J. Philip, Geotechnical Engineer, Structural and Geotechnical Engineering Branch, DE The following sections sunnarize the staff's geotechnical engineering ),

review of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (SHNPP as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) through Amendment Number 9 dated Au materials and foundations (gust 18, 1983. The stability of subsurface FSAR Section 2.5.4), the stability of slopes (FSAR Section 2.5.5), and embankments and dams (FSAR Secti'on 2.5.6) have been evaluated in accordance with the criteria outlined in 10 CFR Parts 50 and 100, Regulatory Guide 1.70 Revision 3 Regulatory Guides 1.132, 1.138, 1.127, and the current Standard Review Plan (SRP), NUREG-0800 dated July 1981, Sections 2.5.4 and 2.5.5.

2.5.4 Stability of Subsurface Materials and Foundations The reismic Category I structures, systems, and components (SSC) for Units 1 and 2 that were reviewed for foundations stability are listed in FSAR Table 3.2.1-1.

Units 3 and 4 which were originally proposed, have been cancelled. The excavation for these units is to be backfilled against a retaining wall, approximately 400 ft. long, along the west side of the Units 1 and 2 structures.

The seismic Category I SSC that were reviewed are as follows:

- containment buildings

- auxiliary buildings

- fuel handling buildings

- waste processing buildings

- tank buildings (housing the refueling water storage tank, the reactor make-up tank and the condensate storage tank)

- diesel generator building

- diesel fuel oil storage building

- Emer ency Service Water (ESW) structures, pipelines and channels

- auxi iary dam, separating dike and channel

.- main dam

[

The staff will review the 400 foot long retaining wall as a seismic Category I structure because a postulated failure of the retainin wall could affect the safety of the adjacent seismic Category I fuel h ndling j

l building. The stability analysis of the retaining wall has not been reviewed by the staff; the staff's evaluation of the analysis will be addressed in a supplement to the SER.

The staff's evaluation of the geotechnical engineering aspects of the foundations for the main powerblock structures, the ESW screen structure, intake structure and pipelines and the ESW discharge structure and pipe-lines are discussed in the following parts' of Se:: tion N

g..

. 2.5.4 of the SER. The dams, dike and channels are discussed in Section 2.5.6 of the SER.

2.5.4.1 Site Conditions, 2.5.4.1.1 Site and Plant Description 1

General Description The.SHNPP site is located ab~out 16 miles southwest of Raleigh, North Carolina, in the southeast corner of Chatham County. The plant is built on a peninsula between Tom Jack Creek and Thomas Creek (see SER Figure 2.6). These creeks flow into Buckhorn Creek which itself empties into

- the Cape Fear River about 7 miles southeast of the plant.

a.

Plant Cooling Water About 4.5 miles south of the plant the main dam was constructed across Buckhorn Creek. The main dam impounds water for nonnal plant cooling

' purposes. Emergency cooling water for safe shutdown of the plant is impounded by the auxiliary dam built across Tom Jack Creek, as shown on SER Figure 2.6.

The auxiliary dam is also referred to as the west auxiliary dam in the FSAR. Both the main and auxiliary dams are seismic Category 1 Structures.

Normal cooling water is taken from the main reservoir via the cooling tower make-up water intake channel (SER Figure 2.6). This channel is not seismic Category I and has not been reviewed by the geotechnical engineering staff.

Emergency cooling water for safe shutdown' of'the plant is 'obtained from the auxiliary reservoir via the ESW intake channel (SER Figure 2.6) and is pumped from the ESW screen structure and the intake structure to the plant via the ESW intake pipelines.

~

Cooling water from the plant is discharged through.the ESW discharge structure and channel to the auxiliary dam reservoir (SER Figure 2.6).

In order to provide adequate cooling of the emergency water supply, a seismic Category 1 auxiliary separating dike has been constructed. This dike causes plant discharge water to flow longer distances through the auxiliary dam reservoir channel and along the west side of the auxiliary dam reservoir (SER Figure 2.6), thereby allowing greater time for cooling.

Normal water level in the auxiliary dam reservoir is 250 ft above mean sea level (E1. 250)'; r.ormal water level in the. main dam reservoir is at E1. 220 feet.

Structures Original grade in the main plant area ranged from about E1. 275 to about E1. 250. Final grade around the plant is El. 260.

The bottom of excavation for the various powerblock structures generally ranged from E1. '179 to El. 234. The bottom of excavation for the other safety-related structures as shown on FSAR Figure 2.5E-10, were as follows:

~

ESW screen structure E1. 218 to E1. 226.

ESW intake structure E1. 182 to E1. 184 ESW discharge structure: E1. 232 to E1. 235 Diesel fuel oil storage building:

E1. 234 to E1. 238 Diesel generator building:

E1. 239 to E1. 246 All the structures discussed above are supported on sound' rock.

(See Section 2.5.4.1.3 of the SER for the definition of sound and weathered rock.)

c.

Pipelines The ESW intake pipeline is about 1100 ft. long, running north from the ESW intake structure to the main powerblock (tank building). The bottom of the 30-inch diameter pipes are at E1. 250. The original grade along the pipeline alignment ranged from about El. 270 near the powerblock to about El. 250 near the ESW intake structure, but was a:; ic.w as E1. 235 at a location about 100 ft. north of the ESW intake structure.Therefore, the pipes are supported on as much as 15 ft, of compacted random fill in some areas.

(see SER Section 2.5.4.2 for definition cf random fill)

In other areas, the pipes are supported on undisturbed (medium dense clayey silt to sandy silt) residual soils that are only about 8 ft.

thick over weathered rock.

The ESW discharge pipeline is about 700 ft. long, running north from the main powerblock to the ESW discharge structure. The bottom of the 30 inch diameter pipes are at El. 250. The original grade along the pipeline alignment ranged frnm E1. 270 near the ESW dischr.rge structure and near the powerblock, to a low of about El. 243 for a distance of about 100 ft. north of the powerblock. Therefore, a short section of the ESW discharge pipeline is supported on as much as 8 ft. of compacted random fill while most of the pipeline is supported on unuisturbed (medium dense clayey silts to sandy silt) residual soils.

2.5.4.1.2 Site Investigations Subsurface investigations for the SHNPP site included about 1250 borings of which more than 280 were in the main powerblock area, and more than 400 were in the vicinity of the dams and channels.

Field work included Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and sampling in' soil in accordance with ASTM D-1586; diamond drill cores were taken in rock that qendrally was l

. encountered at depths less than 30 ft. below ground surface.. Relatively undisturbed 3 inch diameter samples and 25 lb. bag samples of soil were also obtained..The soil and rock samples were used for laboratory testing to establish static and dynamic engineering properties of the foundation and embankment materials.

Additi'nal information on the subsurface soil conditions at'the site was o

obtained from trenches, totalling over 12,000 linear ft., in the power block, main dam and auxiliary dam areas. The trenches were excavated by backhoe to. depths of generally 2 to 10 ft. deep, and as deep as 15 ft.

where diabasa (intrusions of fine to medium grained dikes in the parent rock)wereencountered.

Geophysical explorations at the site included seismic refraction surveys along 6 seismic lines (5000 linear ft) and along the axes of the main and auxiliary dam and the associated spillways, shear wave velocity surveys along Trench 1 (3400 linear ft) and along the axes of the auxiliary dam and auxiliary reservoir separating dike, and a downhole velocity survey in Boring P-6, located about 400 ft. southwest of Unit I reactor building.

The details of the boring and trenching exploration are provided in FSAR Appendix 2.5-A; the details of the geophysical studies are provided in FSAR Section 2.5.2.5.

The staff has concluded that the applicant has obtained adequate subsurface information at the site in accordance with R.G. 1.132 (" Site Investigations for Foundations of Nuclear Power Pla'nts") to adequately define the subsurface conditions at the site.

Staff review of the site data presented indicates no evidence of zones of solutioning, caverns or highly weathered areas that would allow for subsidence under the anticipated foundation loadings.

2.5.4.1.3 Properties of Subsurface Materials The surficial soils in the plant area are residual soils, generally.less than 10 feet thick, and consist of clayey silt to sandy silt (ML/CL/SC).

SPT values in the residual soils were generally in.the range of 20 blows /ft. with some lower values near ground surface and higher values near the rock surface in weathered rock materials. The properties of the residual soils are discussed in FSAR Section 2.5.6.4.

The applicant used the following properties for compacted residual soils (compacted random fill, see SER Section 2.5.4.2) in the analysis of buried pipes, conduits and manholes. These structures are the only seismic Category 1 structures supported on the compacted residual soil.

In excavations, weathered rock was considered to be material that could not be removed on a production basis by the blade of a D-8 tractor or equivalent. Suitable or sound rock was considered to be material that could not be removed on a production basis by a single ripper on a D-8 tractor or equivalent.

The sound rock is generally dense and massive as indicated by good recovery of cores-(generally in excess of 80%) and high rock quality designation (RQD) values that averaged 92.7% below E1. 235. The static engineering properties of the sound rock were determined from laboratory tests. The following average properties of sound rock were determined from the testing program.

dry density = 1631b/cu ft unconfined compressive strength = 8148 psi (1173 ksf) angle of internal friction (9) = 45 degrees cohesion (c) = 2400 psi Poisson's ratio = 0.24 (from laboratory unconfined compression tests)'

The Young's modulus used for calculating the static settlement of the plant structures was based on a conservative RQD of 75%. From Refgrence5,theresultingYoung'smodulusforaRQDof75%is6.8 X10 psi.

The dynamic engineering properties of the residual soils, weathered rock and sound rock were determined primarily from the geophysical explora-tions with some confirmation of property values by laboratory compression wave velocity. testing. The average properties are:

.35 The a'pplicant's observations, inspections and tests during construction revealed no significant differences in subsurface materials from the conditions assumed for design. The laboratory testing program is in

. accordance with R.G. 1.138 " Laboratory Investigation of Soils for Engineering Analysis and Design of Nuclear Power Plants." Therefore, the staff has concluded that the applicant has adequately investigated and analyzed the subsurface conditions at the site and has established appropriate subsurface material properties for foundation design.

2.5.4.1.4 Groundwater Conditions The design ground water level for the plant structu'res is E1. 251.

The groundwater levels in the plant area were observed in the borings for site exploration and in piezometers that had been monitored for a number of years.

Observed groundwater le' els ranged from E1. 240 to E1.

v 272 but the higher levels are believed to have recorded perched water table from water trapped in fractures in the bedrock. During foundation excavation some seepage occurred from the rock joints; the relatively small. quantity of water was handled by intermittent pumping from sumps.

Backfill around the plant structures is relatively impenneable soil.

(permeability coefficient less than 10~6. cm/sec) selected to prevent high piezometric levels against the structures if high water levels were maintained in the main reservoir. With the cancellation of Units 3 and

. 4, the normal pool level in the main reservoir is E1. 220; the previously anticipated.nonnal pool level was E1. 250. The auxiliary reservoir normal pond level is El. 250 but groundwater flow will be i

toward the main reservoir (see SER Figure 2.6). Since the plant lies about 300 ft from the auxiliary reservoir and the backfill arounc the plant is relatively impervious, the groundwater level at the plant will be below the design groundwater level' of E1. 251' Piezometric levels measured near the plant structures after filling of the auxiliary reservoir-(FSAR Fig.2.4.13-2) confinns that the groundwater levels are below the design groundwater level. Further discussion about groundwater is presented in Section 2.4 of the SER.

N

7 2.5.4.2 Excavation'and Backfill In 1974 the site was leveled to fic 1 grade of El. 260 by excavating high areas and filling low areas. Low areas were raised to final plant grade by placing and compacting random fill material consisting of residual soil and broken rock materials. The applicant classified the.

random fill into five categories ranging from all-soil (clayey silt and

. silty clay) to mostly-rock material (siltstone up to 21 inches in size).

The finer grained soils were compacted in 8" lifts by a sheepsfoot roller to 95% of the maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D-698); the coarser materials consisting primarily of broken rock were placed in 24" lift thicknesses and compacted by six passes of a 40,000 pound vibratory roller based on the results of a test fill program.

Field test results of* random fill used for support of the Category 1 pipes and conduits (Reference 1) show that the compaction requirements were met.

After leveling the site to plant grade, the excavation proceedeo using bulldozers and scrapers. The excavation was completed to final grade by controlled blasting in successive lifts.

Front end loaders placed the broken rock into trucks for removal up an access ramp.

i The plant excavation had a maximum lateral extent of approximately 925 feet in the north-south direction ana 990 feet in the east-west direction.' Floor elevations for the various levels within the excavation range from E1. 234 for the shallowest part to E1. 179 for the deepest level.(The bottom elevation of the mat foundations for the various structures range from E1. 180 to E1. 235) The side slopes of the excavation were 1: 1(Horizontal: Vertical) in the overburden soil and 1/4:1 in rock.

Exposed rock surfaces were cleaned, geologically mapped and then protected by slush grouting or shotcreting.

Backfill (residual soil without rock fragments) around the powerblock stnJetures referred to as select fill was required to be fine-grained, clayey and silty soils (generally over 70% passing US# 200 sieve and a plasticity index ranging from 0 to 9)) that would have low permeability as discussed in Section 2.b.4.1.4 above. The backfill around structures was compacted to the specified 95 percent of Standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) at a moisture content within 4% of the optimum moisture content (Reference 1). The perme material is low (coefficient less than 10-gbility of the backfill cm/sec). Sumaries of field test dats (Reference 1) confinn that the backfill meets specifications for material type and compaction.

The staff expressed concken that the clay backfill (around structures)

' that supports seismic Category I pipes would allow differential settlements that could result in exces2ive pipe stresses near areas where pipe would be rigidly supported e.g., on the rigid wall of the building and on sound rock at the edges of the excavations. The

_ applicant elected to mitigate this concern by replacing the clay J

backfill with lean concrete at locations beneath seismic Category I.

pipes where this difference in foundation rigidity exists. The staff found this solution to be acceptable.

2.5.4.3 Foundation Stability 2.5.4.3.1 Static Loading The calculated maximum static foundation stresses to be applied range from about 4 to 10 ksf for the seismic Category I structures. The applicant has calculated the factor of safety for bearing capacity to be 28, and the mgximum settlement to be 0.42 inches based on a Youngs modulus of 6.8 X 10 psi. This settlement is considered to be predomi-nantly elastic compressicn of the bedrock that will occur during con-struction. The. settlements measured to date (Reference 1). are less than 0.42 inches. The staff concurs in the applicant's assessment that there is an adequate factor of safety against bearing capacity failure and that mar.imum total and differential settlements will be less than 1/2 inch.

2.5.4'.3.2 Dynamic Loading The design SSE has a maximum horizontal acceleration of 0.15g at foundation level. The corresponding acceleration level for the OBE is 0.075g.

Further discussion of the design earthquake is presented in Section 2.5.2 of the SER..

The seismic Category I structures are supported on s a.-! rock and the structure response to dynamic loading was analyzed u::

- -ha lumped mass-spring method. The spring constants were calcult from the geophysical investigation results (shear and compress w. wave velocities) using standard engineering equations (FSAR Table 2.5.4-8).

For the seismic Category I pipelines and manholes that are soil supported,.the acceleraticns used for the design of these structures were obtained by the computer program SHAKE. The acceleration (SSE) was input at the top of weathered rock. The input soil and rock properties were obtained from field geophysical measurements and laboratcry testing and has been discussed previously in Section 2.5.4.1.3 of the SER. The staff's evaluation of the dynamic structural analyses is discussed in Section 3 of the SER. The staff concludes that the applicant adopted i

appropriate soil and rock properties in.the. dynamic analysis of structures and pipelines to assure their safety during the.SSE.

2.5.4.4 Liquefaction Potential The plant structures are supported on bedrock, therefore. 1'iquefaction is not a problem. Some safety-related pipes and conduits are supported on undisturbed residual soils and compacted fill soils. These materials are various combinations of cohesive, silty clay, to clayey silt soils, and weathered rock. These materials are not susceptible to liquefaction. Thus, we concur in the' applicant's conclusion that liquefaction is not.a potential hazard for the plant structures and associated pipelines and conduits.

2.5.4.5 Lateral Loads 1

The below-ground walls of structures were designed for full at rest pressure daveloped by the compacted backfill using a coefficient of earth pressure of 0.7.

Dynamic lataral earth pressures were calculated using two methods.

In the first method, used for a number of subsurface walls, soil strains were determined from the arithmetic sum of wall movements (calculated in the dynamic structural analyses) and the free-field soil moveinent. The lateral pressures were then calculated using the laboratory detennined pressure-strain relationships for the silty clay backfill.

In the second method used for some subsurface walls, a passive coefficient of 3.0 was assigned for the backfill, while a coefficient of 2.03 was used for backfill for that part of the wall

~

below rock. The resulting soil pressures by the two methods, for different Category I walls are illustrated in Reference 2.

Pressure due to groundwater was considered for the depths below the design j

hydrostatic level (EL. 251). Based on the review of the lateral pressure analysis, the staff has concluded that the applicant has used l

acceptable state-of-the-art procedures.

2.5.4.6 Instrumentation During construction, measurements were taken on monuments to record vertical movements of structures. Groundwater levels were also recorded. The applicant plans to continue monitoring of the groundwater levels, on a ' weekly basis, until the start of plant operations. At that time, the frequency of monitoring' of groundwater levels will be reevaluated. Since the plant structures a're founded on sound rock, and the predicted (and actual) settlements are less than 1/2 inch, the applicant plans to discontinue monitoring vertical movements of the structures at the start of plant operations.

2.5.4.7 Conclusion Based on the applicant's design criteria and on the results of the applicant's investigations, laboratory and field tests, and analyses, the staff has concluded that the site and plant foundations are adequate i

to support the seismic Category I structures, pipelines and conduits at i

the Shearon Harris site. The staff concludes that the geotechnical engineering related site and plant foundation efforts of the applicant rr.eet the requirements of Regulatory Guides pertinent to Section 2.5.4 of the NUREG-0800 and are, therefore, acceptable.-

2.5.5 Stability of Slopes here are no natural slopes at the site that could affect the safety of. ~

the plant. Man-made slopes for dams, dike and channels are discussed in Section 2.5.6 of the SER.

2.5.6.1.1 Main Dam The main dam is a rockfill dem approximately 1550 ft. long' at the crest (E1. 260), with a maximum height of about 108 ft. and a crest width of 25 ft. The dam is constructed with a central impervious core, 10 ft.

wide at the top, w(fine and coarse) pes.

ith 1:2 side slo The core is protected by two 8 ft. wide filters on both upstream and downstream faces'. The rock fill shall of the dam has slopes of 2:1 (upstream and downstream) that are protected by a 4 ft. layer of oversized rock (greater thea 22 inch size) on the entire downstream slope and below El.

2M on the apstream slope. Rip-rap above El. 200 has been placed on the upstream slope. A cross-section of the main dam is shown.in SER Figure 2.5.6.1-1.

The normal water level in the main reservoir (E1. 220) is maintained by two uncontrolled ogee spillways, each 25 ft. wide, that are cut into bedrock on the west (right) abutment of the dam. The spillways are lined with concrete that is secured by rock anchors,.

l The auxiliary (dam is a random rockfill dam approximately 4060 ft. long at the crest El. 260), with a maximum height of about 73 ft., and a crest width of 20 ft. The dam is constructed with a centr'al impervious core, 10 ft. wide at the top, with 1:1 side slopes. The core is protected by 12 ft. wide silty sand transition zones on both upstream and downstream faces. The random rockfill shell of the dam has slopes of'2.5:1 (upstre.am and downstream) that are protected by a 4 ft. layer of rip-rap over a 1 ft. layer of bedding. The rip-rap covers the entire downstream face and above E1. 235 on the upstream face. The downstream shell is provided with two horizontal drainage blankets (crushed rock backfill,' GP, maximum size 3") each 3 ft thick, that are connected to the transition zone -- one at E1. 214 and one at E1. 230. Additionally, a 3 ft. thick drainage layer, 200 ft. ~ wide, is provided under the downstream shell in each of two areas where pre-existing creeks were located. A cross-section of the auxiliary dam is shown in SER Figure f

2.5.6.1-2.

\\

The normal water level in the' auxiliary reservoir (E1. 250) is maintained by an uncontrolled ogee spillway,170 ft w-ide, that is cut into rock on the west (right) abutment of the dam. The spillway is lined with concrete.

2.5.6.1.3 Auxiliary Separating Dike The auxiliary separating dike is a random rockfill embankment approximately 1200 ft. long at the crest (E1. 255), with a maxiganum height of about 55 ft. and a crest width of 20 ft. The embankment is constructed with a central impervious core, 10 ft, wide at the top, with 1:10 side slopes. The random rockfill shell has slopes of 2.5:1 (both sides). There are no filters within the embankment but the finer rockfill material was graded toward the impervious core. A cross-section of the auxiliary separating dike is shown in SER Figure

2. 5. 6.1-P..

2.5.6.1.4 Auxiliary Reservoir Channel The auxiliary reservoir channel (also identified in the FSAR as the west auxiliary channel) is about 1570 ft. long and 140 ft. wide at the invert (E1.'235). The. side slopes are 2:1 in soil and 1:4 in rock. The original grades along the auxiliary reservoir channel alignment ranged from about E1. 235 to E1. 265 and the channel was constructed entirely by excavation of soil,and rock materials as shown on FSAR Figure 2.5.6-6.

2.5.6.1.5 Emergency Service Water Intake Channel The emergency service water (ESW) intake channel is about 3580 ft. long and 50 ft. wide at the invert (E1. 238). The side slopes are 2:1 in soil and 1:4 in rock. The original grade along the ESW-intake channel alignment ranged from about El. 238 to E1. 270. Most of the intake channel construction required removal of s' oil and rock (cut) but some compacted fill was required in the channel base and sides near the ESW Screen Structure, as shown on FSAR Figure 2.5.6-7.

2.5.6.1 6 Emergency Service Water Discharge-Channel The ESW discharge channel is about 2170 ft. long and 50 ft. to 80 ft.

wide at the invert (El. 240). The side slopes are 2:1 in soil and 1:4 in' rock. The original grade along the discharge channel alignment ranged from about El. 250 to El. 275. The discharge channel consisted entirely of soil and rock excavation ~without the need for fill, as shown on FSAR Figure 2.5.6-8.

J 2.5.6.2 Foundation Conditions 2.5.6.2.1 Exploration The applicant's explorations to detamine subsurface conditions at the SHNPP site are discussed in Section 2.5.4.1 of the SER. The areas investigated included the foundations for dams, dike, channel alignments and borrow areas, a.s described in FSAR Section 2.5.6.2.

. 2.5.6.2.2 Foundation Materials In general, the subsurface conditions at the SHNPP site consist of a layer of residual soil (see Section 2.5.4.1.3) generally less than 10 ft. thick overlying weathered rock and sound rock. Some recent alluvium found in valleys was removed in preparing dam foundations.. In excavations, weathered rock was considered to be material that could not be removed, on a production basis, by the blade of a 0-8 tractor or equivalent. Sound rock was considered to be material that could not be removed on a production basis, by a single ripper on a D-8 tractor or equivalent.

At the sein dam site (south 'of the Jonesboro fault) the pre-Triassic igneous and metamorphic rock consist of granite and gneisses with interlayered schists. The predominant foliation strikes approximately N55'E and dips 3df to 60' northwest.

In the auxiliar separating dike areas (north of the Jonesboro fault) y dem and auxiliary the Triassic sedimentary rock (discussed in SER Section 2.5.4.1.3) consists of gently dipping sandstone and siltstone.

Because the rocks at the SHNPP site are jointed and fractured, the foundations for the main and auxiliary dams were grouted to reduce seepage losses from the reservoirs. The auxiliary separating dike foundation was not grouted because there is no head differential across the dike -- its purpose is to direct ~ water flow within the auxiliary reservoir.

The shell of the main dam is founded on weathered' rock, while the impervious core extends to sound rock to form a cut-off trench. The downstream fine filter also extends to sound rock. ~ The auxiliary dam was constructed similarly, i.e., the shell' is founded on weathered rock and core cut-off trench extends to sound rock. The auxiliary separating dike foundation consists of some firm cla~yey residual soil (SPT blow count 20 to refusal) although most of the excavation to prepare the foundation extended to weathered rock.

The auxiliary reservoir, including the auxiliary reservoir channel and ESW intake channels were constructed by excavating into hard residual soils (SPT blow. count greater than 20) or rock-(weathered and/or sound).

. The ESW discharge channel was predominantly cut through rock (weathered and/orsound).

2.5.6.2.3 Foundation Treatment Sound rock exposed in the cut-off trench excavations for th'e main dam and auxiliary dem was cleaned by compressed air or water, and geologically mapped. Details of the mapping procedures are detailed in FSAR Sections 2.5.6.2.1.2.2 and 2.5.6.2.2.2.1.

The cleaned rock surfaces were slush grouted and steep' slopes were modified by dental concrete.

Grouting from the b'ottom.of the cut-off trenches for the main dam and auxiliary dam was done in two phases. Consolidation grouting extended e

e o

3 i

13 -

to a depth of,20 ft. with grout holes on 10 ft. centers. This was followed by curtain grouting to a depth of, about 50 ft.

Primary curtain grout holes were spaced at 40 ft. centers, with secondary curtain grout holes split-spacing the primary holes. The grout holes were pressure-tested and filled with neat cement in at least three stages.

The grouting procedures are described in FSAR Section'2.5E.

Ebasco specifications CAR-SH-CH-11 for grouting are included in FSAR Section 2.5I.

The grout "take" (bags of cement grout pumped into each grout hole) was gene; ally low; average grout takes were: main dam, consolidation grouting = 0.02 bags /ft., curtain grouting = 0.03 bags /ft., auxiliary dam, consolidation grouting = 0.07 bags /ft., curtain grouting = 0.06 l

bags /ft. Additional holes were drilled and grouted in areas where the grout take was high. Check holes were drilled periodically to verify the acceptability of the grouting.

Tne staff observed the grouting operations during site visits and based on our observations at the site and a review of the applicant's sumary of grouting operations, we have concluded that the rock below the cut-off trenches at.the main and auxiliary dams has been properly grouted.

Procedures similar to that for the sound rock (except grouting) were followed in the preparation of the weathered rock surfaces in the foundation areas of the main and auxiliary dam, as well as the weathered rock and residual soil surfaces in the foundation area of the auxiliary separating dike. At the staff's request during construction, the in-place density of the residual soils was determined and then the residual soils were proof-rolled by a loaded scraper. Documentation in Reference 1 attests that percent compaction greater than 97% Standard

. Maximum Proctor density was achieved.

Soft soils were removed as directed by the field engineer. The staff observed some of these operations.during construction and, based on a review of the applicant's documents, we have concluded that the foundations for the main and i

auxiliary dams and for the auxiliary separating dike were properly prepared.

Along the ESW intake channel alignment,'the applicant removed the more-penneable silty sand soils (to minimize seepage from the channel) and replaced it by controlled compacted fill (similar to the backfill around the plant structures) wnen the channel was constructed in 1978.

Summaries of test results (Reference 1) show that the fill along the ESW intake channel alignment met specifications.

2.5.6.3 Embankment Materials and Construction 2.5.6.3.1 Rockfill and Random Rockfill The rockfill material for the shell of the main dam was obtained from the spillway excavation and a quarry located upstream from the left g

. (east) abutment, designated as Area A cn FSAR Figure 2.5F-12. The random rockfill. for the shell of the auxiliary dam and auxiliary separating dike was obtained from excavations for the main plant structures and the channals.

The ro'ckfill was specified to be 22 inches maximum size with a minimum 75% of particles larger than 1/4 inch. The random rockfill was required to be also 22 inches maximum size with a minimum 75% of particles larger than US #10 sieve size. Both materials were required to have an in-place dry den greaterthan10-gitygreaterthan130pcfandapermeabili.tycoefficient cm/sec. The design shear strength parameter was specified to be 30'.

The rockfill was brought to the fill surface from the stockpile at the quarry or from the spillway excavation by haul trucks and end dumped. A D-8 dozer spread the materials to a 24 inch lift thickness. Over sized rocks (greater than 22 inches) were pushed to the exterior of the dam shell forming a 4 feet protective layer (see SER Sections 2.5.6.1.1 and 2.5.6.1.2) for the rock fill shell. The layers of rockfill were then compacted using vibratory m11ers of not less than 40,000. pounds to dry densities exceeding 130 pcf at about 5% moisture contents. The field test results sunnarized in FSAR Section 2. 5F confirm that the specified densities were achieved.

Large. scale (15 inch diameter) triaxial tests conducted by the U.S. Army Core of Engineers (FSAR Appendix 2.5H) confirmed th,e shear strength (for stability analysis) and permeability values for the random and modified random rockfill. The test results indicat'ed a shear strength parameter 3

of 9 = 40' and permeanility coefficients, of greater than 10 cm/sec.

Although no durability tests were conducted for the rockfill, test results (FSAR Appendix 2.5H) indicate that there was. negligible breakdown of the rock after field compaction. The dynamic properties of the rockfill (strain dapendent shear modulus ~and damping ratio) was selected from published literature (see Reference 4).

2.5.6.3.2 Filter Materials The filter materials were obtained from off site sources. The

/

specifications required filter materials to be very well, graded, coarse cohesionless matericls, meeting the specifications shown in'FSAR Section 2.51. The gradation cnaracteristics of the filters are:

The filters were placed by hand or with a D-6 dozer and spreader box in lifts not greater than 16 inches thick and compacted parallel to the dam i

axis, by vibratory rollers of 40,000 pound minimum dynamic force to at l

l 1 east 75% relative density (ASTM D-2049).. A minimum relative density of l

80% was required above El. 220 for the upstream coarse filter and the l

transition filter. The compaction procedu'res had been determined in test fills early in dam construction.

The sunnary of field test results (FSAR Section 2.5F and Reference 1) show that the in-place filters meet the gradation and field density specifications. The staff checked and found that the as-placed filters meet filter' criteria (Reference 7) for the protection of the main dam and auxiliary dam materials.

The static and dynamic properties of the filter materials were selected on the basis of published data on compacted granular materials. FSAR Tables 2.50-30 and 2-5D-31 show the properties ~ assigned to the filtec materials. ' The strain dependent shear modulus and damping ratios for the filter materials ~ were taken from Reference 4.

An angle of internal friction (9) ranging between 35 to 38 degrees was assigned to the materials.

In the CP-SER the staff reviewed and concurred with the applicant's choice of properties for the filter materials.

2.5.6.3.3 Core Materials Borrow material for the impervious core of the main dam was to be obtained from Area M.

This area was found to be unsuitable and Area W

'N e

P,p.

. was used (see FSAR Figure 2.5F-10 for borrow area locations within the mainreservoir). The applicant perfomed extensive laboratory tests on Material M and. Material W to establish their design properties. The tests included compaction (ASTM 0-698 and 0-1557), permeability, static triaxial (unconsolidated-undrained, and consolidated drained), cyclic triaxial, and cyclic torsion tests. The test results (static and dynamic properties) are repor?.ad in FSAR Section 2.50.10 an:1 Section 2.5F. The results for Material M were previously reviewed by the staff and found to be reasonable as reported in the CP-SER.

l The auxiliary dam and auxiliary separating dike cores were constructed with material from Area Z.

This material was tested in the same way as the Material M and Material W. The test results are reported in FSAR Section 2.5C. They were previously reviewed by the staff and found to be reasonable as reported in the CP-SER.

~

The core materials (FSAR Section 2.51) were required to be fige-grained soils (CL) having low permeability (coefficient less than 10- cm/sec).

The specified gradation required at least 40% of the core material to be finer than #200 sieve and to have a plasticity index greater than 10.

The soil was placed by dump trucks and spread by front end loaders or a D-6 dozer in lifts not exceeding 8 inches and compacted by sheepsfoot rollers, to at least 97% of the Standard Proctor Maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) and within 25 of the optimum moisture content. Based on a review during construction of additional tests by the applicant, the staff approved moisture control in the range of -1% + 3% of optimum for core construction above El. 225.

The results of field testing in FSAR Section 2.5F and Reference 1 and a review of the applicant's documents during the site audit (Reference 6) show that the specifications were met for impermeable core construction.

2.5.6.3.4 Rip-Rap The specifications for rip-rap, rovided in FSAR SEction 2.51, required three types of rip-rap: Type A 48 inches to 28 inches), Type B (24 inches to 10 inches) and Type C 16 inches to 6 inches). The suitability of the rip-rap was confirmed by the Los Angeles abrasion test (ASTM C131) and the sodium sulphate soundness. test (ASTM C-88).

During the staff site audit conducted in April 1983, the' staff observed 3

the rip-rap placed in the main and auxiliary dam and concluded that the rip rap appeared to be stable.

2.5.6.3.5 Channels The properties of undisturbed in-situ residual soil used in the stability analysis of the auxiliary reservoir channel and the properties of the compacted fill materials used in the stability analysis of the ESW intake channel were detemined from laboratory triaxial tests (FSAR, Appendix 2K). Samples were not obtained from the ESW discharge channel, as this channel was predo'minantly cut through rock. The material O

The applicant has submitted a summary of tast results (Reference 1)that show that the compacted fill alon

2.5.6.3.6 Summary of Dams, Dike and Channel Materials and Construction l

In general, the staff finds that the embankment materials and cohstruction have met specifications and thus validate the design assumptions. The staff concludes that the applicant has adequately investigated the materials of construction in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.138. " Laboratory Investigations of Soil for Engineering Analysis and Design of Nuclear Power Plants". The staff agrees that the applicant has established appropriate material properties for the stability analysis of the dams, dike and channels at the SHNPP.

2.5.6.4 Stability of Category I Dams The Category I dass have been designed for a factor of safety of 1.5 under static conditions, 1.2 for simultaneous OBE and 100-year return period floodlevel, and 1.1 for simultaneous SSE and 25 year return period floodlevel.

The slip circle method was used to analyze' the stability of the main dam, the auxiliary dam; the auxiliary separating dike and the channels under static and pseudo-static conditions; the finite element method

' was used for seismic conditions. The abutment areas of the auxiliary dam were analyzed by the sliding wedge method. The material properties used in the analyses are tabulated in FSAR section 2.5.6.5.5.

The static and pseudo-static stability of the dams, dike and channel slopes was determined by the computer program LEASE - 1 that utilizes the simplified Bishop slip circle method. LEASE - 1 is designed to perform stability analysis of slopes by the method of slices. The failure surfaces were assumed to be circular arcs. This is a valid assumption for slopes underlain by fim stratum (Reference 3). The computer program locates the radius that has a minimum factor of safety at each of a specified set of trial centers.

l The factors considered in the static stability analyses include:

(1) Properties of soil on the failure surface at the base of the slice including unit weight, cohesion and angle of internal friction (2) Reservoir water levels and piezometric data.

l (3) The acceleration due to an earthquake was input as an additional l

static load in the pseudo-static analysis.

\\

r7 y+

' The results of the static and pseudo-static analysis for the. main dam, auxiliary dam and auxiliary separating dike are presented in FSAR Figures 2.5.6-18 through 2.5.6-22.

The finite element procedure used in evaluating the seismic stability of the Ca.tegory I dams consisted of the following steps:

a)

Determination of the response of the dam-foundation system to the rock accelerations, including the evaluation of the induced shear stresses at various locations throughout the dam and the foundation material.

b)

Representation of the irregular cycles of shear stresses induced in the dam-foundation system by an equivalent number of uniform cycles of shear stresses.

c)

' Determination of the static stresses existing in the dam-foundation system (prior to the rock accelerations).

d)

Determination of the cyclic ghear stresses required to cause strains greater than 5 X 10-in the material for conditions representative of those existing in the dam-foundation system by means of appropriate ' cyclic load test on representative specimens of the materials or by correlation with data for similar materials e)

Evaluation of the seismic stability of the dams by compari shear stress required to cause strain greater than'5 X 10"gg the with the equivalent shear stresses induced by the rock accelerations (stress ratio).

The procedures used and the results of th~e dynamic analysis of the Category 1 dans is detailed in FSAR Appendix 2D. The minimum values of computed stress ratio for the maximum cross-sections of th'e Category I dams are shown below:

These documents include the staff's evaluation of additional dynamic analyses of the dams and dike. The staff concluded that the static and seismic stability analyses included in the PSAR are acceptable for the design of the main dam, the auxiliary dam and the auxiliary separating dike (CP-SER Supplement No.1, Section 3.6).-

During construction, the source of borrow material for th'e core of the main dam was changed from Area M to Area W.

The applicant performed i

tests on Material W so that the actual properties could be compared.with the design properties. The results are presented in FSAR Section 2.5F.1.9.

They show that Material'W contains more silt and clay than Material M, but the strength tasts show that the actual core material has higher shear strength than was assumed for design. Additionally, the test results show that the shear modulus and cyclic strength are o

[~

within the ranges asr :d in the original design. Based on a review of the information provi._

in the FSAR we have concluded that the core material properties m. for stability analyses are representative of '

the actual core material placed in the main dam.

l The core material for the auxiliary dam and the auxiliary separating dike was obtained from Area I, and the stability analyses for these two-structures were based on Material Z properties. However, during construction the applicant requested approval to increase the moisture i

content to.the range of 1% dry of optimum to 3% wet o.f optimum.

(The originally specified range was within 2% of optimum). The staff reviewed this change during construction and found it acceptable, based on laboratory tests conducted at the higher moisture contents. The results are presented in FSAR Section 2.5F.2.6.2.

The rockfill material placed in the main dam shell was finer than was l

l assumed for design.- The mean particle size of the rockfill ranged from 70 mm to 80 mm whereas the originally planned mean particle size was about 240 mm.

Because the design properties were estimated from published data assuming a mean particle size of 75 mm and because the large scale triaxial tests confirmed the assumed shear strength of the rockfill, we have concluded that the properties of the rockfill in the main dam are appropriately represented by the design values.

The mean particle cize of the random rockfill in the auxiliary dam and auxiliary separating dike was about 20 nun compared with a design 9

em m

e

assumption of 30 nm.. iiowever, the design was based on the conservative assumption that the random rockfill properties would be similar to the fine-grained core materials at low confining pressures and intermediate between core materials and clean granular rockfill (mean particle size cf 30 sm) at higher confining pressures. Based on a review of the applicant's submittals, we have concluded that the properties of the l

random rockfill are appropriately represented by the design values'.

-2.5.6.5' Channel Stabil'ity Analyses During construction, and at the staff' suggestion, the applicant removed some random fill for the ESW intake channel and replaced it by controlled, compacted fill. The staff also requested the applicant to. provide in the FSAR stability analyses of channels. The analysis results, presented in FSAR Figures 2.5.6-23 through 25 show that the minimum factors of safety as identified in SER Section 2.5.6.4 exceed the design values. Furthermore, tha staff believes the calculations are conservative because the strength parameters were developed from tests on soil compacted to a moisture content 4% wet of optimum moisture content whereas the fill was actually placed within 2% of optimum moisture content (Reference 1). Higher moisture contents generally give lower shear strengths and therefore, more cor.servative design values.

The stability analysis gave the following minimum factors of safety.

2.5.6.6 Seepage Control Seepage through the dams is restricted by the impenneable clay cores.

The compacted silty clay corg material that has a permeability 7

coefficient of less than 10'gible amount.cm/sec is expected to reduce seepage through the dams to a negle The filters will permit the core material to remain stable during rapid changes in reservoir levels and during earthquakes.

7 The clay cores extend to sound rock'in the cut-off trenches. The top of

.the rock was cleaned and-slush grouted to provide a seal between the clay core and the rock. This seal'will prevent seepage along the core / rock interface.

l The rock beneath the dams was grouted to depths of about 50 ft. below the base of the main and auxiliary dams. The auxiliary sepa' ating dike r

foundation was difference acro.not grouted because there will be no water level ss the dike. As described in SER Section 2.5.6.2.3, we have concluded that the foundatiors of the main and auxiliary dam were properly grouted. Therefore, we have concluded that seepage through the rock beneath the dams will be minimal and will not affect the safety of I

the dams.

1 The applicant has submitted seepage monitoring data for the main dam l

(Reference 2). The data was developed from the time of reservoir filling'in December,1980. The plots indicate minimal seepage through the. dam (3 gallons per minute average).

2.5.6.7 Instrumentation

. The applicant reports in the FSAR (Section 2.5.6.8) that the instrumentation for dams includes:

- Main dam: settlement monuments, piezometers and seepage monitors

- Auxiliary dam: settlement monuments and piezometers

- Auxiliary separating dike: settlement monuments The applicant has submitted plots showing the settlements and piezometer readings to date (Reference 2). The plots indicate that the dams are functioning as expected in_the design. Settlements recorded to date fcr the two dams ase and dike"ln gligible. The piezometers responded normally to the filling of the reservoirs and are steady at this time.

The applicant has stated (FSAR SEction 1.8) that future monitoring of the dams dike and channels will comply with the provisions of Regulatory l

Guide 1.127 " Inspection of Water Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants, Rev. 1, March 1978.

A separate source of combustion air for each diesel engine is taken from the diesel generator building air intakes through an air filters intake silencers turbo-charger compressor and combustion air aftercooters. The path of tho exhaust gas discharge is through the turbo-charger, cxhaust silencer and exhaust ducting to the outside of the building. This meets tne requirement of General Design Criterion 17, " Electric Pose ~r Systems' with regard to E system independence, redundancy and single failure criteria. l The exhaust system is separate from the air intake system to reduce the possibility of contamination of the intake air uith recirculated exhaust gases. The Location of the air intake structures and design precludes the intake of fire I oxtinguishing agent s and other noxious gases and dust and other deleterious material that would effect diesel generator cperation.k p-l The diesel generator combustion air intake and exhaust system scnforms with Regulatory Guide 1.9, position C.7, as it rotates to diesel engine combustion air intake and exhaust system protective interlocks.

After the steam passes through the high and Low pressure turbines, the main condensers deaerate the condensate and transfer the . rejected Feat to the closed cycle circulating water system /AaYorw/dro Nearby ;6ser-ehich uses a^P to dissipate the rej ected heat to the atmosphere. The condensate is reheated and returned as .c4mm Ars. a f oed wa t e r t o t.h e The entire system is designed for the maximum expected energy from the nuclear steam supply system. A turbine bypass system is provided to discharge directly to the condenser up to 35% of the main steam flok around the turbine during transient conditions.
