Rancho Seco As a result of California Div.
Alterman, Rothman of ' lines and Geology interest in soil Jynamic calculations folicwing 5 plant shutdown and controlling Earthquake, (DOR) DL request GB to ask licensee to reassess adequacy of program.
GSB has recuested progra thru OL and has partially (Geology only) reviewed proposed program of licensee. Have received CDMG review also. Review initial on 3/1/81
- 2. (13*) Maine Yankee As a result of restart commission Reiter, Jackson meeting 5/79 following 5 plant shutdo.
and nearby earthquake, OL make commit' ments to reassess. Maine Yankee adequacy in 2 years.
In anticipation G5B initiated minimal regional review by Los Alamos Labs (LASL).
Report expected 10/15/80. Will need in-house reso lution.
- 3. (6*)
Systematic Evaluation Progran GSB completed first phases of Seismic (SEP) hazard methodology in 6/80. New Reiter, VcMullen information received, updating and fi-report was anticipated complete on 1/.
now more likely 4-5/81.
Each licenset is also anticipated to submit tneir own methodology which will have to be reviewed either on own merits or compared. Show cuase orders, 2.206 e' are anticipated.
Ocerating License Review i. (7*) Can Onofre 2 & 3 Complete OL review and SER issue, Getter, Cardone Acthman extenstve issues relating to c3pabilit J3cason af nearby fault (2 km away) and near-f ield.;round motion f aulting. Complit l

- 2. (3*) Sumer OL review.
3iffical t issues Sobel (Part time 2 day / week relating to reservoir induced starting 11/1/80), Reiter earthquakes. Have h ad thousands Los Alamos-1 reviewer of earthquake in i r +:iate CRES - A. *'archy P3rt time loan proximity to plant.
'ue to lack of NRC seismologists, contracted with L ASL rc assistance from RES. Although ttley have carried the review forward, tPey have never prepared an SER, therefore in-house branch attention needed now through December. P. Sobel ( seis. ologist )
on leave until 1/81 will return cart time on 1J/1/80 to assist finalize SER.
Issue is difficult because of :
- 1. Close-in earthquake due to reserv an issue which has never been addres-before by NRC. 2. Location of the Charleston EQ of 1886 - the USGS owe 3 us a position on the itcact of their current research, y
Schedale:
SER issuance by G5B 12/2C to 1/15/81
- ACRS Subcarr ittee 3/15/E ACRS full comittee 4/5/8 Interrogatories 5/5/81 Hearing 7/81
- 0r. Okrent is Chairman of Subcomittee and he had a dissenting opinion of the adequacy of the seismic design ("g" value) at CP stage. The combination of the reservoir earthquakes, Charleston earthquake stadies, and Okrent's previous dissent will lead to a dif ficult ACRS and hearings.
- 3. (9* ) 50 HGS 1 Within the structure of the SEP Reiter orogram, SONGS 1 has been treated as a separate case and has submitted an extens ive ""odeling Study" f or nea f ield ground otion.
- his review is coupled to SONGS 2 & 3 review and har,
'Decoce an issue in the Diablo Canyon nearing.
(CDMG) has requested a similar study for D.C.).
This reviet is further co plicated by extensive petitions on this site whicn appear t netA attention to seis ology in respc Demand seems to indicate need ASAP to Pespond to petition, i.e. 10/1/ 80.
Schedule: Demanded ASAP, but unable to devote any effort unti1 af ter SONG 2 & 3 resolved.
. 4. (10*) Washington Nuclear 2 Although this review is not due to be Justus, Ki-ball, Reiter completed until 9/81, extensive early effort has been required due to disco'.
of " capable f aults" at nearby site for new Puget Power site, "Skagit at Hanford." Cept. of Energy attention through H. Denton, corbined with early review of Puget's New site and the lar number of f acilities in the area has prompted early significant attention which will continue.
Field trip with USGS scheduled on 10/1 17/81.
Follow-up effort will be neede to initiate new studies, potential stop work orders, liasion with NMSS and Dept. Energy. Although low onuec5 priority list, it has been elevated bj realities".
