Content:
Draft Revision 6 – September 2016 assure that the application provides an acceptable evaluation of the relationships between the regional (tectonic and non-tectonic) framework and deformation features in the site vicinity, including growth faults and growth fault systems. The staff should confirm that the application describes how this information is used in the evaluation of potential for future surface deformation at the site. 6. Potential for Surface Deformation at the Site. 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 satisfied for this area of review if the staff finds that the applicant assesses the potential future tectonic and nontectonic surface deformation at the site. The staff should confirm that the application provides sufficient geological, seismological, and geophysical information to clearly establish whether there is a potential for future surface deformation at the site. If the potential for future surface deformation exists at the site, the staff must identify information in the application that demonstrates the potential effects of surface deformation are within the design basis of the proposed facility. As stated in RG 1.208, staff should consider that it is prudent to avoid a site that has a potential for surface or near-surface deformation, as such sites will require extensive additional investigations. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the area of review addressed by this SRP section is as follows: Application of GDC 2 or 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi) for ESP applications, 10 CFR 52.79 for COLs and 10 CFR 100.23 requires assurance that all geologic and seismic factors that might affect the design and operation of the proposed facility are identified and adequately investigated and characterized. Application of 10 CFR 100.23(c) requires that the geologic and seismic characteristics
