Content:
ded in the application is complete; properly documented; consistent with applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23(c); shows that methods described in RG 1.208, or comparable methods, were employed for identifying and characterizing the geologic information as it pertains to consideration of natural hazard phenomena that might affect the site; and conforms to the format suggested in RG 1.206. For evaluating completeness and acceptability of the application, the reviewer should use published and unpublished scientific information derived from various sources that present geologic, geotechnical, seismic, geophysical, and related data for the region in which the site is located. These sources include the United States Geological Survey (USGS); other Federal and State agencies; and academia, industry, and other non-governmental and professional organizations. The reviewer must ensure that the applicant’s investigations are conducted at an appropriate level of thoroughness, with an increasing level of detail progressing from site region to site location as indicated in RG 1.208. The reviewer should confirm that sufficient information is presented in the application to support the site suitability analyses reviewed in SRP Sections 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.5.4, and 2.5.5 that the technical information used in these analyses is consistent with the geologic information reviewed in SRP Section 2.5.1. Site specific features that may not have been captured in the regional PSHA model, reviewed in SRP 2.5.2, are of particular concern for the review in this section. 1. Regional Geology (SAR Section 2.5.1.1) Requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.17 and 10 CFR 100.23 (c) are met and guidance in RGs 1.206, 1.208 and 4.7 followed for this area of review if a complete and documented discussion is presented for the geologic setting, tectonic framework and conditions caused by human activities, that have the potential to affect the safe siting and design of the plant.
