AFFIDAVIT OF DR. WILLIAM H.
WHITE COALITION FOR SAFE POWER'S CONTENTION NO. 22 1.
My name is William H.
White.
I am employed by Bechtel Power Corporation (Bechtel) in the San Francisco Power Divi-sion as an Engineering Specialist.
I have been employed in this position since 1976.
My professional qualifications are contained in an attachment to this affidavit.
2.
I participated in the performance of the seismic analy-sis of the Trojan Control Building, Auxiliary Building and Fuel Building Complex (Complex) for the licensing proceedings on interim operation, and have either performed or supervised the seismic analysis of the Complex with the proposed modifi-cations.
These analyses determined, among other things, the displacements of structural elements of the Complex.
3.
The purpose of this affidavit is to address Con-solidated Intervenors' Contention No. 22 which reads as follows:
The effect of the steel plate on displacement in the Complex has not been completely analyzed.

White 4.
This affidavit will discuss the analyses that have been performed to determine displacements in the Complex and will explain the effect of the addition of the steel plate.
5.
During a seismic event, structures and their components undergo displacements.
These displacements are time-dependent, and at any moment different elements of a structure may exper-ience displacements of dif ferent directions and magnitudes.
One such relative displacement can be classified as an inter-structure displacement, which affects two adjacent structures such that if excessive displacements were to occur, they could strike each other.
6.
For interim operation, an analysis was performed for the entire Complex in the as-built condition to calculate the maximum displacements of the Control Building and the adjacent structures, both in the north-south and in the east-west directions.
Displacement values were obtained at all floor levels and all column lines.
The relative displacements were conservatively obtained by taking the absolute summation of the respective displacements at various levels.
The gaps provided between the Control Building and the structural elements of adjacent structures exceed the calculated relative displacements by a wide margin, assuring that the buildings will not touch.
7.
As part of the modification work, the west wall (R-line wall) will be strengthened by a steel plate which will be added to the west face of the wall between column lines 41

White and 47, from el.
59'-3" to el.
97'-3".
This plate is three inches thick and will be secured to the wall by high strength bolts.
This plate and the addition of new concrete walls a-long column lines N, N',
and R will increase the stiffness of the Complex.
Because of the added stiffness, the displacements along any wall, including the R line wall, during a seismic occurrence will be smaller than they would have been prior to the modifications.
8.
If additional measures were not taken, the addition of the 3 inch steel plate would eliminate some of the existing gap between the Control Building and Turbine Building at el. 93' and 69',
where Turbine Building girders and floor slabs are located.
At all other levels and locations, the sufficiency of the existing gap is not af fected by the addition of the 3 inch steel plate.
To assure a sufficient gap remains following completion of the modification program, prior to the installation of the steel plate, the following will be perforr.ed in the Turbine Building:
1.
At el. 93' between column lines 41 and 47, 3 inches will be removed from the concrete slab and 2 inches will be removed from the steel girder flange.
2.
At el.
69',
between column lines 41 and 47, approx-imately 1 ft. 6 in of the overhanging part of the concrete slab will be removed without any modifica-tion to the steel girder.

White 9.
An analysis of the modified Complex was performed to determine the displacements.
The following table lists the relative displacements of the two structures at the two sensi-tive levels, the absolute summation of such displacements and the " gap" which will be provided by the foregoing modifica-tions ac each level to assure that the two structures will not touch:
Control Building and Turbine Buildina Relative Displacements at Plate, and Gaps Provided Maximum EW Displacements (Inch) SSE.25g El. 93' El. 69' Turbine Building (TB) @ 5% damping 0.9 0.15 Control Building (CB) @ 5% damping 0.046 0.031 ABS Combination TB & CB 0.946 0.181 Gap provided after modifications are made 2.0 2.5 Maximum NS Displacements (Inch) SSE.25a El. 93' Turbine Building (TB) @ 5% damping 1.25 Control Building (CB) @ 5% damping 0.086 ABS Combination TB & CB 1.336 Gap provided at plate 4.0 (No modifications needed)

The above discussion demonstrates that the effect of the addition of the steel plate on displacements in the modified Complex has been fully analyzed to assure that, in the event of a seismic occurrence, the gap between the Turbine and Control Buildings will be adequate to prevent the buildings from touching.
