" Members of the media Current Plant Performance:
" Diablo Canyon is in the Licensee Response column of the NRC Action Matrix, with all Green findings and performance indicators.
" Diablo Canyon has no substantive crosscutting issues. A theme in the human performance decision making component was identified during the Mid-cycle Performance Assessment, with four findings in this cross-cutting area. The licensee has completed a common cause assessment and is in the process of completing corrective actions for this trend.
Activities On Site:
- Meet and discuss seismic hazard reanalysis, post-Fukishima actions, 3D seismic mapping and license renewal.
" Tour facility with licensee and resident inspectors.
Messages to Communicate to Pacific Gas & Electric (Licensee)
- Emphasize that the Licensing Basis Verification Project is a significant initiative to identify and resolve numerous historical conflicts in the licensing basis documentation.
These issues have consumed a significant amount of inspection resources and most of the station's license amendment requests in the last several years. The NRC has an important interest in this project being completed in a timely manner and effectively resolving the issues. We are expecting the licensee to rigorously identify and correct these latent issues.
- PG&E has work to revise the seismic current licensing basis documentation and complete the seismic hazards reanalysis requested by the March 12, 2012, 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter. The seismic hazard reanalysis must meet the stated deadlines, regardless of delays in conducting 3D seismic mapping.
- It is important that PG&E submit their planned license amendment request to adopt a risk-informed fire protection program (National Fire Protection Association 805 Standard) on June 28, 2013, on schedule and with a high quality submittal.
- Public outreach is very important in California. PG&E should continue to seek public outreach opportunities.

OFFICIAL USE ONLY -SENSITIVE INTERNAL IN'1 ""FORMATION TAB la Messages to Communicate to Interested Stakeholders
" The staff completed its assessment of the recently discovered Shoreline Fault in Research Information Letter 12-01 (see Tab 6a for discussion). The staff also discussed its assessment of the Shoreline Fault at a November 28, 2012, public meeting at San Luis Obispo. The overall conclusion is that the plant continues to be safe.
" Public stakeholders have noted that participants in the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee process have expressed opinions that differed with the NRC's conclusions in Research Information Letter 12-01. The expression of different expert opinions is an intentional part of that process to allow those opinions to be considered in the final outcome. The outcome from the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee process is a revised overall seismic hazard statement considering the probability and peak ground acceleration from all sources. This is very different than the NRC's deterministic assessment of the potential impact of a single fault on plant safety.
- The staff has conducted multiple public meetings and a seismic workshop to help the public understand the existing seismic hazards and how they are used to assess plant safety, with a focus on the Shoreline Fault. The feedback that the staff received from the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility on the November 28, 2012, meeting conflicts with the feedback that the staff received from other interested stakeholders. Specifically, members of the public, including representatives from the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, expressed appreciation during the meeting for the staff's efforts to inform the public about the Shoreline Fault. The staff strives to improve its efforts in public outreach, and stakeholder comments are important to that improvement process.
" The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility sent a letter to the Chairman dated November 13, 2012, (see Tab 1Oa), discussing three deficiencies the Alliance sees with the NRC's treatment of issues related to the Shoreline Fault. It was determined that a response to this letter from the NRC was not appropriate. This issue is expected to be raised during the planned discussion with Alliance. These are complex issues that the staff has discussed in detail and is confident in those actions and conclusions. It is suggested that the Chairman listen to those concerns, possibly offer to respond to the letter in writing, but not attempt to address them during this meeting.
" Local public officials recommended that the California Coastal Commission disapprove the permit request for high-energy 3D offshore seismic mapping due to the potential environmental impact and a perceived lack of rigor in PG&E's proposed mitigating actions. The permit was denied. The NRC is not requiring the high-energy 3D seismic mapping, and it is up to PG&E to decide whether to reapply for the permit.
- The San Luis Obispo Mothers For Peace have stated their intent to try to get Diablo Canyon Power Plant shut down, which included fighting against licensing the independent spent storage installation in court and requesting a hearing on the license renewal application. The Chairman may not discuss the hearing contentions, license renewal, or waste confidence with the licensee or stakeholders.

OFrICHL USE. ONLY I- SENSITIVE 11; INTR iii11,ilsV INFOR iT-10ii11 TAB 4a Diablo Canyon Unique Features Licensee: Pacific Gas & Electric is a member of an industry consortium known as Strategic Teaming and Resource Sharing (STARS) that was formed to share resources and reduce costs for interacting with the NRC staff on common regulatory issues. The Strategic Teaming and Resource Sharing group consists of the licensees for six plants: Callaway, Diablo Canyon, Palo Verde, South Texas Project, Comanche Peak, and Wolf Creek.
Diablo Canyon has the following unique design features:
" The ultimate heat sink supply, auxiliary service water, has a cross-connect at the intake structure that allows the auxiliary service water system for either unit to supply both units.
, The units have two safety-related trains; however, the two electrical trains are divided between three diesel generators. The train loads are not symmetrical which results in different risk importance for each emergency diesel generator.
(b)(7)(F)
The containment sump screens were redesigned to significantly increase the surface area and provide for change in direction of flow through the screens to facilitate removal of debris.
On a trip of the main generator, the electrical supply for the units will fast transfer to the startup transfor/ners; however, if that fails, the diesel gqenerators will supply the safetY-related buses./
~(b)(7)(F)
The facility has three distinct probabilistic risk assessments (PRA): a site-specific PRA, a fire protection PRA, and a seismic PRA. Coincidently, the nominal core damage frequency value for each PRA is the same value, 3E-5.
During November and December, the units are sometimes challenged by heavy kelp growth which breaks free during Pacific storms and is pushed onto the circulating water screens. The licensee is adept at monitoring and predicting conditions that cause this to challenge the plant, and have developed appropriate actions to respond.
The coastal area is subject to little rainfall during the April through October time frame, which leads to a high fire hazard during the months of July through October. Rains tend to increase in late November and December.
Diablo Canyon Power Plant is located in a seismically active area along the interface of the Pacific and North American Plates. Multiple faults are located within 50 miles of the plant. PG&E maintains a Long-Term Seismic Program to reevaluate the seismic design OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SENSITIVE INTERNAL INFORMATION

- - SENSITIVE INTERNAL INFORMATION TAB 4a bases against insights and knowledge gained with each seismic event. The plant was designed for ground motion from a Design Earthquake, equivalent to an "Operating Basis Earthquake," in which the plant can be expected to continue to operate. This value is ground motion acceleration at the containment base of 0.2g. The Double Design Earthquake, equivalent to a "Safe Shutdown Earthquake," is the design basis for most safety-related structures, and has ground motion acceleration of 0.4g. The plant is also evaluated for the maximum ground acceleration which can result from an earthquake originating in the Hosgri fault (0.75g). This evaluation ensures the plant can be safely shut down if the expected maximum ground motion were to occur. An automatic reactor trip is initiated for a nominal ground acceleration of 0.35 g. An earthquake force monitor provides an alarm in the control room at a minimum of 0.01g of ground acceleration.
-OFFICIAL USE NLY - SENSITIVE INTERNAL INFORMATION
TAB 5a Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Information On September 4, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued the Mid-cycle Assessment Letter for Diablo Canyon Power Plant. Plant performance is within the Licensee Response column (Column 1) of the NRC's Action Matrix, because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., Green) safety significance and all performance indicators indicated that performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., Green).
The NRC identified a new cross-cutting theme in the human performance decision making component. Specifically, four findings were identified that had primary causal factors involving the failure to use conservative assumptions in decision-making such that licensee decisions demonstrate that nuclear safety is an overriding priority [H. 1(b)]. The NRC has determined that a substantive cross-cutting issue associated with H.1(b) did not exist because the NRC did not have a concern with the licensee's staff's scope of effort and progress in addressing the cross-cutting theme. The licensee placed this trend in the corrective action program and completed a common cause analysis to identify corrective action.
The colored performance indicators and inspection findings for this station can be viewed at the following URLs:

OFF'GIAL USE ONLY - SENSiTiVE iNTERNAL iNFOrMATION TAB 6a Current Issues A. Current Licensina Issues License Renewal PG&E submitted an application to renew the operating licenses for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, on November 23, 2009. On April 10, 2011, PG&E submitted correspondence to the NRC requesting deferral of issuance of its renewed operating license pending completion of 3D seismic studies. Therefore, the staff has minimized work and will wait for a request from PG&E to perform further review. The staff issued the Safety Evaluation Report in June 2011 and will supplement, as necessary, at a time closer to the license renewal decision. The draft environmental impact statement has not been issued. PG&E agreed to complete the 3D seismic mapping in response to a California bill requiring Diablo Canyon Power Plant and San Onofre to study their generation reliability as it relates to seismic events.
On November 14, 2012, the California Coastal Commission rejected PG&E's permit request to perform the high-energy offshore 3D seismic mapping. PG&E is currently re-evaluating whether to reapply for the permit or to consider their commitment to the state fulfilled. If the latter is the outcome of this review, PG&E may ask the NRC to proceed with its review of their license renewal application in the near future.
Potential Ex Parte Issues
- The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel admitted a license renewal contention -
that PG&E'S Severe Accident Mitigation Alternative analysis fails to consider information regarding the Shoreline Fault that is necessary for an understanding of seismic risks to the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. As a result, PG&E's Severe Accident Mitigation Alternative analysis does not satisfy the requirements of National Environmental Policy Act for consideration of alternatives or NRC implementing regulation 10 C.F.R. 51.53(c)(3)(ii)(L). This should not be discussed between the Chairman and staff; the Chairman and PG&E; and the Chairman and Stakeholders,
" Any non-public information concerning waste confidence activities should not be discussed between the Chairman and PG&E; and the Chairman and Stakeholders.
Diablo Canyon Seismic Issues Shoreline Fault On November 14, 2008, the licensee informed the NRC of a previously unknown fault located offshore. PG&E named the hypothesized fault the "Shoreline Fault." The licensee evaluated the seismic and tsunami effects and determined the site remained safe. On April 8, 2009, the NRC issued Research Information Letter (RIL)09-001 ,'"Preliminary Deterministic Analysis of Seismic Hazard at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant from Newly Identified Shoreline Fault,"
which provided an initial independent technical evaluation supporting the licensee's initial determination that the plant remained safe. In September 2010, the NRC hosted, with independent seismic experts, workshops for the public to gain knowledge of the seismic hazards and its applications for the safety and operation of commercial nuclear plants, including specific discussions on the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The licensee issued its final analysis
TAB 6a report on the Shoreline Fault Zone on January 7, 2011.
Research Information Letter 2012-01 documented the staffs independent and confirmatory evaluation of the licensee's Shoreline Fault Report on October 12, 2012. The letter concluded that the maximum ground acceleration at the site was within the ground motion shown to be safe for the plant. The staff conducted a local public meeting to discuss the shoreline fault report on November 28, 2012. The cover letter for Research Information Letter 2012-01 placed the results into context with the actions to respond to the March 12, 2012, 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter and provided a basis to resolve the Shoreline fault in the current licensing basis. This has been a topic of high interest at the state government and local public.
Fukushima On June 7, 2012, PG&E provided its 90 day response to the seismic aspects of recommendation 2.1 of the March 12, 2012, request for information issued pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f). PG&E stated that an alternate plan may be necessary for meeting the March 12, 2015, date for completing the seismic hazard reanalysis. The reason given for the possibility of an alternate plan is the number of personnel available with the level of seismic expertise necessary to participate in the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee process for western United States plants is limited.
PG&E is coordinating with other western United States nuclear plant licensees concerning the performance of the required Senior Seismic Hazards Analysis Committee Level 3 activities, and has completed the first two workshops.
Diablo Canyon is unique in having three seismic design basis events in their licensing basis, instead of two. In the March 12, 2012, 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter, the staff directed PG&E to compare the results of the new study of seismic hazard to the Double Design Earthquake (the equivalent of the Safe Shutdown Earthquake), rather than the larger Hosgri Earthquake.
3D High-Energy Offshore Seismic Mapping A California state law required Diablo Canyon and San Onofre to study their generation reliability as it relates to seismic events. PG&E agreed to perform state-of-the-art 3D seismic mapping techniques to explore the fault zones around Diablo Canyon to identify potential seismic vulnerability not evident from previous technologies. The California Public Utility Commission approved a rate request to pay for the testing. The study included forming a State Independent Peer Review Panel to review the results of the information that will be collected.
The Independent Peer Review Panel includes earthquake scientists from the California Public Utility Commission, the California Energy Commission, the California Seismic Safety Commission, the California Coastal Commission, and the California Geologic Survey. While the low-energy 2D and 3D seismic mapping have been completed along with high-energy 3D seismic onshore mapping, PG&E must obtain 12 permits from State and Federal agencies to be able to conduct the high-energy offshore studies. There was significant public opposition to this testing, and the permitting process and the seismic studies were covered extensively in the news.
OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SENSiTiVE INTERNAL iN uIMA[IUN
TAB 6a The California Coastal Commission rejected a permit in November 2012, due to potential environmental impact and limited new information that would be made available. PG&E is now considering whether to reapply for the permit or else conclude that their obligation has been met. Because of other sources of seismic information (e.g., 2D and 3D low-energy offshore survey information, 3D high-energy onshore survey information, Bathymetric information, paleoshoreline assessments, seismic event database reevaluation, gravity survey data, magnetic survey data, and regional slip rate analyses) the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee (Technical Integration and Peer Review teams) may decide that the 3D high-energy offshore seismic information is not needed in order to respond to the NRC's March 12, 2012, request for information.
Seismic Hazard Reanalysis On March 12, 2012, the NRC Staff issued a request for information pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f) in which the Staff detailed a two-phased approach related to reevaluating seismic hazards at all power reactor licensees in response to recommendations of the Near-Term Task Force review of the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear facility. The first phase is to perform a reevaluation of the seismic hazards at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant site using updated seismic information and present-day regulatory guidance and methodologies, and then .compare the results to the current seismic design basis. For Diablo Canyon and the other western United States plants (i.e., San Onofre, Columbia, and Palo Verde), the first phase includes an assessment of new seismic information and development of a ground motion response spectrum using a Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee Level 3 process.
The second phase is based on the results of the first phase and consists of the NRC staff determining whether additional regulatory actions are necessary (e.g., update the design basis and structures, systems, and components important to safety) to provide additional protection against the updated hazards. The first phase of the process is expected to be completed by March 12, 2015, in accordance with the milestone provided in the March 12, 2012, request for information.
The Staff expects PG&E to update its seismic probabilistic risk assessment with the results of the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee Level 3 process in the 2017 time frame. The staff will monitor the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee Level 3 process at various stages to assess whether immediate actions are needed to provide reasonable assurance of safety.
It is important to note that the 3D seismic offshore study is not required by the NRC and is being performed as directed by a California State law. In conversations with various State agencies involved in the permitting process of the 3D seismic offshore study, NRC staff has stressed that it is not a specific requirement of the March 12, 2012, request for information and that the NRC staff relies on the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee process to determine the need for such studies. The NRC seismologists do not believe that the licensee should delay their response to the March 12, 2012, request for information because of delays in obtaining permits and completing the 3D high energy offshore studies.
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation and Implementation PlanslSchedule PG&E completed loading of the first eight casks during the summer of 2009. Each of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant fuel casks can accommodate 32 spent fuel assemblies, and the two spent fuel storage pads can each accommodate up to 20 casks. PG&E holds a separate OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SENSITIV." INTERNAL INFORMATION
TAB 6a license under 10 CFR Part 72 for the independent spent fuel storage installation, which authorizes storage of up to 140 spent fuel casks (enough for the original 40-year license). The environmental permit for the independent spent fuel storage installation was challenged multiple times on the basis that the NRC had not considered the environmental impact of terrorist attacks. The staff subsequently completed a revised environmental impact statement.
Digital Instrumentation and Control Upgrade On October 26, 2011, PG&E submitted a license amendment request to support a digital upgrade of the Eagle 21 system, which provides trip status and parameter inputs to the reactor trip system and engineered safety features actuation system. This Diablo Canyon Power Plant modification is only a partial actuation system upgrade and incorporates two new digital platforms. In comparison, the Oconee modification replaced all actuation functions.
Diablo Canyon is the pilot plant for use of the recently revised Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) No.
6 regarding the digital instrumentation and control (I&C) licensing process. The NRC Staff expects that this initial use of ISG-6 will provide valuable experience for the review of future digital instrumentation and control upgrades, and will assist the NRC staff in developing subsequent revisions to the ISG. Since the issuance of the license amendment request the staff has held several public meetings to discuss the review and, because of the unique nature of the review, expects a series of public meetings to be held throughout the review.
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 Transition Project PG&E intends to adopt the risk-informed, performance-based alternative described in National Fire Protection Association 805 Standard, as permitted by paragraph 50.48(c) of Title 10 of the Code of FederalRegulations. To support this transition PG&E is targeting June 28, 2013, for submitting a license amendment application.
Offsite Power Inspections have identified that both of the two offsite power systems have issues such that they may not meet General Design Criterion 17, "Electric Power Systems." The 230kV system has ahd load growth on the grid such that there may not be adequate voltage to support safety related loads during a design basis accident on days with high grid load and low voltage. Also, the 500kV system was licensed to be available within 30 seconds of a plant trip was found to take close to an hour to implement. Both of these conditions are not consistent with General Design Criterion 17. The licensee is working with their corporate level to develop modifications, but have encountered delays in getting approval. They also submitted a license amendment request in 2009 to request approval for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> delayed access for the 500kV system, but the NRC does not have clear criteria, nor are the resources to develop them currently available. A public meeting has been scheduled for January 24, 2013, for PG&E to describe modifications to the 500 kV power supply that would render the need for the license amendment request unnecessary.
Control Room Habitability The resident inspectors have identified several findings and issues that show that the control room habitability system has design errors, flawed calculations, and incorrect testing. Testing required by Generic Letter 2003-01 showed in-leakage above allowed values, but was incorrectly reported as having no in-leakage in 2005. New testing in the fall of 2011 showed excessive in-leakage due to a design flaw that prevented proper single-train operation.
OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SENSITIVE INTERNAL INFORMATION
OFFiCIAL USE ONLY - SENSITIVE iNTERNAL INFORMATION TAB 6a Compensatory measures require running one fan from opposite train to limit in-leakage. The licensee completed initial modifications in October 2012, to reduce in-leakage, but further changes to the control circuits were made to achieve acceptable test results. Related dose calculations had to be re-performed because the licensee had used a non-NRC approved method. A recently completed Technical Interface Agreement memo documented a staff position that the licensee improperly implemented technical specification requirements by exiting a 90-day shutdown action statement when they implemented compensatory measures in December 2011 in response to the NRC findings.
Recent Plant Events
" April 25, 2012, Unit 2 was shut down because ocean debris (i.e., salp - a small jellyfish like creature) fouled the circulating water screens at the intake building.
- October 11, 2012, Unit 2 tripped when the main transformer output lines experienced an arc to ground across dirty insulators during a rain storm.
B. OTHER TOPICS OF INTEREST Organizational Issues In 2012 PG&E selected Mr. Ed Halpin as the new Chief Nuclear Officer and Mr. Barry Allen as the new Site Vice President.
Escalated Enforcement, Non-areen Findinas, and Non-Green performance Indicators There was one escalated enforcement case associated with incomplete and inaccurate reporting in response to Generic Letter 2003-01 for control room in-leakage (Severity Level Ill, no civil penalty). There have been no greater than Green findings or performance indicators within the last year. In addition, no escalated enforcement or non-Green findings are pending.
(See Control Room Habitability above.)
Open Investigations There are no open investigations at Diablo Canyon Power Plant.
Open Allegations There are three open allegations at Diablo Canyon. They include issues in the following areas:
- (b)(5)
Harassment and Intimidation Issues None.
OFFICIAL USE ONLY SENSITIVE INTERNAL INFORMATION TAB 6a Conaressional Interest There has been interest from several California congressional offices on the agency's March 12, 2012, request for information letter on seismic and flooding reevaluations, the NRC staff's Research Information Letter (RIL) on the Shoreline Fault Zone confirmatory analysis. In addition, there was elevated interest in the proposed offshore 3D high-energy seismic surveys from Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and Representative Lois Capps (D-CA).
An article on cyber security published by Bloomberg in late July prompted calls from staff to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (which is chaired by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA)) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) because itstated that hackers had broken into the computer network at Diablo Canyon. OCA responded to both the Committee and Sen.
Feinstein's office that a plant employee mistakenly opened a link on a nuclear material database (NMMSS) that launched a spear phishing attack on a company business computer, which is not connected to any safety- or security-related system. The Information Technology team found malware in the computer, but it had not spread, and there was no impact on plant operations.
The Bloomberg article served as a basis for a 2.206 petition to shutdown all nuclear power plants in the United States until they can demonstrate they are protected against cyber security threats. This petition is currently under review.
2.206 Petitions No 2.206 petitions specific to Diablo exist, however, the cyber security petition mentioned above is based on the Bloomberg article related to Diablo Canyon.
Significant Reportable Events None.
Selected News Articles Diablo Canyon receives frequent media attention. Recently, most media attention has been in two main areas: license renewal and impact of the recent waste confidence decision, and the offshore seismic surveys. Example articles are provided below.
Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch reports, "California voters would be asked to ban nuclear power plants under a ballot measure being sought by a Santa Cruz man who tried-and failed-to qualify a similar effort for the November ballot. Ben Davis Jr. on Monday gave notice of an initiative petition for what he calls the California Nuclear Waste Act-which would effectively shut down Diablo Canyon and San Onofre nuclear plants if placed on the ballot and approved by voters."
Laguna Niquel-Dana Point Patch reports, "Four Buddhist monks have set up shop on the knoll overlooking the San Clemente Pier, and Monday they were in the midst of the third day of their six-day fast to protest the restart of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant."

OFFICIAL USE ONLY SENSITIVE INTERNAL INFORMATION TAB 6a The San Luis Obispo Tribune reports, "The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Wednesday defended a recent study finding that Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant could withstand an earthquake along the newly discovered Shoreline Fault. Representatives of the agency held two open house meetings in San Luis Obispo to take public comment on the study and answer questions. Earthquake experts with the commission and PG&E were available to answer questions about the Shoreline and other faults around Diablo Canyon."
Santa Barbara Independent reports, "When $64-million questions get violently "un-asked," I don't go looking for explanations. I look for suspects. Instead, I stumbled onto a conspiracy of self-inflicted stupidity. Given that the question involves the seismic safety of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant just 85 miles up the coast in Avila Beach, the answer is of more than academic interest. Should the unthinkab~le actually occur-an earthquake-induced fire at the plant's intensely radioactive spent-fuel pool - down-winders in Santa Barbara will no longer have the luxury of worrying about climate change, ocean acidification, or intrusive panhandlers.

Dear Dr. Macfarlane:
The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility ("A4NR") wishes to alert you to three inexcusable deficiencies in the above-captioned report and to register our objection to the misleading press release
("ADDITIONAL NRC ANALYSIS CONFIRMS EARTHQUAKE SAFETY AT DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT" - No.12-112, October 12, 2012) that accompanied it. That these efforts have allowed an ongoing violation of the Diablo Canyon license to remain uncorrected--a violation first reported by NRC regional staff more than a year ago- is inexplicable.
Deficiency 1. It has now been more than 15 months since the NRC regional staff's extraordinary written rebuke to PG&E for its truncated evaluation of new seismic information concerning the 2008 discovery of the Shoreline Fault, located some 600 meters from the reactors at Diablo Canyon. The August 1, 2011 memorandum from Region IV minced no words:
- Although the LTSP margin analysis demonstrated that the new Shoreline Fault Zone information was bounded by the Hosgri Event, the licensee didn't evaluate the new seismic information against the other two design basis earthquakes, the Design Earthquake and the Double Design Earthquake.
- ... the plant safety analyses concluded that seismic qualificationfor certain structures, systems and components was more limiting for the Design Earthquake and Double Design earthquakes than for the Hosgri Event.
I
0 New seismic information developed by the licensee is required to be evaluated against all three of the seismic design basis earthquakesand the assumptions used in the supporting safety analysis ... Comparison to the LTSP by itself is not sufficient to meet this requirement.'
RIL 12-01 disingenuously attempts to focus attention on the larger vibratory ground motion assumed for the Hosgri design basis earthquake ("HE"), but ignores the significantly tougher damping assumptions required for the Design Earthquake ("DE") test and the Double Design Earthquake
("DDE") test. The magnitude of these differences is identified in the table included in Section 3.7.1.3 of Diablo Canyon's Final Safety Analysis Report Update:
Type of Structure % of Critical Damping DE DDE HE Containment structures and all internal concrete structures 2.0 5.0 7.0 Other conventionally reinforced concrete structures above ground, such as shear walls or rigid frames 5.0 5.0 7.0 Welded structural steel assemblies 1.0 1.0 4.0 Bolted or riveted steel assemblies 2.0 2.0 7.0 Mechanical components (PG&E purchased) 2.0 2.0 4.0 Vital piping systems (except reactor coolant loop) 0.5 0.5 3.0 Reactor coolant loop 1.0 1.0 4.0 Replacement Steam Generators 2.0 4.0 4.0 Integrated Head Assembly 4.0 6.85 6.85 CRDMs (Unit 2) 3.0 4.0 4.0 Foundation rocking (containment structure only) 5.0 5.0 NA Omission of any discussion in RIL 12-01 of the tri-partite test requirements of the Diablo Canyon license arouses considerable suspicion. In light of the earlier staff criticism of PG&E's Shoreline Fault Zone assessment, this editorial sleight-of-hand verges on regulatory misconduct. What cannot be concealed is that PG&E has yet to produce the analysis of the Shoreline Fault required by the Diablo Canyon license.
Deficiency 2. Apparently convinced that indications on the surface of the sea floor are determinative of what occurs at seismogenic depth, RIL 12-01 buries its most significant analytic shortcut on page 35:
The NRC did not consider a scenario in which an earthquake on the Shorelinefault continues to rupture onto the Hosgri fault. Large earthquakesfrom simultaneous rupture on the two faults (i.e., those greater than M7) would produce large surface displacement, which are not evident in the geologic record. The NRC concludes that the lack of significant horizontal displacement across the Shorelinefault rules out the possibility of joint rupture.
Kriss M. Kennedy, NRC Director IRA/, Division of Reactor Projects, Region IV, "Task Interface Agreement (TIA) - Concurrence on Diablo Canyon Seismic Qualification Current Licensing and Design Basis (TIA 2011-010), August 1,2011, accessible at http://ipbadupws.nl'c.g(ov/docs/Mi-il' I /MLI 121 30655.pdf 9.
Rather than patronize you, a professional geologist, with A4NR's lay opinions about the current significance multi-fault rupture plays in understanding large earthquakes, let me simply reference Slide 22from the presentation made at PG&E's SSHAC workshop last week by Dr. Jeanne Hardebeck2 ,
widely credited with having discovered the Shoreline Fault and repeatedly cited in RIL 12-01:
"Doesn't seem prudent to rule out a Shoreline-Hosgri joint rupture; Mmax=7.2."
Deficiency 3. RIL 12-01 goes to some length in describing how the NRC staff assembled five scenarios for its deterministic seismic hazard assessment. The three middle scenarios were characterized as "found within the PG&E logic tree." Another (Scenario 1) established a lower, "aseismic" bound with a magnitude of M5.9. A fifth (Scenario 5) extended the Shoreline Fault southeast along a magnetic lineament "hypothesized as ... representing the maximum permissible length" and established an upper bound with a magnitude of M6.9. Declaring simply that Scenario 5 "is not supported as well as other scenarios by the data", RIL 12-01 abruptly dismisses Scenario 5 as "speculative" and opts instead for a "a more realistic, though still conservative" M6.7 derived from Scenarios 3 and 4. A4NR finds this discussion highly conclusory and considers it peculiar that a range of M values was not fully analyzed. Given the larger concerns identified in Deficiency 1 and Deficiency 2 above, the aroma of reverse engineering is impossible to dispel.
A4NR has other concerns with RIL 12-01, particularly the degree to which the ground motion analysis is largely untethered from site-related data, but we are more troubled by the implied purpose of the report itself. What started with detection by regional NRC staff of PG&E's significant failure to analyze new seismic information (i.e., discovery of the Shoreline Fault Zone) in the manner required by the Diablo Canyon license, somehow transformed into a corner-cutting, eyes-averting minimization of risk - coronated with a celebratory press release. What message must this send to enforcement staff?.
This unseemly cheerleading is unworthy of a regulatory agency aspiring to the confidence of Californians who depend upon the NRC for objective, thorough analysis. You may not have been in your position long enough to bear any direct responsibility for this disgrace, but surely you have some duty to correct it.
Sincerely,
/s/

Earthquake Research Continues at Diablo Canyon WU.S. ANC 13'l3g- ' .. t " age I of 3
- U.S.NRC United $~towNuclear Regulatory Comm Issiorn Earthquake Research Continues at Diablo Canyon When you're dealing with a topic as complex as California earthquakes (such as Sunday's 5.3 quake near King City), it seerr as if every answer only generates more questions. That's the case with a recent NRC analysis of the area near the Diablo Canyon nuclear Dower olant on the Pacific coast near San Luis Obispo.
Diablo Canyon's owner, Pacific Gas & Electric, was working with the U.S. Geolooical Survey in 2008 when they discovered t" "Shoreline Fault," located just a few hundred yards offshore from the plant. This work stemmed from PG&E's Long-Term Seismic Program; the company committed to the NRC in 1991 that it would continue the program to study seismic issues ar perform periodic seismic reviews of the plant.
In 2011, PG&E submitted a detailed analysis of the Shoreline Fault to the NRC. Both PG&E's analysis and the NRCs just-published indenendant review reached the same conclusion - Shoreline's shaking potential falls within what the Diablo Canyon reactors are already designed to withstand.
Even with that answer, both the state of California and the NRC have asked PG&E to do more work, although for different reasons.
California Assembly Bill1632 in 2006 directed the California Energy Commission to assess the vulnerability of the state's nuclear power plants to seismic hazards. As part of the assessment, PG&E proposed a multi-million dollar study that uses powerful air cannons for 3-D mapping of the offshore area near the plant.
Eighteen air guns would be towed behind a boat and used to emit 250-decibel blasts into the water over a 530-square nautical-mile area. The plan has drawn fire from biologis environmentalists and fishermen who fear marine life from whales to sea otters and fish will be harmed. PG&E has pointed out that similar seismic surveys have been conducte elsewhere without adversely affecting marine life. PG&E has now decided to delay its seismic testing program until mid-November so it can make some changes to its work plei Separately from the state-mandated 3-D mapping, following the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan the NRC sent a reguej for every U.S. nuclear power plant to re-analyze their earthquake hazards. So, in addition to meeting the requirements of the state, PG&E must also re-analyze the earthquake hazards for the NRC.
PG&Eis now working with a team of Independent experts to determine what should be included in its re-analysis for the NRC. The NRC doesn't yet know if that group will also recommend the high-energy offshore surveys, which cannot be done without state approval.
If the offshore surveys are done, the NRC expects PG&Ewill include that information in its earthquake re-analysis. If not, the NRC expects PG&E will nonetheless assemble enough updated information to complete its re-analysis by early 2015. The results of all this work will ensure Diablo Canyon remains ready to safely shut down after an earthquake.

7 experts convicted for not warning of quake risk http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_289563/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=EOT42yAC snip:
L'AQUILA, Italy (AP) -7In a verdict that sent shock waves through the scientific community, an Italian court convicted seven experts of manslaughter on Monday for failing to adequately warn residents of the risk before an earthquake struck central Italy in 2009, killing more than 300 people.
The defendants, all prominent scientists or geological and disaster experts, were sentenced to six years in prison.
Earthquake experts worldwide decried the tIal as ridiculous, contending there was no way of knowing that a flurry of tremors would lead to a deadly quake.

'State lawdidn't require-3-D imaging, PG&E wanted.it, and the state allowed the utility to spend $64 million, or more.to conduct tests. You may.wanna check the National Marine Fisheries to find the impact on. fish arnd marine mammal,wh ch are expected.to be intense, and probably kill. The local commercial and sport fishing will lose several seasons too.
FRel i.'at's not:exactly . PG&E doesn't want to do this (politically, it's an expensive catch 22). What 15 true is:that the California Energy Commission, California
,Coastal Commission, and the Calorfila Public Utilities Commission all REQUIRED this testing: That was before they realized that so many marine lives:would**be N6W'.

My OPINION is that if.the public demands that the high energy'3-D testing be stopped, these. folks can find a way to accept the considerable data already gathered from the studiesaleadycmpleted: land-based 2-D, lan biased3-D, and low energy oean3-D, etc .

Nov 12th appointment Hello Mary.
I find your message and your legal counsel's advice puzzling. The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility is not a party to any litigation at the NRC regarding Diablo Canyon. on seismic issues or otherwise. With this understanding, is the NRC really suggesting that the Chairman is legally prohibited from discussing anything concerning the plant's seismic setting? We seem to remember setting Lp a meeting with San Luis Obispo Supervisor Bruce Gibson last summer and we are certain the subject was seismic.
We would also like to discuss Diablo Canyon's refusal, since 2008. to follow the repeated direction of the Califomia Energy Commission to expedite the transfer of spent fuel to dry casks 'while maintaining compliance with NRC cask and pool spent fuel storage requirements." Is there a similar subject of litigation" problem with this topic?
I sincerely hope your prior message was in error, but clarification as soon as possible would be most appreciated.
