Content:
ually still in progress and final conclusions have often not been made. Most of the open items of Section 2.5 remaining at the time that the safety evaluation report (SER) input is required are in the geotechnical engineering area because actual site conditions may not be fully revealed until excavations are opened and construction has begun. Thus, a site visit, in addition to that noted in Section 2.5.1, "Basic Geologic and Seismic Information," is necessary to examine the foundation materials exposed in excavations during construction. Information and final designs, including confirming tests and revised analyses, are to be submitted when all pertinent geotechnical engineering information is available. Review Procedures Specific to 10 CFR Part 52 Application Type 1. Early Site Permit Reviews Subpart A to 10 CFR Part 52 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 a description of the site characteristics and design parameters of the proposed site. However, the specific locations of major structures are generally not known at the ESP stage and, therefore, some subsections within SRP Chapter
