ted construction activities in 2001, conduct full- construction activities over the period 2001 to 2005, and begin commercial operation in 2007. The major documents used in preparing this EIS were the applicant’s ER, Design Certification 52-10, the preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR), and supplements thereto. Independent calculations and sources of information were also used as a basis for the assessment of environmental impact. In addition, some of the information was gained from a visit in January 2000 by the staff and the contractor supporting the staff to the station site and surrounding areas. Public scoping meetings were held in Lincoln and Washington, D.C. Public hearings were held before and after completion of the draft statement, and the public was invited to comment on the draft statement. Notices of these opportunities for participation in the process were published in newspapers and broadcast on radio and television. Advertisements of these were sent to representatives of Native American tribes and to churches in areas of minority and low-income populations. Although the staff examined data from all of these sources in making their assessments, only summaries of the most pertinent data are given in this statement. To avoid repetition, the staff provides references to the sources of detailed information, much of which is found in the applicant’s ER. As a part of its safety evaluation, the Commission conducts a detailed evaluation of the applicant’s plans and equipment for minimizing and controlling the release of radioactive materials under both normal operating conditions and postulated potential accident conditions, including the effects of natural NUREG-1555 1.1-6 October 1999 phenomena. Inasmuch as these aspects are considered fully in other documents, only the salient features that bear directly on the anticipated environmental effects are repeated in this EIS. Copies of this draft EIS and the applicant’s ER are available for public
