re made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and olicies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required The standard review pan section are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclar Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Information and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington.

Seismic sources that have any part within 320 km (200 miles) of the site must be identified. More distant sources that have a potential for earthquakes large enough to affect the site must also be identified. Seismic sources can be capable tectonic sources or seismogenic sources; a seismotectonic province is a type of seismogenic source. Specific areas of review include seismicity (Subsection 2.5.2.1), geologic and tectonic characteristics of the site and region (Subsection 2.5.2.2), correla- tion of earthquake activity with seismic sources (Subsection 2.5.2.3), probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and controlling earthquakes (Subsection 2.5.2.4), seismic wave transmission characteristics of the site (Subsection 2.5.2.5), and safe shutdown earthquake ground motion (Subsection 2.5.2.6). The geotechnical engineering aspects of the site and the models and methods employed in the analysis of soil and foundation response to the ground motion environment are reviewed under Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 2.5.4.
