F- a> Environmental ReviewProcess Update
Key Objectives
. Present process developed for identifying "new-and-significant" information in COLA ER
* Present planned COLA ER content organization
" Suggest potential future COLA ER topics fordiscussion
Decefter 7, 2006 Joint AP1000-ESBWR DCWG Meeting 11
COLA ER: Overall Content* Content governed by proposed 51.50(c)(1) requirements
n] (i) Information to demonstrate that the design of the facility falls withinthe site characteristics and design parameters specified in the early sitepermit;
oi (ii) Information to resolve any significant environmental issue that wasnot resolved in the early site permit proceeding;
o] (iii) Any significant new information for issues related to the impacts ofconstruction and operation of the facility that were resolved in the earlysite permit proceeding; and
o (iv) A description of the process used to identify new and significantinformation regarding the NRC's conclusions in the early site permitenvironmental impact statement. The process must use a reasonablemethodology for identifying such new and significant information.
o (v) A demonstration that all environmental terms and conditions thathave been included in the early site permit will be satisfied by the dateof issuance of the combined license.
* Format will follow NUREG-1555

COLA ER New and SignificantInformation Process - Approach
. COL Applicant will utilize the ESP FEIS as thebaseline to implement the N&S process
" Similar to License Renewal use of GElS in theapproach to N&S information
" Consistent with N RC Workshop discussions ofApril 20-21 and May 17-19

COLA ER Process Used to IdentifyNew and Significant Information
Step 1: Identify Issues Resolved in ESP FEIS" COL applicants referencing an ESP include any
new and significant information for issues relatedto the impacts of construction and operation of thefacility that were resolved in the ESP proceeding(SECY 06-0220, pg 7)
* COL Applicant will utilize as a baseline the FEIS toIimplement the N&S process

COLA ER Process Used to IdentifyNew and Significant Information.
Step 2: Document FEIS Key Inputs (informationused by NRC to make FEIS determination)m Careful review of FEIS conclusions and stated
assumptions
m This would include FEIS Appendix J, NRC StaffAssumptions Relevant to the Analysis of Impacts
m Based on the above review, document results inan auditable form, e.g., table of FEIS Key Inputs
December 7, 2006 Joint API 000-ESBWR DCWG Meeting 16
COLA ER Process Used to IdentifyNew and Significant Information
Step 3a: Screen FEIS Key Inputs for the following:m Information subject to change during the time
elapsed since the FEIS was issued
m Assumptions which may no longer be valid
Step 3b: Identify New Key Inputsm New information that could have an impact on an
NRC FEIS conclusion- not considered in FEIS; and
- not generally known or publicly available during thepreparation of the FEIS

COLA ER Process Used to IdentifyNew and Significant Information
Step 4: Determine Appropriate Tasks to IdentifyNew Information
* For example:" Check websites" List potential regulatory agencies or non-governmental
organizations to contact
5: Perform Tasks Identified Abovem Was new information found?
[] If YES, use new information in significance evaluation
o If NO, document no new information found

6: Conduct Significance Evaluation" Is the information material to the issue being considered?* Does the new information have the potential to affect NRC
findings or conclusions?" If YES, document results as per Step 7" If NO, document in file records
7: Address significant new information inCOLA ERn For issues related to the impacts of construction and-operation of the facility that were resolved in the ESPproceeding
