uction or operation. Data in the ER should be adequate to make these determinations. With open access to transmission, it will not always be apparent where electrical generating benefits will occur or how they will be identified. The reviewer should carefully review the applicant’s analysis and be familiar with current utility Commission practice and policy. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES To determine benefits, the reviewer should perform the following steps: (1) Ensure that all appropriate plant production benefits have been identified and quantified. Ensure that quantification of these benefits is correct and is consistent with the staff’s findings in ESRP 8.4. (2) For other benefits, ensure the following: ` All relevant benefits have been identified and established. ` The quantification of each benefit is appropriate. ` The relative significance of each benefit has been established and is appropriate to the impact. Benefits should be described in a tabular format similar to Table 10.4.1-1. Extra columns and rows may be added as needed. (3) Base benefits on the description of the project as proposed by the applicant, including post application modifications made in response to staff assessments of measures to mitigate predicted environmental impacts. October 1999 10.4.1-5 NUREG-1555 If staff identified alternatives have not been adopted by the applicant, identify and analyze benefits for the project as proposed by the applicant. (4) Determine electricity generation and other plant-production benefits (e.g., steam production). (5) Identify and tabulate the other benefits of project construction and operation in consultation with the reviewers for ESRP Chapters 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0. Identify other benefits listed in the applicant’s ER and ensure that these potential benefits have been considered by the appropriate staff reviewer(s).
