Revision 6 – October 2019 A typical staff finding at the conclusion of the review of an ESP is as follows: The staff considered information provided by the applicant in support of the license application about site suitability, including the determination of the potential for surface tectonic and non-tectonic deformation at the site. The information reviewed includes data from the site vicinity, area, and location related to geoscience investigations; geologic reconnaissance for the site vicinity; the staff’s independent review of published literature; and discussions with knowledgeable geoscientists with the USGS, State Geological Surveys, local universities, consulting firms, or other non-governmental and professional organizations. As a result of this review, staff concludes that geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations and information provided by the applicant are in accordance with 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi), 10 CFR 100.23(c), and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2) and provide an adequate basis to establish the potential for future surface deformation to occur at the site, which could affect the design and operation of the proposed facility. 7. Combined License, Construction Permit, and Operating License Reviews A typical staff finding at the conclusion of the review for a COL, CP or OL is as follows: Information reviewed for the proposed nuclear power plant concerning potential for surface deformation is summarized in SER Section 2.5.3. Staff concludes that the site has been adequately evaluated for the potential for future surface deformation that may affect the design and operation of the proposed facility and meets requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 2; 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi), 10 CFR 100.23(c), and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2). This conclusion is based on the applicant having met the requirements and guidelines of: (1) GDC 2 (Design Bases for Protection against Natural Phenomena) of Appendix A (General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants) to
