REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Hydrologic & Geotechnical Engineering Branch (HGEB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The purpose of this section of the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) is to identify natural events that may reduce or limit the available cooling water supply, and to assure that an adequate water supply will exist to operate or shut down the plant under normal and emergency conditions. Depending on the site, the areas of review include: 1. The worst drought considered reasonably possible in the region. 2. Low-water (setdown) resulting.from surges, seiches, or tsunami. 3. Low water resulting from icing. 4. The effect of existing and proposed water control structures (dams, diversions, dam failures, etc.). 5. The intake structure and.pump design basis in relation to the events described in SAR Sections 2.4.11.1, 2.4.11.2, 2.4.11.3, and 2.4.11.4. 6. The use limitations imposed or under discussion by Federal, state, or local agencies authorizing the use of the water. 7. The range of water supply required by -the plant, including minimum operating and shutdown flows, compared to availability. 8. The effects of potential blockage of intakes by sediment and littoral drift. Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regultion staff responsible for the review of pplications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Comms sion'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
