REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description of the reactor and electric generating equipment. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes the type(s) and size(s) of reactors and electrical generating equipment and their major performance parameters. This information should support subsequent environmental reviews that assess operational impacts and commitments of resources. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 3.4.2. Provide information on the reactor and plant system description and performance parameters as they pertain to the cooling system. ` ESRP 3.8. Provide data on the basic reactor, fuel, and irradiation level that are required by paragraph (a) of 10 CFR 51.52. ` ESRP 5.3.2. Provide a description of cooling system materials that could be transported to the aquatic environment. NUREG-1555 3.2-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 10.2. Provide input for the list of irreversibly committed materials to be used in the reactor- power conversion system. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential impacts. The following data or information should be obtained: ` the number of units and description of each reactor, including type, e.g., boiling-water reactor (BWR), pressurized-water reactor (PWR), high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR), vendor, architect-engineer, contractor, fuel assembly description, total quantities of uranium, and percentage 235U enrichment (from 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.
