The evaluation should support the staff’s conclusions as to whether the regulations are met. The staff should state what was done to evaluate the applicant’s safety analysis report and then summarize the staff’s technical evaluation of that information in its SER. The staff’s evaluation may include verification that the applicant followed applicable regulatory guidance, performed independent calculations, and/or validated appropriate assumptions.

If found to be consequential, the acceptance criteria call for the submittal of the following to establish the design basis: an inundation map depicting water surface elevations across the reactor site, information on flood event duration, and associated effects consistent with projected flooding depths and durations. As mentioned above, the staff
