ite and the models and methods employed in the analysis of soil and foundation response to the ground motion environment are reviewed under Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 2.5.4. The results of the geosciences review are used in SRP Sections 3.7.1 and 3.7.2. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The applicable regulations (Refs. 1,-2, and 3) and regulatory guides (Refs. 4, 5, 6, and 9) and basic acceptance criteria pertinent to the areas of this section of the Standard Review Plan are: 1. 10 CFR Part 100. 'Reactor Site Criteria." This part of the NRC's regulations describes general criteria that guide the evaluation of the suitability of proposed sites for nuclear power and test reactors (Ref. 3). Section 100.23. 'Geologic and Seismic Siting Factors." of 10 CFR Part 100. This section of Part 100 requires the applicant to determine the SSE and its uncertainty, the potential for surface tectonic and nontectonic deformations, the design bases for seismically induced floods and water waves, and other design conditions (Ref. 1). 2. General Design Criterion (GDC) 2. "Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena." in Appendix A. "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants." to 10 CFR Part 50. This criterion requires that the structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to withstand the-effects of earthquakes, tsunamis, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety functions (Ref. 2). 3. Regulatorv Guide 1.132. "Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants." This guide describes programs of site investigations related to geotechnical aspects that would normally meet the needs for evaluating the safety of the site from the standpoint of the performance of foundations and earthworks under anticipated loading conditions, including earthquakes. It provides general guidance and recommendations for developing site-specific investigation programs as well as specific guidance for conducting subsurface investigations, such
