Content:
acy of the investigation methods used by the applicant. (6) Potential for Surface Deformation at the Site. The reviewer evaluates the information provided by the applicant to characterize past surface deformation events in the site region. The reviewer then assesses the applicant’s approach for integrating this information into an assessment of the potential for future surface deformation at the site per 10 CFR 100.23 (d)(2). The assessment should distinguish between tectonic and nontectonic surface deformation. If the potential for future surface deformation exists at the site, information in the application must demonstrate the potential effects of surface deformation are within the design basis of the proposed facility. Review Considerations Specific to 10 CFR Part 52 Application Type 1. Early Site Permit Reviews 10 CFR Part 52, Subpart A specifies the requirements and procedures applicable to the Commission’s review of an ESP application for approval of a proposed site. Information required in an ESP application includes description of geologic, seismic, geophysical, geotechnical, and hydrologic characteristics of the proposed site. The applicant shall propose geologic site characteristics that will form a set of values for design and construction of a new plant to be built at the site. At the COL stage and in the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39 “Finality of early site permit determinations” precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms
