baseline from which the acceptability of costs and benefits of additional requirements should be established. (7) Review the modifications identified by the staff in terms of absolute and relative environmental improvement and absolute and relative additional cost to the utility and community. (8) Express the environmental modifications and costs in various manners and units to ensure that the relative significance is expressed in the most useful perspective for
