potential for surface tectonic and nontectonic deformations, the design bases for seismically induced floods and water waves, and other design conditions. 3. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 2 for CP and OL applications, as it relates to consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena 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 the historical data have been accumulated. 4. For ESP applications, GDC are not applicable. However, the GDC 2 requirement to identify site characteristics that consider the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area and with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated is specifically identified in 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi). 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 2.5.2-4 Revision 4 - March 2007 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 1.132, "Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants," describes programs of site investigations related to geotechnical aspects that would normally meet the needs for evaluating the safety of the site from the standpoint of the
