position 2 provides guidance in establishing appropriate procedures. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The review procedures consist of proposed specifications and procedures with the-flood protection and water supply design bases derived in the preceding sections, or considered necessary by the staff. Data in, or derived from, the preceding sections are used to estimate the time available to complete any required emergency action (e.g., sandbagging, shutdown, installing flood gates and stop logs). This information will also serve to substantiate the water levels and other conditions used to initiate the action. Specific questions on the structural adequacy of protective measures are referred to Structural Engineering Branch and the general experience of the Corps of Engineers in such situations, as reflected in reports and manuals, is the principal basis for comparison. Issues involving shutdown water supplies should be coordinated with Auxiliary Systems Branch. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS For both construction permit and operating license reviews the findings will consist of a brief statement of technical specifications and emergency procedures and time required to implement flood protection of safety-related facilities and assure an adequate water supply for safety-related equipment. The flood or water levels and other conditions at which action is to be initiated will also be stated. If none are required, the findings will so state. A sample Operating License statement follows: The staff concludes that the applicant's proposed emergency flood protection plan and corresponding plant shutdown technical specifica- tions are acceptable and meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.36 and General Design Criteria 2. Thi.s conclusion is based on the following: The applicant has provided an emergency flood protection plan designed to minimize the impact of floods exceeding plant grade on safety-related facilities, and a corresponding proposed technical-specification out- lining
