en designed or constructed. Staff evaluation of slope stability will be performed as part of its review of the COL or CP application. 2.5.5-13 Revision 4 - May 2010 2. Design Certification Reviews The following statement should be preceded by a list of the applicable site parameters used for the plant: The applicant has selected the site parameters referenced above for plant design inputs (a subset of which is included as Tier 1 information), and the staff agrees that they are representative of a reasonable number of sites that have been or may be considered for a COL application. The stability of slopes is site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. This should include the provision of information sufficient to demonstrate that the design of the plant falls within the values of the actual site characteristics specified in a COL or CP application. 3. Construction Permit, Operating License, and Combined License Reviews The following statements should be preceded by a summary of the site characteristics and parameters used for the plant: As set forth above, the applicant has presented and substantiated information to establish the stability of all earth and rock slopes, both natural and manmade at the plant site. The staff has reviewed the investigations performed for slope stability studies and dam and dike analyses and, for the reasons given above, concludes that the design analyses contain margins of safety which adequately demonstrate that natural and manmade slopes will remain stable under SSE conditions and that safety-related earthwork will function reliably at the site to justify the soil and rock characteristics used in the design. The staff further concludes that the design analyses contain adequate margins of safety for construction and operation of the nuclear power plant and meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A (GDC 1, 2, and 44); Appendices B and S of 10 CFR Part 50; and 10 CFR 100.23.
