[en] The selection criteria for a nuclear power station site can generally be divided into four main categories, namely: usefulness, feasibility, safety, impact. Of course, this classification has not been chosen haphazardly and a hierarchization appears immediately among the various constraints. Hence, it will be seen that the impact criteria come last on the list and it is this affirmation that we would like to justify here

[en] Past studies by the AEC, NRC, NSF and others have indicated that energy centers have certain advantages over dispersed siting. There is the need, however, to investigate such areas as possible weather modifications due to major heat releases, possible changes in Federal/state/local laws and institutional arrangements to facilitate implementation of energy centers, and to assess methods of easing social and economic pressures on a surrounding community due to center construction. All of these areas are under study by ERDA, but there remains the major requirement for the study of a potential site to yield a true assessment of the energy center concept. In this regard the Division of Nuclear Research and Applications of ERDA is supporting studies by the Southern and Western Interstate Nuclear Boards to establish state and utility interest in the concept and to carry out screening studies of possible sites. After selection of a final site for center study , an analysis will be made of the center including technical areas such as heat dissipation methods, water resource management, transmission methods, construction methods and schedules, co-located fuel cycle facilities, possible mix of reactor types, etc. Additionally, studies of safeguards, the interaction of all effected entities in the siting, construction, licensing and regulation of a center, labor force considerations in terms of local impact, social and economic changes, and financing of a center will be conducted. It is estimated that the potential site study will require approximately two years

[en] The objective of this booklet is to present siting procedures for energy facilities in the coastal area that meet state and federal requirements, incorporate concepts of impact assessment, which are useful to professionals in planning and design of facilities, and that are easily understood by people at the local decision making level. The focus is on siting procedures as a part of Louisiana's overall planning process for energy facilities. The state's coastal zone program will include further articulation of its policies for managing energy facilities and their impacts, identification of how interested and affected groups may be involved, means for consideration of the national interest, and identification of legal authorities and management techniques to implement state policies and procedures. The procedure outlined requires the expertise and participation of a broad spectrum of professionals, agency personnel, and public officials. Engineers, environmental scientists, attorneys, economists, planners, the public and elected officials will all be involved at various stages. There is, therefore, a need for coordination of activities over time at many levels of government, and across several geographical jurisdictions. The lead consultant or agency for development of a particular project will be responsible for coordination of the various aspects of facility siting and design throughout the procedure outlined herein. This booklet provides the overview necessary to insure that projects are considered on a comprehensive basis and meet environmental and coordination requirements presently in force. It is flexible enough that as needs and requirements change, new concerns may be easily integrated into the overall structure of facility, environment, and institutional areas that form the conceptual basis for any siting activity
