iewer independently identifies and evaluates the relevant seismic sources, including their capability, and determines the earthquake potential for each using procedures noted in Section II, Acceptance Criteria, above. The reviewer evaluates the vibratory ground motion that the controlling earthquakes could produce at the site and compares that ground motion to the SSE used for design. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS On completion of the review of the geologic and seismologic aspects of the plant site, if the evaluation by the staff confirms that the applicant has met the requirements or guidance of applicable portions of References 1 through 6 and 9, the conclusion in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) states that the information provided and investigations performed support the applicant's conclusions regarding the seismic characterization of the subject nuclear power plant site. In addition to the conclusion, this section of the SER includes an evaluation of (1) seismic sources, (2) the capability of geologic structures in the region, (3) controlling earthquakes and associated free- field response spectra, (4) the SSE, and (5) the time history of strong ground motion. Staff reservations about any significant deficiency presented in the applicant's SAR are stated in sufficient detail to make clear the precise nature of the concern. In addition, the staff will also note the results of its independent analyses, if performed, and discuss how these results were used in the safety evaluation. The above evaluations are made by the staff during the construction permit (CP), operating license (OL), combined license (COL), or early site permit phases of review as appropriate. OL and COL applications are reviewed for any new information developed subsequent to the CP SER or the early site evaluation. The review will also determine whether the recommendations made following the CP or early site review have been implemented. A typical COL or OL-stage summary finding for this section
