have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated. 4. 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi), for ESP applications, and 10 CFR 52.79(a)(1)(iii), for COL applications, as they relate to identifying hydrologic site characteristics with appropriate consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding areas and with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC's regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC's regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Appropriate sections of the following Regulatory Guides are used by the staff for the identified acceptance criteria: Regulatory Guide 1.27 describes the applicable ultimate heat sink capabilities. 2.4.6-5 Revision 3 -March 2007 Regulatory Guide 1.29 identifies seismic design bases for safety-related structures, systems, and components. Regulatory Guide 1.59 provides guidance for developing the hydrometeorological design bases. Regulatory Guide 1.102 describes acceptable flood protection to prevent the SSC important to safety from being adversely affected. 1. Historical Tsunami Data. The application should provide a complete description of historical tsunami data near the proposed plant site. This description should
