AR for the potential reactor designs but is limited to Section 15.0.3 addressing the evaluation of the radiological consequences of design basis accidents. i. Chapter 17 is analogous to a COL FSAR but addresses the quality assurance applied to site- related activities for the design, construction, and testing of the potential future facility. C.1.3 Environmental Report Part 3 of the application under 10 CFR Part 52 includes the environmental report (ER). Requirements for the ER related to a COLA and ESP and DC applications are set forth in 10 CFR 52.80(b), 10 CFR 52.17(a)(2), and 10 CFR 52.47(b)(2), respectively, which reference the applicable sections of 10 CFR Part 51.
