CFR Title: 

Content:
flood, earthquakes, or volcanic activity and the effect of highest water surface elevation at the site under the cascading failure conditions. 3. Dynamic Effects on Structures: Dynamic effects of dam failure-induced flood waves on SSC important to safety. 4. Loss of Water Supply Due to Failure of a Downstream Dam: Failure of a dam downstream of the plant site that may affect the availability of safety-related water supply to the plant. 5. Effects of Sediment Deposition and Erosion: Effects of sediment deposition or erosion during dam failure-induced flood waves that may result in blockage or loss of function of SSC important to safety. 6. Failure of Onsite Water Control or Storage Structures: Failure of onsite water control or storage structures, such as levees, dikes, and any engineered water storage facilities, that are located above site grade and may induce flooding at the site. 7. Consideration of Other Site-Related Evaluation Criteria: The potential effects of seismic and non-seismic information on the postulated design bases and how they relate to dam failures in the vicinity of the site and the site region. 8. Additional Information for 10 CFR Part 52 Applications: Additional information will be presented dependent on the type of application. For a COL application, the additional information is dependent on whether the application references an ESP, a DC, both, or neither. Information requirements are prescribed within the “Contents of Application” sections of the applicable Subparts to 10 CFR Part 52. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. Flooding protection measures, including dynamic effects (hydrodynamic forces and impact forces from debris and projectiles), if required for SSC important to safety, are reviewed in SRP Section 2.4.10. 2. The review to ensure that adverse environmental conditions, including those from loss of water due to dam failure, will not preclude the safety function of the ultimate heat
