ologic and seismic effects at the proposed site. The site- specific GMRS satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 100.23 with respect to the development of the SSE. 10 CFR 100.23(c) further specifies that all geologic and seismic factors that may 2.5.3-10 Revision 4 - March 2007 affect design and operation of the proposed nuclear power plant must be investigated. 10 CFR 100.23(d) requires that the geologic and seismic siting factors considered for design include a determination of the potential for surface tectonic and non-tectonic deformations. Application of GDC 2, or 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi) for ESP applications, and 10 CFR 100.23 provides assurance that the most severe geologic and seismic conditions at the proposed plant site have been identified, and that geologic and seismic elements of the site have been adequately investigated and characterized. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether geologic and seismic information for the proposed site meets the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the geologic and seismic information remains valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with this information. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to continued seismic surveillance is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any unique geologic and seismic conditions which are identified. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant's evaluation of how the proposed
