UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 20, 2018 MEMORANDUM TO: Margie Kotzalas, Chief Licensing and Oversight Branch Division of Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards and Environmental Review Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM: Patrick Koch, Structural Engineer /RA/

SUBJECT:
REPORT ON THE TECHNICAL BASIS FOR UPDATING SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS GUIDANCE FOR THE DIVISION OF FUEL CYCLE SAFETY, SAFEGUARDS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (FCSE)
On September 28, 2018, the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA) submitted a report entitled, Technical Basis for Updating FCSE Seismic Hazard Analysis Guidance, prepared for FCSE. The report is a product of FCSE tasking CNWRA with reviewing the seismic hazard guidance in NUREG-1520, Standard Review Plan for the Review of a License Application for a Fuel Cycle Facility, as well as the current state of practice for seismic hazard determination. The report compares site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analysis methods to the methods currently referenced in NUREG-1520. The report also encapsulates a study performed by CNWRA that compares these methods using quantitative examples. The NRC staff will consider the findings and recommendations of the report in future updates to guidance in the area of natural phenomena hazards. This work was completed under contract number NRC-HQ-50-14-E-0001, task order NRC-HQ-50-15-T-0003 and is an independent product of the contractor. The report concludes activities under this task order.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Patrick Koch from the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, Licensing and Oversight Branch staff at: (301) 415-6520 or via e-mail at: Patrick.Koch@nrc.gov.
