n that may affect the design and operation of the proposed facility and meets requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 2; 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi), 10 CFR 100.23(c), and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2). This conclusion is based on the applicant having met the requirements and guidelines of: 1. GDC 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 faulting and resultant vibratory ground motion. 2. 10 CFR 100.23(c) ("Geological, seismological, and engineering characteristics”) with respect to the adequate evaluation of geological, seismological, and engineering characteristics of a site and its environs as affecting tectonic and nontectonic deformation of the site. In complying with this regulation, the applicant also meets applicable guidance in RG 1.208 (A Performance-Based Approach to Define Site-Specific Earthquake Ground Motion); RG 4.7 (General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants); and RG 1.206 (Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition). 3. 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2) ("Geologic and Seismic Siting Factors”) with respect to determination of the potential for surface tectonic and nontectonic deformations. In order to verify that no geologic features or conditions exist beneath the safety-related structures at the site that could affect the design and operation of the facility, the staff proposes a license condition requiring an applicant to: (1) perform detailed geologic mapping of the excavations for safety related structures; (2) examine and evaluate
