2. Provide a discussion of all changes in plant design or operation that would significantly affect the environmental impacts evaluated in the Environmental Report / Operating License Stage (ER) and the Final Environmental Statenent (FES) associated with' the requested change.

a. ' Include population projections within less than 50-miles of the Station (e.g., 5 miles and 10 miles). Projections based on the 1980 census for the area within 5 miles of ficGuire appear to be higher than previous projections in the FES and FSAR which used 1970 census information.

Discuss this change with respect to the requirements of 10 CFR 100, in-cluding any changes in the previous characterization of the site boundary, nearest population center and low population zone. Justify the requested change in view of the updated population projections.

with normal operation, including

1) Impacts to the general public. Discuss the expected annual

' offsite doses to and during the additional years of operation, projected on the basis of actual effluent releases to date.

Include a discussion of thu ingestion dose due to increase buildup of long life radio.nuclides in the soil.

2) Annual and total occupational exposures during the edditional years of operation, and bases for these projections.

3) Trpacts cn the Uranium fuel cycle.

3. Discuss alternative course of action for providing the equivalent electric energy that will result from the proposed license extension. Include in your discussion the "no action" alternative.

4. Discuss the effect of the proposed license extension on the cost-t'trefit ar.alysis in the McGuire FES.
