Content:
thermal power level of the facilities for which the site may be used; types of cooling systems used; and description of geologic, seismic, geophysical, geotechnical, and hydrologic characteristics of the proposed site. The scope and level of detail of review of data parallel that used for a CP review. The applicant should propose geologic site characteristics that will form a set of minimum values for design and construction of a new plant to be built at the site. In the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39 precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions on the early site permit at the COL stage. Accordingly, the reviewer should ensure that all geologic and seismic site characteristics that could affect the design basis of SSCs important to safety are reflected in the site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions of the early site permit. 2. Standard Design Certification Reviews DC applications do not contain general descriptions of site characteristics because this information is site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. However, pursuant to 10 CFR 52.47(a)(1), a DC applicant must provide site parameters postulated for the design. The reviewer verifies that: . a. The postulated site parameters are representative of a reasonable number of sites that have been or may be considered for a COL application; b. The appropriate site parameters are included as Tier 1 information. This convention has been used by previous DC applicants. Additional guidance on site parameters is provided in SRP Section 2.0; c. Pertinent parameters are stated in a site parameters summary table; and d. The applicant has provided a basis for each of the site parameters. 3. Combined License Reviews For a COL application referencing a certified standard design, NRC staff reviews that application to ensure sufficient information was presented to
