Content:
ctors must include the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) for the site; and the potential for surface tectonic and non-tectonic deformation. The site- specific GMRS satisfies requirements of 10 CFR 100.23 with respect to the development of the SSE. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Appropriate sections of the following Regulatory Guides are used by the staff for the identified acceptance criteria: Regulatory Guide 1.165, "Identification and Characterization of Seismic Sources and Determination of Safe Shutdown Earthquake Ground Motion” (Reference 11), describes acceptable methods for (1) conducting geologic, seismic, and geophysical investigations of the site and site region; (2) identifying and characterizing seismic sources; (3) performing PSHA; and (4) determining the GMRS for the site (see SRP Section
