Content:
stability evaluations of earth and rock slopes are reviewed by Structural Engineering Branch (SEB) to assure that displacements or failure of site slopes as indicated in the SAR do not have an adverse impact on structural components as part of its primary review responsibilities for SRP Sections 3.7 and 3;8. Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan.. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestion for improvement win be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington. D.C. 2 . Licensing Guidance Branch (LGB) will coordinate the review of technical specifi- cations to insure that Geotechnical Engineering design features related to materials of construction and geometric arrangement of subsurface materials, foundations, cut slopes, and embankments, which if altered or modified would have a significant effect on safety,-are included in conjunction with its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 16.0. Quality Assurance Branch (QAB) will coordinate the review of the Geotechnical Engineering aspects of the QA program pertaining to safety-related structures,
