St'8 JECT:
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1985, ON THE STATUS OF THE EXPANDED SAFETY SYSTEM FACILITY On Friday, September 20, 1985, a meeting was held at NRR Headquarters, Bethesda, Maryland, to discuss the status of the Expanded Safety System Facility (ESSF) planned by GPU Nuclear (the licensee) for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. This meeting was held at the request of the licensee. Attachment 1 is the list of the individuals attending the meeting. Attachment 2 is a copy of the material presented by the licensee at this meeting. The following is a sumary of the significant items discussed and the actions taken or proposed.
The ESSF was preposed to be built at Oyster Creek by the licensee in its letter of March 11, 1985.
In that letter, the licensee described the ESSF and stated that the ESSF would enhance the safety capabilities of Oyster Creek, improve its overall operational capability and reliability and help enFore that Oyster Creek can achieve its expected full licensed lifetime.
The licensee requested the staff's comments on the ESSF, including design criteria, use of surplus equipment and implementation as not involving an unreviewed safety question under 10 CFR 50.59.
The staff responded in its letter of April 16, 1985. The ESSF is not required by the staff.
In its letter of March 11, 1985, the licensee stated that it intended to keep the staff up-to-date on the progress of the ESSF. This first meeting on the status of the ESSF is to provide information on the progress of the ESSF since the licensee's letter of March 11, 1985, and to allow the staff to make any comments on the material preserted by the licensee at the meeting.
This meetino is to discuss the design of the foundation of the ESSF.
The licensee will have a two-phased approach to the construction of the ESSF building. Phase I is a pile supported fcundation supporting a concrete mat and steel frame superstructure with metal siding.
Phase II is pouring cencrete walls for the building.
The licensee has made 16 horings (shown in Attachment 2) in the area where M-o lldg the building will be constructed.
The generalized subsurface profile of the subsoil which was drawn from these borings is in Attachment 2.
The loose to medium dense sand fill, in the drawing showing the profile, came fromfillingintheholesexcavatedforconstructionoftheReactnrandpNoM Turbine Buildings.

The licensee developed criteria for evaluating different designs for the foundations. The reference to licensability in the table of criteria for foundation evaluation is not a reference to requirements of the staff to license the building.
It is referring to what the licensee must address under 10 CFR 50.59.
The list of foundatier alternatives considered by the licensee is included in Attachment 2.
The board of geotechnical consultants used by the licensee in its evaluation of foundation alternatives is also included.
The licensee's conclusion from its evaluation is that the foundation should contain piles with vibroflotation to compact the soil. This design offers the least impact on the existing plant and this design is common for nuclear power plants.
A generalized subsurface profile of the subsoil with the piles shown in the soil is in Attachment 2.
The dynamic response analysis, desipr loads, and foundation design were then discussed by the licensee.
The next effort by the licensee is pile load testing at the site for the ESSF. This is to verify pile design capacities and results of the analytical design work. The objectives, test plan, scope of testing and construction secuence of the testing were discussed by the licensee.
The licensee discussed the effect of vibroflotation of the soil near the Reactor Building for the construction of the ESSF on the existing' soil pressure on the walls of building the Reactor Building. The pile tests which include tests of the vibroflotation of the soil should show this effect.
The licensee is considering at this time a zone of isolation--uncompacted soil--between the Reactor Building and the area of vibroflotation of soil for the ESSF.
The licensee summarized its presentation in this meeting for Messrs. D.
Crutchfield and J. Zvolinski of the staff. The licensee explained that the purpose for the meeting was to keep the staff apprised of accomplishments on the ESSF and provide a means to receive comments from the staff. The differences between the ESSF described in the licensee's letter of March 11, 1985, and that described in this neeting were presented. They are the following: there will be two-phase or step approach to the construction of the ESSF, the ESSF will be a tyc-story building without the control room i
ventilation equipment and not a three-story building with the control room ventilation and the second phase ray not be completed. The design allows l
for adding the third floor and contrcl rcom ventilation equipment later if it is needed. The foundation will be desioned to be able to accommodate this l
and the poured concrete walls of the second phase. The licensee stated that Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC) is designing and constructing the building.
The SVEC ouality assurance progrem will be used for the
construction of the building. This program is consistent with programs for safety systems at nuclear power plants where one cannot go back 'to verify
~
work that has been done. The licensee has reviewed and approved the SWEC quality assurance program.
