or a tsunami to influence the design of plant SSC important to safety. Meeting the requirements of Section 100.10(c) provides a level of assurance that plant SSC important to safety have been designed to withstand the most severe hazards likely to occur as a result of a tsunami. Meeting the requirements of Section 100.20(c) provides a level of assurance that physical characteristics of the site with respect to seismology and hydrology have been considered appropriately in determining the acceptability of the site; the adequacy of the associated plant design bases will be evaluated pursuant to other SRP sections. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether data and analyses for the proposed site meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the data and analyses remain valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with these data. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of technical specifications related to is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique conditions. 2.4.6-8 Revision 3 -March 2007 These review procedures are based on identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant's evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. Historical Tsunami Data. The staff reviews historical tsunami data, including paleotsunami data, to determine the vulnerability of a proposed site to this phenomenon. Historical data may help in
