NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[DC/COL-ISG-017; NRC-2009-0380]
Office of New Reactors; Interim Staff Guidance on Ensuring
Hazard-Consistent Seismic Input for Site Response and Soil Structure
Interaction Analyses
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC staff is issuing its Final Interim Staff Guidance
(ISG) DC/COL-ISG-017 titled ``Ensuring Hazard-Consistent Seismic Input
for Site Response and Soil Structure Interaction Analyses,''
(Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession
No. ML100570203). This ISG supplements the guidance provided to the NRC
staff in Sections 2.5 and 3.7 of NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan
(SRP) for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power
Plants,'' March 2007, and DC/COL-ISG-01, ``Interim Staff Guidance on
Seismic Issues Associated with High Frequency Ground Motion in Design
Certification and Combined License Applications,'' issued May 19, 2008
(ADAMS Accession No. ML081400293). The NRC staff issues DC/COL-ISGs to
facilitate timely implementation of current staff guidance and to
facilitate activities associated with review of applications for design
certifications and combined licenses by the Office of New Reactors. The
NRC staff intends to incorporate the final approved DC/COL-ISG-017 into
the next revision of SRP Sections 2.5 and 3.7 and Regulatory Guide
1.206, ``Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR
Edition),'' June 2007.
Disposition: On August 31, 2009, the NRC staff issued the proposed
ISG, DC/COL-ISG-017, ``Ensuring Hazard-Consistent Seismic Input for
Site Response and Soil Structure Interaction Analyses,'' (ADAMS
Accession No. ML092230455) to solicit public and industry comment. The
NRC staff received comments on the proposed guidance. This final
issuance incorporates changes from the comments. The NRC staff
responses to these comments can be found in ADAMS Accession No.
ML100570289.
