Specific guidance for implementing this regulation can be found in Regulatory Guide 1.165, "Identification and Characterization of Seismic Sources and Determination of Safe Shutdown Earthquake Ground Motion" (Ref. 3). Guidance regarding the geotechnical engineering aspects is found in Regulatory Guide 1.132, "Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants" (Ref. 4). Additional information is available to the ECGB reviewers through published and unpublished scientific literature. As the state of the art regarding the geosciences is advancing rapidly, it is the responsibility of the reviewers to stay abreast of changes by reviewing the current scientific literature on a regular basis and attending professional meetings.
