10 CFR Part 100.20(c), as applicable] and [10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2] [or] 10 CFR 52.79]], with respect to determining the acceptability of the site. The staff finds that the applicant has considered the appropriate site phenomena for establishing the design bases for SSCs important to safety. The staff has generally accepted the methodologies used to determine the effects of probable maximum tsunami hazards reflected in these site characteristics, as documented in safety evaluation reports for previous licensing actions. Accordingly, the staff concludes that the use of these methodologies results in site characteristics containing margin sufficient for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the data have been accumulated. The staff concludes that the identified site characteristics meet the relevant requirement(s) of 10 CFR Part 100.10(c) [or 10 CFR Part 100.20(c)] and [10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2] [or] 10 CFR 52.79]], with respect to establishing the design basis for SSCs important to safety. 2.4.6-13 Revision 3 -March 2007 2. Early Site Permit Reviews The following statements should be preceded by a summary of the site characteristics and design parameters to be included in any ESP that might be issued for the proposed site: As set forth above, the applicant has presented and substantiated sufficient information pertaining to the effects of probable maximum tsunami hazards at the proposed site. Section 2.4.6, “Probable Maximum Tsunami Hazards,” of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan, provides that the site safety analysis report should address the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 52 and 100 as they relate to identifying and evaluating the effects of probable maximum tsunami hazards. Further, the applicant considered the most severe natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area while describing the probable maximum tsunami hazards, with sufficient
