Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 along with a discussion of how the alternative does provide an acceptable method to comply with the regulations. Appropriate sections of the following Regulatory Guides (RG) are used by the staff for the identified acceptance criteria: RG 1.208, “A Performance-Based Approach to Define Site-specific Earthquake Ground Motion,” describes methods acceptable for conducting geologic, geophysical, seismologic, and geotechnical investigations; and guidance on assessing surface-fault rupture and associated deformation at the site (Appendix C.2.4). RG 4.7, "General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Stations," discusses the major site characteristics related to public health and safety that the reviewer considers in determining the suitability of sites for nuclear power stations. RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition,” discusses guidance for combined license applications for nuclear power plants (LWRs). The reviewer should confirm that information provided in the application is complete, properly documented and consistent with applicable requirements of 10 CFR 100.23. The reviewer confirms that methods described in RG 1.208, or comparable methods, are employed for identifying and characterizing surface deformation features; and that the material conforms to format suggested in RG 1.206. For evaluating completeness and acceptability of the application, the reviewer should use published and unpublished scientific information derived from various sources that present geologic, geotechnical, seismic, geophysical, and related pertinent data for the site vicinity and site area in which the site is located. These sources include the United States Geological Survey (USGS); other Federal and State agencies; and academia, industry, and non-governmental and professional organizations. The reviewer shall ensure that investigations described in RG 1.208, and 4.7 are conducted with an appropriate
