September 3,1963 Mr. Edson G. Case Assistant Director for Facilities Licensing Division ~ of Licensing and Regulation U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Washington 25, D. C.

Dear Mr. Case:

Just prior 'to my departure on August 29, we discussed the possibility. of obtaining higher seismic design forces for equipment items of the Bodega reactor by using zero damp-ing instead of 0. 5'/o damping.

I neglected to state that this approach would not be useful where the period of vibration is small - say 0.1 of a second or less, since damping is not a factor in the response under these conditions.

Sincerely, HOLMES & NARVER, INC.
