Revision 5 – July 2014 (2) Examine and evaluate geologic features discovered in excavations for safety-related structures; and (3) Notify the NRC once excavations for safety-related structures are open for inspection by NRC staff. A geologic mapping license condition will be proposed in the staff SER for each COL site where plant excavations and geologic mapping have not been completed prior to a license being granted. Likewise, a geologic mapping permit condition will be proposed in the staff SER for each ESP site. For those COL or ESP sites where plant excavations and geologic mapping take place prior to a COL or ESP being granted, staff will evaluate the plant excavations and mapping as part of the application review. 5. Procedures for Staff Evaluation of Specific Areas of Review The staff follows procedures for review based on the six specific ‘Areas of Review’ defined in Subsection I to determine that an applicant has acceptably performed appropriate investigations for fulfilling applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23(c) and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2). While evaluating the six Areas of Review, reviewers will note all significant new information provided by an applicant regarding seismic and tectonic information (e.g., a seismic source or new tectonic model that was not included in the site PSHA) and coordinate closely with the PSHA reviewer of Section 2.5.2 to ensure consistency for information used in the hazard analyses. (1) Geologic, Seismic, and Geophysical Investigations. The reviewer evaluates results of the applicant’s geologic, seismic, and geophysical investigations by conducting a literature review on topics that affect staff’s understanding of the applicant’s safety analysis. The review should allow staff to determine that conclusions presented by the applicant are based on appropriate data for this review area and are consistent with both reports published by area experts and conclusions of staff. If conclusions and interpretations presented
