Revision 6 – October 2019 SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria, adequate to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations identified above, are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, the applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Appropriate sections of the following RGs are used by the staff for the identified acceptance criteria: RG 1.208, “A Performance-Based Approach to Define Site-specific Earthquake Ground Motion,” describes methods acceptable for conducting geologic, geophysical, seismologic, and geotechnical investigations; and guidance on assessing surface-fault rupture and associated deformation at the site (Appendix C.2.4). RG 4.7, "General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Stations," discusses the major site characteristics related to public health and safety that the reviewer considers in determining the suitability of sites for nuclear power stations. RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition,” discusses guidance for COL applications for nuclear power plants (light-water reactors (LWRs)). The reviewer should confirm that information provided in the application is complete, properly documented and consistent with applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23. The reviewer should confirm that methods described in RG 1.208, or comparable methods, are employed for identifying and characterizing surface deformation features; and that the material is consistent with the format suggested in RG 1.206. For evaluating completeness and acceptability of the application, the reviewer should use
