itigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. 4. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix S, “Earthquake Engineering Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” as it applies to the design of nuclear power plant SSCs important to safety to withstand the effects of earthquakes and surface deformation. 5. 10 CFR Part 100, "Reactor Site Criteria," provides the criteria which guide the evaluation of the suitability of proposed sites for nuclear power and testing reactors. 6. 10 CFR 100.23, "Geologic and Seismic Criteria," provides the nature of the investigations required to obtain the geologic and seismic data necessary to determine site suitability and identify geologic and seismic factors required to be taken into account in the siting and design of nuclear power plants. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC 2.5.4-6 Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Appropriate sections of the following Regulatory Guides (RGs) are used by the staff for the identified acceptance criteria: RG 1.27, "Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Power Plants," describes a basis acceptable to the staff that may be used to implement GDCs 2 and 44 with regard to the ultimate heat sink, including necessary retaining structures and the canals and conduits connecting the ultimate heat sink with the cooling water system intake structures. RG 1.28, "Quality Assurance Program
