because of their involvement in this and other 100 proceedings. l 1-1.d. Identify which of those persons identified in b. above you articipate will appear voluntarily and which under subpoena.

ANSWER: Intervenors anticipate that he U MS scientists will appear /cluntarily at the request of the **C Staff, as recested by the ASLB. If the Staff does not make these USGS scientists available or if the USGS seeks to assian the'r to duties which will be in conflict with their ability to appear at the Mrin, Intervenors will subpoena then to appear as hostile witnesses. If the NRC ::es not call Dr. Trifunac during the hearings, then Intervenors will subcoena him.

Intervenors anticipate that the Licensee will submit testinony from its consulta ts bit, "cEvilly snd Jahns, which Intervenors .vould be able to tross-eucire on.

1 i-1 frr the ACRS subcommittee and full comittee eetings regarding the Vallecitos site. '!e expect the USGS scientists and Dr. Trifunac to testify as to the com-pleteress and accu %cy of the statements nede in those documents.

1-3. What do you recommend as the proper design basis for surface displacenent at the site?

o.';SWER: Intervenors recommend the r. coper design basis for sur' ace displacement as 2.5 neters or more, on a strand of the Verona Thrust Fault ZorIe directly be-neath the GETR.

1 a. What do you recommend as the ;rc;,er design basis for vibratory ground motion at the site?

ANSWER: Intervenors recommend that the proper design basis for vibratory creand notion at the site be greater than 1.15 g horizontal and greater than 1.74 g vertical.

1-5 ,Nhat do you recomend as the troper design bases for the combined ef'ects of surf ace displacement and vibratory ground motion? Include in this respo se the time secuence of these events that you postulate.

A*:SWER: Intervenors recor. mend that the 2.5 meters of surf ace displacement beneath the GER will occur simultaneously with the horizontal and vertical accelerations in excess of 1.15 g horizontal and 1.74 g vertical.

1-6. State all bases, calculations, and references used (for example, trench logs, maps, well data, published works, etc.) or that you intend to use during this proceedings, for supporting the positions stated in response to Interroga-tories 1-3,1-4, and 1-5, as appropriate. Specify the interrogatory response number which the individuals sources were used for. For calculations furnished, include, for exanole, the amount and direction of surface offset, the maximum vibratory .

ground motion,and the probability associated with the ground moticn that you assume.

ANSWE.R: Because the GETR is located in the Verona Thrust Fault Zone, with thrust l faults disc 3vered since 1977 on both sides of and beneath the reactor Intervenors

1 1

1 c* -j tha t the seisivic and geolegic design 'sestfor the GL TR incluce a sLr- I4 face rupture displacenent of 2.5 meters mininum with larger displacer.ents possible 1 l

and si.multaneous peak ground accelerations (frce field instrumeatal) of greater than 1.74 g vertical and greater than 1.15 g' horizontal. The reasons, bases, calculations, and references used for these opinions are discussed in detail in the NRC Staff SER inputs and the USG5 reports penduced in 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980 in this pecceeding. Furthermore, the 2.5 meters surface rupture and the 1.15 g horizontal accelerations are based on the data set and reports by the USGS and other scientists regarding the San Fernando Earthquake of February 1371. The 1.7a g vertical value is based on the data set and analyses and reports regarding the Imperial Valley Earthquake of October 1979. The NRC Staff Geosciences Branch is very familiar with the data sets and reports and analyses regarding both of those earthquakes because of the extensive amounts of referencing of them done in the NRC proceedings before ASLBs and I; peals Boards in the Diablo raryon and Ten ?nofre Nuclear React?r Site Licensi g ?roceedirgs in Califcrnia. Since she time of the GETR shutd wn, there have been many meetings and hearings involving the f,RC Geosciences Branch and various parameters and earthquakes that are rele-vant at the GETR site.

The 2.5 meter surface rupture at the GETR site is based on a comparison with the San Fernando earthquake of 1971, which was on a thrust fault of similar rupture length to the mapped Verona Fault. The surface rupture during the futare Vallecitos carthquake would be simultaneous with the peak ground acceleratiSos, both vertical and horizontal. The San Fernando quake ("agnitude 6.5) caused 2.4 meters of sur-face rupture for 12 kilometers, with a peak acceleration of 1.15 g horizontal at the Pacoima Dam.

Another Magnitude 6.5 quake struck California on October 15, 1979 in the Imperial Valley. (Hereinaf ter referred to as IV 79.) Prior to that quake, there

~

was very little data on near field ground acceleration measurements. The IV 79 quake was the best instrumented quake in history and it may become one of the most J

IV 79 quake. The peak ground ' acceleration there was 1.74 g vertical.

ed '

accelerations exceed / horizontal ones, contrary to basic assum'.tions  ; made by-the~

NRC Staff in the establishment of seismic design criteria for nuclear raaetors in the United States. Corroboration of this phenomenon was available af ter the June 1980 Victoria quake in Baja California which recorded several ground accel-erations exceeding 1.0 g, with' verticals exceeding horizontals.

4 In January 1980, the Vallecitos Nuclear Center was shaken by earthcuakes in the Livermore Valley, adjacent to Vallecitos Valley, That cue ke was s trong ,

confirnation of the natural seismic phenomena of seismic focusing or directivity ,

hich can cause amplification of groundmotions in the direction of seismic rupture propagation. This phenomena can contribute to higner ground accelera-tions at the GETR site during a future quake.

In August 1978, an earthquake offshore from Santa Barbara, California also confirmed the phenomena of seismic focusing or directivity. In August 1979, the Calaveras Fault was the source of a Magnitude 5.9 quake now known as the Coyote Lake quake. That quake shook all of Northern California, and is one of several which have occurred along the Calaveras Fault since the shutdown of"the GETR by the Commission's Show Cause Order. This recent seismicity demons trates that the current activity and capable nature of the Calaveras Fault Zone. The Calaveras Fault Zone is capable of a Magnitude 7.5 quake at ang time and the

~

probability of that quake occuring is higher now than it has been since the 19th Century when the Calaveras experienced several major quakes. A major quake is overdue on the Calaveras. It is currently in a state of seismic gap. The next

NRC 1UESTION =2: RE: COM'4ISS10N ISSUE CJMBER 2.

Whether the design of GETR structures, systems and components important to safety requires modification considering the seismic design bases determined in issue (1) above, and, if so, whether any codifica tir.n(s) can be made so that GETR structures, systems and cor.penents imocetant to safety can remain functional in light of the design bases determined in issue (1) above.

2-1. a. Upon what person or persons do you rely tc subs:Sntiate your care on Issue 2?

ANSWER: The Intervenors' case on Issue 2 is substantiated by the professional

pinions of several engineers. These include three Calif:rnia licensed structural '

engineers whose names are Gary Gray, Jim Caid 3rd Jchn Puther'ord. In addition, u til i ze .

we will/ analyses provided by Dr. Davic Erillincer, Chair of the Statistics

e;antment at the University of Califerr.;a, Ber.e'ey, Serbeley, CA M720.

2-1.b. Identify which of the persons identified in a. je; intend to call as witness in this proceeding.

A':Sv:ER: Intervencrs intend to introduce as witnesses in this proceeding 'fessrs.

Rutherford and Gray and Dr. Brillinger.

Unfortunately schedule conflicts prevent the personal appearance of Mr.

Dutherford at the hearings. Because we intend to intraduce written testimony fro i "r. Rutherford and he will be unable to personally appear at the hearings due to a previous cornitment to present a technical paper at a conference in Stockholm, Sweden on June 5,1981 (and he is scheduled '.o leave the c:untry prior to this date), Intervenors are prepared to make available Mr. Rutherford for cross-examination by deposition. Intervenors will be amenable to attempting to provide Mr. Rutherford's testimony ahead of the deadline for filing written testi-mcny in order to facilitate such examination.

C Intervenors reserve the right to introiuce testimony by Mr. Jim Caid, althcagh at pre'sent it is not our intent. ion to do so. We will advise all parties to the proceeding of our intention as soon as a final determination is made.

2-1.c. Provide the addresses and educational and professional cualifications of I any persons named above.

i APSWER: Dr. David R. Brtilinger, Chairman, Statistics. Deaartment, University of I California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720. A copy of Dr. Brillinger's biogriphy (two pages), listing of professional cornittee work and list of publications (five page's) are attached hereto and incorporated as a part of '.his answer.

Mr. Gary Gray is a licensed architect and a licensed structural engineer with l a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley (1953) and a M.S. in Civil Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Techrology (1957).

He is a member of the American Institute of Architects, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Consulting Engir.cers Association of Califcenia, and the Structural Engineers Association of Northern California. His address is 2001 "erced Street, Berkeley, CA 94707.

Mr. Jim Caid is a licensed civil and structural engineer who lives ar.d ',torks in California. More information will be provided regarding Mr. Caid if he is to be made available as a witness.

Mr. John Rutherford has been a licensed civil and structural engineer in tre State of California since 1958. He received his M.S. in Structural Engineering from the California Institute of Technology and his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Lehigh University.' Mr. Rutherford's address is 1141 Chestnut Street, San Francisco, CA 94109.

Mr. Rutherford has been professionally involved in hundreds of geologic inves-tigations as a structural engineer. He is experienced in seismic risk evaluations in the design and modification of structures subject to earthquake stres'ses. He is knowledgeable in the state of the art in both geological fault investigations and earthquake resistant design. He is experienced in analyses of soils investi-

gations, f%nt ation designs, soil-structure interact 3cn an& lyses and the prep-aration of geologic hazards reports.

2-1.d. Indicate which of the persons identified in b. above that ycu anticipate will appear voluntarily and which under subpoena.

ANSWER: We anticipate that all of the persons listed in 2-1.b. above will appear voluntarily as witnesses for either consolidated Intervences Congressmen Dellums, Burton and Burton or consolidateo Inter <enors Friencs of the Earth and Ms. Earbara .

  • Shockley or both groups.

2-2 Provide summaries of the views, positions, or prcposed testinony on Issue 2 of all persons named in response to Interrocatory .' umber 2-1, that you intend to present during this proceeding.

' 'S.ii ? : Intervenors anticipate that their structural engineerina experts will testify '. hat because of the possibility of surface rupture directly beneath the reactor tha NF.C and the Licensee of the GETR cannot guarantee that the public health'and safety will be protected fc11owing a fu ure earthcuake on the Caiave-as or Verona Fault Zones because the NRC and the Licensee ;strot prove or guarar, tee that there will be no structural damages to the GE Test Reactor during and fol-icwing that future Vallecitos Earthquake on the Calaveras or Verona Fault Zores.

That because the GETR and the Vallecitos Nuclear Center are located directly on top of an active capable thrust fault zone and because the GETR faces the possi-bility of surface rupture directly beneath the structure, accompanied by severe j seismic shai:ing, Intervenors will attempt to establish that there are no possible design nodifications to the GETR which would be adequate to protect the public l

r health and safety and, therefore, that the GiTR shculd remain shutdown as is -

currently the case and has been since October 1977.

Dr. Brillinger will testify that the use of probabiiity analysis should not be incorporated in the Safety Evaluation of the GETR without suitable carg. ins of I

error being included. And that the assumptions used in developing input factors for the probability equation are debatable and must be considered in greater depth. ~

-:D-That, in turn, the conclusions reached by the probability analysis cannot be considered to have been established. And that as a result the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board should not utilize this analysis in reaching its determination as to whether it is safe to restart and continue to operate the GETR.

2-3 Which specific GETR structJres, systems and components important to safety require desigr. .nodification consjdering the seismic and design bases that you postulate in re:ponse to Interrogatories 1-3,1-4, and 1-5. In each case indicate the nature, extent and the types of nodifications that you recomand.

ANSWER: Considering the seismic and design bases that Intereenors described in detail in response to Staff Interrogatories 1-3,1-4, and 1-5, the Intervenors contend that no modifications to the SETR would be adequate to protect the public health and safety and therefore that the GETR should renain shutdown as it was ordered by the NRC in October 1977.

2-4 State the bases, calculations and references used fcr :unceting the posi-tions specified in response to Interrogatory 2-3 as to the folic ting:

a. Why each structure, system and component specified is incertant tc plant safety;
b. Why each structure, system and component specified needs modification.

ANSWER: This interrogatory asks the Intervenors to coment on the proposed modifications for the GETR structu es, systems and comconents specified by the NRC and the Licensee. However, considering the seis.aic and design bases that Intervenors described in detail in response to Staff Interrugatories 1-3,1-4, and the 1-5, and the explanations presented in 2-1,2-2, and 2-3, the Intervenors contend that no modifications are appropriate or adequate to protect the public.

2-5.a.

3 it jour position, or do you anticipate 7;at it will be year pos' tion at the . earing, that the modifications specified in response to Interrogatory 2-3 can be made so that GETR structures, systems and components important to safety can remain functional in light of the design bases determined in issue 1;

b. If the answer to a. is no, state the specific bases, calculations, and references which support this conclusion.

ANSWER: Intervenors 'did not specify any codifications in response to Interrog-atory 2-3 because it is the Intervenors' position that the GETR structures, systems and components necessary to protect the public health and safety car. net be guarar. teed to remain functional during and following surface rupture, seismic shaking, and vertical and horizontal ground accelerations at the GETR site.

NRC QUESTION 43: RE: COMMISSION ISSUE NUMBER 3.

Whether activities under Operating License No. TR-1 should continue to :e susoended c'ending resolution of the foregoing.

3-1.a. Upon what person or persens do you rely to substantiate jour case on Cor.ission !ssue Number 3?

b. Identify which of the persons identified in a. you intend to call as witnesses in this proceeding,
c. Provide the addresses and educational and professional qualifications of any persons naned above.
d. Indicate which of the persons identified in b. above that you anticipate will appear voluntarily and which under subpoena. .

ANSWER: It is the position of the Intervenors that activities under OL # TR-1 should continue to be suspended because of reasons described in detail above.

Intervenors' responses to 3-1.a. b, c and d incorporate Intervenors' responses to 1.la, b, c and d and 2.1.a, b, c, and d above.

3-1.a. J. Gl enn Barlow 3-1.b. Intervenors intend to call Glenn Barlow as a witness in this proceeding.

3-1.c. Mr. Barlow's address is Glenn Barlew, Friends of the Earth,124 Spear St. , San Francisco, CA 94105

0 Mr. Barlow attended Yale University and received a degree in Communications from the University of California at San Diego.

Mr. Barlow worked for s u eral years as environmental investigative reporter and nuclear documentary producer with the Pacifica' FM Radio Network.

Mr. Barlow is currently a Research Consultant for the Intervenors.

Mr. Barlow is particularly qualified in relation to the issues in this Proceeding because he has been a Communications expert for the Intervenors in regard to the GETR since 1976. Glenn Barlow has reviewed and anlyzed all of the communications between the NRC staff and the Licensee re the GETR and the Vallecitos Nuclear Center. Mr. Barlow has attended the meetings held in California between the NRC staff and the Licensee since 1977.

Mr. Earlow participated, as a Representative of the Intervenors, dJring the field trip's in 1977,1978 and 1979 in visits to the trenches and other Geoscience Investigations that were conducted for these Froceedings.

Mr. Barlow is the Comunica icns expert for the Intsrvencrs .;ho witnessed the oral and verbal communications (durina these field trics and meetings) between the various scientists and staffpersons from the NRC staff, the USGS, and the Licensee and their consultants.

3-1.d. Mr. Barlow will appear voluntarily.

3-2. Provide summaries of the views, positions, or proposed testimony on Conmission Issue Number 3 of all persons names in response to Interro-gatory No. 3-1, that you intend to present during this proceeding.

ANSWER: Intervenors' responses to 3-2 incorporate Intervenors' responses to

1. 2, 1. 3, 1. 4, 1. 5, and 1. 6 and 2. 2, 2. 3, 2. 4 and 2. 5.

3-2. A sunmary of Mr. Barlow's proposed testimony on Commission Issue Number 3 is that activities under Operating License "o TR-1 should continue to be suspended.

Include copies of all references, or make available for Staff inspection and copying, all references.

AN5WER: Intervenors' responses to 3.3 incorporates the Intervenors' responses to all of the Interrogatories in this :.rrent set.

3-3. Activities under Oper ating License No. T:.-l should :entinue to be susper.ded.

(1 ) Because of the possibility of surface r;;ture beneath the GETR; (2) Because of the large horizontal and vertical accelerations expected during future quakes on the Verona and Calaveras Fault Zones; (3) Because the GETR was not designed for surface rupture and large ground accel . era tions ;

(4) Because a major quake (M7.5) could strike the Calaveras Fault at any

, time and be accompanied by sympathetic ground rotions and surface rupture on the Verona Fault Zone; (5) Because no modifications would be adequate to protect the public health and safety.
