Content:
due to the increased moisture and chemical content of the air, the nature and extent of these increases, and the significance of their potential environmental impacts to man’s activities in the site vicinity. If a potential impact is judged to be significant, this plan should provide a basis for evaluating appropriate mitigation measures or alternative heat-transfer-system designs. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include prediction and assessment of the following: ` length and frequency of elevated plumes ` frequency and extent of ground level fogging and icing in the site vicinity ` solids deposition (e.g., drift deposition) in the site vicinity ` cloud formation, cloud shadowing, and additional precipitation ` interaction of the vapor plume with existing pollutant sources located within 2 km of the plant ` ground level humidity increase in the site vicinity. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: NUREG-1555 5.3.3.1-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 1.2. If a natural draft cooling tower is used for heat dissipation, then obtain information as to whether the applicant has obtained FAA approval for construction of the tower if it extends more than 60.96 m (200 ft) above ground level. ` ESRPs 2.2.1, 2.5.3, and 3.1. Provide a choice of locations for which cooling system impact analyses should be performed. ` ESRP 2.7. Obtain appropriate meteorological data for evaluating cooling system impacts. ` ESRP 3.4. Obtain a description of the cooling system. ` ESRPs 5.1.1, 5.1.3, 5.2.2, 5.3.3.2 and 5.8.1. Provide a description of the heat dissipation system, including effluent quantities and visual impacts, in sufficient detail to permit the assessment of their effects on the terrestrial ecosystem and socioeconomic concerns. ` ESRP 5.10. Provide a summary of the recommended measures and controls required to limit adverse impacts of operating the heat dissipation
