Content:
23(d)(2) requires that the geologic and seismic siting factors considered for design include a determination of the potential for surface tectonic and non-tectonic deformations. Sufficient geological, seismological and geophysical data must be provided to clearly establish whether there is a potential for surface deformation. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC 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 (RG) 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, seismologic, and geotechnical investigations; and guidance on assessing surface-fault rupture and associated deformation at the site (Appendix C.2.4).
