site evaluation. The review will also determine whether the recommendations made following the CP or early site review have been implemented. A typical COL or OL-stage summary finding for this section of the SER follows: In our review of the seismologic aspects of the plant site, we have considered pertinent information gathered since our initial seismologic review that was made in conjunction with an early site review or the issuance of the CP. This new information includes data gained from both site and near-site investigations as well as from a review of recently published literature. 2.5.2-10 Rev. 3 - March 1997 As a result of our recent review of the seismologic information, we have determined that our earlier conclusion regarding the safety of the plant from a seismological standpoint remains valid. These conclusions can be summarized as follows: 1. Seismologic information provided by the applicant and required by 10 CFR 100.23 provides an adequate basis to establish that no seismic sources exist in the plant site area that would cause earthquakes to be centered there. 2. The response spectrum proposed for the SSE is the appropriate free-field response spectrum in conformance with 10 CFR 100.23. The new information reviewed for the proposed nuclear power plant is discussed in SER Section 2.5.2. The staff concludes that the site is acceptable from a seismologic standpoint and meets the requirements of (1) General Design Criterion 2 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, (2) 10 CFR Part 100, and (3) 10 CFR 100.23. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of: a. General Design Criterion 2 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, with respect to protection against natural phenomena such as faulting. b. 10 CFR Part 100, 'Reactor Site Criteria," with respect to the identification of geologic and seismic information used in determining the suitability of the site. c. 10 CFR 100.23 (Ref. 1) with respect to obtaining the geologic and
