s of Engineers, April 30, 2002 as applicable, so that the requirements of Item 1 listed above are met. In addition, the design of seismic Category I structures, as required by Item 2 listed above, has included load 3.4.2-6 Revision 3 - March 2007 combinations of the most severe flood or groundwater-related loads and the loads resulting from normal and accident conditions. The procedures used to determine the loadings on seismic Category I structures induced by the highest design flood or highest groundwater levels specified for the plant site are acceptable since these procedures have been used in the design of conventional structures and proven to provide an adequate basis which together with other engineering design considerations assures that the structures will withstand such environmental forces. The use of these procedures provides reasonable assurance that, in the event of floods or high groundwater, the structural integrity of the plant seismic Category I structures will not be impaired and, in consequence, safety related systems and components located within these structures will be adequately protected and may be expected to perform necessary safety functions, as required, thus satisfying the requirement of item 3 listed above. For an application referencing a certified plant design, the reviewer’s finding should include a concluding statement similar to the following: Historical data for the proposed site are consistent with the flood level identified in the site parameter envelope specified in the certified plant design documents. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. In addition, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other SER sections, the findings will summarize the staff's evaluation of the ITAAC, including design acceptance criteria, as applicable V.
