SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETING WITH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDIS0N -
SITE SPECIFIC EARTHQUAKE PROGRAM On October 6, 1978, the NRC staff met with its consultants and representativos of Southern California Edison Company (SCE)(attendees listed in Enclosure 1) to d1scuss technical questions regarding the adequacy of the site specific earthquake model (SSEM)for San Onofre Unit 1.
In a pre-meeting caucus, the staff discussed with its consul-tants the major NRC objectives for the SSEM as it relates to licensing use and summarized the major technical issues that required additional study before any staff position could be established. Although the.
staf f did not expect the SSEM to represent a complete resolution of the near-field problem from a scientific viewpoint, three major areas were identified as requiring additional resolution prior to any meaningful decision of the SSEM's adequacy. These areas are the integration and mesh size, slip functions, and sensitivity and appropriateness of certain parameters.
After this caucus, the meeting with the licensee began with a summary of the issues identified by the staff and its consultants. The licensee indi-cated its major objectives for the meeting and proceded with a technical presentation of its proposed program for resolution and progress to date on that program. This presentation is summarized in the information attached (Enclosure 2). The licensee also presented an alternate program aimed at resolving the issues raised by the staff and its consultants through additional verification studies (Enclosure 3). After these dis-cussions, the staff and its consultants caucussed to develop its position on the required technical studies and how they would be used to reach a decision on SSEM for San Onofre Unit 1.
The staff indicated to the licensee a two phase effort for resolving the SSEM for San Onofre Unit 1; a first phase to resolve the three major issues identified above followed by a preliminary staff decision on the SSEM and appropriate site specific spectra for San Onofre Unit 1, and a second phase to confirm the SSEM's adequacy and staff judgments through
-- ~
D. G. Eisenhut October 16, 1978 additional verification studies. While the staff's need for additional technical studies paralleled that proposed by the licensee in Enclosures 2 and 3, several important changes in scope and direction were identified.
After these issues were discussed, the licensee indicated its preference to document its understanding of the studies identified by the staff and its program to rasolve the issues identified. The staff would then indicate agreement or disagreement with this program. The schedule for the s.v phase effort, staff review of results and staff review of conclusions were discussed as it related to the Systematic Evaluation Program. The staff indicated its belief that these issues could be resolved on a schedule consistent with that set forth r other plants in the SEP.
