SUMMARY
AND CONCLUSIONS This Draft Environmental Statement was prepare'd by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Direct' orate of Licensing (staff).
1.
This action is administrative.
2.
The proposed actions are the continuation of the provisional construction permit CPPR-51 and the issuance of an operating license to the Florida Power Corporation for the startup and operation of Crystal River Plant, Unit No. 3, a nuclear power reactor located on a site already occupied by two operating oil-fueled electrical generating plants. The site is on the Gulf of Mexico in the State of Florida and near the town of Crystal River, Citrus County, (Docket No. 50-302).
Unit No. 3 will employ a pressurized water reactor to produce initially 2452 megawatts thermal (MWt). With the contribution from the reactor coolant pumps added, a gross electrical output of 855 megawatts electric (MWe) will result. A design power level of 2544 MWt (885 MWe) is anticipated at a future date and is considered in the assessments contained in this statement.
The exhaust steam will be cooled by once-through flow of water obtained from and discharged to the Gulf of Mexico, l
3.
Summary of the cumulative environmental impact and adverse effects of Units 1, 2 and 3:
Land areas disturbed during construction of the station, but not to be occupied by buildings or facilities, are to be allowed to revert to a natural condition.
The annual loss of juvenile and small finfish and shellfish on the intake screens (now estimated at 36,000 lb for U its 1 and 2) will increase due to the increased flow n
j volume.
Entrainment of passing drift organisms is anticipated and 100% mortality of these organisms during their passage through the conderser cooling system is assumed. Total plankton popula..ons in the area are not expected to be appreciably affected.
At full power, condenser cooling water heated to 14.5"F (8.l*C) above inlet temperature will be discharged at the rate of 2940 cubic feet per second at the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico.
