ristics; however, site parameters postulated for the design should to be reviewed using the procedures described below. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff reviews the applicant's evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II of this SRP. General Review Procedures Upon receiving the applicant's SAR or Early Site Evaluation Report (ESR), an acceptance review is conducted to determine compliance with the investigative requirements of 10 CFR 100.23. The reviewer also identifies any site-specific problems, the resolution of which could result in extended delays in completing the review. After SAR or ESR acceptance and docketing, the reviewer identifies areas that need additional information to support the review of the applicant's seismic design. These are transmitted to the applicant as requests for additional information. 2.5.2-15 Draft Revision 5 – 2013 A site visit might need to be conducted, during which the reviewer inspects the geologic conditions at the site and the region around the site as shown in outcrops, borings, geophysical data, trenches, and those geologic conditions exposed during construction. The reviewer also discusses clarifying questions with the applicant and his consultants to identify what additional information is required by the staff to continue the review. The reviewer evaluates the information obtained from the site visit, prepares requests for any additional information needed, and formulates positions that may agree or disagree with those of the applicant. If further clarification and/or information needed, the staff communicates with the applicant about the staff’s position and submits supplementary requests for additional information. The SAR or ESR and amendments responding to the requests for additional information are reviewed to
