Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 3. Review of Supplemental Information The Phase 3 review is the final phase for resolving all open safety-related issues, an activity commonly associated with staff review of the applicant’s responses to RAIs. . 4. Geologic Mapping License Condition Under the COL or ESP approach defined in 10 CFR Part 52, the SER might have been written by staff and a license may have been granted to the applicant before site excavations and geologic mapping of the excavations begin. Thus, new geologic features might be discovered in plant excavations, which have the potential to affect site safety. To ensure that the safety implications of new information are reviewed, clear statements must be provided in the site-specific portion of the COL application that the applicant commits to: (1) Perform detailed geologic mapping of the excavations for safety related structures; (2) Examine and evaluate geologic features discovered in excavations for safety-related structures; and (3) Notify the NRC once excavations for safety-related structures are open for inspection by NRC staff. A geologic mapping license condition will be proposed in the staff SER for each COL site where plant excavations and geologic mapping have not been completed prior to a license being granted. Likewise, a geologic mapping license condition will be proposed in the staff SER for each ESP site. For those COL or ESP sites where plant excavations and geologic mapping take place prior to a COL or ESP being granted, staff will evaluate the plant excavations and mapping as part of the application review. Procedures for Staff Evaluation of Specific Areas of Review The staff follows procedures for review based on the six specific ‘Areas of Review’ defined in Subsection I to determine that an applicant has acceptably performed appropriate investigations for fulfilling applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23(c) and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2). While evaluating the six Areas of Review
