ule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” Review of site characteristics and site- related design parameters in ESP applications or in COL applications referencing an ESP is also performed under Section 2.0. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 2, “Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena,” as it relates to consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and 2.5.1-5 Revision 4 - March 2007 surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated. 2. For ESP applications, GDC are not applicable. However, the GDC 2 requirement to identify geologic site characteristics that consider the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area and with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated is specifically identified in 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi). 3. 10 CFR Part 100, Section 100.23, "Geologic and Seismic Siting Criteria" (Reference 3), for evaluating suitability of a proposed site based on consideration of geologic, geotechnical, geophysical, and seismic characteristics of the proposed site. Geologic and seismic siting factors must include the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) for the site; and the potential for surface tectonic and non-tectonic deformation. The site- specific GMRS satisfies requirements of 10 CFR 100.23
