ly in the form of a requirement to design for a specific condition in a way which the staff considers to be sufficiently conservative and consistent with the requisites of Reference 3. When all safety issues have been resolved, the staff provides its input to the safety evaluation report (SER). IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS If the evaluation by the staff, on completion of the review of the geologic and seismologic aspects of the plant site and region, confirms .that the applicant has met the requirements of applicable portions of References 1, 2, and 3 and the guidelines contained in References 4 and 5, the conclusion in the SER states that the information provided and investigations performed support the applicant's conclusions regarding the geologic and seismic integrity of the proposed nuclear power plant site. Staff reservations about any significant deficiency presented in the applicant's SAR are stated in sufficient detail to make clear the precise nature of concern. The above evaluation determinations are made by the staff during both the construction permit (CP) and operating license (OL) phases of review. Operating license (OL) applications are reviewed for any new information devel- oped subsequent to the construction permit.(CP) safety evaluation report (SER). The review will also determine whether the CP recommendations have been implemented. A typical OL-stage finding for this section of the SER follows: In our review of the geologic and seismologic aspects of the plant we have considered pertinent information gathered since our initial geologic and seismologic review which was made in conjunction with the issuance of the construction permit. This new information includes data gained from both site and near-site investigations as well as from a review of recently-published literature. As a result of our recent review 'of the geologic and seismologic information, we have determined that our earlier conclusion regarding the safety of the plant from a geological
