Content:
Revision 6 – October 2019 seismic and tectonic information (e.g., a seismic source or new tectonic model that was not included in the site PSHA) and coordinate closely with the PSHA reviewer of Section 2.5.2 to ensure consistency with information used in the hazard analyses. (1) Geologic, Seismic, and Geophysical Investigations. The reviewer evaluates the results of the applicant’s geologic, seismic, and geophysical investigations by conducting a literature review on topics that affect staff’s understanding of the applicant’s safety analysis. The review should allow staff to determine that conclusions presented by the applicant are based on appropriate data for this review area and are consistent with both reports published by area experts and conclusions of staff. If conclusions and interpretations presented by the applicant conflict with the available literature or staff disagree with the applicant's analysis and assumptions, the reviewer will require the applicant to submit additional information to further support the conclusions in question. For coastal and inland sites near large bodies of water, similar detailed investigations should include information regarding onshore and offshore deformation features. In some cases, it might be possible to identify onshore expression of an offshore tectonic structure (i.e., a fault or fold) of potential concern. As outlined in RG 1.208, Appendix C, under this condition staff will find it acceptable if the applicant investigates expression of the offshore feature in the onshore environment, along with other investigations of the offshore feature when possible, to better evaluate characteristics of the deformation feature in the site vicinity, area and location. (2) Geologic Evidence for Surface Deformation. The reviewer evaluates that the applicant provides sufficient surface and subsurface information for the site vicinity, area, and location to confirm presence or absence of surface deformation features.
