Revision 5 – July 2014 Review Process During the regulatory review process, the reviewer follows specific regulatory requirements promulgated in the Code of Federal Regulations, the regulatory guidelines and the acceptance criteria in this SRP. The review process, with staff’s responsibilities described within each step, is applied for CP, OL, ESP or COL applications. 1. Acceptance Review The acceptance review is a brief, high level review of the application to evaluate its completeness and identify safety issues that could cause delay in subsequent phases of the review process. Acceptance or rejection of the application for detailed review is governed by two criteria: (1) adherence to standard format for identifying and describing characteristics and features that might indicate a potential for surface deformation which might adversely affect suitability of the site; and (2) provision of adequate information and documentation as described in the requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi), 10 CFR 52.79 (a)(iii) and 10 CFR 100.23(c) and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2), RG 1.206, and 1.208 to enable an independent staff review of conclusions presented by the applicant. By acceptable, the application is deemed acceptable for docketing. 2. Detailed Review of Application After the application is docketed, staff conducts a thorough, detailed technical review of material submitted in the application and identifies all potential safety issues related to surface deformation. The reviewer confirms that all interpretations in the application are based on generally accepted geologic practice and are supported by appropriate data and models. The reviewer confirms that alternative data sets, if available, are appropriately considered in development of the applicant’s assessment and conclusions. The reviewer also considers any significant new information derived from site-specific geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations that
