REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of issues related to hydrology Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Chapter 2 of the Standard Review Plan (SRP) discusses the site characteristics that could affect the safe design and siting of a plant. The staff reviews information presented by the applicant for a construction permit (CP), operating license (OL), design certification (DC), early site permit (ESP), or combined license (COL) concerning hydrological setting of the site as they relate to safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSC). This SRP section applies to reviews performed for each of these types of applications. The staff’s review and findings are described in the appropriate section of the safety evaluation report (SER). In this section of the applicant’s safety analysis report (SAR), the locations and elevations of safety-related facilities and those of structures and components required for protection of safety-related facilities are compared with design-basis flood conditions to determine if flood effects need to be considered in plant design or in emergency procedures. The specific areas of review are as follows: The staff review the locations and elevations of all safety-related facilities to identify the SSC exposed to flooding. 1 Additional supporting information of prior DC rules may be found in DCD Tier 2 Section 14.3. 2.4.10-2 Revision 3 - March 2007 1. Safety-related Facilities Exposed to Flooding 2. Type of Flood Protection. The staff reviews the type of flood protection (e.g., “hardened facilities,” sandbags, flood doors, bulkheads, etc.) provided to the SSC exposed to floods. 3. Emergency Procedures. The emergency procedures needed to implement flood protection activities and warning times available for their implementation are reviewed by the organization responsible for the review of issues related to plant emergency procedures. The technical specifications related to the emergency
