Content:
ents of 10 CFR 100.23; shows that methods described in Regulatory Guide 1.165, 1.208, or comparable methods, were employed for identifying and characterizing seismic sources and defining the GMRS; and conforms to format suggested in Regulatory Guide 1.206. For evaluating completeness and acceptability of the application, the reviewer should use published and unpublished scientific information derived from various sources that present geologic, geotechnical, seismic, geophysical, and related pertinent data for the site vicinity and site area in which the site is located. These sources include the United States Geological Survey (USGS); other Federal and State agencies; and academia, industry, and non-governmental and professional organizations. It is the responsibility of the reviewer to remain up-to-date on geologic, geotechnical, geophysical, and seismic information for the site vicinity, site area, and site location by regularly reviewing current scientific literature deemed pertinent and participating in professional meetings at which this information is presented. The reviewer must ensure that investigations described in Regulatory Guides 1.165, 1.132, 1.198, 1.208, and 4.7 are conducted with an appropriate level of thoroughness by the applicant within each of the three areas designated in Regulatory Guide 1.165 and 1.208. These three areas are defined by circles drawn around the site using radii of 40 km (25 mi) for site vicinity, 8 km (5mi) for site area, and 1 km (0.6 mi) for site location. The site area and site location must be investigated by a combination of exploratory methods that include borings, trenching, geologic mapping, and geophysical, seismic, and geotechnical field investigations. Exploration results must be compared with other available data and evaluated by staff. The reviewer should confirm that sufficient information is presented in the application to enable a comparison 2.5.3-7 Revision 4 - March 2007 between new data derived from
