Content:
ows: 1. The reviewer of this SRP section provides findings on the results of the stability evaluations of earth and rock slopes to the reviewers of the appropriate subsections within SRP Chapter 3, as necessary, to ensure that displacements or failure of site slopes as indicated in the SAR do not have an adverse impact on structural and transfer piping components. 2. The reviewers of Chapter 17.1 will coordinate the review of the geotechnical engineering aspects of the quality assurance program pertaining to safety-related structures, systems, and components with the reviewers of this SRP section. 3. 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 50.55a, "Codes and Standards." This rule requires that structures, systems, and components shall be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected in accordance with the requirement of applicable codes and standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. 2. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A: (a) General Design Criterion 1 (GDC 1), "Quality Standards and Records," requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. It also requires that 2.5.5-3 Revision 3 - March
