investigations related to geotechnical engineering aspects that would normally meet the needs for evaluating the safety of the site from the standpoint of the performance of foundation and earthworks under anticipated loading conditions including earthquake in complying with 10 CFR Part 100 and 10 CFR 100.23. It provides general guidance and recommendations for developing site-specific investigation programs as well as specific guidance for conducting subsurface investigations, including the spacing and depth of borings and sampling. RG 1.138, "Laboratory Investigations of Soils for Engineering Analysis and Design of Nuclear Power Plants," describes laboratory investigations and testing practices acceptable for determining soil and rock properties and characteristics, together with their uncertainties needed for engineering analysis and design for foundations and earthwork for nuclear power plants in complying with 10 CFR Part 100 and 10 CFR 100.23. RG 1.198, ”Procedures and Criteria for Assessing Seismic Soil Liquefaction at Nuclear Power Plant Sites,” describes acceptable methods for evaluating the potential for earthquake induced instability of soil resulting from liquefaction and strength degradation in complying with 10 CFR 100.23 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix S. RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),” provides guidance regarding the information to be submitted in a COL application for a nuclear power plant. RG 1.208, "A Performance-Based Approach to Define the Site-Specific Earthquake Ground Motion," describes acceptable methods to: (1) conduct geological, seismological, and geophysical, and geotechnical investigations of the site and region around the site, (2) identify and characterize seismic sources, (3) perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), (4) perform site response analysis, and (5) determine the ground motion response spectrum (GMRS) for the site. A thorough evaluation of the dynamic and
