e public as part of the CommissIon's policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are 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 all 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 Informa- tion and 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. s and acceptable if the following areas are addressed and can be independently and comparably evaluated from the applicant's submission. 1. All reasonable combinations of probable maximum hurricane, moving squall line, or other cyclonic wind storm parameters are investigated, and the most critical combination is selected for use in estimating a water level. 2. Models used in the evaluation are verified or have been previously approved by the staff. 3. Detailed descriptions of bottom profiles are provided (or are readily obtainable) to enable an independent staff estimate of surge levels. 4. Detailed descriptions of shoreline protection and safety-related facilities are provided to enable an independent' staff estimate of wind-generated waves, runup, and potential erosion and sedimentation. 5. Ambient water levels, including tides and sea level anomalies, are esti- mated using NOAA and Corps of Engineers publications as described below. 6. Combinations of surge levels and waves that may be critical to plant design are considered, and adequate information is supplied to allow a determination that no adverse combinations have been omitted. 7.
