Content:
the site and is the vibratory ground motion for which certain structures, systems, and components are designed to remain functional. The SSE must satisfy both 10 CFR 100.23 and the design requirements specified in Appendix S to 10 CFR Part 50. Guidance on the development of the SSE is provided in SRP Section 3.7.1. Guidance on seismological and geological investigations is provided in Regulatory Guide 1.165, "Identification and Characterization of Seismic Sources and Determination of Safe Shutdown Earthquake Ground Motion" and Regulatory Guide 1.208, “A Performance-Based Approach to Define the Site-Specific Earthquake Ground Motion”. These investigations describe the seismicity of the site region and the correlation of earthquake activity with seismic sources. Seismic sources are identified and characterized, including the rates of occurrence of earthquakes associated with each seismic source. Seismic sources that have any part within 320 km (200 miles) of the site must be identified. More distant sources that have a potential for earthquakes large enough to affect the site must also be identified. Seismic sources can be capable tectonic sources or seismogenic sources. The review covers the following specific areas: 1. Seismicity (Subsection 2.5.2.1) 2. Geologic and tectonic characteristics of the site and region (Subsection 2.5.2.2) 3. Correlation of earthquake activity with seismic sources (Subsection 2.5.2.3) 4. Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and controlling earthquakes (Subsection 2.5.2.4) 5. Seismic wave transmission characteristics of the site (Subsection 2.5.2.5) 6. Site-specific ground motion response spectrum (Subsection 2.5.2.6) Additional information will be presented dependent on the type of application. For a COL application, the additional information is dependent on whether the application references an ESP, a DC, both or neither. Information requirements are prescribed within the “Contents of Application” sections of the applicable
