the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington. D.C. 2C5. 2; General Design Criterion 2 (GOC .2) requires structures, systems, and compo- nents important to safety to be designed to withstand the effects of floods. .3. 10 CFR Part 100 requires that hydrologic characteristics be considered -in the evaluation of the site. Specific criteria necessary to meet the relevant flood protection requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a, GDC 2, and 10 CFR Part 100 are as-follows: 1. The flood design basis for each facility must be comparable.with the posi- tions in Regulatory Guide 1.59. For construction permit (CP) reviews, the types of flood protection (discussed in Regulatory Guide 1.102) pro- posed must be capable of protecting those safety-related structures, systems, and components identified in Regulatory Guides 1.59 and 1.29. 2. For operating license (OL) reviews the specific designs of flood protection measures are reviewed to assure the protection levels are adequate (including static and dynamic effects) for the controlling flood conditions and that
