t of the license application. The information reviewed includes data from site and near-site investigations, as well as a geologic reconnaissance of the site region, site vicinity, site area, and site location; an independent review of recently published literature; and discussions with knowledgeable scientists with the USGS, State Geological Surveys, local universities, consulting firms, or other non-governmental and professional organizations. Based on the staff review: (1) The geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations and other information provided by the applicant as required by 10 CFR 52.17 and 10 CFR 100.23 have been combined with the staff's independent review of the data and other information sources, including information from geologic reconnaissance of the site and region. These results provide an adequate basis to establish that no capable tectonic features or seismogenic sources exist in the plant site area that have a potential for causing surface or near-surface displacements or earthquakes to be centered at the site location. (2) Based on the results of the applicant's regional and site geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations and the staff's independent evaluation, the staff concludes that all seismic sources significant to determining the Ground Motion Response Spectrum (GRMS) for the site have been identified and appropriately characterized by the applicant in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.165 and 1.208 and Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 2.5.2. (3) Based on the applicant's geologic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations of the site vicinity and site area, the staff concludes that site lithology, stratigraphy, geologic history, structural geology, and characteristics of subsurface soils and rocks have been properly characterized. (4) There is no potential for occurrence of other non-tectonic geologic events (e.g., landsliding, collapse or subsidence related to occurrence of karst features
