elow, to assure that the inte- grated design of the underground drainage system is capable of performing its safety function and that the.flood protection utilized is compatible with the maximum flood elevation established for the plant site. Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. Thee documents are made available to the public as part of the Cormission's policy to inform the nuclear industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review pans ar not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not n 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 inforrna. tion end 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. D.C. Coordinated reviews are performed by other branches and the results used by the ASB to complete the overall evaluation of the flood protection. The coordinated reviews are as follows: The Hydrologic and Geotechnical Engineering Branch (HGEB) reviews the under- ground drainage system as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 2.4.13. The HGEB also verifies the elevations and coincident condi- tions determined for the various conditions of site flooding, including the adequacy of the type of flood protection utilized as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Sections 2.4.1 through 2.4.14. The Structural Engineering Branch (SEB) determines
