Content:
s review of low water events resulting from dam failures or failures of other water control structures is described in SRP Section 2.4.4, of those resulting from surges and seiches is described in SRP Section 2.4.5, of those resulting from tsunami is described in SRP Section 2.4.6, and of those resulting from ice effects is described in SRP Section 2.4.7. 3. The staff is responsible for providing site characteristics and other hydrometeorologic parameters related to low water considerations at or near the site to the organization responsible for review of the SSC potentially affected by the low water to ascertain whether these effects are properly considered in the mechanical or structural design basis for the plant. 1 Additional supporting information of prior DC rules may be found in DCD Tier 2 Section 14.3. 2.4.11-3 Revision 3 - March 2007 4. 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 44, for CP and OL applications, as it relates to providing an ultimate heat sink for normal operating and accident conditions. 5. For DC applications and COL applications referencing a DC rule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” Review of site characteristics and site- related design parameters in ESP applications or in COL applications referencing an ESP is also performed under Section 2.0. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR Part 100, as it relates to identifying and evaluating hydrological features of the site. The requirements to consider physical site characteristics in site evaluations are specified in 10 CFR 100.10(c) for applications before January
