DEFORMATION REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary- Organization responsible for the review of basic geologic and seismic information Secondary- None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Chapter 2 of the Standard Review Plan (SRP) addresses the review of site characteristics that could affect the siting and safe design of the plant. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviews information presented by the applicant for an early site permit (ESP), a combined license (COL), an operating license (OL) or construction permit (CP) concerning the potential for tectonic and non-tectonic surface deformation. SRP Section 2.5.3 applies to the reviews performed for each of these types of applications. Requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations and guidance in US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Guides (RGs) specify the importance of geologic data in siting nuclear power facilities. During site characterization investigations for this section of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) or Site Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) respectively, the applicant collects information related to surface deformation or subsidence due to faulting,
