CFR Title: 

Content:
n Plant Foundations and other Safety-Related Structures, Systems, and Components: The staff reviews effects of groundwater levels and other hydrodynamic effects of groundwater on design bases of plant foundations and those of other SSC important to safety. 3. Reliability of Groundwater Resources and Systems Used for Safety-Related Purposes: The staff reviews reliability of groundwater resources and related systems used to supply safety-related water to the plant. 4. Reliability of Dewatering Systems: The staff reviews reliability of dewatering systems to maintain groundwater conditions within the plant’s design bases. 5. Consideration of Other Site-Related Evaluation Criteria: The staff reviews potential effects of seismic and non-seismic information on the postulated worst-case groundwater conditions for the proposed plant site. 6. 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. The review to ensure that adverse environmental conditions, including those from groundwater, will not preclude the safety function of the ultimate heat sink is performed under SRP Section 9.2.5, “Ultimate Heat Sink.” 2. Regional and local groundwater characteristics and subsurface properties are used to determine the bounding set of pathways that result in critical impact to ground and surface water resources in SRP Section 2.4.13, “Accidental Releases of Radioactive Liquid Effluents in Ground and Surface Waters.” 3. For DC applications and COL applications referencing a DC rule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control
