Scope

This standard provides criteria and guidelines for conducting geological, seismological, and geotechnical investigations needed to provide information to support seismic source characterization input to a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA); evaluation of surface fault rupture hazard; site response analysis; and seismically-induced ground failure hazard. These criteria are applicable for SDC-3, SDC-4, and SDC-5 SSCs.
