(Big Rock Point Plant)

)

(Spent Fuel Pool Modification)

AFFIDAVIT OF LEON REITER I Leon Reiter being duly sworn do depose and state:

1.

My name is Leon Reiter and I am Leader of the Seismology Section of the Geosciences Branch in the Division of Engineering of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Nuclear Regulatory Commission-Washington, D.C.

20555.

2.

A copy of my professional qualifications is attached to this affidavit.

3.

I have also served as the seismological reviewer for all plants in the Systematic Evaluation Program including Big Rock Point.

4.

The purpose of my affidavit is to clarify and update a response given to a question which was asked of me during my deposition taken April 16,1982, with regard to whether the May 20 memorandum (discussed at p. 157 of my deposition) identified Big Rock Point as an anomalous site. While that memorandum did not do so, as I stated in my deposition, Big Rock Point has been subsequently. identified as a potentially anomalous site. The Staff has ascertained that no assessment had been made as to 8206040220 820527 PDR ADOCK 05000155 O

PDR

/

whether modification of the generalized soil site specific seismic spectra recommended for Big Rock Point in the context of the Systematic Evaluation Program was required. The Staff has begun such an assessment.

I hereby' certify that the above statements are'true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.

Leon Reiter Subscribed and sworn to before me this d 5 tay of May, 1982.

I presently reside at 1960 Dundee Road, Rockville, Maryland 20S50 and am employed as a Seismologist, Geosciences Branch, Division of Site Safety and Environmental Analysis, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington, D.C. 20555.

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Geology from Brooklyn tollege in 1958, a Master of Science degree in Geology (Geophysics from the University of Michigan in 1968, a Master of Arts. degree in Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 1970 and a Ph.D. in Geology (Geophysics) from the University of Michigan in 1971.

In the year following receipt of my Ph.D. I was'a National Science Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Geophysics in La Jolla, California.

From 1972 to 1976 I was an Assistant Professor of Geophysics at the University' of Oklahoma.

During.the summer of 1975 I was.a visiting scientist of the U. S. Geological Survey National Center for Earthquake Research in Menlo Park, California.

I joined the NRC in August, 1976 as a Seismologist and since August 1979 I have been Leader of the Seismology Section in the Geosciences Jranch of the Division of Engineering.

My research during my academic career has included the areas of crustal exploration, seismic wave attenuation, midcontinent seismicity and tectonics, earthquake prediction and the application of seismic techniques to engineering problems.

At NRC I.have been actively involved in review of sites for nuclear facilities in all parts of the United States and in several foreign countries.

I have also taken a lead responsibility for studies in the fields of strong motion seismology, near-field groundmotion, and probabilistic risk assessments.

I am a member of the American Geophysical Union, the Seismological Society of America, the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute.

I have served as a member of the Plate Interiors Working Group of the U. S. Geodynamics Committee, the Interagency '

Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction and the Panel on National Regional and Local Seismograph Networks of the National Research Council-National Academy of Sciences.

I have authored or co-authored papers published. in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, the Proceedings of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and National Science Foundation Conference Proceedings.
