ical structures. Seismicity and vibratory ground motion are primary review responsibilities addressed in SRP Section 2.5.2, which includes a detailed review of the seismic record and potential seismic source zones. Close coordination between geologists and seismologists is essential to assure that the tectonic framework developed in FSAR Section 2.5.1 is correctly incorporated into the hazards analyses reviewed in SRP Sections 2.5.2 through 2.5.4. The reviewer confirms that sufficient information is provided by the applicant to estimate the potential for strong earthquake ground motions and surface deformation at the site. This information includes geologic evidence for Quaternary deformation (i.e., faulting or folding), evidence of prehistoric earthquakes (i.e., paleoliquefaction features), and other features indicative of past seismic activity. The reviewer also confirms that the applicant has addressed the relationship between regional-scale and local-scale features of 2.5.1-4 Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 particular interest. In addition, the reviewer confirms that the applicant has evaluated all geologic phenomena that might affect the design and operation of the proposed facility, irrespective of whether such phenomena are explicitly included in this SRP. For sites adjacent to large bodies of water, information pertinent to assessing hazards from probable maximum tsunami and seiche shall be provided or cross-referenced to SRP Section 2.4.6. At such sites, the reviewer also confirms that the applicant has considered the potential for earthquakes and tectonic structures located beneath water. 3. Conditions Caused by Human Activities The reviewer assesses information regarding topography, slope stability, fluid injection or withdrawal, mineral extraction, jointing and faulting, solution effects, and seismicity at the site as they might effect, or be effected by, conditions resulting from human activities. The reviewer confirms that the application includes
