Abstract
Nuclear power plant construction noise impact has been quantified by use of the Equivalent Population Impact (Peq) concept recently used by the federal Environmental Protection Agency to assess the effect of portable air compressor regulation. Numerous construction scenarios, consisting of the constructinn of coal-fired and nuclear power plants with and without cooling towers, were studied. These scenarios were studied using two approaches which considered both the ambient sound level and the change in ambient sound level. An additional method is discussed using a “normalized” Ldn as suggested in EPA “Levels Document” (EPA 550/9-74-004 (1974)). These methods are exemplified using a case study of a recent environmental assessment undertaken for a public utility.
