uent strength degradation. Regulatory Guide 4.7, "General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Stations" (Reference 16), discusses major site characteristics related to public health and safety which are considered by a reviewer for determining suitability of sites for nuclear power facilities. Regulatory Guide 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition” (Reference 17), discusses guidance for combined license applications for nuclear power plants (LWRs). The reviewer should confirm that information provided in the application is complete; properly documented; consistent with requirements of 10 CFR 100.23; shows that methods described in Regulatory Guide 1.165, 1.208, or comparable methods, were employed for identifying and characterizing seismic sources and defining the GMRS; and conforms to the format suggested in Regulatory Guide 1.206. For evaluating completeness and acceptability of the application, the reviewer should use published and unpublished scientific information derived from various sources that present geologic, geotechnical, seismic, geophysical, and related data for the region in which the site is located. These sources include the United States Geological Survey (USGS); other Federal and State agencies; and academia, industry, and other non- governmental and professional organizations. It is the responsibility of the reviewer to remain up-to-date on geologic, geotechnical, geophysical, and seismic information about a site or site region by regularly reviewing current scientific literature deemed pertinent and participating professional meetings at which this information is presented. The reviewer must ensure that investigations described in Regulatory Guides 1.165, 1.132, 1.138, 1.198, 1.208, and 4.7 are conducted with an appropriate level of thoroughness by the applicant within the four areas designated in Regulatory Guide 1.165 and 1.208.
