The following RGs should be consulted, as applicable, in connection with the review of this particular flood-causing mechanism: • Regulatory Guide 1.27, “Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Power Plants,” describes the applicable ultimate heat sink capabilities. • Regulatory Guide 1.29, “Seismic Design Classification for Nuclear Power Plants," identifies seismic design bases for SSCs important to safety. • Regulatory Guide 1.59, “Design Basis Floods for Nuclear Power Plants,” provides guidance for developing the hydro meteorological design bases. • Regulatory Guide 1.102, “Flood Protection for Nuclear Power Plants,” describes acceptable flood protection intended to prevent those SSCs important to safety from being adversely affected. These acceptance criteria should be addressed to the extent this flood-causing mechanism is found to be consequential at the power reactor site 1. Historical Tsunami Data.
