THRU:

i James P. Knight, Assistant Director for Components & Structures Engineering, Di FROM:

Leon Reiter, Acting Chief Geosciences Branch, DE

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION REVIEW - GE0 LOGY AND SEISMOLOGY Plant Name:

Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 (BVPS 2)

Applicant:

DuquesneLightCo.(DLC)

Licensing Stage: OL Responsible Branch: LB-3, M. Leg, LPM Review Status: SER

. Docket No.: 50-412 Documents under Review: Seismic Design Response Spectra and Beaver Valley FSAR During a conference call on July 13, 1984 withthe' applicant (DLC)the (c.

following subjects were discussed:

a)

The procedures followed to compute the displacement amplification factors shown in Table 2-1, Seismic Design Response Spectra Report, Stone & Webster Engineering Corp. (SWEC).

b)

The manner in which the BVPs soil shear wave profile was used in the soil amplification study.

Thestaffnotedthatthegeneralizedshearwavevelocityprofile(SWEC Report, Figure 6-2) was representative of the " upper bound" velocities of the soil as determined by the 1977 survey (SWEC Report Figure 6-1).

As a result the staff recommended that the SHAKE analysis which resulted inthespectrashowninFigure7-6(SWECReport)berepeatedusingthe

" lower bound" soil properties of the BVPS site.

The applicant agreed to address the problems mentioned and to elaborate on the methodology used to obtain the reported results.

The staff recommends that the SWEC Seismic Design Response Spectra i

Report be expanded to include the following:

\\

1.

Document the procedure used to obtain the displacement amplification factors listed in Table 2-1, 2.

Expand the Soil Response Analysis (Section 7) to incidue a comparison of response spectra using the upper limits and lower limits of the shear wave velocities of the densified scil profile (Figure 6-1, 1977 survey, dashed lines) at foundation level of the Containment Building.
