e power system, factors associated with the power demand and supply, and an assessment of the need for power. ` ESRP 9.2.3. For each alternative established as competitive, provide the reviewer with a description of the energy source/plant combination. This should include the basis for the staff’s conclusion and sufficient design/performance data to permit the subsequent comparison of the alternative with the proposed project. Data and Information Needs The kinds of data and information needed will be affected by site and regional factors as they concern availability of the alternative energy sources, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the technological status of the alternatives or combinations of alternatives. If an analysis meeting the preceding criteria is not available, the following data or information should be obtained: ` For alternatives that have not yet achieved commercial acceptance, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research, development, and demonstration/commercialization schedules and projected capability as a source of central station power. Information on many of these technologies is available from DOE’s Internet site, currently listed as http://www.doe.gov/. October 1999 9.2.2-3 NUREG-1555 ` For nonrenewable fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum fuels), the fuel quality, availability to the applicant, rate of consumption estimates, potential environmental restrictions and impacts, and emissions and definition of U.S. national policy, if any, with respect to new uses of these fuels. ` For renewable fuels (wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, wood waste and municipal solid waste, energy crops, and solar), availability to the applicant, quantities needed, potential environmental restrictions, amount of land that would be occupied, and amount of the fuel available. For these alternatives, the reviewer should obtain the extent of the resource, environmental restrictions and impacts, licensing constraints, status of
