bes the applicable ultimate heat sink capabilities. Regulatory Guide 1.29 identifies seismic design bases for SSC important to safety. Regulatory Guide 1.59, as supplemented by best current practices, provides guidance for developing the hydrometeorological design bases. Regulatory Guide 1.102 describes acceptable flood protection to prevent the safety-related facilities from being adversely affected. Regulatory Guide 1.125 provides guidance in the use and evaluation of physical models for design and operation of hydraulic structures and systems for nuclear power plants. 1. Hydraulic Design Bases for Protection of Structures: To meet the requirements of GDC 1, GDC 2, 10 CFR 52.17, and 10 CFR Part 100, a complete description of the hydraulic design bases for protection of structures is needed. These design bases should be consistent with site characteristics identified by staff during review of other SAR sections with respect to the flood water surface elevations, hydrodynamic forces, wind-induced waves and runup, erosion, and sedimentation. 2. Hydraulic Design Bases of Canals: To meet the requirements of GDC 1, GDC 2, GDC 44, 10 CFR 52.17, and 10 CFR Part 100, a complete description of the hydraulic design bases related to the capacity, protection against wind waves, erosion, sedimentation, and freeboard, and the ability to withstand a probable maximum flood (PMF), surges, etc., is needed. These design bases should be consistent with the site characteristics identified in other hydrology sections of the SAR and with the proposed plant requirements. 3. Hydraulic Design Bases of Reservoirs: To meet the requirements of GDC 1, GDC 2, 10 CFR 52.17, and 10 CFR Part 100, a complete description of the design bases of safety-related reservoirs related to their capacity, PMF design basis, wind wave and runup protection, discharge facilities (e.g., low-level outlet, spillways, etc.), outlet protection, freeboard, and erosion and sedimentation processes is needed. These design
