art 100.23 provide assurance that the most severe geologic and seismic conditions at the chosen plant site have been identified, and that geologic and seismic elements of the site have been adequately investigated and characterized. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. The procedures outlined below are used to review CP applications, ESP applications, and COL applications that do not reference an ESP to determine whether data and analyses for the proposed site meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II of this SRP section. For reviews of OL applications, these procedures are used to verify that the data and analyses remain valid and that the facility’s design specifications are consistent with these data. As applicable, reviews of OLs and COLs include a determination on whether the content of 2.5.2-11 Revision 4 - March 2007 technical specifications related to vibratory ground motion is acceptable and whether the technical specifications reflect consideration of any identified unique conditions. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant's evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. General Review Procedures Upon receiving the applicant's SAR or ESR, an acceptance review is conducted to determine compliance with the investigative requirements of 10 CFR 100.23. The reviewer also identifies any site-specific problems, the resolution of which could result in extended delays in completing the review. After SAR or ESR acceptance and docketing, the reviewer identifies areas that need additional information to support the review of the applicant's seismic design. These are transmitted to the applicant as requests for additional information.
