ng of the exposed SSC. The suggested criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.27 apply when the water supply comprises part of the ultimate heat sink. 8. Consideration of Other Site-Related Evaluation Criteria. 10 CFR Part 100 describes site-related proximity, seismic, and non-seismic evaluation criteria for power reactor applications. Subpart A to 10 CFR Part 100 addresses the requirements for applications before January 10, 1997, and Subpart B is for applications on or after January 10, 1997. The staff’s review will include evaluation of pertinent information to determine if these criteria are appropriately used in postulation of worst-case tsunami scenarios. 9. Review Procedures Specific to 10 CFR Part 52 Application Types A. Construction Permit and Early Site Permit Reviews. Subpart A to 10 CFR Part 52 specifies the requirements and procedures applicable to the Commission’s issuance of ESPs for approval of a proposed site. Information required for an ESP includes a description of the characteristics of the proposed site. For an ESP, the scope and level of detail for reviewing data parallel those used for a CP review. In the absence of certain circumstances, such as a compliance or adequate protection issue, 10 CFR 52.39 precludes the staff from imposing new site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions on the early site permit at the COL stage. Accordingly, the reviewer should ensure that all physical attributes of the site that could affect the design basis of SSCs important to safety are reflected in the site characteristics, design parameters, or terms and conditions of the early site permit. The reviewer verifies that: B. Standard Design Certification Reviews. Applications for design certification do not contain general descriptions of site characteristics because this information is site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. However, pursuant to 10 CFR 52.47(a)(1), a DC applicant must provide site parameters postulated for the
