stent soil columns together form the design basis that is used for the seismic analysis of the facilities. ii. Confirm that the ESP conditions have been met or review the COL applicant’s approach to address any deviations. iii. Follow the acceptance criteria described in Subsection II.1.A (excluding Subsection II.1.A.ii), of this SRP Section to develop the seismic design response spectra. The seismic SSI analysis would then follow the conventional approach for SSI analyses. D. COL Application not Referencing an ESP or DC. i. Site-specific FIRS and PBSRS are reviewed separately under this SRP section for adequacy. This review should include determination of the PBSRS at the surface and associated deterministically defined soil columns needed for determining the adequacy of the check on performance goal. The FIRS with the consistent soil columns together form the design basis that is used for the seismic analysis of the facilities. ii. Follow the acceptance criteria described in Subsection II.1.A (excluding Subsection II.1.A.ii), of this SRP Section to develop the seismic design response spectra. The seismic SSI analysis would then follow the conventional approach for SSI analyses. Technical Rationale: The technical rationale for application of these criteria to reviewing this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. GDC 2 requires, in the relevant parts, that SSCs important to safety be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes without loss of capability to perform their intended safety functions. GDC 2 further requires that the design bases reflect appropriate consideration for the most severe natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated in the past. SRP Section 3.7.1 describes acceptance criteria for developing seismic design parameters to
