f. 30). As a result of the revised rule, the environmental impacts of the continued storage of spent fuel (beyond the licensed life of the plant), are deemed incorporated into an EIS for a new reactor review. As part of the basis for the analysis in NUREG-2157, the NRC staff assumed that an independent spent fuel storage installation of sufficient size to hold all of the spent fuel from operations would be built during the licensed life of the plant. The applicant should be cognizant of the analysis in NUREG-2157, and should provide a discussion of its plans for management of spent fuel during the licensed life of the plant. VIII. Presentation of Applicant Information Information and data should be discussed in qualified terms within the ER, and appropriate background information and data should be provided in or with the application at a level sufficient for the NRC staff to make an impact level determination. The applicant should describe and provide the following data and information: • geographic information and geospatial data used to support analyses, including appropriate description of the data formats and sources of the information; • data formats used to create figures and maps; and • description and documentation of any computer modeling codes that are used to support analyses in sufficient detail to allow the NRC staff to reproduce the model results. Information obtained from publications or other information from the literature should be concisely summarized and documented using references to original data sources. Where the availability of original sources that support important conclusions is limited, the sources should be adequately summarized in the application and should be available for auditing in the applicant’s records. In all cases, information derived from published results should be clearly distinguished from information derived from the applicant’s field measurements. The information the NRC uses to conduct and inform its NEPA
