tory Guide 1.29 identifies the safety-related structures, systems, and components and Regula- tory Guide 1.102 describes acceptable flood protection to prevent the safety-related facilities from being adversely affected. Regulatory Guide 1.27 describes design criteria and provisions which the ultimate heat sink must meet. Regulatory Guide 1.125 provides guidance on the use of physi- cal models of hydraulic structures. Publications of the Corps of Engineers and USBR provide guidance for canal and reservoir design criteria. SRP Sections 2.4.3 through 2.4.7 provide basic hydrologic data for analyzing the hydraulic design of canals and reservoirs. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The conservatism of the applicant's design basis is judged against the criteria indicated above. SAR Sections 2.4.3, 2.4.4, 2.4.5, 2.4.6, and 2.4.7 should provide the basic data for analyzing the high flow hydraulic design basis of the facility. The applicant's hydraulic design basis is judged against stan- dard design practices discussed in Corps of Engineers (Waterway Experiment Station) or USBR publications. Low flow input data are taken from SAR Section 2.4.11. The review procedures consist of independently "designing" (hydro- logically and hydraulically) the applicant's facilities (e.g., dams, canals, spillways) using the above methods and comparing the resultant "design" with 'For those plants proposing multiple reservoirs for water supply, analyses must be provided to assure that storage allocated for safety-related water supply in alternate reservoirs will be available during postulated drought conditions. Additionally, evidence of the right to use the water consumptively must be documented. 2.4.8-3 Rev. 2 - July 1981 the applicant's. Wave and runup protection is evaluated using the methods of References 24 and 25. Subsequently, the staff will develop a position based on the analyses; resolve, if possible, differences between the applicant's and staff's design bases; and prepare the SER input
