on. 2. Design Certification Reviews The following statement should be preceded by a list of the applicable site parameters used for the plant: The applicant has provided the site parameters referenced above for plant design inputs (a subset of which is included as Tier 1 information), and the staff agrees that they are representative of a reasonable number of sites that have been or may be considered for a COL application. The stability of subsurface materials and foundations is site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. This should include the provision of information sufficient to demonstrate that the design of the plant falls within the values of the actual site characteristics specified in a COL or CP application. 3. Construction Permit, Operating License, and Combined License Reviews The following statements should be preceded by a summary of the site characteristics and parameters used for the plant: As set forth above, the applicant has presented and substantiated information to establish the geotechnical engineering aspects of the plant site. The staff has reviewed the information provided and, for the reasons given above, concludes that the applicant has performed sufficient investigations at the site to justify the soil and rock characteristics used in the design, and that the design analyses contain adequate margins of safety for construction and operation of the nuclear power plant and meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A (GDCs 1, 2 and 44); Appendices B and S of 10 CFR Part 50; and 10 CFR 100.23. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL information items relevant to this SRP section. V. IMPLEMENTATION 2.5.4-23 Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10
