te and/or gunite. 6. The plans for monitoring during and after construction to detect occurrences that could detrimentally affect the facility. Such monitoring includes periodic examination of slopes, survey of settlement monuments, and measurements of local wells and piezometers. 2.5.5-8 Revision 3 - March 2007 Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: Compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a requires that structures, systems, and components be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected as specified by applicable codes and standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. Standards developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are used to perform soil analyses and tests for determining the static and dynamic properties of soils and rock for all earth and rock slopes, natural or manmade. To satisfy the geotechnical engineering requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, the applicant's SAR must contain a description of soil and rock characteristics and include static and dynamic analyses of all cuts, fills, embankments, dams, and other earthworks at or on the proposed site. This information will permit the staff to assess the acceptability of the proposed site and to determine the potential influence of these characteristics on the design of structures, systems, and components designated as important to safety. Meeting these requirements provides assurance that plant structures, systems, and components important to safety will withstand appropriately severe static and dynamic loads. Compliance with GDC 1 requires that structures, systems, and components be tested in accordance with quality standards commensurate with the importance of their safety functions; that test standards be applicable and sufficient; and that appropriate records maintained.
