nce of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commissions regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports forNuelear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically. as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington. D.C. 20! 4. General Design Criterion 4 requires structures, systems, and components important to safety to be designed to accommodate the effects of and to be compatible with the environmental conditions associated with normal operation and postulated accidents. 5. General Design Criterion 5 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety not be shared among nuclear power units unless it can be shown that such sharing will not significantly impair their ability to perform their safety functions. 6. 10 CFR Part 100. requires that hydrologic characteristics be considered in the evaluation of the site. 7. 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A sets forth the criteria to determine the suit- ability of plant design bases with respect to seismic characteristics of the site. It also requires that the adequacy of the cooling water supply for emergency and long-term shutdown decay heat removal be assured, taking into account information concerning the physical, including hydrological, properties
