The industry initiated the New Reactor Seismic Issues Resolution Program to work with theU.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to address technical issues pertaining to the seismic design of new reactors. The NRC Seismic Issues Technical Advisory Group, comprising staff members from the Office of New Reactors, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, and Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, was a principal interface with industry. Among the new reactor seismic issues, two critical issues are the (1) implementation of the performance-based approach to determining the site-specific ground motion to satisfy the requirements of Title 10, Section 100.23, "Geologic and Seismic Siting Criteria," of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 100.23) and(2) implementation of incoherency analysis to evaluate the effects of high-frequency ground motions.The NRC staff and industry reached a resolution on the first issue, and the staff formalized itsregulatory guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.208, "A Performance-Based Approach to Define the Site-Specific Earthquake Ground Motion," issued March 2007. The staff developed and incorporated the umbrella framework to address the second issue ("high-frequency issue")

in Section 3.7.1, "Seismic Design Parameters," of NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 3, issued March 2007 (referred to hereafter as the SRP). The SRP recognizes that for some sites the site-specific ground motion may exceed the ground motion spectra used in a certified design. The SRP lays out a progressive, stepwise process to address these exceedances. The enclosures to this letter outline the draft interim staff guidance (ISG) to implement the SRPframework.

In this regard, note that industry has yet to deliver final reports on a few of the issues as discussed in Enclosure 1. Some refinement of the proposed ISGs may occur as a result of the agency's review of the final reports; however, the NRC does not anticipate any substantive revisions of the proposed ISGs as the NRC staff and industry have had several interactions, as discussed in Enclosure 1.If you have any questions about this letter or its enclosures, please contact Mr. Goutam Bagchiat (301) 415-3305, GXB1@nrc.gov; or Mr. Sujit Samaddar at (301) 415-3173, SKS3@nrc.gov

SUBJECT:

NRC Staff Draft Interim Staff Guidance on Seismic Issues

Dear Mr. Heymer:

The industry initiated the New Reactor Seismic Issues Resolution Program to work with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to address technical issues pertaining to the seismic design of new reactors. The NRC Seismic Issues Technical Advisory Group, comprising staff members from the Office of New Reactors, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, and Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, was a principal interface with industry. Among the new reactor seismic issues, two critical issues are the (1) implementation of the performance-based approach to determining the site-specific ground motion to satisfy the requirements of Title 10, Section 100.23, Geologic and Seismic Siting Criteria, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 100.23) and (2) implementation of incoherency analysis to evaluate the effects of high-frequency ground motions.

The NRC staff and industry reached a resolution on the first issue, and the staff formalized its regulatory guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.208, A Performance-Based Approach to Define the Site-Specific Earthquake Ground Motion, issued March 2007. The staff developed and incorporated the umbrella framework to address the second issue (high-frequency issue) in Section 3.7.1, Seismic Design Parameters, of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 3, issued March 2007 (referred to hereafter as the SRP). The SRP recognizes that for some sites the site-specific ground motion may exceed the ground motion spectra used in a certified design. The SRP lays out a progressive, stepwise process to address these exceedances.

The enclosures to this letter outline the draft interim staff guidance (ISG) to implement the SRP framework. Enclosure 1 provides the background and a discussion of the issue, lists some key recent reports, and provides the overall context for positions taken in subsequent enclosures. contains some key definitions. Enclosures 3 and 4 contain draft ISGs on specific issues. contains staff guidance on a separate issue of the industrys approach on testing for dynamic soil properties. The staff will pay special attention in its acceptance review on this issue to identify potential future scheduling delays because of insufficient information or anticipated additional reviews.

A. Heymer The draft ISGs fall into two main categories(1) technical positions defining specific acceptance criteria or an acceptable approach and (2) information to be included in a combined license application to fully address the high-frequency issue to assure that the framework in SRP Section 3.7.1 can be implemented. Thus, these ISGs supplement RG 1.206, Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants, issued June 2007. Although these ISGs focus on the COL application, they are also applicable if an amendment to a certified design is sought. They should also be useful in developing a design certification application.

The staff plans to finalize these ISGs in the near future after addressing comments on these draft positions from all stakeholders. Therefore, please provide your comments no later than August 31, 2007. The agency may arrange a public meeting depending on the nature of the comments. In this regard, note that industry has yet to deliver final reports on a few of the issues as discussed in Enclosure 1. Some refinement of the proposed ISGs may occur as a result of the agencys review of the final reports; however, the NRC does not anticipate any substantive revisions of the proposed ISGs as the NRC staff and industry have had several interactions, as discussed in Enclosure 1.

If you have any questions about this letter or its enclosures, please contact Mr. Goutam Bagchi at (301) 415-3305, GXB1@nrc.gov; or Mr. Sujit Samaddar at (301) 415-3173, SKS3@nrc.gov.
