Purpose: The identification of gaps in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report in the investment planning process in the managerial and social dimensions. Design/methodology/approach: The research is based on the method of the analysis of the subject literature and a critical analysis of the source documentation, i.e., the Environmental Impact Assessment Report on the project to build and operate the first Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Poland. Findings: Gaps identified refer to the issue of coordination of the accompanying investments with the NPP Investment; an identification of the real impact area of the NPP in the scope of the analysis of its impact on residents; the impact of the investment on the functioning of the local government units; the impact of the investment on the local labour market, tourism and the property market. Research limitations/implications: Although the research implements a cost-benefit analysis, which is a recognised method of analysis, the study is conducted in the reality of local (national) regulations. The issue of environmental impact assessment is not the subject of the analysis. The analysis is limited to the impact on society, i.e., on residents, the functioning of local government units, and selected local markets. Practical and social implications: The article draws attention to the problem of nuclear plants and sustainability standards including environmental, social and economic dimensions (impact). It shows the necessity of improving the content of the evaluation report, draws attention to the issues neglected in the report and aims to increase the knowledge available to the public. Originality/value: A nuclear power plant is a strategic, capital-intensive investment, demanding in terms of technology but also of organisation, with a significant impact on society. The first nuclear power plant in Poland is analysed. The article provides knowledge that has not been previously presented. (original abstract)
