,” as it relates to consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated. C. GDC 44, "Cooling Water," requires that a system be provided with the safety function of transferring the combined heat load from SSCs important to safety to an ultimate heat sink under normal operating and accidental conditions. D. For ESP applications, GDC are not applicable. However, the GDC 2 requirement to identify site characteristics that consider the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area and with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated is specifically identified in 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi)(vi). 3. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, “Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Processing Plants,“ establishes quality assurance requirements for the design, construction, and operation of those SSCs of nuclear power plants that prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. 4. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix S, “Earthquake Engineering Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” as it applies to the design of nuclear power plant SSCs important to safety to withstand the effects of earthquakes. 5. 10 CFR Part 100, "Reactor Site Criteria," provides the criteria which guide the evaluation of the suitability of proposed sites for nuclear power and testing reactors. 2.5.4-5 Revision 4 - May 2010 6. 10 CFR 100.23, "Geologic and Seismic Criteria," provides the nature of the investigations required to obtain the geologic and seismic data necessary to determine site suitability and identify geologic and seismic factors required to be taken into account in the
