This report concerns the adequacy of the containment st ructures and conponents, reactor piping and roector Internals for the Diablo Canyon Site Nuclear Plant. for which application for a const ruction permit and operating license has br:en made to the 't. S. Atomic Energy Cornission (Docket No. 50-275) by the Pacif ic Gas and Elect ric Compcny. The facility is to be located in San Luis Obispo County. Ca li f o rn i t. . 12 miles west southwest of the city of San 4
LLis Obispo, and adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and Oleblo Ccnyon Creek. The ;
site is about 1C0 miles south of $an Francisco end 150 niles northwest of ;
Les 'ngeles.
Specifically this report is concerned with the evaluetion of the dcsign criteria that determine the ability of the containment system. piping and rocctor Internels to withstand a design earthquale acting simultaneously with other applicchie loads for.-Ing the basis of the design. Tbc facility also is to be designed to withstand a naximum earthquake sinu!(ancausly with other applicable loads to the extent of insuring safe stutdown and containment. This re po rt is based on Informotlen and criteria set forth in the preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR) and supploncnts thereto as listed et the end of tPIs report.

The reactor internals are to be designed for combined earthquake, blow down loadings and other applicable loadings.
C0KMENTS ON 90EQUACY OF OESIGN Seismic Design For this f acility the containment design is to be made for two eartnquaket e,orresponding to maximum horizontal ground accelerat ions For the maximum of 0.209 (Earthqu'ake 0) and 0.159 (Earthquake 8) .
earthquake loading the two earthquakes are characterized by horlzontal c i t ed, namely 0.409 and ground accelerat icns of twlce the values just 0.309. Spectra corresponding to these earthquakes are presented as Figs. 2-11 through 2-14 of the PSAR and again in Supplement No. 3 beginning on page 22, along with an envelope of the spectra for the no-loss-of funct ion condit ion (F ig. Ill . A.12-5, Supplenent 3). We concur with the respon,se spect ra for the earthquakes when they are used in t he f ollowing manne r.
Since the response spect rum values for Earthquake 0 give values control that cont rol for high f requencies, and for Earthquake B, values that for Intermediate and low f requencies, both earthquakes must be uf ed and the maximum response in either must be considered to apply to the design This is permissible or saf e shut-down of single degree of f reedom elements.
in view of the fact that Earthquake B gives response values for low and Intermediate frequencies that lie above the response spect rum values f rom Hence this TID 7024 when normallred to an accelerat ion of 0.409 .
earthquake may be cons idered to correspond to a 0.409 earthquake for low and intermediate frequencies.
However, for saf e shut-down of mult i-degree-of-f reedom systems, we take the position that the combined.or envelope spectrum for the two earthquakes must be used in order to aveld a possible deficiency in the provis ion for saf e shut-down. This envelope 5 pect rum is consistent with an El Ce,nt ro type response spect rum for a maximum gro9nd accelerat ,lon of 0.409 Vertical acceleration values in all cases will be taken as two-thirds the corresponding maximum horizontal ground acceleration, and the ef fects of

borizontal cnd vert ical earthquche loadings will be corbined, and cons idered to cc: simaltaneously. In addit ion in the cicstic analysis, the usual f ract ional increase in s t ress for si. ort term loading will not be us d. We concur in these criteria.
The damping values to be used in the design are giv n on page 2-29 (revised 7-31-67) of the PSAR and w concur with the values given therein,
'!ith regard to the method of analysis of the con' ainment st ructure, it is noted on page 2-29 of the FSAR that all modes havir g r period greater t han 0.03 secs . will be included in the analysis and tF.t in addition for components or st ructures having multiple degrecs of f cedon, all significant modes, and in no case less than 3 modes, will be cor sidered. It is furthcr stated thct for single degree of f rccdon systems, the fundamental node of vibration will be used in the analysis. Our interpretation of th:se statenents is tlat, for a single degree of f reedom system, no ca t t c r wl c t Rhc period, whether it is abcvc or below 0.08 secs, the appropriate period and spect ral accelerat ion will be employed in the des ign, and f urther the, for nultiple degree of f reedom syst .rs all ' des will be considered. On the bas is of this Interpretat ion, as Interpreted in the second paragraph of this section, we concur with the approach.

The proposed approach appears acceptable to us.
