1.206), the conclusion in the SER should state that investigations and analyses performed and information provided support the applicant's conclusions regarding geologic and seismic suitability of the proposed nuclear power plant site. Licensing conditions established by staff to resolve any significant deficiency identified in the application should be stated in sufficient detail to make clear the precise nature of the concerns and the required resolution. The application is also reviewed for any significant new information derived from site vicinity, site area, or site location geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations that had not been previously applied to tectonic and ground motion models used in the PSHA. Determinations regarding geologic and seismic suitability of the site are made by staff after CP, OL, or COL application reviews. Conclusions regarding an OL application will include evaluation of excavations for Seismic Category I structures. For COL applications that do not reference a previous ESP, staff evaluation findings will include the evaluation findings identified above for ESP reviews. A typical staff finding at the conclusion of the review can be illustrated as follows: The staff evaluation of the geologic and seismic information pertaining to this site, as presented by the applicant, is discussed in SER Sections 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3, and 2.5.4. The staff concludes that the site is acceptable from geologic and seismic standpoints and meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2 (GDC 2); and 10 CFR 100.23. This conclusion is based on the applicant having met the requirements and guidelines of: 2.5.2-18 Revision 5 – July 2014 a. General Design Criterion 2 (“Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena”) of Appendix A (“General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants”) to 10 CFR Part 50 (“Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities”) with respect to
