ign basis, wind wave and runup protection, discharge facilities (e.g., low-level outlet, spillways, etc.), outlet protection, freeboard, and erosion and sedimentation processes is needed. These design bases should be consistent with the site characteristics identified in other hydrology sections of the SAR and with the proposed plant requirements. 2.4.8-5 Revision 3 - March 2007 4. Consideration of Other Site-Related Evaluation Criteria: To meet the requirements of GDC 1, GDC 2, 10 CFR 52.17, and 10 CFR Part 100, a complete description of the potential effects of site-related proximity, seismic, and non-seismic information on the postulated design bases of safety-related canals and reservoirs is needed. This description should be sufficient to demonstrate that the applicant’s design bases appropriately account for these effects. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with GDC 1 requires that SSC important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. GDC 1 applies to this SRP section because canals and reservoirs supply cooling water to SSC important to safety for use during normal operations, anticipated operational occurrences, and accident conditions. Meeting the requirements of GDC 1 provides assurance that SSC important to safety requiring cooling water will not lose the capability to perform their intended safety functions during the most severe credible natural phenomena in combination with normal operations, anticipated operational occurrences, or accident conditions. 2. Compliance with GDC 2 requires that nuclear power plant SSC important to safety be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their
