licable portions of References 1 and 2, and the guidance contained in References 3, 4, 5, and 6, the conclusion in the SER states that the information provided and investigations performed support the applicant's conclusions regarding the geological and seismological integrity of the proposed nuclear power plant site. Licensing conditions instituted by the staff to resolve any significant deficiency identified in 2.5.1-8 Rev. 3 - March 1997 the applicant's SAR or ESR are stated in sufficient detail to make clear the precise nature of concern and required resolution. Determinations with respect to the geological and seismological suitability of the site are made by the staff after the early site, construction permit, or operating license reviews. A conclusion regarding an operating license will include an evaluation of the'excavations for Seismic Category I structures. A conclusion regarding the geological and seismological suitability of a site following a combined license review will be made when the applicant has committed to mapping excavations for Seismic Category I facilities and notifying the staff of their availability for examination. The staff will conduct this examination at the appropriate time after licensing to confirm that there are no previously unknown features such as potentially active faults, evidence for strong ground motions such as late Quaternary seismically induced paleoliquefaction features, unsuitable soil zones, or cavities in the excavations. This final staff visit, in addition to determining whether there is any new information since the combined licensing review, ensures that the staff recommendations or conditions formulated by the staff during the combined licensing review have been implemented. A typical staff finding at the conclusion of the licensing review follows. In its review of the geological and seismological aspects of the plant, the staff has considered pertinent information gathered in support of the application for a
