Content:
of review if a complete and documented discussion is presented for the geologic setting, tectonic framework and conditions caused by human activities, that have the potential to affect the safe siting and design of the plant. This section should contain a review of regional stratigraphy, lithology, structural geology, geologic and tectonic history, tectonic features (with emphasis on the Quaternary period), seismology, geomorphology, paleoseismology, and physiography within the 320 km (200 mi) site region or beyond as necessary to provide a framework within which significance to safety can be evaluated concerning geology, seismology, and conditions caused by human activities. Geologic maps and cross-sections constructed at scales adequate to illustrate relevant regional features should be included in the application. 2. Local Geology (SAR Section 2.5.1.2) Requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.17, 10 CFR 52.79 and 10 CFR 100.23 (c) are met and guidance in RGs 1.206, 1.208 and 4.7 followed for this area of review if it contains a description and evaluation of geologic features, tectonic features, and conditions caused by human activities at appropriate levels of detail for determining any potential natural hazards that might affect the design and operation of the proposed facility. This subsection should contain the following information: a. Structural geology, including identification and characterization of faults, joints, and other tectonic deformation features and discussion of the relationships between these features and regional tectonic structures. b. Geologic maps and cross-sections constructed at scales adequate to clearly illustrate pertinent features in the site vicinity, area and location shall be included in the application. 2.5.1-8 Revision 5 – July 2014 c. Stratigraphy and lithology of rock units and discussion of their relationships to the regional lithostratigraphic framework. d. Geomorphologic features as tectonic strain
