ameters used for the plant: As set forth above, the applicant has presented and substantiated information to establish the stability of all earth and rock slopes, both natural and manmade at the plant site. The staff has reviewed the investigations performed for slope stability studies and dam and dike analyses and, for the reasons given above, concludes that the design analyses contain margins of safety which adequately demonstrate that natural and manmade slopes will remain stable under SSE, floods, tsunamis, and other potential adverse conditions and that safety-related earthwork will function reliably at the site to justify the soil and rock characteristics used in the design. The staff further concludes that the design analyses contain adequate margins of safety for construction and operation of the nuclear power plant and meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A (GDCs 1, 2, and 44); Appendices B and S of 10 CFR Part 50; and 10 CFR 100.23. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL information items relevant to this SRP section V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted 6 months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. VI.
