CFR Title: 

Content:
ire that physical characteristics of a site (including seismology, meteorology, geology, and hydrology) be taken into account when determining its acceptability for a nuclear power reactor. To satisfy the hydrological requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, the applicant’s SAR should contain a description of any icing phenomena with the potential to result in adverse effects to the intake structure or other safety-related facilities. Ice-related characteristics historically associated with the site and region should be described, and an analysis should be performed to determine the potential for flooding, low water, or ice damage to safety-related SSC. The analysis should be sufficient to evaluate the site’s acceptability and to assess the potential for those characteristics to influence the design of the plant SSC important to safety. Meeting this requirement provides assurance that SSC important to safety are designed to withstand the effects of potentially severe icing conditions. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether data and analyses for the proposed site meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the data and analyses remain valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with these data. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique conditions. These review procedures are based on identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant's evaluation
