Content:
om the environmental report [ER]) ` engineered safety features ` the planned average irradiation level of spent fuel, in megawatt days/ton (from the ER) ` a description of the turbines and condensers. For the condensers, include tubing material and total heat transfer area (from the ER). ` the rated and design core thermal power, the rated and design gross electrical output, and the rated and design net electrical output (in megawatts). The rated power is defined as the power level at which each reactor will be operated if licensed, and the design power is defined as the highest power level that would be permitted by plant design. The gross electrical output is the power level meas- ured at the output terminals of the generator and expressed in MWe. The net unit electrical output is equal to the gross electrical output minus the nominal service and auxiliary loads (from the ER). ` a simplified flow diagram for the reactor-power conversion system (from the ER). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for evaluating the description of the reactor and plant system are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 52.17 with respect to the number of units, type, and thermal-power level associated with the proposed facility ` 10 CFR 51.52 with respect to the environmental effects that arise from the transportation of fuel and waste from the facility. Note: Evaluation of transportation issues per Table S-4 should make use of the design power levels and projected actual burn up rate rather than those identified in Table S-4. October 1999 3.2-3 NUREG-1555 Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` Regulatory Guide 4.2, Rev. 2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations (NRC 1976), with respect to the inclusion of information concerning the reactor-power conversion system. ` Generic determinations have been made that the environmental effects of transportation of
