portant to safety being designed to withstand the effects of tsunami. Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANbARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate. to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington. D.C. 205EE. 2. 10 CFR Part 100 as it relates to identifying and evaluating hydrologic features of the site. 3. 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A as it relates to investigating the tsunami potential at the site and determining the design bases for tsunami flooding. To meet the requirements of GDC 2, 10 CFR-Part 100, and 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A with respect to tsunami and the analysis thereof, the following specific criteria are used: 1. If it has been determined that tsunami estimates are necessary to iden- tify flood or low water design bases, the analysis will be considered complete if the following areas are addressed and can be independently and comparably evaluated from the applicant's submission: a. All potential distant and local tsunami generators, including vol- canoes and areas of potential landslides, are investigated and the
