Content:
Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 Applying information derived from the application, other published and unpublished scientific literature, and the reviewer’s technical knowledge and professional judgment, the reviewer assesses the adequacy of geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical information cited in support of the applicant's conclusions concerning suitability of the proposed site. Depending on completeness of the application, staff also might need to conduct a literature review at an appropriate level of detail. However, the application and its supporting information should enable staff to logically progress from data and assumptions to conclusions drawn without the need for an extensive independent literature review. Staff should evaluate that an applicant has provided all pertinent data, including information that may support alternative interpretations to data or conclusions formed by the applicant. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” For COL applications referencing a DC rule, review of the site parameters in the design control document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” Review of site characteristics and site-related design parameters in ESP applications or in COL applications referencing an ESP is also performed under Section 2.0. 2. SRP Section 2.5.1, “Geologic Characterization Information.” Review and acceptance of the applicant's basic data-gathering processes and findings that are presented in support of the geologic and seismic assessments, and completeness of this information, is performed under SRP Section 2.5.1 on “Geologic Characterization Information.” Information in SRP Section 2.5.3 on the potential for surface deformation, including characteristics of Quaternary-aged faults, should be consistent
