SUMMARY

REPORT FOR THE FULL SCOPE ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT FOR THE CLINCH RIVER NUCLEAR EARLY SITE PERMIT APPLICATION By letter dated May 12, 2016, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for an early site permit (ESP) for the Clinch River Nuclear (CRN) Site located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. TVAs ESP application included an Environmental Report (ER). TVA subsequently provided supplemental information in support of the application and the NRC staff accepted the application for docketing and detailed review on December 30, 2016. On April 13, 2017, the NRC issued a notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) and to conduct scoping for TVAs ESP application (82 FR 17885).

In support of the NRC staffs environmental review of TVAs ESP application and development of the EIS, the NRC conducted an audit of data and information used to support the ER, as supplemented. The audit was conducted in two parts and the NRC environmental staff was joined by its contractor project team from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and by staff from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (jointly referred to as the review team). The face-to-face portion of the audit was held primarily at TVA offices in Knoxville, Tennessee from May 15-19, 2017. In conjunction with the information audit, the review team visited the CRN site and surrounding area to become familiar with the site layout and surrounding features. Additionally, the team met with numerous Federal and state agencies to understand their regulatory authorities for resources potentially affected by the project and to discuss any concerns.

The enclosed Environmental Audit Summary Report presents the scope of the audit, the audit team members and applicant staff participants, a description of audit activities including meetings with other Federal, state and local agencies, and a summary of the issues discussed and the status / resolution of the information needs that were outlined in the audit plan.
