na. 10 CFR 100.23(c) requires that the geologic and seismic characteristics of the site and its environs be investigated in sufficient scope and detail to permit an adequate evaluation of the proposed site; provide sufficient information to support estimates of the SSE ground motion; and permit adequate engineering solutions to actual or potential geologic and seismic effects at the proposed site. 10 CFR Part 100.23(c) further specifies that all geologic and seismic factors that may affect design and operation of the proposed nuclear power plant must be investigated. 10 CFR 100.23(d)(1) requires the determination of the Safe Shutdown Earthquake Ground Motion. Application of GDC 2, or 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi) for ESP applications, and 10 CFR 100.23 provide assurance that the most severe geologic and seismic conditions at the chosen plant site have been identified, and that geologic and seismic elements of the site have been adequately investigated and characterized. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, DC applications, and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether data and analyses for the proposed site meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the data and analyses remain valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with these data. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to vibratory ground motion is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique conditions. DC applications do not contain site specific characteristics; however, site parameters postulated for the design should to be reviewed using the procedures described below. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For
