teria for water cooled nuclear power plants. The regulations at 10 CFR 52.79(a)(29) state, in part, that an application for a combined license must contain a final safety analysis report that includes plans for the conduct of normal operations, including maintenance, surveillance, and periodic testing of SSCs. • Furthermore, 10 CFR 50.65, “Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants,” requires, in part, that holders of an operating license of a nuclear power plant shall monitor the performance or condition of structures, systems, and components against licensee established goals in a manner sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the SSCs are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. • In some instances requirements for the inspection and monitoring of water control structures may be contained in the facility’s technical specification as required by 10 CFR 50.36, “Technical Specifications.” Related Guidance • Regulatory guide 3.11, “Design, Construction, and Inspection of Embankment Retention Systems at Uranium Recovery Facilities,” (Ref. 3) contains guidance for the design and construction of water control structures that may be useful in the development of design and inspection criteria for water-control structures at nuclear power plants. • NUREG-0800, “Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,” Section 2.5.4, “Stability of Subsurface Materials and Foundations,” provides general information concerning the stability of the subsurface of materials and foundations. Section 2.5.5, “Stability of Slopes,” of NUREG-0800 discusses the analysis procedures to evaluate the stability of slopes (Ref. 4). • An ad hoc Interagency Committee on Dam Safety (ICODS) issued a report in 1979 titled “Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety,” (FGDS) containing recommended safety guidelines for dam owners (Ref. 5).
