INTRODUCTION The objecttve of this report is to assess tornado and straight wind probability hazards at tha Dresden nuclear_ power reactor s~te (See Figure 1). The hatard probability an~lyses are developed using
- .storm records fro111 the geographical.region surrounding the site. Ninety-fiVe percent confidence 1 imits on the probabilities are presented to give an ind.ication of the accuracy-of t'he expected hazard probabilities.
The final hazard probability model is :presented graphically in Figure 6.
Windspeeds correspo~ding to-selected probability values are summarized i~ Table -a.
The basic data Dsed in the calculations are presented in this report.
Derivationof.the tornado hazard assessment.
_methodology, the rationale and assumptions ~re given in McDonald (1980).
Use of the Type I. extreme value distribution function for straight wind
.hazardasses.smeht is wel.l doc_umented,in.:Simiu and Scanlan(l978).

See Figure* 1 for definition of the global *region *. The region is selected to be as large as possible and still give reasonably hom0ge-nous conditions for tornado formation.
The relatively short period of record is used bec~use the data are more comolete and accurate than th~t colle~ted prior to 1971, especially w~tW regard* to tornada damage path characteristics.
The area-intensity matrix is shown in Table 1.

The records used do. not necessarily include every tornado that has occurred in th~ local region.
For one rea~on"or another, some
. *tor.nadoes go unreported.
Because the. population density of the
- ]~cal region is high (greater than 800 persons per Square mile) and because the terrain is such that identifiable paths can be seen should a. tornado touch.down (damage to structures, trees, fences, or power lines), the.number of unreported tornadoes in the: region is likely to: be less than five percent.
The number 6f reported tornadoes i.n the local region is shown: in Table 3.

Upper and lower

IV *. WINDSPEED HAZARD PROBABILITY MODEL Winds peed. hazard probability, which includes. both tornadoes and straight wirids,. is the probability of ~ point within some defined* geog~aphical region experiencing windspeeds.greater<than or equal to some threshold value in o_ne year~ Tornado hazard probabi li ti es are the same_ at any point within the. defined local region; The Type I extreme. value distribution function
. obtained from data. colle,cted. at Peoria, Illinois. is used* for the straight w.ind probability hazard. _assessment at the Dresden reactor site.
- Thus, in effect, Peoria and the reactor site are contained in a common local
- region.
Tornado wi ndspeeds are referenced to 30 ft above ground 1 eve l (approx- -
~
- . imately 10* m). and are the maximum horizontal windspeeds~ *.According to Fuji ta ( 1971), F-sca 1 e* wind speeds are fastest-one-quarter. mile winds.
However, because *of the. t~anslational speed of a:tornado, winds acting on
- a-s~ruciure ~ay be*oi considerably shor~er d~ration.'.
Beca~se to~nado *
- **. _windspeeds are based onappearance of damage, they are considered to be effe~t~~e velocities; which include effects a~ g~st, stru~ture size and
- structure frequency.* -* For -~esi gn purposes, the gust respo~se factor for tornado 11Jinds may be-taken as* unity.
- .*The straight winds are fastest-mile windspeeds which have a variable tirne dur-ati an, dependfog on. the magnitude of the_ wind~peeds; Val u~s 'are
~
normalized to a* ro m ane1T1omete'rheight. **For design purposes, gust response factors greater than unity are _appropriate (See: ANSI A58.1., 1972).
The tornado ~nd *straight_ wind mode.ls are combin~d in Figure 6 to obtain the final **.vindspeed model.
For *design or evaluation purposes, one needs to know the type ~f. storm that contr~ 1 s the criteria.

102 mph, the tornado model governs.. In the case of* a tornado, the atmospheric pressure change and missiles must be taken into account in addition to the wi_nd effects. - Because of this, the union of the two
_events (tornado and straight winds) is not of particular interest. Table
- 8 summarizes the final windspeed hazard.probabilities._
