Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 A typical staff finding at the conclusion of the review can be illustrated as follows: The staff has considered information provided by the applicant in support of the license application about the determination of the potential for surface tectonic and non-tectonic deformation at the site and site suitability. The information reviewed includes data from the site vicinity, area, and location related to geoscience investigations; geologic reconnaissance for the site vicinity; the staff’s independent review of published literature; and discussions with knowledgeable geoscientists with the USGS, State Geological Surveys, local universities, consulting firms, or other non-governmental and professional organizations. As a result of this review, staff concludes that geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations and information provided by the applicant in accordance with 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi), 10 CFR 100.23(c), and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2) provide an adequate basis to establish the potential for future surface deformation to occur at the site, which could affect the design and operation of the proposed facility. 3. Combined License, Construction Permit, and Operating License Reviews If staff completes review of geologic and seismic aspects of the site related to potential for surface deformation and confirms that the applicant has met all applicable requirements (i.e., appropriate portions of GDC 2 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.79(a)(iii), 10 CFR 100.23(c), and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2)) and guidelines (i.e., RG 1.208, 4.7, and 1.206), the conclusion in the SER should state that investigations and analyses performed and information provided support the applicant's conclusions regarding suitability of the proposed nuclear power plant site in relation to potential for future surface deformation. Licensing conditions established by staff to resolve any significant deficiency identified in the application should be
