Outside of Scope

On Oconee, one of the confusions on what the dam frequency represents is that the licensee parsed failure modes by separating seismic and treating the probability of failure due to overtopping individually (using limited hydrologic data). This approach came from an earlier PRA study effort titled NSAC-60, specific to Oconee. The failure modes which the licensee included were primarily embankment piping and foundation failures with a very narrow focus on dams that met the same characteristics of Jocassee Dam, resulting in a lower value than would generally be obtained by using dam failures from all failure modes and years of operations of the general large dam population (which is how they derived the value listed in the IPEEE, which again was based on NSAC-60 approach).
