Dear Ms. Hiatt:
This letter responds to the "Petition for Innediate Action to Relieve Undue Risk Posed by the Inadequate Seismic Design of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant" filed by you on January 22, 1988, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206. The petition alleged the following seismic inadequacies in the design of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP):
1.
The earthquake of January 31, 1986, at Chardon, Ohio, and the historic seismicity near the PNPP could be associated with a tectonic structure (fault) that has been revealed by magnetic data.
2.
This tectonic structure is capable of an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5 or greater.
3.
The present safe-shutdown earthquake (magnitude of 5.310.5) does not provide the margin of safety required.
4.
The licensees are, therefore, in violation of regulations promulgated under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reaulations (10 CFR) Part 50, i
Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2, End 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, Parts IV, V, and VI.
The petition requests an immediate suspension of the operating license (0L) for PNPP Unit 1 and the construction permit (CP) for PNPP Unit 2.
It further requests that additional geologic and geophysical studies be conducted and appropriate Corrective action Considered by the licensees and an ajudicatory hearing be held to evaluate the effectiveness of those corrective actions.
On March 2,1988, I sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of the petition and declined to take any immediate action.
I also indicated that a fonnal decision would be issued in the reasonably near future.
