Draft Revision 6 – September 2016 Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) and retained as a record. As part of confirmatory activities for the site audit review, staff might conduct an independent geologic reconnaissance of the site vicinity and area as necessary to examine soil and rock samples from core borings and test pits and geologic features in trenches and excavations for other site facilities. 3. Review of Supplemental Information The Phase 3 review is the final phase for resolving all open safety-related issues, an activity commonly associated with staff review of the applicant’s responses to RAIs. 4. Geologic Mapping License Condition Under the COL or ESP approach defined in 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, And Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants” the staff may have completed the SER and a license or permit may have been granted to the applicant before site excavations and geologic mapping of the excavations begin. Thus, new geologic features might be discovered in plant excavations, which have the potential to affect site safety. To ensure that the safety implications of new information are reviewed, staff must identify clear statements in the site-specific portion of the COL application that commit the applicant to: (1) Perform detailed geologic mapping of the excavations for safety related structures; (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
