Gus C. Lainas, AD-BWR: DBL

SUBJECT:

CONGRESSIONAL TELEPHONE CALL - EARTHQUAKE AT PERRY A conference call was held on Monday, February 3, 1986, with Congressmen Eckart and Siberling and staff assistant Richard Udell, Region III, IE (Jordan), NRR (Lainas, Reiter, Stefano), and PA (Fouchard). The purpose.

of the call was to brief the Congressmen on the results of the augmented investigation and answer previously provided questions to Region III.

Carl Paperiello, Region III, described the licensee's activities and the results of the augmented investigation. Mainly that there was no damage to the safety-related systems and some movement in the small diameter pipes in non-safety systems. A leaky flange was discovered in a non-safety related water heater in the radwaste treatment building.

Hairline cracking of some structures was identified but it could not 1

be established whether they existed prior to the earthquake.

Some of the more significant specifics addressed during the call are as follows:

1.

Were seismic design limits exceeded?

It was explained that there were indications based on installed instrumentation that for certain frequencies the 0BE and possibly tha SSE were exceeded, however, the definition of exceedance is complex and has to be verified through further evaluation of plant instrumentation and recorded data. Preliminary analyses showed that design seismic accelleration values were exceeded at frequencies above 15 to 20 hZ but for very short times (about one second).

As to whether this did mean that the design base was exceeded should be left to further evaluation of the instrumentation l

data.

1 2.

What actions would be required by the NRC if design limits were i

exceeded, e.g., re-inspection, repeat of pre-operational testing?

I Theextentofeitherre-inspectionandadditionalpre-opefafional testing would depend on the interpretation M the instrument data and the applicant's damage assessment.

1 8605300675 860321 PDR FOIA HIATT86-91 PDR f,

W

,.V-pgg 3 gp, A reeting with the NRC is scheduled at the site en Friday, February 7, 1986 at which time the licensee will present his views on both items and damage assessments. The NRC will evaluate this information to determine further action.

3.

Did seismic instrumentation operate as specified?

We believe that the data is usable, however, we are relying on the epplicant's vendors to confirm that the data is usable to evaluate structural responses. Reports from the vendors of the instrumentation are due by the end of the week.

4.

What is the probability of earthquakes of this magnitude or for the SSE et the site?

At this time, we are not aware of seismic probabilistic estimates specifically made for this site. The SSE was established considering historical data. This is in accordance with Regulations.

5.

Why did the licensee declare a site area emergency if SSE was not exceeded?

The applicant based this decision on prudent interpretation of instrumentatian indications and alarms in the control room.

The Congressmen believed that the call was useful and clarified many of their concerns and requested an update next Monday.

Review of Work Requests for Potential Earthquake Effects Please review the work request (s) noted against your name to determine whether the problem could have been caused by the earthquake event. If your answer is no, then i

please provide a brief explanation for your answer.

This review is needed prior to doing the work on the WR. The Intention is not to repair anything that could have been caused by the earthquake without the NRC's knowledge.

Please provide a prompt response (one-day turnaround) for these reviews.

Dear Mr. Chairman:

g f'..

tee', y., f s sy,4 ;g ha brought Congressman Dennis Eckart, a Member.of the subcom to my attention,an issue of potential concern relating to the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.in Ohio.

)

As you know, an earthquake. occurred in the vicinity sof Perry on January 31, 1986.

preliminary information provided to the Subcommittee appears to indicate that actual ground movement. at the site may shave exceeded in some respects the seismic specifications for which the plant was designed.

The subcommittee is most interested in learning whether f and to what extent the Safe Shutdown.,garthquake_(SSE) of 0.15g that o/ Perry '~sas" de,s_ighe-a35]copfy_1.t{sifely was,,, exceeded du' ring' the 'teismic acYivity that occurred last Friday.

t

-~~

It in also my understanding that there may be some minor impact or damage to parts of the plant.

The Subcommittee is also interested in a p complete reporting of any damage and its_sijnific_ance.

I have reviewed both letters forwarded tO the Commission by Congressman Eckart and Congressman John Seiberling, a Member of the Interior committee.

Both letters raise significant concerns to which the Commission should respond as promptly as possible.

I concur completely with their correspondence with you.

The Subcommittee also

/ would appreciate receiving _your, r_es_pqpee,to,,the matters that.,they raise.

g/ Additionally, the Subcommitetes'regues;ta all,docmments, relating to this issue, including, but not limited to, NRC analyses and memoranda, documents generated by NRC's augmented incident response team, and licensee, contractor and vendor documents.. These documents should be provided by February 14, 1986 with weekly supp1_ements as additional doc,uments are generated or received At congress: nan Eckart's request, the Subcommittee intends to follow this matter closely.

I request that the subcommittee be kept fully and currently informed of all developments as your investigation proceeds.

In advance, thank you for your cooperation,.

sincerely,

BasWagten,B.C. 20615 February 4,1986 Honorable Nunzio J. Palladino Chatman Nuclear Regulatory Connission 1717 H Street N.W.

Washington, D.C.

20555

Dear Mr. Chaiman:

On Monday noming, February 3, we were briefed by several members of the NRC staff conceming the impact of last Friday's earthquake on the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry. Ohio. Although we malize infomation currently avail-able is still preliminary, we appreciate the Connission taking the time to keep us up to date. Mr. Carl Papemillo, Director of the Division of Reactor Safety at NRC's Region III, and leader of the NRC investigation team sent to Perry after the incident, was particularly informative.

During the course of the briefing, we learned, among other things, that the data recorded by the seismic indicators at the Perry facility during the event will be evaluated by the vendor companies who provided those devices to the licensee.

Obviously, the analysis of the data, uncertaintfe1, impiteit in any such analysis, and the relationship of the results of the analysis vis-a-vis compliance with the Comission's seismic criteria and mgulations is of crl-tical importance. Of additional concern is the fact that a seismic event of this magnitude has apparently nevei before occurmd at a nuclear power plant in the United States, giving the actfons we take now a special significance 1

for the future.

I Therefore, we are requesting that the Comnission seek a rovfew of the data and its implications by the Advisory Connittee.on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) and its seiwie consultants, fneluding those seismologists and earthquaku enyi-neers who have assisted the ACR5 in its evaluation of 'Diablo Canyon, San Onofre.

and other plants where earthquake considerations were important.

Mr. Paperiello indicated during yesterday's briefing that thivendor compan-ies' analysis should be complete by the end of this week. Accordingly, we would appreciate hearing from you on Monday, February 10,regarding the initial results of that anal independent review. ysis, as well as a target date for completion of the k you in atyce for your continued cooperation.
