uakes, tsunami, and seiche without loss of capability to perform their safety functions (Ref. 1). 2. Section 100.23. "Geologic and Seismic Siting Factors." of 10 CFR Part 100. This section of Part 100 requires the applicant to determine the SSE and its uncertainty, the potential for surface tectonic and nontectonic deformations, the design bases for seismically induced floods and water waves, and other design conditions (Ref. 2). 3. Regulatory Guide 1.165. "Identification and Characterization of Seismic Sources and Determination of Safe Shutdown EarthQuake Ground Motionslr (Ref. 3). This guide describes acceptable methods to: (1) conduct geological, seismological, and geophysical investigations of the site and region around the site, (2) identify and characterize seismic sources, (3) perform PSHA, and (4) determine the SSE for the site (see SRP Section 2.5.2.6 and Ref. 14). 4. Regulatorv Guide 1.132. "Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants." This guide describes programs of site investigations related to geotechnical aspects that would normally meet the needs for evaluating the safety of the site from the standpoint of the performance of foundations and earthworks under anticipated loading conditions, including earthquakes. It provides general guidance and recommendations for developing site-specific investigation programs as well as specific guidance for conducting subsurface investigations, such as borings and sampling (Ref. 4). 5. Regulatorv Guide 4.7. "General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Stations." This guide discusses the major site characteristics 2.5.1-4 Rev. 3 - March 1997 related to public health and safety that the NRC staff considers in determining the suitability of sites for nuclear power stations (Ref. 5). The information in the SAR or ESR must be complete and thoroughly documented, and it must be consistent with the requirements of Reference 2 and should conform to the format suggested in Reference 6.
