otection Against Natural Phenomena”) of Appendix A (“General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants”) to 10 CFR Part 50 (“Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities”) with respect to protection against natural phenomena such as earthquakes, surface deformation, and seismically-induced floods and water waves. b. 10 CFR 100.23 (“Geologic and Seismic Siting Criteria”) with respect to obtaining geologic and seismic information necessary to determine site suitability and ascertain that any new information derived from site-specific investigations does not impact the GMRS derived by a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. In complying with this regulation, the applicant also meets guidance in RGs 1.132 (“Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants”); RG 1.138 (“Laboratory Investigations of Soils for Engineering Analysis and Design of Nuclear Power Plants”); and RG 1.208 (“A Performance-Based Approach to Define Site-Specific Earthquake Ground Motion”). V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with 2.5.2-20 Draft Revision 5 – 2013 specified portions of the Commissions regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced RGs. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. VI.
