Ladies and Gentlemen:

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Request for Information per 10 CFR 50.54(f) (Reference 1) to all power reactor licensees. The required response section of Enclosure 1 indicated that licensees should provide a Seismic Hazard Evaluation and Screening Report within 1.5 years from the date of the letter for Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) nuclear power plants. By NRC letter dated May 7, 2013 (Reference 2), the date to submit the report was extended to March 31, 2014.

By letter dated May 9, 2014 (Reference 6), the NRC transmitted the results of the screening and prioritization review of the seismic hazards reevaluation submittal for Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 (HNP). In accordance with the screening, prioritization, and implementation details report (SPID) and Augmented Approach guidance (References 2, 3 and 4), the reevaluated seismic hazard is used to determine if additional seismic risk evaluations are warranted for a plant. Specifically, the reevaluated horizontal ground motion response spectrum (GMRS) at the control point elevation is compared to the existing safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) or Individual Plant Examination for External Events (IPEEE) High Capacity Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF) Spectrum (IHS) to determine if a plant is required to perform a high frequency confirmation. As noted in the May 9, 2014 letter, HNP is to conduct a limited scope High Frequency Confirmation.

Within the May 9, 2014 letter (Reference 6), NRC acknowledged that these limited scope evaluations will require additional development of the assessment process. By Reference 7, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) submitted an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report entitled, High Frequency Program: Application Guidance for Functional Confirmation and Fragility Evaluation (EPRI 3002004396) for NRC review and endorsement. NRC endorsement was provided by Reference 9.

The High Frequency Confirmation for HNP shows that the GMRS exceedance area between the control point GMRS and SSE is on the order of 10% or less of the area under the SSE over the frequency range of exceedance. As such, the GMRS exceedances are consistent with the criteria identified in Section 3.1.2 of Reference 8, and no additional evaluation is necessary. The attachment to this letter provides the SSE and GMRS information from Reference 5.
