CHAPTER 1 Introduction The Early Site Permit (ESP) process, offered under Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 52, Subpart A, was promulgated by the United States (U.S.) Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) in 1989 to address industry concerns with the former licensing process under 10 CFR 50. Previously, the licensing process required large expenditures of time and money by utilities well before key environmental, site safety, and emergency planning issues could be resolved. As envisioned, the ESP process is meant to resolve the key environmental, site safety and emergency planning issues well in advance of when a decision is made to build a nuclear power facility and before substantial capital is invested in the construction of a new nuclear facility.

When the decision is made to proceed, having a preapproved site can dramatically shorten the time to bring a new plant to market. When the ESP is used with the USNRCs combined construction and operating license, the time required to build and start up a new plant can be shortened further. The USNRC introduced ESPs and the combined construction and operating license (COL) as part of a more effective licensing process (10 CFR 52) for new nuclear power plants. Congress affirmed and strengthened the new licensing process in the 1992 Energy Policy Act.

Historically, the NRC has reviewed proposed sites and designs in combination and approved the site/design combination simultaneously. Part 52 provides for the option to secure separate early approvals for proposed sites, designs or both. In particular, the Part 52 ESP process reflects the longstanding Commission objective to decouple siting from design and is central to the early resolution of safety and environmental issues, a principal policy objective of Part 52.

Moreover, Part 52 recognizes that it is possible to obtain approval of site for future nuclear power plants as a separate matter from, and well in advance of, decisions on what and when to build. In those instances where the ESP applicant has not selected a particular technology, ESP applications may nonetheless use the Plant Parameter Envelope (PPE) approach as a surrogate for actual facility information to support required safety and environmental reviews. Under the PPE approach, applications would not reference any specific reactor technology with the intent that the resulting ESP would be applicable for a range of reactor designs, including NRC certified designs, designs for which NRC certification is currently in progress or contemplated, and future designs.

Strong policy basis exists for the PPE approach. First, it provides combined operating license (COL) applicants with essential flexibility to select the best technology available at the time the decision to build is made. An ESP that would limit this flexibility would not be in the public interest and would be of severely diminished value to prospective applicants.

Second, it provides the NRC with the information necessary for its review and issuance of ESPs. Third, the PPE approach facilitates the combined license process by clearly identifying the set of parameters on which the acceptability of a specific design for a particular site will be based. The EGC ESP Application is based on the PPE approach.

DEL-096-REV0 1-1

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT Reference in this document to a proposed facility, site, or project should not be construed to be restrictive to the reactors discussed, but rather encompasses any design bounded by the PPE developed, or the associated environmental impacts evaluated, through consideration of those reactor designs.

1.1 Purpose of Early Site Permit Submittal The purpose of this Application for an ESP is to set aside the proposed site for future energy generation and sale on the wholesale energy market. This site will be reserved for a nuclear facility to be operated as a merchant generator plant. In addition, a component of the site redress plan supports (limited work) authorization for approval of construction activities in accordance with 10 CFR 50.10(e)(1) and 10 CFR 52.17(c).

Exelon Generation Company (EGC), Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the Applicant for this ESP and will hereafter be referred to as the EGC or Applicant. The Applicant has selected a site located approximately 700 feet (ft) south of the existing Clinton Power Station (CPS) Facility for the proposed location of the EGC ESP Facility. The specific reactor type has not been identified or selected. Technical information from various designs has been used to develop and envelop the facility characterization necessary to evaluate the suitability of the site for the construction and operation of a nuclear power plant.

The CPS is located in Harp Township, DeWitt County, approximately 6 miles (mi) east of the City of Clinton, in central Illinois. It is a single unit nuclear generating plant capable of producing approximately 950 net megawatts electric (MWe). The boiling water reactor (BWR), designed by General Electric (GE) has been producing electricity for customers since 1987. In December of 1999, the CPS was sold by the Illinois Power Company to AmerGen Energy Company, (AmerGen), LLC, a joint venture of EGC (as assignee of PECO Energy Company [PECO]) and British Energy, of Edinburgh, Scotland). AmerGen owns and operates the CPS as well as the contiguous property that would be the EGC ESP Site.

This co-location strategy will prove beneficial because this existing nuclear site is already developed and dedicated to nuclear use. The advantages of co-location are described below.

  • Existing CPS documents for development of the various parts of this Application for the EGC ESP; e.g., the CPS updated safety analysis report (CPS USAR), environmental report (ER), and emergency plan that includes processes and agreements with local and regional entities that were utilized.
  • The existing CPS exclusion area previously underwent a screening and evaluation process establishing its suitability, including a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) evaluation of alternatives. The proposed EGC ESP Site is located within the CPS exclusion area.

This Application for the EGC ESP does not consider the need for power, as need for power is not required pursuant to 10 CFR 52.17.

In furtherance of the submittal of this Application for the EGC ESP, the Applicant seeks the following from the USNRC:

1-2 DEL-096-REV0

ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

  • An ESP issued for a duration of 20 years;
  • USNRC environmental impact statement (EIS) finding of no significant impact on setting aside the EGC ESP Site;
  • USNRC EIS finding of no significant impact from the construction and operation of the EGS ESP Facility;
  • USNRC safety evaluation report (SER) finding of no significant impact on (limited work) authorization for the EGC ESP Site;
  • USNRC finding that there is reasonable assurance that the redress carried out under the plan will achieve an environmentally stable and aesthetically acceptable site suitable for whatever non-nuclear use may conform to local zoning laws;
  • USNRC SER finding that the site characteristics have been appropriately identified;
  • USNRC finding that there are no significant impediments to implementing an emergency plan and that the major features provide reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken, in the event of a radiological emergency at the proposed site; and
  • USNRC finding that the site characteristics are such that adequate security plans and measures can be developed.

1.2 Generic Industry Activities The EGC has been participating in an industry task force (led by the Nuclear Energy Institute [NEI]) with the purpose of developing resolution to several generic items of interest to those currently anticipating applying for an ESP under 10 CFR 52 Subpart A. The NEI and the ESP Task Force have been meeting regularly for over a year with the USNRC Office of New Reactor Licensing to resolve issues that might impede the timely review and disposition of an ESP application. The approaches identified by the ESP Task Force and the comments provided by the USNRC staff on these issues are generally reflected in this application. However, there are some issues still under discussion for which the resolution will continue to be advanced through these generic efforts during the USNRC review of the specific applications, particularly in areas where guidance has only recently been issued by the USNRC, such as in the areas of quality assurance and accident analysis.

DEL-096-REV0 1-3

CHAPTER 2 Application Format and Content The Application for the EGC ESP is composed of several documents: the Site Safety Analysis Report (SSAR), the ER, the Emergency Plan, and the Site Redress Plan. The information for this chapter is presented in the following sections:

  • Site Safety Analysis Report (Section 2.1)
  • Environmental Report (Section 2.2)
  • Site Redress Plan (Section 2.4).

This administrative information also includes a description of the reports, general corporate information, and Appendix A. Appendix A contains the list of acronyms and abbreviations used for the Application for the EGC ESP reports and plans.

Multiple sources were consulted in the writing of this Application, and these references are presented in separate reference lists contained in the Application documents. However, the inclusion of references in these lists does not imply adherence to all criteria or guidance stated in each individual reference. The multiple reports and plans required for the EGC ESP, discussed in the sections below, were developed in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements and with consideration to available USNRC guidance documents.

The Application includes the following documents:

  • A SSAR that focuses on the site-related safety features and includes:

Site description and general location of the EGC ESP Facility; Design parameters postulated for the EGC ESP Facility and the EGC ESP Site characteristics; Population profiles of the area surrounding the site; and An assessment of site features affecting the plant design (e.g., major structures, systems, and components that bear significantly on site acceptability).

  • An ER focusing on the environmental impacts to the site from construction and operation of one or more reactors that have characteristics that fall within the site parameters;
  • A major features Emergency Plan: The major features addressed in the Emergency Plan include the exact sizes of the emergency planning zones (EPZs) and other features as described in Section V of NUREG-0654 Supplement 2.
  • A Site Redress Plan that addresses anticipated site preconstruction activities.

DEL-096-REV0 2-1

CHAPTER 2 - APPLICATION FORMAT AND CONTENT ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT For a site to be granted an ESP, the USNRC must conclude that the reactor design established by the PPE can be constructed and operated on the site without undue risk to public health and safety. For this reason, 10 CFR 52, Early Site Permits; Standard Design Certifications; and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, was used as the regulatory criteria for developing this ESP. Additionally, the recommendations for the ESP format identified by the NEI were followed.

PPE information was prepared based upon the results of previous preliminary ESP Demonstration Program work performed in the early 1990s by EPRI. This information was updated to reflect current data needs in performing safety and environmental impact assessments. During the compilation of PPE data, efforts were coordinated with and input obtained from alternative nuclear reactor manufacturers, EPRI, NEI, and the pilot ESP applicants. Bounding PPE and site characteristic values were developed, taking into consideration EGC's unique siting and business objectives. Discussions of the reactor technologies considered can be found in the SSAR.

The Applicant also prepared extensive site characterization studies and analyses to document the sites suitability for a range of nuclear plant designs. These studies involved data collection and analysis in a number of technical disciplines. Input from these disciplines was used to complete the SSAR and the ER portions of the Application for the EGC ESP.

The SSAR and ER demonstrate that the site is suitable for construction and operation of a plant with design features as specified for major structures, systems, and components within the bounds of the PPE.

2.1 Site Safety Analysis Report The SSAR complies with the applicable portions of 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1) and consists of a description of the site and proposed facilities, an assessment of the site features affecting the facility design(s); and meteorological, hydrologic, geologic, and seismic characteristics of the site. In addition, the SSAR discusses the capability of the facilities to withstand the natural and man-made environmental hazards of the site.

The regulatory bases for the SSAR include consideration of the following:

  • NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants.

The following briefly describes the sections of the SSAR:

Chapter 1, Introduction and Description of Proposed Facility, includes an overview of the site and possible reactor types, along with a PPE listing.

2-2 DEL-096-REV0

ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT CHAPTER 2 - APPLICATION FORMAT AND CONTENT Chapter 2, Site Characteristics, addresses geography and demography; nearby industrial, transportation, and military facilities; meteorology; hydrologic engineering; and geologic and seismic engineering.

Chapter 3, Site Safety Assessment, addresses effluents; thermal discharges; radiological consequences of accidents; and conformance with 10 CFR 100, Reactor Site Criteria. This section provides the anticipated maximum levels of radiological and thermal effluents the facility will produce. These data are used to verify that plant effluents will meet applicable regulatory standards and serve as input for the development of the environmental impacts analyses presented in the ER.

Appendix A, Geotechnical Report for the EGC Early Site Permit, addresses the details of the geotechnical evaluations conducted in support of the Application.

Appendix B, Seismic Hazards Report for the EGC Early Site Permit, addresses the details of the seismic hazards analysis conducted in support of the Application.

2.2 Environmental Report The ER provides information required by 10 CFR 52.17(a)(2), using guidance provided by NUREG-1555. This ER document addresses the environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the EGC ESP Facility.

This Application for the EGC ESP is premised on the assumption that, should the Applicant ultimately decide to exercise the permit and seek a construction permit or COL, the actual facility would be constructed and operated as a merchant power plant, co-located with the CPS Facility. The ER discusses the existing environment surrounding the site and vicinity; postulates environmental impacts of construction and operation and considers appropriate mitigation measures; reviews the impacts of design basis severe accidents; and reviews similar alternative sites. This ER does not assess impacts based on a specific facility design, nor does it postulate costs and benefits associated with construction or operation of any one design option; rather, the ER considers the most bounding conditions using the PPE.

For evaluation purposes, the following categories of information regarding interfaces of the proposed site and facilities are reviewed:

  • Comparison of the functional and operational needs of the facility as they relate to the sites natural and environmental resources; and
  • Direct impact of the facilities on the sites natural and environmental resources.

The regulatory bases for the ER include:

CHAPTER 2 - APPLICATION FORMAT AND CONTENT ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT

2.4 Site Redress Plan The Site Redress Plan and specific authorization are required by 10 CFR 52.17(c) if the Applicant intends to perform any of the activities allowed by 10 CFR 50.10(e)(1).

Specifically, the Applicant must determine the scope and extent of any preconstruction site investigation or preparation activities that will be conducted prior to approval of a construction permit or COL. In addition, the Applicant must address such measures that may be necessary to restore the site to the condition suitable for other appropriate use in the event that the project does not proceed to construction.

The need for redress information is dependent on the Applicant's plans for the site.

Specifically, the Applicant must determine the scope and extent of any preconstruction site preparation activity (e.g., grading, establishment of construction support facilities, dredging for intake and discharge structures) that will be conducted prior to the approval of a construction permit or COL. Site redress activities described in the Application for the EGC ESP are appropriate to the level of ecological and land use damage associated with the planned activities. For example, redress for continued maintenance of a meteorological monitoring program will be much smaller in scope than activities required to remediate large-scale clearing, grading, or dredging activities.

While this portion of an Application for an ESP is unique to a given site and an individual Applicants planned preconstruction permit activities, the following issues provide examples of considerations taken into account in formulating the Site Redress Plan:

  • Future site ownership and use (e.g., recreation, residential or industrial development, wildlife preserve);

DEL-096-REV0 2-7

CHAPTER 2 - APPLICATION FORMAT AND CONTENT ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT

  • Use of Applicant-constructed facilities (e.g., roads, structures) for future use;
  • Habitat replacement (e.g., wetlands, threatened and endangered species);
  • Restoration of sensitive water resource features (e.g., river banks) where disturbed for intake or discharge structures;
  • Recontouring, revegetating, and replanting cleared areas;
  • Potential liabilities associated with any facilities or structures that are left following redress; and
  • Potential contamination, which may include radiological or hazardous waste, left on the site, either pre-dating, or as a result of, the Applicant's actions.

The overall objective of this plan is to efficiently and as effectively as possible, reconfigure and redress the site to provide an environmentally stable, self-draining, self-maintaining and aesthetically acceptable site that can be left unattended post-redress. This does not preclude the property owner from using the site as permitted pursuant to the USNRC license granted for the CPS, should the property not be used for new nuclear construction pursuant to the ESP granted through the approval of this application, and the ESP holder has provided the appropriate notice to the USNRC pursuant to 10 CFR 52.35, Use of site for other purposes.

The regulatory bases for the Site Redress Plan include USNRC Regulations, 10 CFR 50 and 10 CFR 52.

The Site Redress Plan is outlined as follows:

Chapter 1, Description of Site Preparation Activities, describes the EGC ESP Site including the present (2003) site condition, site ownership, and planned physical activities.

Chapter 2, Site Redress Plan, provides general information, cites the regulatory requirement criteria for a site redress plan, provides a description of the redress plan, discusses impacts to existing redress and decommissioning plans, and discusses the financial responsibility of the Applicant to perform redress activities, if required.

CHAPTER 4 Application Summary The selection of the site adjacent to the existing CPS provides many advantages for the Applicant and supports this ESP process. The EGC ESP Site is located adjacent to the CPS, an existing licensed nuclear power station, and is therefore likely to have greater support from the local population and governmental entities in the event that a construction permit or COL is pursued. The resources needed to prepare this EGC ESP application have been significantly lessened through the application of existing CPS documents in the development of the SSAR, the ER, the Emergency Plan, and the Site Redress Plan. Actual resources needed to ultimately develop the site as contemplated by the ESP application will be reduced through utilization and sharing of existing infrastructure and site services, if and when the EGC ESP Facility is operational.
