changed or may in fact be reduced from those summarized in Table S-4 (Baker et al. 1988; 53 FR 30355 [NRC 1988]; NRC 1996). The impacts of transportation of fuel irradiated to 62,000 megawatt-days per metric ton have also been considered and found to be bounded by those summarized in Table S-4 ( NRC 1999a, 64 FR 48496) The reviewer should instruct the reviewers for ESRPs 5.4.2 and 7.4 to adopt this table as representing the environmental impacts of radioactive materials transportation. (4) When any of the above criteria are not met, expand the analysis of the required data to the level nec- essary to provide sufficient data to support a subsequent impact analysis that would supplement the impact data of Table S-4. The reviewer should notify the reviewers for ESRPs 5.4.2 and 7.4 that Table S-4 cannot be used and that a supplemental impact assessment will be required. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS When the reviewer determines that the environmental impacts of transportation can be met by use of Table S-4, a brief input to the environmental impact statement (EIS) should be prepared summarizing the data of Section III, Item (1) of this ESRP. The input should note that these data are within the scope of 10 CFR 51.52(a), and that ESRPs 5.4.2 and 7.4 will address the impacts of radioactive-material transpor- tation by reference to Table S-4 of 10 CFR 51.52(c). When Table S-4 cannot be used, the reviewer should provide, as input to the EIS, a description of those proposed designs or procedures that do not October 1999 3.8-5 NUREG-1555 meet the criteria of Section III, Item (1) of this ESRP. This material should be provided in sufficient detail to support a subsequent impact assessment by the reviewers for ESRPs 5.4.2 and 7.4. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of
