Content:
chnical specifications to shut down the plant and take appropriate emergency measures when the site is susceptible to flooding. This criterion also applies to measures needed to protect safety-related equipment. Regulatory Guide 1.59 discusses the design basis floods that nuclear power plants should be able to withstand without loss of capability to achieve and maintain cold shutdown. Regulatory Guide 1.102 describes types of flood protection acceptable to the NRC staff and acceptable methods for protecting plants from the effects of probable maximum precipitation falling directly on the site. For applications pursuant to 10 CFR Part 52, meeting the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 52.17 and 10 CFR 52.79 that correspond to GDC 2 provides a level of assurance that the most severe hydrologic site characteristics have been identified; whether GDC 2 is met with respect to the adequacy of the associated design bases will be evaluated pursuant to other SRP sections. 3. Sections 100.10(c) and 100.20(c) of 10 CFR Part 100 require that physical characteristics of a site (including seismology, meteorology, geology, and hydrology) be taken into account to determine its acceptability for a nuclear power reactor. Section 100.23 addresses the need to consider an adequate cooling water supply for emergency and shutdown decay heat removal in the design of a nuclear power plant. The evaluation shall include consideration of river blockage or diversion, tsunami runup or drawdown, and failure of dams and intake structures, as appropriate. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 100 provides assurance that technical specifications and emergency operations are consistent with severe phenomena and are adequate to ensure safe operation of SSC important to safety during adverse environmental conditions.
