Content:
Part 100 addresses the requirements for applications before January 10, 1997, and Subpart B is for applications on or after January 10, 1997. If the tsunami flood-causing mechanism is determined to be consequential to defining the plant’s design basis or site characteristic flood elevation, the staff’s review will include evaluation of pertinent information to determine if these criteria are appropriately used in postulation of worst-case tsunami scenarios. 2.4.6-15 Revision 4 - September 2018 9. Review Procedures Specific to 10 CFR Part 52 Application Types A. Construction Permit and Early Site Permit Reviews. Subpart A to 10 CFR Part 52 specifies the requirements and procedures applicable to the Commission’s issuance of ESPs for approval of a proposed site. Information required for an ESP includes a description of the characteristics of the proposed site. For an ESP, the scope and level of detail for reviewing data parallel those used for a CP review. In the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39, “Finality of early site permit determinations,” precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions on the early site permit at the COL stage. Accordingly, the reviewer should ensure that all physical attributes of the site that could affect the design basis of SSCs important to safety are reflected in the site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions of the early site permit. B. Standard Design Certification Reviews. Applications for design certification do not contain general descriptions of site characteristics because this information is site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. However, pursuant to 10 CFR 52.47(a)(1), a DC applicant must provide site parameters postulated for the design. Site parameters associated with this SRP section are reviewed by the staff, as applicable, to verify that: i. The postulated
