CFR Title: 

Content:
conditions and weathering depths, landslide potential, locations of oil and gas wells, faults, and joints. Maps should include superimposed plot plans of plant facilities, and the relationship of all Seismic Category I facilities to subsurface geology should be illustrated. Locations of all plant structures, borings, trenches, test pits, seismic and geophysical data collection profiles, and geologic cross-sections should also be included on plot plans. All geologic terminology used should conform to that found in standard references (Reference 7). Applying knowledge derived from the application, other published and unpublished scientific literature, and the reviewer’s own academic background and practical experience in geoscience, the reviewer assesses adequacy of the geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical information cited in support of the applicant's conclusions concerning suitability of the plant site. Staff may bring the review to an earlier completion if the application contains sufficient data to enable an independent assessment of the conclusions therein. Depending on completeness of the application, staff also may conduct a literature search at an appropriate level of detail. However, the application and its supporting information should enable staff to logically progress from data and assumptions to conclusions drawn without the need for an extensive independent literature search. Staff should present and evaluate all pertinent data, including information which is potentially controversial. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. Review and acceptance of the applicant's basic data-gathering processes and findings that are presented in support of the geologic and seismic assessments, and completeness of this information, is performed under SRP Section 2.5.1 on “Basic Geologic and Seismic Information.” 2. Review of historical earthquake data to determine the Ground Motion Response Spectrum (GRMS) is
