Changes to Requirements for Environmental Review for Renewal of Nuclear Power Plant Operating Licenses. 64 Federal Register (September 3, 1999). October 1999 3.2-5 NUREG-1555 APPENDIX A SAMPLE FORMAT FOR ESRP 3.2 The proposed plant will consist of ________ and auxiliaries. The power source will be a ______ reactor supplied by ____________. The operation of the reactor is illustrated in Figure _________. In the pri- mary loop, water under high pressure (so it cannot boil) is pumped through the reactor core where it is heated by contact with fuel rods containing uranium. The heated water passes through the steam genera- tors where the heat is transferred to the secondary loop, and then returns to the core. In the steam genera- tors, water in the secondary loop is heated to boiling. This steam drives a turbine-generator system, is liquefied in the condenser, and returns to the steam generators. The condenser is cooled by __________. Approximately ______ m2 of _________ heat transfer surface is exposed to the cooling water. The reactor has ________ primary loops and _______ secondary loop(s). The turbine-generator system will be manufactured by ____________. _________ is the architect-engineer. At design conditions, the plant will generate ________ MWe net electrical power and will reject ______ MWt waste heat to the environment. More detailed operating parameters are listed below. The initial fuel loading will be _____ kg of enriched uranium dioxide pellets contained in ______ tubular fuel rods. OPERATING PARAMETERS Rated Conditions Core thermal power, MWt Gross electrical generation, MWe Station service requirement, MWe Net electrical output, MWe Waste heat rejected, MWt Efficiency, % Design Conditions Core thermal power, MWt Gross electrical generation, MWe Station service requirement, MWe Net electrical
