DC Cook Geology DC Cook Geology DC Cook FSAR Section 2.3:
Site geology a simple sequence of deposits consisting of a surface deposit of dune sand which overlies older beach sand which in turn is underlain by glacial lake clays, glacial till and shale bedrock Regional geology bedrock consists of a mixed sequence of sedimentary strata bedrock consists of a mixed sequence of sedimentary strata including shale, limestone, sandstone, and dolomite. The strata range in age from Cambrian to Pennsylvanian. This sequence is underlain by a basement complex of Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks Bedrock formations in the vicinity of the site metamorphic rocks. Bedrock formations in the vicinity of the site include shale and sandstones of Devonian and Mississippian age.
The Precambrian basement is estimated to occur at a depth of 3,500 feet.

- NRC used EPRI soil and Pennisular Range NRC used EPRI soil and Pennisular Range G/Gmax and hysteretic damping curves for soil layers soil layers
- NRC used EPRI Rock curves and Linear with 3%

Kappa Kappa
- NRC estimated total site kappa values of 24 NRC estimated total site kappa values of 24 msec (MBC), 32 msec (LBC), and 8 msec (UBC)
- Applied Campbells eqn for 137 ft of soil: 2 5 msec
- Applied Campbell s eqn for 137 ft of soil: 2.5 msec
- Used Qs of 40 to determine kappa for sedimentary rock layers: 16 msec (MBC) and 24 sedimentary rock layers: 16 msec (MBC) and 24 msec (LBC)

DC C k FSAR S ti 2 5 2 DC Cook FSAR Section 2.5.2:
Major plant structures are supported on mat foundations installed on the overlying compact sand, recompacted sand, or stiff clay deposits.
The containment areas as well as the remainder of the plant areas were excavated to elevation 588 ft. The dewatering system which consisted of eductor wells was installed around the entire periphery of the general plant site excavation and the ground water level was lowered to the top of the clay stratum, approximately elevation 558'. The containment areas were then excavated to Elevation 583'-4. the dense sand at elevation 583'4" was 25 compacted with a vibratory compactor. The containment structures were constructed on mat foundations founded directly on the dense beach sands.

- What is basis for second sentence in Section 2.3.2.1 as soil layers total about 128 ft?
- The firm soil material over the upper 500 ft was assumed to have behavior
- Total site kappa values for P4, P5, P6 are similar to staffs values; however basis for statement in Section 2.3.2.2 is unclear 2.3.2.2 is unclear
- As documented in Reference 14 for shallow, less than about 3000 ft soil/firm rock sites, kappa may be estimated based on the small strain damping contributed by the based on the small strain damping contributed by the profile
- Does above statement refer to kappa estimate for P1 P2 &
P3 only?
