10 CFR 100.23. Geologic and Seismic Siting Factors, with respect to obtaining the geological and seismological information necessary (1) to determine site suitability, (2) to determine the appropriate design of the plant, and (3) to ascertain that any new information derived from the site- specific investigations does not impact the SSE derived by a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. In complying with this regulation, the applicant also meets the staff's guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.165, "Identification and Characterization of Seismic Sources and Determination of Safe Shutdown Earthquake Ground Motion;" Regulatory Guide 1.132, "Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants;" and Regulatory Guide 4.7, "General Site Suitability Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants." V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. Except in those cases in which the applicant or licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specific portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced regulatory guidance (Refs. 3 - 7). The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of construction permits (CP), operating licenses (OL), early site permits, and combined license (CP/OL) applications docketed pursuant to 10 CFR 100.23.
