Dear Jim:
Last sumer in a discussion on the USGS's role in the Diablo Canyon Seismic License Condition we agreed,that before we add tasks to our contract for the Diablo Canyon review, to discuss the USGS's role.
I tried to reach you and Ted, but I missed you both before you went on international travel. We are beginning the modification of the USGS contract to add the two tasks which are sumarized on the enclosed Project Identification Sumary (PID) sheets. These PID sheets briefly outline what we would like the USGS to advise us on in the License Condition.
Once these sheets are signed and approved by H. Denton, we will be more or less locked into the funding levels indicated. What we need to know as soon as possible is if these funding levels are reasonable from the USGS's point of view.
As far as the actual work to be performed, we have flexibility and we will not lock in to the actual wording until the contract negotiations.
We would like to meet with the USGS to discuss the contract during early
' October. We are planning to have these tasks in place by January 1, 1985.
Sincerel,

One of the conditions. imposed by the Commissioners on the Diablo#'anyon C
operating license required.that the Licensee (PG&E) revalidate the ground motion at the site. The U. S. Geological Survey is to perform analysis of the near field strong ground motion data base to provide the NRC staff with j
the ability to make an estimate of the Diablo Canyon ground motion independent of the licensee's work.

. WORK REQUIREMENTS (DESCRIBE WHAT IS TO BE PERFORMED)
The USGS will-$ssist,the staff by accomplishing the fol. lowing:
Updatethestronggroundmotiondathbasetoincludeasmuchaspossibledata from distances less than.about 50 kilometers.
- 2. Perform both linear and non-linear regression analysis of the data base.to develop
- attenuation equations for peak acceleration, peak velocity and spectral values for both horizontal and vertical components of ground motion. 3. Assess which parameters
.such as focal mechanism,embedment, site geology, topography, etc.,
significantly influence the ground motion. 4.' Make provisions in the predictive equations for accounting for significant parameters. 5. Prepare draft and final reports in which the data, the analysis technion and the results of the studies are presented in detail. 6. Attend meetings
~~
in Bethesda, MD CA and elsewhere, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, C4i" San Luis Obispo,
~

to present the status of research to the staff, ACRS, Commission and to participate in the review of Licensee's efforts in this area.
