Content:
gn parameters for reducing electric shock potentials to moving vehicles, such as school buses and tractor trailers (from the ER) ` maximum predicted noise levels at the edge of rights-of-way resulting from transmission system operation, and the bases for these predictions (from the ER). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of transmission system impacts on man are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 51.53(c)(3)(ii)(H) with respect to assessing shock hazard impacts of transmission systems. Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` Regulatory Guide 4.2, Rev. 2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations (NRC 1976), identifies the level of detailed description needed to evaluate impacts from land use, the construction and maintenance of these structures and their rights-of-way, and potential hazards to aerial navigation ` National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) (1997) with respect to shock hazards. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for evaluating the applicant’s potential impacts to members of the public from operation and maintenance of the proposed transmission system is discussed in the following paragraphs: Electric power is transferred through transmission systems from the nuclear facility in which it is generated to the power grid through which it is transmitted to the users. Impacts on members of the public resulting from the operation and maintenance of the proposed transmission system may occur as a result of corridor maintenance procedures, visual aspects, noise, electrostatic effects, or electromagnetic effects. Evaluating the adequacy of this material addressing potential impacts requires that data on the power transmission system are sufficient to predict the overall impact of operation and maintenance activities on the transmission lines and corridors to the public.
