osed site with consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and the surrounding area and with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and time in which the historical data have been accumulated SRP Acceptance Criteria SRP Section 2.5.1 provides the specific acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations. The SRP is not a substitute for NRC regulations, and compliance with it is not required. An applicant may propose alternative methods that may be deemed acceptable for complying with the intent of 10 CFR 52.47 (a) (9), “Contents of applications; technical information.” In that case, the applicant will identify the differences between this SRP and the proposed alternative design features, analytical techniques and procedural measures along with a discussion of how the alternative does provide an acceptable method to comply with the regulations. Appropriate sections of the following RGs are used by the staff for the identified acceptance criteria: RG 1.208, “A Performance-Based Approach to Define Site-Specific Earthquake Ground Motion,” describes methods acceptable for conducting geologic, geophysical, seismic, and geotechnical investigations. RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition, discusses guidance for combined license applications for nuclear power plants (LWRs)”. 2.5.1-7 Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 RG 4.7, "General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Stations," discusses major site characteristics related to public health and safety which are considered by a reviewer for determining suitability of sites for nuclear power facilities. The reviewer should confirm that information provided in the application is complete; properly documented; consistent with applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23(c); shows that methods described in RG 1.208, or comparable methods, were employed for
