REVIEW PROCEDURES Upon receiving the applicant's SAR or ESR, an acceptance review is conducted to determine compliance with the investigative requirements of 10 CFR Section 100.23 (Ref. 1). The reviewer also identifies any site-specific problems, the resolution of which could result in extended delays in completing the review. After SAR or ESR acceptance and docketing, the reviewer identifies areas that need additional information to support the review of the applicant's seismic design. These are transmitted to the applicant as requests for additional information. A site visit may be conducted, during which the reviewer inspects the geologic conditions at the site and the region around the site as shown in outcrops, borings, geophysical data, trenches, and those geologic conditions exposed 2.5.2-9 Rev. 3 - March 1997 during construction. The reviewer also discusses the questions with the applicant and his consultants so that it is clearly understood what additional information is required by the staff to continue the review. The reviewer evaluates the applicant's response to the questions, prepares requests for any additional information, and formulates positions that may agree or disagree with those of the applicant. These are formally transmitted to the applicant. The SAR or ESR and amendments responding to the requests for additional information are reviewed to determine that the information presented by the applicant is acceptable according to the criteria described in Section 11 (Acceptance Criteria) above. Based on information supplied by the applicant and information obtained from site visits, staff consultants, or literature sources, the reviewer independently identifies and evaluates the relevant seismic sources, including their capability, and determines the earthquake potential for each using procedures noted in Section II, Acceptance
