SUMMARY

OF OCTOBER 24, 1978 MEETING ON GEOLOGY OF COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION A meeting was held on October 24, 1978 in Bethesda, Maryland with representatives from Texas Utilities Service, Inc. (TUST),

Dames and Moore (DSM) and H. J. Gruy and Associates, Inc.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the geology at the Cemanche Peak site and surrounding area.

The attendees are listed in Enclosure 1.

The meeting notice and agenda are included as Enclosure 2.

TUSI and their consultants responded to agenda item 3 by presenting information regarding seismic activity in the surrounding area.

They also described the seismic monitoring program for the site area.

Exhibits were provided to support their conclusions regarding low probability of seismic activity in the vicinity of Comanche Peak site.

Seismicity associated with hydrocarbon production was discussed including possibility for effects within area surrounding the site'.

Based on the discussions, we agreed that there..did.not appear to be any problems with seismicity for the Comanche Peak site.

The staff's informal comments (agenda item 1) were reviewed.

TUSI noted where the responses to these comments had been included in amendments 1 and 2 of the CPSES FSAR.

Those comments which had not been responded to were noted.

TUSI agreed to provide the following additional information:

1.

A photomosaic of the site area.

2.

Large scale surface maps and geologic cross-section of the site area.

, JAN 171979 3.

A set of well logs of wells in the site area.

4.

An independently prepared structural contour map of the site area.

5.

A falso color aerial photograph of the CPSES site.

6.

Definition of the term " depletion drive" as used in the FSAR.

The draft seismology-geology Q-l's (agenda item 2) were reviewed.

Clarifications were provided to questions.

With respect to question 361.25, it was agreed that the information regarding well drilling activity could be provided on a quarterly basis beginning in November 1978 rather than bimonthly as originally requested.

At[ENDA JAN 171979 C0!'ANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION TEXAS I?TILITIES GENERATING COMPANY LOCKET NOS. 50-445/446 1.

Discuss all informal comments of March 28 and September 12, 1978 with particular emphasis on:

a.

_ Item 10 - Provide the referenced structural contour maps prepared by an independent organization such as GE0 MAP.

b.

Item 16 - Provide well logs as requested.

2.

Draf t Q-l's can be discussed if the Applicant has questions.

The NRC feels the following presentations should be made:

n.

Continuity of the Paluxy Sand - Glen Rose Contact (NRC Questions 361.1 and 361.22). The relevant field maps photos, notes, etc.

~

and other information used in the completion of this contact is to be available at the meeting, b.

Bi-monthly information regarding continuing hydracarbon exploration in site area (NRC question 361.25)

A.

What is the nature of the contact between the Paluxy Sand-Glen Rose? Conformal-noninformable? Figure 2.5.1-11 indicates a conformable contact.

3.

Discuss the expected use of water injection in hydrocarbon production within 5 miles of the site during the lifetime of the plant. Discuss the possibility of seismici_ty associated with hydro-carbon production within 5 miles of the site during the lifetime of the plant.

REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION g'

7g COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION TEXAS UTILITIES CENERATING COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-445/446 361.16 Structural cross-sections (Figures 2.5.1-30 and 2.5.1-31) depict the (2.5.1.2)

Big Saline and older units as essentially flat-lying.

The overlying Strawn formation, however, is shown dipping rather steeply (roughly 100 f t/mi) to the east (Figure 2.5.1-23a).

Discuss.

361.17 As requested in NRC question 361.4, provide copies of the telephone (2.5.1.2) conversations with A. Uinslow and J. Montgomery, both of the U. S.

Geological Survey regarding the non-subsidence potential of the Cretaceous sandstone in the site vicinity.

361.18 The Strawn formation is apparently 400 f t. thicker in the Mid-Continent (2.5.1.2)

Petroleum Corp. No. 1 Squaw Creek Co. well than at the Gulf Oil Corp.

No. 1, D. McIntosh well (Figure 2.5.1-30).

Explain why a fault could not be more likely placed between these wells rather than between the two wells indicated on Figure 2.5.1-30.

361.19 On cross-section A-A' (Figure 2.5.1-30), a fault with approximately (2.5.1.2) 100 feet of displacement is interpreted between wells Gulf Oil Corp.,

No. 1, C. L. Campbell and Gulf Oil Corp., No. 1 D. McIntosh, Discuss the ratf.onale and basis for the necessity of placing a fault at this location.

361.20 Provide a discussion and figures as appropriate addressing why a fault (2.5.1.2) could not be interpreted between vells 4 and 4a (see Figure 2.5.1-24, Marble Falls-Structure Map.)

-2' 361.21 The response to NRC question 361.5 is incomplete.

Please discuss the (2.5.1.2) potential for hydraulic interconnection between Squaw Creek Reservoir Address in and faulting which may exist within 5 miles of the site.

particular a suggested E-W fault located between well numbers 4 and 4a (see Figure 2.5.1-17).

361.22 Insuf ficient positive evidence has been provided to enable the NRC (2.5.1.1) exist with-staf f to conclude that subsurf ace faulting does or does not in 5 miles of the site.

If faulting were to exist within this radius its non-capability can be shown by providing evidence demonstrating the continuity of a well-defined marker horizon such as the Paluxy Sand-Glen Rose Limestone contact.

Provide appropriate discussion and illustra-tions demonstrating the continuity of this Cretaceous contact within the area depicted on Figure 2.5.1-10, Vicinity Geologic Map.

361.23 Although the probability may be low, the NRC staff, based on presently (2.5.1.2) available data, can not preclude hydrocarbon production within the plant Position exclusion area.

As depicted on the mineral right ownership cap provided to the NRC by Texas Utilities Services,'Inc. correspondence of July 24, 1978 hydrocarbon production may be possible within 500 feet of a seismic category I structure (containment).

361.24 Provide the basis for the statement (FSAR p. 2.5-32) that the hydrocarbon (2.5.1.2) production within 5 miles of the site is believed to be from stratigraphic traps, not structural traps.

361.25 The response to NRC question 361.14 is not acceptable.

The requested (2. 5.. l. 2) information is to be previded on a bi-monthly basis through the safety hearing (currently not scheduled before January, 1980).

Please indicate your intention tg compl with this request.
