Recommendations for an Applicant to Calculate Activity Data for Greenhouse Gases Estimates

Abstract

This report calculates the activity data for GHG emissions based on two 1000 MWe ANRs. The GHG emissions in ANR GEIS and Appendix H are PPE values that must be met by an applicant as directed by RG4.2. This report provides PPE (upper bounding) values for relevant activity data that an applicant could use to demonstrate that their total GHG emissions are less than the target of 2,534,000 MT CO2e over the lifecycle of 97 years. Thus, the applicant does not need to have detailed calculations of GHG emissions for various activities. The activity data provided in this report would provide a surrogate of GHG emissions for demonstration to NRC. The report provides the summary of activity data for various source categories in Table 2. The methodology discusses in details about the methods that were used to estimate the activity data back from the GHG emissions in ANR GEIS
