Title: Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of material resources (Revision 1) - June 1976

Book ·
OSTI ID:7156771

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, Licensing and Regulatory Policy and Procedures for Environmental Protection, applicants are required to discuss any irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources that would be involved in a proposed action, should it be implemented. The construction and operation of nuclear power stations involve commitments of such resources as water, fuel and materials. The guide presented identifies a report on material resources that forms a basis acceptable to the NRC staff for required discussions of irreversible and irretrievable commitments of material resources involved in the construction of a 1000 MWe pressurized water reactor. The guide describes numerical estimates useful in all such discussions. It also provides methods of computation that may be referenced.
