impact, consult with reviewers for the appropriate ESRPs 5.1.1 through 5.8.3, the reviewers for ESRPs 9.4.1 through 9.4.3, and the EPM to identify mitigation measures. Note those impacts for which no appropriate measures and controls to limit the impact can be identified. (5) Prepare a table similar to Table 5.10-1 to compare potentially adverse operational impacts with the applicant’s commitments for measures and controls to limit the impacts. Identify adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated or for which mitigation is not practical. (6) Confirm that the operational impacts, when considered on a site-specific basis, are adverse and should be mitigated. ` Make this determination through consultation with the appropriate reviewers for ESRPs 5.1.1 through 5.8.3. ` Take into account experience gained from the review of operational data from other plants having similar impacts. ` Ensure that adequate documentation is available to support the staff conclusions with respect to the nature and severity of those impacts requiring mitigation. (7) Confirm that the available measures and controls to limit each impact have been evaluated to verify that a practical level of mitigation can be achieved by these methods and controls. ` Confirm that each measure and control is reasonable, i.e., involves methods and techniques that are appropriate and achievable on a site-specific basis. ` Confirm that the measures and controls are specific and unambiguous, and are structured so that their application and results can be verified through subsequent field reviews and inspections. (8) Confirm that environmental, economic, and social costs of the available measures and controls have been balanced against the benefits expected. ` Consult with appropriate benefit-cost reviewers in conducting this portion of the evaluation. Benefit-cost reviews cannot be used as a basis for noncompliance with NRC regulations. ` When mitigation techniques do not lead to an improvement in the overall
