mmendations. Information and Analysis Content If the transmission lines that were built to connect the plant to the transmission system meet current NESC clearance standards, the ER should demonstrate that fact. The demonstration should take one of two forms, either (1) a calculation which demonstrates adherence to the NESC standard and a description of an ongoing program of power line ROW supervision and management aimed at ensuring that current electrical shock provisions of the NESC are met, or (2) a transmission line survey that develops the following information: • For those sites where transmission line characteristics, clearances, and human uses of the transmission corridor may not meet current NESC standards, describe measures that could be taken to meet the standards, the measures the applicant plans or proposes to undertake, and whether those measures will meet the standards. Consider basic electrical design parameters, including transmission design voltage or voltages, line capacity, conductor type and configuration, spacing between phases, minimum conductor clearances to ground, maximum predicted electrical field strength(s) at 1 meter above ground, the predicted electrical field strength at the edge of the ROW in kilovolts per meter, and the design bases for these values. • For any sites that will not meet the NESC clearance standards, explain in detail the rationale for concluding that the standards are not appropriate to the situation or the rationale for not making modifications to meet the standards. 14 The National Electric Safety Code®, 1997 Edition, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 1996. Section 23 deals with clearances. Section 232 deals specifically with clearances between above-ground conductors and human activities, equipment, and structures.
