4 RA-EP-02820 Revision 03 3.0 DEFINITIONS 3.1 SAFE SHUTDOWN EARTHQUAKE (SSE) - The SSE as defined in 10 CFR 100, Appendix A, is that earthquake which is based upon an evaluation of the maximum earthquake potential considering the regional and local geology and seismology and specific characteristics of local subsurface material. It is that earthquake which produces the maximum vibratory ground motion for which certain structures, systems, and components are designed to remain functional. These structures, systems, and components are those necessary to assure:
3.1.1 The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary 3.1.2 The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in safe shutdown condition, OR 3.1.3 The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures.
3.2 OPERATING BASIS EARTHQUAKE (OBE) - The OBE as defined in 10 CFR 100, Appendix A, is that earthquake which, considering the regional and local geology and seismology and specific characteristics of local subsurface material, could reasonably be expected to affect the plant site during the operating life of the plant; it is that earthquake which produces the vibratory ground motion for which those features of the nuclear power plant necessary for continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public are designed to remain functional.
