Content:
icable regulations (Refs. 1 and 2) and regulatory guides (Refs. 3 - 5) and basic acceptance criteria pertinent to the areas of this section of the Standard Review Plan are: 1. General Design Criterion (GDC) 2. "Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena." in Apoendix A. "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants." to 10 CFR Part 50. This criterion requires that the structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety functions (Ref. 1). 2. Section 100.23. 'Geologic and Seismic Siting Factors." of 10 CFR Part 100. This section of Part 100 requires the applicant to determine the SSE and its uncertainty, the potential for surface tectonic and nontectonic deformations, the design bases for seismically induced floods and water waves, and other design conditions (Ref. 2). 3. Regulatorv Guide 1.165. "Identification and Characterization of Seismic Sources and Determination of Safe Shutdown Earthauake Ground Motion" (Ref. 3). This guide describes acceptable methods to: (1) conduct geological, seismological, and geophysical investigations of the site and region around the site, (2) identify and characterize seismic sources, (3) perform PSHA, and (4) determine the SSE for the site (see SRP Section 2.5.2.6). 4. Reaulatorv Guide 1.132. "Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants." This guide describes programs of site investigations related to geotechnical aspects that would normally meet the needs for evaluating the safety of the site from the standpoint of the performance of foundations and earthworks under anticipated loading conditions, including earthquakes. It provides general guidance and recommendations for developing site-specific investigation programs as well as specific guidance for conducting subsurface investigations, such as borings and sampling (Ref. 4). 5. Regulatorv Guide 4.7. "General Site
