Draft Revision 2 – April 2014 installation of blast walls, etc.) that may be applied against bounding waterborne vehicle bomb and assaults. (e) In addition to postulated flood conditions, equally important changes to topography of the site caused by low water (e.g., drought, set down resulting from surges, seiches, and tsunami, icing, dams, diversions, dam failures, low tide) conditions analyzed are considered for determining if resulting conditions would present challenges or impediments to design of engineered and administrative controls for security. Specifically, security measures can be provided to maintain a continuous physical barrier, detection, and response to protect against land-based coordinated assaults and vehicle bomb threats under potential low water conditions that result in pathways that are otherwise inaccessible because of water. 5. Geological and Seismology (a) The staff reviews the applicant’s assessment of geological and seismology characteristics for the proposed site for determining the adequacy of conclusions concerning the suitability of the plant site and establishing the ground motion environment for seismic design of a nuclear power plant or plants of specified type (or falling within a PPE) that might be constructed on the proposed site. The requirement of 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(x) is satisfied by considering identified regional seismic characteristics that could challenge or pose impediments to engineered and administrative controls required for a physical protection system, and the information demonstrates that security plans and measures can be developed. (b) Information demonstrating that security measures and plans can be developed may reference and describe plans to comply with applicable codes and standards, such as national building codes, consensus industry standards, and independent laboratories’ certification, which establish standards and criteria for the structural designs and specifications, equipment and material, and
