icinity of the plant. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for evaluating the applicant’s demographic description is discussed in the following paragraphs: Regulations 10 CFR 100.10(b) and 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1) require that detailed population density and use characteristics of the site environs be developed. Reasonably detailed information about the demographic characteristics of the site environs in ques- tion is required to assess any potential social or economic impacts that might occur as a result of plant construction or operation. Data in the ER must be adequate to make these determinations. Demographic data are also necessary to assess the impact of both routine and accidental releases to the environment. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES To analyze the population distribution within an 80-km (50-mi) radius of the proposed site, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Prepare population distribution charts that provide population data for both permanent and transient populations as they presently exist and as predicted at the time of plant startup and for 10-year NUREG-1555 2.5.1-4 October 1999 increments reaching 40 years from the latest decennial census; present the data as shown in Table 2.5.1-1.

(3) Review the following: ` data used to update the basic decennial census data ` the methods used to establish population data within 80 km (50 mi) of the site ` the applicant’s methods for population projections. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Input from this ESRP to the EIS input should include the following: ` a
