Revision 5 – July 2014 Consequently, it is NRC policy (e.g., RG 1.208) to recommend that any site located on a surface or near-surface feature with a potential for future displacement be re-located to an alternate site Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the area of review addressed by this SRP section is as follows: Application of GDC 2 or 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi) for ESP applications, 10 CFR 52.79 for COLs and 10 CFR 100.23 provides assurance that all geologic and seismic factors that might affect the design and operation of the proposed facility have been identified and adequately investigated and characterized. Application of 10 CFR 100.23(c) requires that the geologic and seismic characteristics of the site and its environs be investigated in sufficient scope and detail to permit an adequate evaluation of the proposed site; provide sufficient information to support estimates of the SSE ground motion; and permit adequate engineering solutions to actual or potential geologic and seismic effects at the proposed site. Further, 10 CFR 100.23(c) specifies that all geologic and seismic factors that might affect design and operation of the proposed nuclear power plant must be investigated. Application of 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2) requires that the geologic and seismic siting factors considered for design include a determination of the potential for surface tectonic and non- tectonic deformations. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The procedures outlined below are used to review ESP and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether geologic and seismic information for the proposed site meets the Subsection II “Acceptance Criteria” of this SRP. As applicable, reviews of COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to continued seismic surveillance is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any unique geologic and seismic
