resolved, staff then provides input for its SER. Because plant construction excavations will not be completed until after staff has prepared the SER in cases where an applicant is granted a COL under Subpart C of 10 CFR Part 52, subsequent reviews of geologic data and examination of excavations for Seismic Category I structures will be necessary to confirm that site parameters lie within the certified design envelope specified in the COL application. Procedures for Staff Evaluation of Specific Areas of Review Procedures for staff evaluation of the specific Areas of Review defined in Subsection I of this SRP section to determine that an applicant has adequately performed appropriate investigations for fulfilling general requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, Section 100.23 are as follows. While performing the task of evaluating all Areas of Review for this section, it is important that reviewers of seismic and tectonic information provided by an applicant identify all significant new information (e.g., a seismic source or new tectonic model that was not included in the site PSHA) and coordinate closely with the PSHA reviewer. 1. Geologic, Seismic, and Geophysical Investigations. The reviewer evaluates results of the applicant’s geologic, seismic, and geophysical investigations by conducting an independent literature search and comparing results of the literature search with information provided in the application. The comparison should show that conclusions presented by the applicant are based on sound data and are consistent with both reports published by area experts and conclusions of staff and its advisors and consultants. If conclusions and assumptions presented by the applicant conflict with the 2.5.3-14 Revision 4 - March 2007 literature and staff disagrees with the applicant's analysis and assumptions, the reviewer should require the applicant to submit additional investigative results supporting the conclusions in question. 2.
