e settlement, or groundwater flow during or after construction). This staff site visit, in addition to determining whether there is new information of significance for site suitability and safety that was revealed after review of the COL application was completed, will ensure that recommendations or conditions formulated by the staff during the COL application review have been implemented. The site visit will also include an appraisal by the staff of the applicant’s engineering solutions for mitigating any potential non-tectonic geologic hazards. A typical staff finding at the conclusion of the review can be illustrated as follows: The staff evaluation of the geologic and seismic information pertaining to this site, as presented by the applicant, is discussed in SER sections 2.5.1, 2.5.2, and 2.5.3. The staff concludes that the site is acceptable from geologic and seismic standpoints and meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2 (GDC 2); and 10 CFR 100.23. This conclusion is based on the applicant having met the requirements and guidelines of: 2.5.1-15 Revision 4 - March 2007 a. General Design Criterion 2 (“Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena”) of Appendix A (“General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants”) to 10 CFR Part 50 (“Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities”) with respect to protection against natural phenomena such as earthquakes, surface deformation, and seismically-induced floods and water waves. b. 10 CFR 100.23 ("Geologic and Seismic Siting Criteria”) with respect to obtaining geologic and seismic information necessary to determine site suitability and appropriate plant design, and ascertain that any new information derived from site-specific investigations does not impact the GRMS derived by a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. In complying with this regulation, the applicant also meets guidance in Regulatory Guides 1.132 ("Site Investigations for
