conducted with an appropriate level of thoroughness by the applicant within the four areas designated in Regulatory Guide 1.165 and 1.208. These four areas are defined by circles drawn around the site using radii of 320 km (200 mi) for site region, 40 km (25 mi) for site vicinity, 8 km (5mi) for site area, and 1 km (0.6 mi) for site location. The reviewer should confirm that sufficient information is presented in the application to enable a comparison between new data derived from regional and site investigations and those data used in tectonic and ground motion models for PSHA. 1. Regional Geology (SAR Section 2.5.1.1) In meeting requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.17, and 10 CFR 100.23, SAR Section 2.5.1.1 will be considered acceptable if a complete and documented discussion is presented for all geologic (including tectonic and non- tectonic), geotechnical, seismic, and geophysical characteristics, as well as conditions caused by human activities, deemed important for safe siting and design of the plant. This section should contain a review of regional geologic and tectonic history, tectonic features (with emphasis on the Quaternary period), structural geology, seismology, 2.5.1-7 Revision 4 - March 2007 paleoseismology, physiography, geomorphology, stratigraphy, and lithology within a distance of 320 km (200 mi) from the site (i.e., the “site region”) to provide a framework within which significance to safety can be evaluated in regard to geology, seismology, and conditions caused by human activities. Geologic maps and cross-sections constructed at scales adequate to illustrate pertinent regional features should be included in the application. 2. Site Geology (SAR Section 2.5.1.2) In meeting requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50,10 CFR 52.17, 10 CFR 100.23, and regulatory positions presented in Regulatory Guides 1.165, 1.132, 1.138, 1.198, 1.208, and 4.7, SAR Section 2.5.1.2 will be considered acceptable if it
