CFR Title: 

Content:
graphy, geological history, structural geology, and characteristics of the subsurface soils and rocks have been properly characterized. (4) There is no potential for the occurrence of other geological events (such as landsliding, collapse or subsidence caused by carbonate solutioning, differential settlement) that could compromise the safety of the site; or the applicant has mitigated such occurrences and has adequately supported the engineering solutions in the SAR. (5) There -is no potential for the effects of human activity, such as subsidence caused by withdrawal or injection of fluids or collapse due to mineral extraction, that compromises the safety of the site; or the applicant has taken steps to prevent such occurrences and has adequately supported these actions in the SAR. (6) If this is a combined license review, the staff states that the conclusions stated under (1) above will be confirmed based on a detailed examination of the walls and floors of the excavations for the Seismic Category I facilities, the applicant's geological map of these exposures, and an examination by the staff of the applicant's engineering solutions to mitigate any nontectonic geological hazard. The staff's evaluation of the geological and seismological information pertaining to this site, which is presented by the applicant in the SAR or ESR, is discussed in SER sections 2.5.1, 2.5.2, and 2.5.3. The staff concluded that the site is acceptable from a geological and seismological standpoint and meets the requirements of (1) Appendix A (General Design Criterion 2) to 10 CFR Part 50 and (2) 10 CFR 100.23. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of: a. ADDendix A (General Design Criterion 2) to 10 CFR Part 50 with respect to protection against natural phenomena such as earthquakes, faulting, and collapse. b. 10 CFR 100.23, "Geologic and Seismic Siting Factors." with respect to obtaining the geologic and seismic information necessary to
