Content:
e issues resolved in the environmental assessment (EA) prepared by the NRC for the referenced DC. Section C.2.15 addresses the finality of environmental issues for a COLA that references an ESP or DC. RG 4.2, “Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations,” provides guidance for the format and content of ERs. NUREG-1555, provides guidance to the NRC staff for review of ERs. Current interim staff guidance (ISG) addresses the NRC staff’s review of ERs. COL/ESP-ISG-026 is applicable to the review of all ESPs and COLAs and includes those applicants seeking an LWA. COL/ESP-ISG-027, offers supplemental guidance to the staff for environmental reviews in areas unique to small modular reactor (SMR) applications. Section C.2.17 provides additional guidance related to SMRs. The NRC staff plans to retire COL/ESP-ISG-026 and COL/ESP-ISG-027 once it completes its updates to RG 4.2 and NUREG-1555. C.1.4 Technical Specifications Part 4 of the application under 10 CFR Part 52 includes the technical specifications and the technical specifications bases. Requirements for technical specifications and the associated bases related to a COL and DC are set forth in 10 CFR 52.79(a)(30) and 10 CFR 52.47(a)(11), respectively, which reference the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36, “Technical Specifications,” and 10 CFR 50.36a, “Technical Specifications on Effluents from Nuclear Power Reactors.” There are no technical specification requirements for an ESP application; therefore, Part 4 is not applicable to an ESP application. For DC, the technical specifications required under 10 CFR 52.47(a)(11) that have been incorporated by reference in the DCR appendices A, B, C, D and E of 10 CFR Part 52 are referred to as “generic technical specifications”. A DC application shall include proposed generic technical specifications, as required by 10 CFR 50.36(a)(2), which should be derived from the analyses and evaluations included in the proposed DC FSAR.
