DPC Letter, IAC-7387. Linder to Eisenhut, dated February 27, 1981.
Gentlemen:
Enclosed find Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for Ifistorical Seismicity Within 200 Miles of Plant (SEP-II.4.C) which we have prepared for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor.
Our letter, Reference 1, identified topics for DPC to submit for NRC evaluation.
t'he subject topics were listed in the schedule submitted with Reference 1 If there are any questions regarding this letter, please contact us.
Very truly yours, DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE 7-

depiction of historic seismic events is utilized in determining a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE).
The La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor is located on the eastern ' shore of the blississippi River approximately 19 miles south of the City of I,a Crosse, Wisconsin.
The site is in a tectonically stable area where no earthquakes
- cansing major damage have been experieticed during the history ot' earthquake observation.
The Uniform Building Code, 1958 Edition, includes the sice in Zone 0 (No Damage).
The attached list (rigure 1) relates all historical seismic events within 200 miles of the plant by geographical distance and orienta-tion.
It is noted that no seismic events have occurred within 100 statute i
miles of the facility.
Only 'l seismic ever.ts were recorded within 200 miles.
The closest of these was in Illinois, approximately 125 statute milets from the plant.
This concludes this SEP Topic review.
