NRC Letter, Final Determination ofLicensee Seismic Risk Assessments Under the Request for Information Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code ofFederal Regulations 50.54(/) Regarding Recommendation 2.1 "Seismic" of the near term Task Force Review ofInsights ji*om the Fukushima Dai-chi Accident, dated October 27, 2015, ADAMS Accession Number ML15194A015.

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Request for Infmmation per 10 CFR 50.54(f) (Reference 1) to all power reactor licensees. The required response section of Enclosure 1 indicated that licensees should provide a Seismic Hazard Evaluation and Screening Report within 1.5 years from the date of the letter for Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) nuclear power plants. By NRC letter dated May 7, 2013 (Reference 2), the date to submit the report was extended to March 31,2014.

By letter dated May 9, 2014 (Reference 6), the NRC transmitted the results of the screening and prioritization review of the seismic hazards reevaluation submittal for Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Reference 5). In accordance with the screening, prioritization, and implementation details report (SPID) and Augmented Approach guidance (References 2, 3 and 4), the reevaluated seismic hazard is used to determine if additional seismic risk evaluations are warranted for a plant. Specifically, the reevaluated horizontal ground motion response spectrum (GMRS) at the control point elevation is compared to the existing Individual Plant Examination for External Events (IPEEE) High Capacity Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF) Spectrum (IHS) to determine if a plant is required to perform a high frequency confirmation. As noted in the October 27, 2015 letter (Reference 9), Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC is to conduct a limited scope High Frequency Confitmation.

Within the May 9, 2014letter (Reference 6), NRC acknowledged that these limited scope evaluations will require additional development of the assessment process. By Reference 7, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) submitted an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report entitled, High Frequency Program: Application Guidance for Functional Confitmation and Fragility Evaluation (EPRI 3002004396) for NRC review and endorsement. NRC endorsement was provided by Reference 8.

The High Frequency Confirmation for Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC, shows that the GMRS exceedance area between the control point GMRS and IHS anchored at 0.21g is 8.5%

over the frequency range of exceedance. As such, the GMRS exceedances are consistent with the criteria identified in Section 3.1.2 of Reference 7; therefore, no additional

Document Control Desk PLA-7416 evaluation is necessary. The attachment to this letter provides IHS and GMRS information from Reference 5.

This transmittal completes the scope of work described in Section 4.2 of Reference 5.

This letter contains no new Regulatory Commitments and no revision to existing Regulatory Commitments.

Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Jason Jennings at 570-542-3155.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
