Docket Nos. STN 50-522 and STN 50-523 Gentlemen:
At the hearings scheduled to commence on October 25, 1979. the NRC Staff and its advisor, the U.S. Geological Survey, will present direct evidence on geologic-seismic issues by a panel of witnesses consisting of the following persons:
R. Jackson NRC Staff H. Lefevre NRC Staff S. Wastler NRC Staff J. Kelleher NRC Staff Consultant R. Regan NRC Staff Consultaat J. Devine USGS R. Morris USGS W. Hays USGS S. Brockman USGS R. Blakely USGS H. Wagner USGS All of the above witnesses have testified previously in this proceeding except.
for R. Jackson (Professional Qualification Statement attached), R. Regan (Pro-fessional Qualification Statement attached), R. Blakely (Professional Qualifi _.
cation Statement attached), and H. Wagner (Profese!.onal Qualification Statement 7011139 ffp l 3 l 9
- ~,
g
to be submitted at a later date). The direct testimony of the NRC Staff will consist of the " Safety Evaluation Report Input - Geosciences Branch", the Supplemenial Testimony of John Kelleher (Appendix E to the Safety Evaluation j
Report Input), and the Fobert E. Regan Reports (A: pendix F to the Safety Evalu i ation Report I'nput).
The direct testimony of the USGS will consist of the U.S."
Geological Reports dated February 23, 1978 and September 17, 1979 (Appendix D of the Safety Evaluation Report Input).
All of these documents were distrib-uted to the Board and the parties on October 3, 1979, although the USGS Reports were distributed previously under separate cover.
It should be noted that the Safety Evaluation Report Input and,the USGS Reports were prepared and evaluated by the respactive NRC Staff and USGS review teams. Consequently, it would be appropriate for cross-examination questions to be directed to the panel and then the panel can decide who reviewed and evaluated the subject matter of the question. We believe that this procedure would save time since it would direct the question to the person who can best respond to it.
In addition, certain individuals who advised the USGS of their field work in Skagit area, e.,q.,
John Whetten and Howard Gower, will be available if the Board or tne parties so decire. However, it should be emphasized that these individuals sers2d as advisors to the USGS in a limited capacity. They were not a part of either the USGS or NRC review teams and, consequently, they did not render a professional opinion as to the acceptability of the Skagit site ncr can they support the ultimate conclusions with respect to the geology or seismalogy issues presented in the direct testimony. Accordingly, they will I
not be presented as witnesses to support and defend the Staff's direct evidence.
Finally, enclosed is the Supplemental Testimony of James P. Knight Concerning Conservatisms in Seismic Design. This testimony is presented to respond to a Board request (Tr. 14,202) and is not offered to respond to any issue in con-troversy in this LWA proceeding.

ROBERT D. REGAN B.S., Physics, Boston College M.S., Geophysics, Boston College Ph.D., Geophysics, lichigan State University a
BACKGROUND
SUMMARY
Robert D. Regan graduated from Boston College in 1962. His graduate degrees in Geophysics are from Boston College (M.S.) and Michigan State University (Ph.D). He was with the U.S. Geological Survey from 1964 to 1978. His interests center primarily on the analysis and interpretation of potential field and remote sensing data. During his career with the USGS, he had the opportunity to conduct research in lunar geophysical studies, remote sensing, spectral analysis of gravity data, and the reduction and analysis of satellite magnetometer data.
In addition, he was involved in the geological training of NASA astronauts and served in several staff positions; most recently as chief of the satellite magnetometer studies project. His research in this area demonstrated the application of satellite magnetometer data to solid earth 4
studies and provided the basis for NASA's Magsat Program. One of the best known results of his work is the discovery of the Bangui anomaly. This satel-lite magnetic anomaly is situated over Banqui, the capitol city of the Central African Empire (formerly the Central African Republic). Analysis of this anomaly has indicated significant crustal structure that could have an impact on the country's resource potential. The work of the Banqui anomaly was widely reported in the world press and resulted in the visit of Dr. Regan to the Central African Empire as the guest of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Bokassa I.
One result of this work is a proposed multinational study of this country's mineral resources sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development and the United Nations.
The global magnetic anomaly map produced by Dr. Regan and his co-workers and the analysis of the Banqui anomaly provided the intitial impetus for a new program by the National Aeronautics and Space Adminstration. Working with the NASA personnel Dr. Regan presented, to the U.S. Government, the case for a new satellite magnetometer program specifically designed to study earth The resulting satellite termed Magsat is scheduled for launch resourc';.
in September of 1979.
During part of this t'ime Dr. Regan also served as staff geophysicist for Remote sensing and Geomagnetism. Administratively involved in the Geological Division's remote sensing and geomagnetism program, he was active in the planning of many new satellite programs-as well as ground based magnetic observations. He served on the interagency advisory board for the Inter-national Magnetospheric Study and chaired the panel responsible for the design of the ground based stations.

My name 3s Robert E. Jackson.
I presently reside at 6609 Carleton Court 2
Laurel, Maryland 20810 and am employed as Branch Chief, Geosciences Branch, 2 Division of Systems Safety, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington, D. C. 20555.
PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS I. received a B. S. degree in Geology from the University.of Rhode Island, and a Ph.D. degree in Geology from the University of North Carolina with a specialty in structural geology - rock mechanics.
I have been employed by NRC since August 1974.in the areas of Structural Geology and Fault Geology as applied to the evaluation of the suitability of nuclear power plant sites, My area of expertise includes structural geology of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, rock. mechanics, teconophysics, petrology, and fault identification and behavior.
I am experienced in field analysis.
From 1973 to 1974 I was employed by Martin Marietta Laboratories in Baltimore, Maryland as a research scientist. My work for this corporate research and development laboratory consisted of a variety of problem-solving programs in rock mechanics relating to quarrying and blasting.
I also contributed to programs in rdpid tunneling and. excavation technology.
I also was involved in evaluating and developing new technologies for the crushed stone quarrying industry.
I directed a program of investigation of sliding triction as it relates to earth-quake source mechanicsms and frictional behavior of fault zones. While at Martin Marietta Laboratories, I was an author or co-author of 12 professional papers in these various fields.
From 1969 to 1973, I was a research assistant and teaching assistant at the University of North Carolina. My activity as a research assistant was in the development of a triaxial rock mechanics laboratory. One project I conducted in this lab was a study of experimental rock dilatancy as an earthquake mechanism. My dissertation was a study of sliding friction in foliated rocks and fault mylonites, including the behavior of fault gouge.
Teaching experience consisted of teaching undergraduate and advanced structural geology laboraqtries as well as teaching field mapping.
I have presented papers at national meetings of professional societies to which I belong, including the American Geophysical Union, Geological Society of America, and the International Society for Rock Mechanics.
