These documents are made available to the public as partof the Commission's policy to Inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commissions regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Anaysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodicafly. as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement wil be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

The geotechnical engineering aspects of the site and the models and methods employed in the analysis of soil and foundation response to the ground motion environment are reviewed under SRP Section 2.5.4. The results of the geo- sciences review are used in SRP Sections 3.7.1 and 3.7.2. II.
