Content:
kes have occurred should be described. Alternative regional tectonic models derived from available literature sources, including previous SARs and NRC staff Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs), should be discussed. The model that best conforms to the observed data is accepted. In addition, in those areas where there are capable faults, the results of the additional investigative requirements described in 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, Section IV(a)(8) (Ref. 1), must be presented. The discussion should be augmented by a regional-scale map showing the tectonic provinces, earthquake epicenters, locations of geologic structures and other features that characterize the provinces, and the locations of any capable faults.
