Updated Environmental Standard Review Plan: Availability

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has prepared an update to the Environmental Standard Review Plan for the review of environmental reports for nuclear power plants (ESRP) for review and comment. A draft of the updated ESRP, NUREG-1555, incorporates changes in the regulation of the nuclear power industry, and changes in the treatment of environmental protection and siting issues that have occurred since the ESRP was initially issued in 1978 as NUREG-0555. Organizational changes have been made to the structure of ESRP sections to conform to the structure of the companion safety Standard Review Plan for the review of safety analysis reports for nuclear power plants (SRP), NUREG-0800. Most notably, significant changes have been made to incorporate the changes in environmental protection and resource statutes, other Federal regulations, Presidential executive orders, hearing decisions and case law, and NRC regulations related to new plant and site licensing, and license renewal. NUREG-1555 will supersede NUREG-0555.
