OSTI ID:7208967
The use of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as a positive tool for effective nuclear facilities siting is suggested as a means of assuring that States do not ignore the national interest in energy facilities siting when formulating their environmental programs. Also, the Study includes a legal/institutional analysis of four major Federal programs which affect the siting of nuclear facilities through the establishment of Federal/State/regional planning processes: Coastal Zone Management Act, Federal Water Pollution Control Act, Clean Air Act, and Housing and Community Development Act. Once implemented, these planning processes will exert a considerable influence over the siting of nuclear facilities. Thus, a need is shown for a mechanism to make the siting processes more effective. Three ways are identified: by NRC review and comment on environmentally related programs; and by NRC providing strong incentives to its applicants to consult with and coordinate their activities with responsible State planning entities before submitting applications.
