Content:
Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 seismic surveillance is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any unique geologic and seismic conditions that are identified. For deviations from acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant's evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II, “Acceptance Criteria.” Procedures for staff review provide a process to determine that an applicant has adequately performed investigations appropriate for fulfilling applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23(c) and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2). Based on 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2), applicant is required to provide an assessment of the potential for surface deformation at the site related to both tectonic and non- tectonic phenomena. General guidelines an applicant may follow to determine presence and extent of surface deformation features in the site vicinity, area or location are found in Appendix C.2.4 of RG 1.208. Review Process During the regulatory review process, the reviewer follows specific regulatory requirements promulgated in the Code of Federal Regulations, the regulatory guidelines and the acceptance criteria in this SRP. The review process, with staff’s responsibilities described within each step, is applied for CP, OL, ESP or COL applications. 1. Acceptance Review The acceptance review is a brief, high level review of the application to evaluate its completeness and identify safety issues that could cause delay in subsequent phases of the review process. Acceptance or rejection of the application for detailed review is governed by two criteria: (1) adherence to standard format for identifying and describing characteristics and features that might indicate a potential for surface deformation which might adversely affect suitability of the site; and (2) provision of adequate information and documentation as described in the requirements of GDC
