determine the GMRS for the site (see SRP Section 2.5.2.6) using the performance-based approach. RG 1.206,” Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),” provides guidance regarding the information to be submitted in a COL application for a nuclear power plant. The principal geologic and seismic considerations for site suitability are given in 10 CFR 100.23. RG 1.208 provides more detailed guidance on investigations and application of PSHA and development of the GMRS. The GMRS is based on consideration of the regional and local geology and seismology and on the characteristics of the subsurface materials at the site. However, no comprehensive definitive rules can be promulgated regarding the investigations needed to determine the GMRS; the requirements vary from site to site. 1.
