1.3 SCOPE

A. The criteria and recommendations in this standard shall apply to site characterization for the purpose of

mitigating Natural Phenomena Hazards in all DOE facilities covered by DOE O 420.1. Criteria for site

characterization not related to NPH are generally not included in this document unless they are deemed

necessary for clarification. General and detailed site characterization requirements are provided in the

areas of meteorology, hydrology, geology, seismology and geotechnical studies.
