UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 Honorable Victor Gilinsky Commissioner U. s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Conunissioner Gilinsky:
June 8, 1982 This is in response to your request for comments, dated December 3, 1981, regarding a 1 etter from Professor Paul Jennings on proposed changes in seismic design methodology.
We believe that Professor Jennings' suggestions are of interest and merit careful consideration.
We recommend that they be considered within the context of a broad review of the NRC Staff's current seismic design practices.
The NRC Staff is planning to reactivate their reassessment of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 100 in the near future.
We believe that this would be an appropriate forum for these discussions and recommend that Professor Jennings be invited to participate.
We note that the NRC Staff in licensing actions and in their past evaluations of seismic design practices has addressed some of the issues on which Professor Jennings has commented and has in some instances adopted approaches similar to what he has suggested.
We expect to be involved in the planned reassessment of Appendix A to 1 0 CFR Part l 00 and wi 11 further consider Professor Jennings' suggestions at that time.
Sincerely, 2168
