Content:
oil and rock properties is provided in RG 1.138. Guidance on procedures and criteria for assessing seismic soil liquefaction is provided in RG 1.198. Meeting these requirements provides assurance that plant SSCs will withstand the effects of seismic events, thereby minimizing the probability that a failure would initiate an accident or exacerbate the consequences of an accident. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, DC applications and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether data and 2.5.4-18 Revision 5 – July 2014 analyses for the proposed site meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the data and analyses remain valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with these data. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to the stability of subsurface materials and foundations is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique conditions. DC applications do not contain site specific characteristics; however, site parameters postulated for the design need to be reviewed using the procedures described below. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. General Review Procedures The review process is conducted in a similar manner and concurrent with that described in SRP Section 2.5.1. The services of consultants are used on selected sites to aid the staff in evaluating the geotechnical engineering aspects of particular sites. The results of site
