CFR Title: 

Content:
hquake magnitude, focal depth, source dimensions, fault orientation, and vertical displacement. The applicant's values for parameters used to model tsunami, which may represent the upper bounds of the parameters, will be reviewed. If there is disagreement with the applicant's proposed values, the ECGB will provide alternative values.4 For a standard design certification applications, the maximum flood level (from all sources) and seismic parameters are specified in the site parameter envelope that must be met by the plant design.5 Review Interfaces6 The ECGB also reviews, under SRP Section 2.3.6 (proposed), the adequacy of the site parameter envelope specified in standard design certification applications. The ECGB also reviews, under SRP Section 2.4.2, the limiting flood level specified in the site parameter envelope for design certifications.7 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for this SRP section relate to the following regulations: 1. General Design Criterion 2 (GDC 2) as it relates to structures, systems, and components important to safety being designed to withstand the effects of tsunami. 2. 10 CFR Part 100 as it relates to identifying and evaluating hydrologic features of the site. 3. 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, as it relates to investigating the tsunami potential at the site and determining the design bases for tsunami flooding. To meet the requirements of GDC 2; 10 CFR Part 100; and 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, with respect to tsunami and the analysis thereof, the following specific criteria are used: 1. If it has been determined that tsunami estimates are necessary to identify flood or low water design bases, the analysis will be considered complete if the following areas are addressed and can be independently and comparably evaluated from the applicant's submission: a. All potential distant and local tsunami generators, including volcanoes and areas of potential landslides, are investigated and the most critical ones are selected. b.
