ary to determine site suitability and identify geologic and seismic factors required to be taken into account in the siting and design of nuclear power plants. (Ref. 7) The following Regulatory Guides provide information, recommendations, and guidance and in general describe a basis acceptable to the staff that may be used to implement the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a; 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria 1, 2 and 44; 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B; 10 CFR Part 100; and 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A. 1. Regulatory Guide 1.27, "Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Power Plants." This guide describes a basis acceptable to the staff that may be used to implement General Design Criteria 2 and 44 with regard to the ultimate heat sink, including necessary retaining structures and the canals and conduits connecting the ultimate heat sink with the cooling water system intake structures. (Ref. 8) 2.5.4-4 Rev. 2 - July 1981 2. Regulatory Guide 1.28, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Design and Construction)." This guide describes a method acceptable to the staff for complying with the Commission's regulations with regard to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, overall quality assurance program requirements during design and construction of nuclear power plants. (Ref. 9) 3. Regulatory Guide 1.132, "Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants." This guide describes programs of site investigations related to geotechnical engineering aspects that would normally meet the needs for evaluating the safety of the site from the standpoint of the performance of foundation and earthworks under anticipated loading conditions including earthquake in complying with 10 CFR Part 100 and 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A. It provides general guidance and recom- mendations for developing site-specific investigation programs as well as specific guidance for conducting subsurface investigations, the spacing and depth of borings and sampling.
