FR Part 52 Application Type 1. Early Site Permit Reviews 10 CFR Part 52, Subpart A, “Early Site Permits” specifies the requirements and procedures applicable to the Commission’s review of an ESP application for approval of a proposed site. Information required in an ESP application includes description of geologic, seismic, geophysical, geotechnical, and hydrologic characteristics of the proposed site. The staff shall ensure that the application includes geologic site characteristics that will form a set of values for design and construction of a new plant to be built at the site. At the COL stage and in the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39, “Finality of early site permit determinations” precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions on the ESP. Accordingly, the reviewer for SRP Section 2.5.3 shall ensure that all geologic characteristics that pertain to surface deformation and that could affect the design basis of SSCs important to safety, are reflected in the site characteristics, design parameters, and terms and conditions of the ESP. Nevertheless, this requirement does not relieve the applicant or permit holder
