REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of issues related to hydrology Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Chapter 2 of the Standard Review Plan (SRP) discusses the site characteristics that could affect the safe design and siting of a plant. The staff reviews information presented by the applicant for a construction permit (CP), operating license (OL), design certification (DC), early site permit (ESP), or combined license (COL) concerning hydrological setting of the site as they relate to safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSC). This SRP section applies to reviews performed for each of these types of applications. The staff’s review and findings are described in the appropriate section of the safety evaluation report (SER). In this section of the applicant’s safety analysis report (SAR), the hydraulic design basis is developed for canal and reservoirs used to transport and impound water supplied to the SSC important to safety. 2.4.8-2 Revision 3 - March 2007 The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. Hydraulic Design Bases for Protection of Structures: The staff review the design bases postulated and used by the applicant for protection of structures such as riprap inasmuch as they apply to safety-related water supply. Hydraulic Design Bases of Canals: The staff review design bases of canals pertaining to capacity, protection against wind waves, erosion, sedimentation, and freeboard, and the ability to withstand a probable maximum flood (PMF), surges, etc. inasmuch as they apply to safety-related water supply. 2. Hydraulic Design Bases of Reservoirs: The staff review design bases of reservoirs pertaining to capacity, PMF design basis, wind wave and runup protection, discharge facilities (e.g., low-level outlet, spillways, etc.), outlet protection, freeboard, and erosion and sedimentation processes inasmuch as they apply to safety-related water supply. 3. Consideration of Other Site-Related Evaluation
