e consistent site terminology (e.g., “site,” “property,” or “project” boundaries) throughout the ER. The ER should include the following information relating to the external appearance and layout of the proposed plant: • topographic maps of the proposed site and vicinity showing the layout of the proposed plant relative to the site and vicinity; the exclusion area; site boundary; waterbodies; existing and planned roads, rail lines, and utility corridors; liquid and gaseous release points (and their elevations); meteorological towers; land to be cleared; waste disposal areas; and other buildings and structures (both temporary and permanent) associated with the proposed project; • the relationship between the proposed plant and any existing units, structures or facilities, including removal or modification of existing structures; • whether proposed and existing units would share any proposed or existing facilities or structures; • a description of the proposed plant including any aesthetic principles and concepts used in the design and layout of the proposed facilities, and any plans to seclude and screen the facilities and to architecturally integrate the buildings and landscaping into the environs; • representative ground-level photographs of the site on which major station features are superimposed; • a low, oblique aerial photograph of the site and vicinity on which major station features are superimposed; and • an architectural rendering of the proposed project to include landscaping and all major station features. 3.2 Proposed Plant Structures, Systems and Components A description of the overall proposed nuclear energy generating system is important for the evaluation of environmental impacts resulting from the proposed project. The rated and design core thermal power, the rated and design gross electrical output, and the rated and design net electrical output (in megawatts [MW]) should be stated. The rated power is defined as the power
