Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 the site, information in the application must demonstrate the potential effects of surface deformation are within the design basis of the proposed facility. Review Considerations Specific to 10 CFR Part 52 Application Type 1. Early Site Permit Reviews 10 CFR Part 52, Subpart A 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 applicant shall propose 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 derfomation and that could affect the design basis of safety-related SSCs, 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 from the requirements of Part 52.6(b) to notify the NRC of new information having a significant implication for public health and safety or common defense and security that might be developed following issuance of an ESP. In order to verify that no geologic features or conditions exist beneath the safety-related structures at the site that could compromise plant safety, the staff proposes a permit condition requiring an applicant to: (1) perform detailed geologic mapping of the excavations for safety related structures; (2) examine and evaluate geologic
