ion derived by the site-specific geological, seismological, and geophysical investigations that had not been applied to the tectonic and ground motion models used in the PSHA. Appendix E of Regulatory Guide 1.165 (Ref. 3) discusses an acceptable method to address significant new information in the PSHA. A typical finding for this section of the SER follows: In its review of the geological and seismological aspects of the plant site, the staff considered pertinent information gathered during the regional and site-specific geological, seismological, and geophysical investigations. The information includes data gathered from both site and near-site investigations and from an independent review of state-of- the-art published literature and other sources by the staff. As a result of this review, the staff concludes that the geological, seismological, and geophysical investigations and information provided by the applicant in accordance with 10 CFR 100.23 and Regulatory Guide 1.165 provide an adequate basis to establish that no capable tectonic sources exist in the plant site vicinity that would cause surface deformation or localize earthquakes there. The information reviewed for the proposed nuclear power plant concerning the potential for near-surface tectonic deformation is summarized in SER Section 2.5.3. 2.5.3-9 Rev. 3 - March 1997 The staff concludes that the site is suitable from the perspective of tectonic surface deformation and meets the requirements of: (1) General Design Criterion 2 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and (2) 10 CFR 100.23. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of: a. General Design Criterion 2 in ADpendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 with respect to protection against natural phenomena such as faulting. b. 10 CFR 100.23. Geologic and Seismic Siting Factors, with respect to obtaining the geological and seismological information necessary (1) to determine site suitability, (2) to determine the appropriate
