ptable for use in establishing the design bases for SSCs important to safety, as may be proposed in a COL or CP application. Therefore, the staff concludes that the identification and consideration of the climatic site characteristics set forth above are acceptable and meet the requirements of 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi), 10 CFR 100.20(c), and 10 CFR 100.21(d). In view of the above, the staff finds the applicant’s proposed site characteristics related to hydrology for inclusion in an ESP for the applicant’s site, should one be issued, acceptable. 2.4.11-15 Revision 3 - March 2007 3. Design Certification Reviews The following statement should be preceded by a list of the applicable site parameters used for the plant: The NRC staff acknowledges that the applicant has selected the site parameters referenced above for plant design inputs (a subset of which is included as Tier 1 information) and agrees that they are representative of a reasonable number of sites that have been or may be considered for a COL application. Low water effects are site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. This should include the provision of information sufficient to demonstrate that the design of the plant falls within the site parameters specified by the siting review. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. VI.
