Revision 5 – July 2014 RG 4.7, "General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Stations," discusses the major site characteristics related to public health and safety that the reviewer considers in determining the suitability of sites for nuclear power stations. RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition,” discusses guidance for COL applications for nuclear power plants (light-water reactors (LWRs)). The reviewer should confirm that information provided in the application is complete, properly documented and consistent with applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23. The reviewer confirms that methods described in RG 1.208, or comparable methods, are employed for identifying and characterizing surface deformation features; and that the material conforms to format suggested in RG 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 For evaluating completeness and acceptability of the application, the reviewer should use published and unpublished scientific information derived from various sources that present geologic, geotechnical, seismic, geophysical, and related pertinent data for the site vicinity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. The reviewer shall ensure that investigations described in RG 1.208, and 4.7 are conducted with an appropriate level of thoroughness for the site vicinity, area, and location. The reviewer should confirm that the results of investigations in the site vicinity, area, and location are consistent with the information used to develop tectonic and ground-motion models in the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in Section 2.5.2. 1. Geologic, Seismic, and Geophysical Investigations. Requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi),or 10 CFR 52.79(a)(1)(iii) and 10 CFR 100.23(c) and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2), are met and
