Revision 6 – October 2019 In order to verify that no geologic features or conditions exist beneath the safety- related structures at the site that could affect the design and operation of the facility, the staff proposes a license condition requiring an applicant to: (1) perform detailed geologic mapping of the excavations for safety related structures; (2) examine and evaluate geologic features discovered in excavation for safety-related structures; and (3) notify the NRC once excavations for safety-related structures are open for inspection by NRC staff. For COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. IV. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC, COL, or ESP applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, And Approvals For Nuclear Power Plants,” or CP and OL applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50. The staff will use the method described herein, to evaluate conformances with Commission regulations. If the applicant proposes an alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the applicant must demonstrate the acceptability of its alternate method. V.
