loyed in the analysis of free field soil media and the soil properties are reviewed under SRP section 2.5.4. 3. The seismic system analysis which utilizes the design earthquake ground motion developed in this SRP section are reviewed under SRP Section 3.7.2. 4. The seismic subsystem analysis for some components (e.g., buried piping, tunnels, and atmospheric tanks), which utilize the design earthquake ground motion developed in this SRP section, are reviewed under SRP Section 3.7.3. 5. For DC applications and COL applications referencing a DC rule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics/Site Parameters.” The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. The results of the reviews for the OBE and the SSE site-specific free-field ground motion, soil properties, etc., are used as an integral part of the seismic analysis review of Category I SSCs. 3.7.1-6 Revision 3 - March 2007 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 2 - The design basis shall reflect appropriate consideration of the most severe earthquakes that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which historical data have been accumulated. 2. 10 CFR Part 100, Subpart A which is applicable to power reactor site applications before January 10, 1997, refers to Appendix A of this part for seismic criteria. 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A indicates that the SSE and the OBE shall be considered in the design of safety-related SSCs. 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A further states that the design used to ensure that the required safety
