No evidence of a major faulthas been recognized within or near the coastal area, and bedrockrelationships in the exploratory trenches positively indicate that no suchfault is present wlthin the area of the power plant site,Minor surfaces of disturbancer some of which plainly are faults, arepresent within the bedrock that underlies the power plant site.

Thus, the latest movements along these small faults must haveantedated erosion of the bedrock section in Pleistocerie lime,(6) No landslide masses or other gross expressions of ground instability arepresent within the power plant sile or on the main hillslope easl of the siteSome landslides have been identified in adjacent ground, but these areminor features confined to the naturally oversteepened walls of DiabloCanyon.(7) No waler of subsudace origin was enountered in the exploratorytrenches, ancl the level of permanent groundwater beneath the mainterrace area probably is little different from that of the adjacent lowerreaches of the deeply incised Diablo Creeki'.1'i,'i.

Geologic evidence portinent to the behavior cif tlre faull during thisand earlier seismic events was studied in great detail by Wallace (Refetencee 15 andji? t"-"' who reported in terms of infrequent great earthquakes accontpanied by groundrupture of 10 to 30 feet, with intervening periods of near total quiescence.

SunNacint"onto Faull ZaneThe Sur-Nacimiento fault zone has been regarcled as the system of faults that extendsfrom the vicinity of Pont Sur, near the northwest nd of the Santa Lucia Range, to theBig Pine fault in the western Traneverse Ranges, and that separates the granilic-metamorplric basement of the Salinian Blook from lhe Franciscan basement of theoastal Block, The most prominent faults that re included within this zone are, fromnorthwest to southeast, the Sur, Nacimiento, Rinconada, ancl (south) Nacimiento faultsTlre Sur fault, which extends as far nolhward as Point Sur on land, continues to lhenorthwest in the offshore conlinental margin. At its southerly end, the zone termnateswhere the (south) Nacimiento fault is cut off by the Big Pine fault. The overall lenglh ofthe Sur-Nacimiento fault zone between Point Sur and the Transverse Ranges is about180 miles. The 60 mlle long Nacim'ento fault, between points of juncture with the Surand Rinconada faults, forms lhe longest segment wilhin this zone.

Dlbblee (Refererrce 2?){J'' however, has suggested thatthese faults are part of a single system, provisionally termed the Rinconada fault zoneatter one of its more prominent members, He also proposed abandoning the nemeNacimiento for the large fault that constltutes the mosl southerly parl of this system, asit is not continuous with the Nacimiento fault to the north, near lhe Nacimiento River.The newly defined Rinconada fault system comprises the old (south) Nacimíento,Rinconada, and San Marcos faults. Dibblee proposed that the system also include theI Espinosa and Reliz faults, to the north, but dtaiecl work by Durham (f-<eference 2ti]6does not seem to support this interpretation. lnstead, the system may extend intoLockwood Valley and die out there along the Jolon and San Antonio faults, All the faultsof the Rinconada system have undergone signlficant movement during middle and lateCenozoic time, though the entire system did not behave as a urrit. Dibblee pointed outthat: "Relative vertical displacemenls are cor"troversial, inconsistent, reversed from onesegme-t to another; the major movement my be slrike slip, as on the San Andreasfault."Regarding the strurctural relationship of the Rinoonada fault lo rrearby faults, Dibbleewrote as follows:"Thrust or reverse faults of Quaternary age are associated with the Rinconada faullalong much of its course on one or both sides, within g miles, especially in areas ofintense folding. ln the northem patt several, including the San Antonio fault, arepresent along both margins of the range of hills between the Salinas andLockwood Valleys . . . , along which this range was elevated in part.

San Sitneon FaultThe fault here referred to as the San Simeon fault trends along lhe base of thepeninsula that li!s north of the settlement of San Simeon, This fault is on land for adistance of 12 miles belween its only outcrop, north of Ragged Point, and Point SanSimeon. lt may extend as rnuch as 16 miles farther to the southeast, to the vicinity ofPoint Estero.. This possibility is suggested by the straight reach of coastline betweenCambria and Point Estero, which is directly aligned with the onshore trend of the fault;its linear form may well have been controlled by a zone of sttuctural weaknessassociated with the infened southerly parl of the fault. South of Port Estero, however,there is no evidence of faulting observable in the seismic rellection profiles acrossEstero Bay, and the trend definecl by the Los Osos Valley-Estero Bay series of lowerMiocene or Oligocene intrusivee extends across the San Simeon hend withoutdeviation.I tttonn of Point Pieclras Blancas, Silver (§efererrcr reports a fault with about5 kilometers of vertical separation between the 4-kilometer-thick Tertiary section in theoffshore basin and the nearby 1-lilometer-high exposure of Franciscan basement rocksin the coastline mountain front, The existence of a fault in lhis region is also indioatedby the 30- mllligal gravity anomaiy between tlre offshore basin and the onshore ranges(Plate ll of Appendix 2.5D of Reference ?7 in Sectlon 2,3), This postulated fault maywell be a norlhward extension of the San Simeon fault lf this is the case, the SanSimoon fault may have a total length of as mutch as 00 miles.2,5-11LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and GeologyEdiled for ConsrslencyEdltecl for ConslstenryEdlted for Conaistency17 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEBetween Point San Simeon end Ragged Point, the San Simeon fault lies along the baseof a broad peninsula, the surface of which is characterized by elevated marine terracesand younger, steep-walled ravines and canyons. The low, terraced topography of thg .peninsula contrasts sharply wlth that of the steep mountain front that rises immediately'behind lt, Clearly, the ground west of the maln fault represents a part of the sea floorthat has been locally arched up.This has resulted in exposure of the fault, which elsewhere is concealed undenryater offthe shoreline,The ground between the San Simeon fault and the southwest coastline of the PiedrasBlancas peninsula is underlain by faulted blocks and slivers of Franciscan rocks,serpentinites, Tertiary sedimentary breccia and volcanic rocks, and Miocene shale. Thefaulted contacts between these rock masses trend somewhat more westerly than thetrend of the San Simeon fault. One north-dipping reverse fault, which separatesserpentinlte from graywacke, has broken marlne terrace deposlts ln at least two places,one of them in the basal part of lhe lowest and youngest tenace, Movement along thisbranch *ault has therefore occurred less than 1 30,000 years before the present,although the uppermost, youngest Pleistocene deposits are apparently not broken.Prominent topographic lineations defined by northwest-aligned ravines that 'ncise theupper terrace surface, on the other hand, apparently have originated through headwardgully erosion along faults and faulte{ contacts, rather than through the effects of surfacefaulting,The characteristics of the San Simeon fault can be summarized as follows: The faultmay be related to a fault along the coast to the north that displays some 5 kilometers ofvertical displacement. Near San Simeon, lt exhibits probable Plelstocene right-lateralstrike-slip movement of as much as 1500 feet near San Simeon, although it apparentlydoes not break dune sand deposits of late Pleistocene or early Holocene age. A.branchreverse fault, however, breaks upper Pleistocene marine terace deposits' The SanSimeon fault may extend as far south as Point Estero, but lt dies out before crosslng thenorthern part of Estero Bay.5. Sanfa Lucia Bank FaultSouth of the latitude of Point Piedras Blancas, the western boundary of the mainoffshore Santa Maria Basin is defined by the east-facing scarp along the east side of theSanta Lucia Bank. This scarp is associated with the Santa Lucia Bank fault, thestructure that separates the subsided block under the basin from the structural hlgh ofthe bank, The escarpment that rises above the west side of the fault trace has amaximum height of about 450 feet, as shown on U,S, Coast and Geodetic Survey(USC&GS) Bathymetric Map 1306N-20.The Sania Lucia Bank fault can be traced on the sea floor for a distance of about65 miles.

These data show lhe East Boundary zone to consist of a series of generallyparallel north-northwest-trendng faults and folds, developed chiefly in upper Plocenestrata tlrat flank upwarped lower Pliocene and older rocks. The zone extends fromsouth of the latitude of Poinl Sal to north of Point Piedras Blancas, Wthin the zone,individual fault breaks range in length from less than 1000 feet up to a maximum ofabout 30 miles. The overall length of lhe zone is approximately 90 mlles, with about60 nriles of relatively continuous faulting.The apparent vefiical component of movement is down to the west across some faultsand down to the easl across others. Along lhe central reach of the zone, opposite theSan Luis Range, a block of ground has been dropped between the two main strands ofthe fault to form a graben struclure. Within lhe graben, and at other points along theEast Bounclary zone, beclding in the rock has been folded down toward the upthrownside of the wesl s"de down fault.

The structure and onlqp relationships ofthe upper Pliocene, as reflected in the configuration of the unconformlty at its base, aresuch that it consistently rises from the offshore basin and across the boundary zone viaa series of upwarps, asymmetric folds, and faults.

Locally, the unit is featured by masses of clastlc-textured tuffaceousrock that exhi!it cross-cutting intrusive relations with the bedded parts of the formalion.The Obispo and Point Sal were folded and locally eroded prior to "nitiation of lhe mainepisode of upper Miocene and Pliocene marine sedlmentation,During late middle Miocene to late Miocene time, deposition of the thick sections ofsilica-rich shale of lhe Monterey Forrnation began. Deposition of this formation andequlvalenl strata took place throughout much of the coastal region of Californla, butapparently was centered in a series of offshore basins that all developecl at about thesame time, some 10 to 12 million years ago, Local volcanism toward lhe latler part ofthis time is shown by the presence of diabase dikes and sills in the Monterey. Near thend of lhe Mlocene, the Monterey strata were subjected to oompresslonal deformationresulling in folcllng, in part with great complexity, and in faulting. Near the oidcontinental margin, represented by the Sur-Nacimienlo fault zone, the deformatlon wasmost intense, and was accompanied by uplift. This apparently resulted in the firstdevelopment of many of the large folds of the southern Coast Ranges ncluding lheHuasna and San Luis-Pismo synclines, and in the partial erosion of the folded Montereysection in areas of uplift The pattern of reglonal uplift of the Coast Ranges andsubsidence of the offshore basins, with local upwarping and faulting in a zone ofinflection along the boundry between the two regions, apparently became welleslatrlislred during the episocle of late Miocene and Mio-Pliocene cliastrophismSedinrentation resumed rn Pliocene fime throughott mt,ch of lhe region of the Mioceneí:asins, and several thousand feet of siltstone and sandstone was deposited.

Pliocene deposits in the region of uplift were then folded, and there wasrenewed movemenl along mosl of the preexisting larger faults.Differential movements belween the Coast Ranges uplift and the offshore basins wereagain concentrated along the boundary zone of inllection, resulting in upwarping andfaulting of the basemenl, Miocene, and Pliocene sections.

A second, more seaward systemof normal faults is antilhetic to the master set ancl exhibits only tens to a few hundredsof feet of displacement. Strata belween these faults locally exhibit reverse dragdownfolding toward the edge of the Pliocene basin, whereas the section is essenliallyundeformed farther offshore, This style of deformalion indicates a passive response,through gravity tectonics, to the onshore uplift,The Plio-Pleistocene uplift was accompanied by rapid erosion, with consequent nerbydeposition of clastic sediments such as the Paso Robles Formalion in valleyslhrouglrout the southern Coast Ranges. The high-angle reverse and normal fault'ngI observed by Compton (Referencn 38)#i in lhe northern Santa Lucia Range alsooccurred farther south, probably more or less contemporaneously wlth accumulation ofthe continental deposits. Much of the Quaternary faulting other than that related to theSan Andreas right lateral stress-straln system my well have occurred at this time.Tectonlc activity during the Quaternary has involved continued general uplifl of thesouthern Coast Ranges, with superimposed local downwarping and continuedmovement along faults of the San Andreas syslem, The uplift is shown by thegenerl high elevation and steep youthful topography that charact'rizes the GoastRanges and by'the wirlespread uplifted marine and stream terraces. Localdownwarping can be seen in valleys, such as the Santa Maria Valley, where thicksections of Plio-Pleistocene and younger deposits have accumr.tlated. Evidence ofsignifioanl late Quaternary fault movement is seen in the topography along theRinconada-San Marcos, Espinosa, San Simeon, and Santa Lucia Bank faults, as wellas along the San Andreas itself. Only along the San Andreas, however, is thereevidence of Holocene or contempolary movemeni.The latest stage in the evolution of the San Luis Range has extencld frommid-Pleistocene time to the present, and has involved more or less continuousinteraction between apparent uplitt of the range and alternaling periods of erosion ordeposition, especially along the coest, durng times of relatively rising, falling, orunchanging sea level, The developmenl of wave-cut benches and the accumulalion ofmarine deposlls on these benhes have provided a reliable guide to the minlmum ageoI latest displacements along breaks in the underlying bedrock.

The core of the western San LuisRange is underlain by the Upper Miocene Monterey Formation, which constitutes thebulk of the Tertiary section. The Upper Miocene to Lower Pliocene Pismo Formationcrops out in a discontinuous band along the southwest flank and across the west end ofthe range, resting with some discordance on the Monterey section and elsewheredirectly on older Tertiary or basement rocks.The coastal area in the vicinity of Diablo Canyon is underlain by strata that have beenvariously correlated with the Obispo, Poinl Sal, and Monterey Formations, Headlee, forexample, has shown the Point Sal as overlying the Obispo, whereas Hall hasconsidered these two units as different facies of a single time-stratigraphio unit,Whatever the exact stratigraphic relationships of these rocks might prove to be, it isclear that they lie above the main body of tuffaceous sedimenlary rooks of the ObispoFormation and below the main part of the Monterey Formatlon. The existence ofintrusive bodies of both tuff breccia and diabase in this part of the section indicateseither that local volcanic activity continued beyond the time of deposition of the ObispoFormation, or that the section represents a predominantly sedimentary facies of theupper part of the Obispo Formation. ln either oase, the strata underlying the powerplant site range downward through the Obispo Formation and presumably include a fewhundred feet of the Rincon and Vaqueros Formations resting upon a basement ofMesozoic rooks.A generalized description of the major units in the Tertiary section follows, and a moredetailed description of the rocks exposed at the power plant site is included in a latersection.The Vaqueros Formation has been described by Headlee as consisting of 100 to 400feet of resistant, massive, coarse-grained, calcareously cemented bioclastic sandstoneThe overlying Rincon Formation consists of 200 to 300 feet of dark gray to chooolatebrown calcareous shale and mudstone.The Obispo Formation (or Obispo Tuff) is 800 to 2000 feet thick and comprisesalternating massive to thick-bedded, medium to fino grained vitric-lithic tuffs, finely2.5-20LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and GeologyI e,ilt-o ior cl"rtllI Number- Revlsed Secllon26 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATElaminated black and brown marine siltstone and shale, and medium grained light tanmarine sandstone.

The San Luis Range-Estero Bay and adjacent offshorearea lies within the zone of transition from the west-trending Transverse Rangestructural province to the northwest-trendlng Coast Ranges province, Major structuralfeatures are the long narrow downfold of the San Luis-Pismo syncline and the borderingantiformal structural highs of Los Osos Valley on the northeast, and of Point San Luisand the adjacent offshore area on the southwest. This set of folds trends obliquely intoa north-northwest aligned zone of basement upwarping, folding, and hlgh-angle normalfaulting that lies a few miles off lhe coast.

These sulaces of irregular butgenerally low relief were developed across bedrock by marlne eroslon, and they areancient analogues of the benches now being cut approximately at sea level along thepresent coast. They were formed during periods when the sea level was higher, relativeto the adjacent land, than it is now, Each is thinly and discontinuously mantled withmarine sand, gravel, and rubble similar to the beach and offshore deposits that areaccumulating along the present coastline, Along its landward margin each bears thickerand more localized coarse deposits similar to the modern talus along the base of thepresent sea cliff.2.5-26LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology32 OCPP UN S 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATBoth the ancient wave-cut benches and their overlying manne and shoreline depositshave been buried beneath silty to gravelly detritus derived from landward sources afterthe benches were, in effect, abandoned by the ocean.

Some of the sandstone contains small but megascopicallyvisible fragments of pumice, perlitic glass, and tuff, and a few beds grade along strikeinto submarine tuff breccia. The sanclstones are thinly to very thickly layered: individrtalbeds 6 inches to 4 feet thick are fairly common, and a few appear to be as thick as2.5.?9LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geologydltd for Clarify - Reler toApplicablllty Mslrix ltem ti 7Edlled for Clarity - Rovised Seclion' Number35 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE15 feet, Some of them are hard and very resistant to erosion, and they typically formsubdued but nearly continuous elongated projeclions on major hillslopes (Figure 2.5-8),The siliceous shales are buff to light gray platy rocks that are moderately hard toextremely hard accord'ng to their silica content, but they tend to break readily alongbedding and fracture surfaces, The bituminous rocks and the slltstones and mudstonesare darker colored, softer, and grossly more compact. Some of them are very thinlybedded or lamlnated, others appear almost massive or form matrices for irregularlyellipsoidal masses of somewhat sandier materil. The diatomaceous, tuffaceous, andsandy rocks are lighter colored. The more tuffaceous types are softer, and thediatomaceous ones are soft to the degree of punkiness; both kinds of rocks are easilyeroded, but are markedly cohesive and tend to retain their gross posltions on even thesteepest of slopes,The siliceous shale and most of the hardest, highly siliclfied rooks weather to very lightgray, and the dark colored, fine-grained rocks tend to bleach when weathered. Theother lypes, including the sandstones, weather to various shades of buff and lightbrown. Stains of iron oxides are widespread on exposures of nearly all the Montereyrocks, and are especially well developed on some of the finest-grained shales thatcontain disseminated pyrite, All but the hardest and most thick-bedded rocks areconsiderably broken to depths of as much as 6 feet 'n the zone of weathering on slopesother than lhe present sea cliff, and the broken fragments have been separated anddisplaced by surface creep to somewhat lesser depths.I Z,S.z+.z.s.l Diabasic lntrusive RocksSmall, irregular bodies of diabasic rocks are poorly exposed high on the walls of DiabloCanyon at and beyond the northeasterly edge of the map area. Contact relationshipsare readily determined at only a few places where these rocks evidently are intruslve'nto the Monterey Formation. They are considerably weathered, but an ophitic texture isrecognizable. They consist chiefly of calcic plagioclase and augite, with some olivine,opeque minerals, and zeolitic alteration products.I i2.s.z+:2,s.;,4 Masses of Brecclated RocksHlghly irregular masses of coarsely breociated rocks, a few feet to many tens of feet inmaximum dimension, are present in some of the relatively siliceous parts of theMonterey section that adjoin the principal bodies of Obispo Tuff. The fracturing anddislocation is not genetically related to any recognizable faults, but instead seems tohave been associated with emplacement of the volcanic rocks; lt evidently wasaccompanied by, or soon followed by, extensive silicification, Many adjacent fragmentsin the breccias are closely juxtaposed and have matching opposed aurfaces, so thatthey plainly represent no more than coarse crackling of the brittle rocks. Otherfragments, though angular or subangular, are not readily matched with adjacentfragments and hence may represent significant translation wlthin the entire rockmasses.LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and GeologyEdited for Clarity - Revlsed SectlonNumber2.5-3036 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe ratio of matrix materials to coarse fragments is very low in most of the breccias andnowhere was it observed to exceed about 1:3, The matrices generally comprlse smallerangular fiagments of the same Monterey rocks that are elsewhere dominant in thebreccias, and they characteristically are set in a slliceous cement. Tuffaceous matrices,with or without Monterey fragments, also are widespread and commonly show theeffects of pervaslve silicification, All the exposed breccias are firmly cemented, andthey rank among the hardest and most resistant units in the entire bedrock section.A few 3 to 1E inch beds of sandstone have been pulled apart to form separate tabularmasses along specific stratigraphic horizons in higher parts of the Monterey sequence.Such lndividual tablets, which are boudins rather than ordinary breccia fragments, areespecially well exposed in the sea cliff at the northern corner of Diablo Cove, They areflanked by much finer-grained strata that converge around their ends and continueessentially unbroken beyond them. This boudinage or separation and stringing out ofsandstone beds that lie within intervals of much softer and more shaly rocks hasresulted from compression during folding of the Monterey section. lts distribution isstratigraphically controlled and ls not systematically related to recognizable faults in thearea,I z.s.z+,z,l.d Surficial Depgsits1. Coastal Temce DepositsThe coastal wave-cut benches of Pleistocene age, as described in a foregoing section,are almost continuously blanketed by terrace deposits (Qter in Figure 2,5-8) of severalcontrasting types and modes of origin. The oldest of these deposits are relatively thinand patchy in their occurrence, and were laid down along and adjacent to ancientbeaches dur'ng Pleistocene time, They are covered by considerably thicker and moreextensive nonmarine accumulations of detrital materials derived from various landwardsources,The marine deposits consist of silt, sand, gravel, and cobbly to bouldery rubble. Theyare approximately 2 feet in average thickness over the entire terrace area and reach amaximum observed thickness of about 8 feet. They rest directly upon bedrock, some ofwhich is marked by numerous holes attributable to the action of boring marine mollusks,and they commonly contain large rounded cobbles and boulders of Monterey andObispo rocks that have been s'milarly bored. Lenses and pockets of highly fossil'feroussand and gravel are present locally,The marine sediments are poorly to very well sorted and loose to modorately wellconsolidated. All of them have been naturally compacted; the degree of compactionvaries according to the material, but it is consistently greater than that observed ln anyof the associated surficial deposits of other types. Near the inner margins of individualwave-cut benches the marine deposits merge landward into coarser and lesswell-sorted debris that evidently accumulated along the bases of ancient sea cliffs or2.5-31LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and Geology:Edited forClarity - Revlsed SectlonNumber37 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEother shoreline slopes, This debris is locally as much as 12 feet thick; it forms broad butvery short aprons, now buried beneath younger deposits, that are ancient analogues ofthe talus accumulations along the inner margin of the present beach in Diablo Cove,One of these occurences, identified as "fossil Qtb" in the geologic map of Figure 2.5-8,is well exposed high on the northerly wall of Diablo Canyon,A younger, thicker, and much more continuous nonmarine cover is present over most ofthe coastal terrace area, lt conslstently overlies the marine deposits noted above, and,where thse are absent, it rests directly upon bedrock, lt is composed in part of alluvialdetritus contributed during Pleistocene time from Diablo Canyon and several smallerdrainage courses, and it thickens markedly as traced sourceward toward thesecanyons, The detritus represents a series of alluvial fans, some of which appear tohave partly coalesced with adjacent ones. lt is chiefly fine- to moderately-coarse-grained gravel and rubble characterized by tabular fragments of Monterey rocks in arather abundant silty.to clayey matrix. Most of it is thlnly and regularly stratlfied, but thedistinctness of this layering varies greatly from place to place.Slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, derived from adjacent hlllsides by relativelyslow downhill movement over long periods of tlme, also form major parts of thenonmarine tenace cover, All are loose and uncompacted. They comprise fragments ofMonterey rocks in dark colored clayey matrices, and their internal structure is essentiallychaotic. ln some places they are crudely interlayered with the alluvial fan deposits, andelsewhere they overlie these bedded sediments. On parts of the maln terrace area notreached by any of the alluvial fans, a cover of slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, afew inches to nearly 10 feet thick, rests directly upon either marine terrace deposits orbedrock.Thus, the entire section of terrace deposits that caps the coastal benches of Pleistocenemarine erosion is heterogeneous and internally complex; it includes contributions ofdetritus from contrasting sources, from dlfferent directions at different times, and viaseveral basically different modes of transport and deposition,2. Stream-tenace DepositsSeveral narrow, irregular benches along the walls of Diablo Canyon are veneered by afew inches to 6 feet of silty gravels that are somewhat coarser but otherwise similar tothe alluvial fan deposits described above. These stream-terrace deposits (Qst)originally occupied the bottom of the canyon at a time when the lower course of DiabloCreek had been cut downward through the alluvial fan sediments of the main terraceand well into the underlying bedrock. Subsequent deepening of the canyon leftremnants of the deposits as cappings on scattered small terraces,3.

Several episodes of sliding are attested by thin, elongatemasses of highly broken ground separated from one anotlrer by well-defined zones ofdislocation. Some of lhese masses are slill capped by terrace deposits. The entirecomposite accumulation of debris is not more than 35 feel in maximum thickness, andground failure at th's locally does not appear to have resulted in major recession of thecliff, Elsewhere within the mapped area, landsliding along the sea cliff evidently has notbeen a significant procees.Large landslides, some of them involving substantial thickness of bedrock, are presenton both sides of Diablo Canyon not far northeast of th power plant area. Theseoccurrences need not "e considereci in connection wilh the planl slte, but they havebeen regarded as significant factors in establishing a satisfactory grading design for theswitchyard and other up-canyon installations. They are not dealt with in this section.4. Slump, Areap, and S/ope-wash DepossAs noted earlier, slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits (Qsw) form parts of thenonmarine sedimentary blahket on the main terrace, These materials are shownseparately on the geologic map only in those limited areas where they have beenconsiderably concerrtraled along well-defined swales and are readily distinguished fromother surficial deposits. Their actual distrlbr.rtion is much wder, nd they undoubtedlyare present over a large fraction of the areas designatecl as Qter; their averagelhickness in such areas, however, is probably less than 5 feet,Angular fragments of Monterey rocks are sparsely to very abundantly scattered throughlhe slump, creep. and slope-wash deposits, whose most oharaclerislic feature is afine-grained matrix that is dark colored, moderately rich in clay minerals, and extremelysoft when wet. lnternal layering is rarely observable and nowhere is sharply expressed,The debris seenrs to have been rather thoroughly intermixed cluring its slow migrationdown hlllslopes in response to gravity.

The floors of both Diablo Cove and South Cove probably are irregular in detailand are featured by rather hard, fresh bedrock that is discontinuously overlain byirregular thin bodies of sand and gravel, The distribution and abundance of kelpsuggest that bedrock crops out over large parts ofthese cove areas where the seabottom cannot be observed from onshore points.6.

Thus the main syncllne, thoughsimple in gross form, is distnctly asymmetric. Ihe steepnqss of its southerly f"anl< maywell have resulted from buttressing, during the folding, by the relatively massive andcompetent unit of tuffaceous rocks that adjoins the Monterey strata at this general levelof exposure.Smaller folds, corrugations, ancl highly irregular convolutlons are wldespread among theMonterey rocks, especlally the finest-grainecl and most shaley lypes. Some of lheseflexures trend east to southeast and appear to be drag features systematically related tothe larger-scale folding in the area. Most, however, reflect no consistent form or trend,range in scale from inches to only a few feet, and evidently are conlined to relatively softrocks that are flanked by intervals of harder end more massive strala, They constitutecrudely tabular zones of contorlion within which individual rock layers can be lraced forshort distances but rarely are cont'nuous throughoutthe deformed ground.Some of this contoion appears to have derived from slumping and sliding ofunconsoliclated sediments on lhe Miocene sea floor during accumulation of theMonterey section. Most of lt, in contrast, plainly oocurred at much laler times,presumably after oonversion of the sediments to sedimentary rocks, and lt can be mostreadily attributed to highly localized deformation during the ancient folding of a sectionthat comprses rocks with oontrasting degrees of struotural oompetenoel 2.s.21,2,4.3 FausNumerous feults with total displacemenls ranging from a few inches to several feet ctttthe exposed Monterey rocks.

Thesandstone ranges from light gray through buff to light reddish brown, from silty tomarkedly tutfaceous, and from thin-bedded and platy to massive. The distribution andthickness of beds can be readily appralsed from sections along Trenches A and B(Figure 2,5-12) that show nearly all individual bedding surfaces that could be recognizedon the ground.The sandstone ranges from very hard to moderately soft, and some of lt feels slightlypunky when struck with a pick. All of it is, however, firm and very compac,t. ln general,the most platy parts of the sequence are also the hardest, but the soundest rock in thearea is almost masslve sandstone of the kind that underlies the site of the intendedreactor structure. This rock is well exposed on the nearby hillslope adjoining the mainterrace area, where it has been markedly resistant to erosion and stands out as distinctlow ridges.Tuff, consisting chiefly of altered volcanic glass, forms irregular sills and dikes ln severalparts of the bedrock section. This material, generally light gray to buff, is compact butdistinctly softer than the enclosing sandstone, lndividual bodies are 112 inch to 4 feetthick, They are locally abundant ln Trench C west of Trench A, and in Trench Asouthward beyond the end of the section in Figure 2.5'12. They are very rare or absentin Trenches B and D, and in the easterly parts of Trench C and the northerly parts ofTrench A. These volcanic rocks probably are related to the Obispo Tuff as describedearlier, but all known masses of typical Obispo rocks in this area lie at considerabledistances west and south ofthe ground occupied by lhe trenches.2.

Thus, the bedrock beneath the powerplant site evidently lies on the southerly flank of the major syncline noted and describedearlier.

Allprominent fractures and many of the minor and discontinuous ones aro shown in thesections of Figure 2.5-12. Also shown in these sections are all recog-ized slip joints,shear surfaces, and faults, i.e., all surfaces along which the bedrock has been2.5-40LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology46 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEdisplaced. Such features are most abundant in Trenches A and C near theirintersection, ln Trench D west of the intersection with Trench A, and near the northerlyend ofTrench B,Most of the surfaces of movemenl are hairllne features with or wlthout thin films of clayand/or gypsum, Displacements range from a small fraction of an inch to several inches,The other surfaces are more prominent, with well-defined zones of gouge and fine-grained breccia ordinarily 1/8 inch or less in thickness. Such zones were obserued toreach a maximum thlckness of nearly l12inch along two small faults, but onty as locallenses or pockets. Exposures were not sufficiently extensive in three dimensions fordefinitely determining the magnltude of slip along lhe more prominent faults, but all ofthese breaks appeared to be mlnor features. lndeed, no expressions of major faultingwere recognized in any of the trenches despite oareful search, and the continuousbedrock exposures precluded the possibility that such features could have been readilyoverlooked.A northeast-trending fault that appears on the sea cliff at the mouth of Diablo Canyonprojects toward the ground in the northernmost part of the power plant site, as noted ina foregoing section. No zone of breaks as prominent as this one was identified ln thetrench exposures, and any d'stinct northeastward continuation of the fault wouldnecessarily lie north of the trenched ground. Alternatively, this fault might well separatenortheaslward into several smaller faults; some or all of these could correspond to someor all of the breaks mapped in the northerly parts of Trenches A and B.3. Terrace DeposdsMarine terrace deposits of Pleistocene age form a cover, generally 2 to 5 feet thick, overthe bedrock that l'es beneath the power plant s'te, This cover was observed to becontinuous in Trench C and the northerly part of Trench A, and to be nearly continuousin the other two trenches, lts lithology is highly variable, and includes bouldery rubble,loose beach sand, pebbly silt, silty to clayey sand with abundant shell fragments, andsoft clay derived from underlying tuffaceous rocks, Nearly all of these deposlts are atleast sparsely fossiliferous, and, in a few places, they consist mainly of shells and shellfragments, Vertebrate fossils, chiefly vertebral and rib materials representing largemarine mammals, are present locally; recognized occurences are designated by thesymbol X ln the sections of Figure 2.5-12.At the easterly ends of Trenches C and D, the marine deposits lntergrade andintertongue in a landward direction with thicker and coarser accumulations of poorlysorted debris, This material evidently ls talus that was formed along the base of anancient sea cliff or other shoreline slope. ln some places, the maririe deposits areoverlain by nonmarine terrace sediments with a sharp break, but elsewhere the contactbetween these two kinds of deposits is a dark colored zone, a few inches to as much as2 feet thick, that appears to represent a soll developed on the marine section,Fragments of these soily materials appear here and there in the basal parts of thenonmarine section,2,5-41LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology47 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe nonmarine sediments that were exposed in Trenches B, C, and D and ln thesource, the ancient mouth of Diablo Canyon,Slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, which constitute the youngest major element ofthe tenace section, overlie the alluvial fan gravels and locally are interlayered with them.\Mere the gravels are absent, as in the southerly part of Trench A, this younger ooverrests directly upon bedrock. lt is loose and uncompacted, internally chaotic, and iscomposed of fragments of Monterey rocks in an abundant dark colored clayey matrix.All the terrace deposits are soft and unconsolidated, and hence are much less resistantto erosion than is the underlying bedrock.

The smll-scaleirregularities, generally 3 feet or less in vertical extent, including knob, spine, and rib like2,5_42LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology48 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEprojections and various wave-scoured pits, crevices, notches, and channels, Theupward projections clearly correspond to relatively hard, resistant beds or parts of bedsln the sandstone section. The depressions conslstently mark the posltions of relativelysoft silty or shaley sandstone, of very soft tuffaceous rocks, or of extensively jointedrocks. The surface traces of most faults and some of the most prominent joints are insharp depressions, some of them wlth overhanging walls, All these irregularities ofdetail have modern analogues that can be recognized on the bedrock bench now beingcut along the margins of Diablo Cove,The interface between bedrock and overlying surficial deposits is of particular interest inthe trenched area because it provides information concernlng the age of youngest faultmovements wlthin the bedrock section. This interface ls nowhere offset by faultsrevealed in the trenches, but instead has been developed inegularly across these faultsafter their latest movements. The consistency of thls general relationship wasestablished by highly detailed tracing and inspection of the contact as freshly exhumedby scaling of the trench walls, Gaps in exposure of lhe interface necessarily weredeveloped at the bur intersections of trenches; at these localities, the bedrock wascarefully laid bare so that alljolnts and faults could be recognized and traced along thetrench floors to points where their relationships with the exposed interface could bedetermined.Corroborative evidence conoerning the age of the most recent fault displacementsstems from the marine deposits that overlie the bedrock benoh and form the basal partof the terrace section. That these deposits rest without break across the traces of faultsin the underlying bedrock was shown by the continuity of individual sedimentary bedsand lenses that could be clearly recognized and traced.Further, some of the faults are directly capped by individual boulders, cobbles, pebbles,shells, and fossil bones, none of which have been affected by fault movements, Thus,the most recent fault displacements in the plant site area occurred prior to marineplanation of the bedrock and deposition of the overlying terrace sediments. As pointedout earlier, the age of the most recent faulting in this area is therefore at least 80,000years and more probably at least 120,000 years, lt mlght be mlllions of years.I A.S.z+.z.s.e Exploratory Trenchlng Program, Unlt 2 SiteEight additional trenches were out beneath the main terrace surface south of DiabloCanyon (Figure 2.5-13) in order to extend the scope of subsurface exploration toinclude all ground in the Unit 2 plant site. As in the area of the Unit 1 plant site, thetrenches formed two groups; those ln each group were parallel with one another andwere oriented nearly normal to those of the other group. The excavations'pertinent tothe Unit 2 plant site can be briefly identifed as follows:1.

Trench F.J,240 feet long, was a southerly extenslon of older Trench BE(originally designated as Trench B),b, Trench WU, 1300 feet long, extended southward from Trnch DG(originally designated as Trench D), and lts northerly part lay about 65 feeteast of Trench EJ. The northernmost 485 feet of this trench was mappedin connection with the Unit 2 trenching program.c. . Trench MV, 700 feet long, lay about 190 feet east of Trench WU. Thenorthernmost 250 feet of this trench was mapped in connection with theUnit 2 trenching program.d. Trench AF (originally designated as Trench A) was mapped earlier inconnection with the detailed study of the Unit 1 plant site. A section forthis trench, which lay about 140 feet west of Trench EJ, was included withothers in the report on the Unit 1 trenching program.2. East-nothoast AlignmentTrench KL, about 750 feet long, lay 180 feet south of Trench DG(originally designated as Trench D) and crossed Trenches AF, EJ, andWU.Trench NO, about 730 feet long, lay 250 feet south of Trenoh KL andcrossed Trenches AF, WU, and MV.These trenches, or parts thereof, covered the area intended for the Unlt 2 power plantconstruction, and the intersection of Trenches \A/U and KL coino"ded in position with thecenter of the Unit 2 nuclear reactor structure.All five additional trenches, throughout their: aggregate length of nearly half a mile,revealed a section of surf"cial deposlts and underlying Monterey bedrock tha!corresponded to the two-ply sequence of surficial deposits and Monterey strata exposedin the older trenches and along the sea cliff in nearby Diablo Cove, The trenchesranged in depth from 10 feet (or less along their approach ramps) to nearly 35 feet, andall had sloping sides that gave way downward to essentially vertical walls in the bedrockencountered 3lo 22 feet above their floors, To facilitate detailed geologic mapping, theeasterly walls of Trenches EJ, WU, and MV and the southerly walls of Trenches KL andNO were trimmed to near-vertical slopes extending upward from the trench floors tolevels well above the top of bedrock. These walls subsequently were scaled back bymeans of hand tools in order to provide fresh, clean exposures prior to mapping of thecontact between bedrock and overlying unconsolidated materlals.The geologic sections shown in Figures 2,5-12 and 2.5-13 correspond in position to thevertical portions of the mapped trench walls. Relationships exposed at higher levels onsloping portions of the trench walls have been projected to the vertical planes of thesections. Centerlines of intersec'ting trenches are shown for convenience, but the2,5-44LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSelsmology and Geologya,b50 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATplanes of the gologic seations do not contain lhe centerlines of the respectvetrenches,3. BedrockThe bedrock that was continuously exposed in the lowest parts of all the Bxploatorylrenches lies wlthin a part of the Monterey Formation charac!rized by a preponderanceof sandstone, lt conesponds to the portion of the section that crops out along the seaclifi southward from the mouth of Diablo Canyon. The sandstone is light to mediumgray where fresh, and light gray to buff and reddish brown where weathered. lt ranges, from silty to markedly tuffaceous, with tuffaceous units tending to dominate southwardI and southwestward from the central parts of the trenched area (refer lo** geologicsecton in Figure 2.5-13), Much of the sandstone is thin-bedded and platy, but the mostsiliceous parts of the sectlon are characterlzed by a strata a foot or more in thickness.lndivldual beds commonly are well deflned by adjacent thin layers of more sllly nraterial.Bedding is less distinct in the more luffaceoug parts of the section, some of which seemto !e almost massive. These rocks typically are broken by numerous tight fracturesdisposed at high angles to one another so llrat, where weathered, their appearance isooarsely blocky rather than layered.As broadly indicated in the geologic seclions, the sandstone ranges from very hard tomoderately sofl, and some of lt feels slightly punky when struck with a piok. All of lt,however, is firrn and very compacl ln general, the most platy parts of the sequence arerelatively hard, but the hardest and soundest rock in the area is lhicK-bedded to almostmassive sandstone of the kind at and lmmediately north of the site for the intendedreactor structure. This resistant rocK is well exposed as distinct low ridges on thenearby hillslope adjoining the main tenace area,Tuff, consisting chiefly of altered volcanic glass, is abundant within the bedrock section.Also widely scattered, !ut much less abundant, is tuff breccia, consisting typieally ofsmalt fragmante of older tuff, pumlce, or Monterey rocks in a matrix of fresh to alteredvolcanic glass. These materials, which form sllls, dikes, and highly iregular intrusivernasses, are generally light gray to buff, gritty, and compact but distinctly softer llranmuch of the enclosing sandstone- lndividual lrodies range from stringers less than aquarter of an lnch thick to bulbous or mushroom-shaped masses with maximumexposed dimensions measured ln tens of feet. As shown on the geologic sectlons, theyare abundant in all tlre trenches.These volcanic rocks probably are related to the Obispo Tuff, large masses of which arewefl exposed west and south of the trenched ground.

Bedrock StructureThe stratification of the Monterey rocks dips northward wherever it was observable inthe trenches, in general, at angles of45 to 85", The steepness of dip increasesprogressively from north to south in the trenched ground, a relationship also noted alongthe sea cliff southward from the mouth of Diablo Canyon. Thus, the bedrock beneaththe power plant site evidently lies on the southerly flank of the major syncline that wasdescribed previously. Zones of convolution and other expressions of locally intensefolding were not recognized, and they probably are much less common in this generalpart of the section than in other (previously described) parts that lnclude intervals ofsofter and more shaley rocks.Much of the sandstone is traversed by fractures. Planar, curving, and lrregular surfacesare well represented, and in places they are abundant and closely spaced, Allprominent'fractures and nearly all of the minor and discontinuous ones are shown onthe geologic sec{ions (Figure 2,5-13). Also shown ln these sections are all recognlzedshear surfaces, faults, and other discontinuities along which the bedrock has been .displaced, Such features are nowhere abundant in the trench exposures,Most of the surfaces of movement are hairl'ne breaks with or without thin films of clay,calclte, and/or gypsum, Displacements range from a small fraction of an inch to severalinches, A few other surfaces are more prominent, with well-defined zones of fine,grained breccia and/or infilling mineral material ordinarily 1/8 inch or less in thickness,Such zones were observed to reach maximum thicknesses of 3/8 to 1/2 inch alongthree small faults, but only as local lenses or pockets,Exposures are not sufficiently extensive in three dimensions for definitely determiningthe magnitude of slip along allthe faults, but for most of them it is plainly a few lnches orless. None of them appears to be more than a minor break in a bedrock section thathas been folded on a large scale. lndeed, no expres'sions of major faulting wererecognized in any ofthe trenches despite careful search, and the continuous bedrockexposures preclude the posslbility that such features could be readily overlooked.Most surfaces of past movement probably were active during times when the Montereyrooks were being deformed by folding, when rupture and some differential movementswould be expected ln a section comprising such markedly differing rook gpes, Some ofthe fault displacements may well have been older, as attested in two places byrelationships involving small faults, the Monterey rocks, and tuff.ln Trench \tVU south of Trench KL, for example, sandstone beds were seen to havebeen offset about a foot along a small fault, A thin sill of tuff occupies the samestratigraphic horizon on opposite sides of this fault, but the slll has not been displacedby the fault. lnstead, the tuff occupies a short segment of the fault to effect the slight jogbetween its positions in the strata on either side, lntrusion of the tuff plainly postdatedall movements along this fault,LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology2.54652 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE5, Terrace Depos/lsMarine terrace deposlts of Pleistocene age fornr cover6, generally 2 to 5 feet thick, butlocally as much as 12feet lhiok, over lhe bedrock that lies beneath the Unlt 2 plant site.These covers were observed to be continuous in some parts of all the trenches, andthin and cliscontinuous in a few other parts. Elsewhere, the marine sediments wereabsent altogether, as in the lower.and more southerly prts of Trenches EJ and WU andin the lower and more westedy pas of Trenches KL and NO.The range in lilhology of these deposits is considerable, and includes bouldery rubble,gravel composed of well-rounded fragments ol shells ancl/or Monterey rocks, beachsand, loose accumulations of shells, pebbly silt. silty to clayey sand wilh abundant shellfragments, and soft clay derived from underlying tuffaceous rocks. Nearly all of thedeposits are at least sparsely fossiliferous, ancl many of them contain little other thanshell material. Vertebrate fossils. chiefly vertebral and rlb materials representing largemarin mmmls, are present locally.The trenches'in and near the site of lhe reactor structure exposed a !uried narrow ridgeof hard bedrock that once projected westward as a bold promontory along an ancientsea coast, probably at a time when sea level corresponded approximately to the presentI t OO toot contour (rnfer tose+ Figure 2.6-i 1) Along the flanks of this prornontory andthe face of an adjoining buried sea cliff that extends southeastward through lhe area inwhich Trenches MV and NO intersected, the marine deposits intergrade and intertonguewith lhicker and coarser accumulations of poorly sorted debris.

The clltf itself was not exposed,however, as it lies slightly beyond the limits of lrenching.ln many places, the marine covers are overlain by younger nonmarine terracsediments wlth a sharp break, but elsewhere lhe contact between these two kinds oldeposits is a zone of dark colored material, a few inches to as much as 6 feet thick, thatrspresents weathering and development of soils on the marine sections. Fragments ofthese soily materials are presenl here and there in the basal parts of the nonmarinesection. Over large areas, the porous marine deposits have been cliscolored throughinfiltration by fine-grained materials der'ved from the overlying ancienl soils.The nonmarine accumulations, which form the predominant fraction of lhe entire terracecover, consist mainly of slump, creep, and slope-wash debris that is characteristicallyloose. uncompacted, and internally chaotic. These relatively dark colored deposits arefine grained and clayey, but they contain sparse to very abundant fragments ofMonterey rocks generally ranging from less than an inch lo about 2 feet in maximunl2.5-47LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeisnrology and GeologyEdlted for Clarlty - R¿fer toApplcBbllty Delerrninalion#7Matr' ltem53 DCPP UNITS I & 2 FSAR UPDATEdimqnsion. Toward Diablo Canyon they overlie and, in places, intertongue with silty todayy gravels that are ancient -ontrbuiions from Diabl- Creek when it flowed at levelsmuch higher than its present one, These "dirty" alluvial deposits appeared only in themost northerly parts of the more recently trenched tenace area, and they are notdistinguished from other parts of the nonmarine cover on the geologlc sections(Figure 2.5-13),All the terrace deposits are soft and unconsolidated, and hence are much less resistantto erosion than is the underlying bedrock. Those appearing along the walls of theexploratory trenches showed some tendency to wash and locally to rill when exposed toheavy rainfall, but little slumping and no gross failure were noted in the trenches.6. lnterface Between Bedrock and Sut'fical DaposifsAs exposed continuously in the exploratory trenches, the contact between bedrock andoverlying terrace deposits represents two wave-cut platforms and intervening slopes, allof Pleistocene age. The broadest surface of ancient marine erosion ranges in altitudefrom 60 to 105 feet, and its shoreward margin, at the base of an ancient sea cliff, liesuniformly within 5 feet of the 100 foot contour, A higher, older, and less extensivemarne platform ranges in altitude.from 130 to 145 feet, and most of it lies within theranges of 135 to 140 feet, As noted previously, these are two of several wave-cutbenches in this coastal area, each of which terminates eastward against a cliff or steepshoreline slope and westward at the upper rim of a similar but younger slope.Available exposures indicate that the configurations of the erosional platforms aremarkedly similar, over a wide range of soales, to that of the platform now being cutapproximately at sea level along the present coast. Grossly viewed, they slope verygently in a seaward (westerly) direction and are marked by broad, shallow channels andby upward projections that must have appeared as low spines and reefs when thebenches were being formed. The most prominent reefs, which rise from a few inches toabout 5 feet above neighboring parts of the bench surfaces, are composed of hard,thick-bedded sandstone that was relatively resistant to ancient wave erosion,As shown in the geologic sections (Figure 2.5-13), the surfaces of the platforms arenearly planar in some places but elsewhere are highly inegular in detail. The smallscale irregularities, generally 3 feet or less in vertical extent, include knob-, spine-, andrib-like projections and various wave-scoured plts, notches, orevices, and channels,Most of the upward projections closely correspond to relatively hard, resistant beds orparts of beds in the sandstone section, The depressions consistently mark the positionsof relatively soft silty or shaley sandstone, of very soft tuffaceous rocks, or of extensivelyjointed rocks. The surface traces of most faults and some of the most prominent jointsare in sharp depressions, some of them with overhanging walls, All these irregularitiesof detail have modern analogues that can be recognized on the bedrock bench nowbeing cut along the margins of Diablo Cove.The inierface between bedrock and overlying surficial deposits provides informationconcerning the age of youngest fault movements within the bedrock seotion. Thisinterface is nowhere offset by faults that were exposed in the trenches, but instead has2,548LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology54 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEbeen developed irregularly across the faults after their latest movements. Theconsistency of this general relatlonship was establlshed by hlghly detailed tracing andinspection of the contact as freshly exhumed by scallng of the trench walls, Gaps inexposure of the interface necessarily were developed at the intersections of trenches asin the exploralion at the Unit 1 site. At such localities, the bedrock was carefully laidbare so that alljoints and faults could be recognized and traced along the trench floorsto points where their relationships with the exposed interface could be determined,Corroborative evidence concerning the age of the most recent fault displacementsstems from the marine deposits that overlie the bedrock bench and form a basal part ofthe terrace section. That these deposits rest without break across the traces of faults inthe underlying bedrock was shown by the continuity of individualsedimentary beds andlenses that could be clearly reoognized and traced. As in other parts of the site area,some of the faults are directly capped by individual boulders, cobbles, pebbles, shells,and fossil bones, none of which have ben affected by fault movements, Thus, themost recent fault displacements in the plant slte area occurred before marine planationof the bedrock and deposition of the overlying tenace sediments.The age of the most recent faulting in this area is therefore at least 80,000 years. Moreprobably, it is at least 120,000 years, the age most generally asslgned to these terracedeposits along other parts of the California coastline. Evidence from the higher benchin the plant site area indicates a much older age, as the unfaulted marine deposits thereare considerably older than those that occupy the lower bench corresponding to the100 foot terrace. Moreover, it can be noted that ages thus determined for most recentfault displacements are minlmal rather than absolute, as the latest faulting actually couldhave occuned millions of years ago.During the Unlt 2 exploratory trenching program, specialattention was directed to thoseexposed parts of the wave-cut benches where no marine deposlts are present, andhence where there are no overlying reference materals nearly as old as the benchesthemselves, At such places, lhe bedrock beneath each bench has been weathered todepths ranging from less than 1 inch to at least l0 feet, a feature that evidentlycorresponds to a lengthy period of surface exposure from the time when the bench wasabandoned by the sea to the time when lt was covered beneath encroaching nonmarlnedeposits derived from hillslopes to the east,Stratification and other structural features are clearly recognizable in the weatheredbedrock, and lhey obviously have exercised some degree of control over localization ofthe weathering, Moreover, in places where upward p"ojections of bedrock have beengradually bent or rotationally draped in response to weathering and creep, theircontalned fractures and surfaces of movement have been correspondingly bent,Nowhere in such a section that has been disturbed by weathering have the materialsbeen cut by younger fractures that would represent straight upward projections ofbreaks in the underlying fresh rocks. Nor have such fractures been observed in any ofthe overlying nonmarine terrace cover.LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology2.5-4955 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThus, the minimum age of any fault movement in the plant site area is based oncompatlble evidence from undlsplaced reference features of four kinds: (a) Pleistocenewave-cut benches developed on bedrock, (b) immediately overlying marine deposits. that are very slightly younger, (c) zones of weathering that represent a considerableI span of subsequent time, and (d) younger terrace deposits of nonmarine origin.I iz.s.z+.2.s.1. Bedrock Geology of the Plant Foundatlon ExcavatlonsBedrock was continuously exposed ln the foundation excavations for major structuralcomponents of Units 1 and 2, Outlines and inved elevations of these large openings,which ranged in depth from about 5 to nearly 90 feet below the original ground surface,are shown in Figures 2.5-15 and 2.5-16. The complex pattern of straight and curvedwalls with various positions and orientations provided an excellent three-dimensionalrepresentation of bedrock structure. These walls were photographed at large scales asconstruction progressed, and the photographs were used directly as a geologicmapping base. The largest excavations also were mapped in debil on a surveyedplanimetric base.Geologic mapping of the plant excavations confirmed the conclusions based on earlierinvestigations at the site. The exposed section of Monterey strata was found tocorrespond in lithology and structure trc what had been predicted from exposures at themouth of Diablo Canyon, along the sea cliffs in nearby Diablo Cove, and in the testtrenches, Thus, the plant foundation ls underlain by a moderately to steeply north-dipping sequence of thin to thick bedded sandy mudstone and fine-grained sandstone.The rocks at these levels are generally fresh and competent, as they lie below the zoneof intense near-surfaoe weathering,Several thin interbeds of claystone were exposed in the southwestern part of the plantsite in the excavations for the Unit 2 turbine-generator building, intake conduits, andoutlet struclure. These beds, which generally are less than 6 inches thick, are distinctlysofter than the flanking sandstone, Some of them show evldence of intemal shearing,Layers of tuffaceous sandstone and sills, dikes, and inegular masses of tuff and tuffbreccia are present in most parts of the foundation area. They tend to increase inabundance and thickness toward the south, where they are relatively near the largemasses of Obispo Tuff exposed along the coast south of the plant site,Some of the tuff bodies are conformable with the enclosing sandstone, but others aremarkedly discordant. Most are clearly intrusive. lndividual masses, as exposed ln theexcavations, range in thickness from less than 1 lnch to about 40 feet, The tuff breccia,which ls less abundant than the tuff, consists typically of small fragments of older tuff,pumice, or Monterey rocks ln a matrlx of fresh to highly altered volcanic glass, At thelevels of exposure 'n the excavations, both the tuff and tuff breccia are somewhat sotterthan the enclosing sandstone.2.5-50LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and GeologyEdlted for Clarlty - Revlsed SectlonNumbor56 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe stratification of the Mo-terey rocks dips generally northward throughout the plantfounc,lation area. Steepness of dips inoreases progressively and, in places, sharply fromnorlh to south, ranging from 10 to 15" on lhe north side of Unil 1 to 75 to 80'in lhe areaof Unit 2. A local reversal in direction of dip reflects a small ope fold or warp ln theUnit 1 area. The axis ol this fold ls parallel to the overall strike of the bedding, andstrata on the north limb dip eouthward at angles of 10 to 15'. The more generalsteepening of dips from north to south may reflect btrttressing by the large masses ofObispo Tuff south of the plant slle.The bedrock of the plant area is traversed throughout by fractures, including variousplanar, broadly curving, and irregular breaks, A dom"nant sel of steeply dipping tovertical joints trends northerly, nearly normal to the strike of bedding. Other joints arediverseiy oriented with strikes ln various directions and dips ranging from 10" to vertical.Many fractures curve abruptly, terminate against other breaks. or die out within singlebeds or groups of beds.Most of the joints are widely spaced, ranging from about 1 to 10 leet aparl, but wlthinsevaral northerly trending zones, ranging in wldth from 10 to 20 faet, closely spacednear vertical fractures give the rocks a blocky or platy appearance, The fracture andioint surfaces are predominantly clean and tighl, although some irregular ones are thinlycoated with clay or gypsum, Others could be traced into lhin zones of breccia withcalcite cement.Several small faults were mapped in the foundation excavations for Unit 1 and the outletstructure, A detaled discusslon of these breaks and their relationship to faults that weremapped earlier along the sea cllff and in the exploratory trenches is included in thefollowing section.I z,s,z+,z.s.a Relationships of Faults and Shea SurfacesSeveral subparallel breaks are recognizable on the sea cliff immediately south of DiabloCanyon, where they transect moderately thick-bedded sandstone of the kind exposed inthe exploratory trenches to the east. These breaks are nearly cuncordant wilh theI Uedrock stratification but, in general, they dip more steeply (refer trx'e* detaileclstruc-ture section, Figure 2.5-14) ancl trond more northerly than the stralification, Theirlrend differs sign'ficantly from much of their mapped trace, as the trace of each inclineclsurface is markedly affec'ted by the local steep topography. The indicated trend, whichprojects eastward toward ground north of the Unit 1 reactor slte, has been summedfrom numerous indiviclual measurements of strike on the sea clifi exposures, and ll alsocorresponds to the traoe of the main break as observed in nearly horizontal outcropwithin the tidal zone west of the cliff.The structure section shows all recognizable surfaces of faulting and shearing in thesea clif that are conlinuous for distances oi 10 feet or more.

The total amounl of movement cannot be determined by any directmeans, but it probably is not more than a few tens of feet and could well be less than10 feet. This ls suggesled by the following observed features;(1) All individual breaks are sharp and narrow, and the strata between themare essentially undeformed except for thoir gross inclination,(2) Some breaks plainly die out as traced upward along the cliff suace, andothers merge w"th adjoin"ng !reaks. At lesst one well"dEfined broak buttsdownward againl a crŽss-break, wh"ch in turn butfs upward against abreak that branches snd dies out approximately 20 feet away (ru.{er proeelructure Žection, Figure 2.5-14, for details).(3) Nearly all the breaks ourve moderatly to abruptly in the general directionof movement along them,(4) Most of the breaks are little more than knife-edge fealures afong whichrock is in direct contact with rock, and others are marked by thin flms ofgouge. Maxlmum thlckness of gouge anywhero observed ls aboul112inch, and such exceptional ocurrences are conf"ned to shorl curvingsegments of the main break at the southerly margin of the zone.(5) No fault breccia is present: instoed, the zone represents transection ofotherwise undefonned rocks by sharply-def"ned breaks. No bedrock unitis cut off and juxtaposed against a unit of different lithology along any ofthe breaks.(6) Local prorninence of the exposed breaks, and especially the main one. isclue to slickensides, surface coatings of gypsum, and iron-oxide stainsrather than to any features reflecting large-scale movements.This zone of faulting cannot be regarded as a major tectonic elemenl, nor is it the kindof feature normally essociated with the generation of earthquakes. lt appears lnstead toreflect second-order rupturing related to a rnarked change in d'p of strata to lhe and its general sense of movement is what one would expect if the breaks weredeveloped duríng folding of the Monterey section against what amounts to a broadI buttress of Obispo Tuff farther south (r eler l')o4 geofogic map, Figure 2.5-8). That thefault and shear movements were ancient is positively indisated by upward truncation ollhe zone at the bench of marine eroslon along the base of lhe overlylng terracedeposits,As lndicated earlier, bedrock was conlinuously exposed along several exploratorytrenches.

From results of thesestudies, together with data pertaining to lhe lrroader aapects of the geology andseismicity of central and eastern Callforn'a, il can be concluded that, allhough thesouthern Coast Ranges region may be subjected to vibratory ground motion fromearthquakes originating along faults as distant as 200 miles or more, the region itself islraversed by faults capable of producing large earthquakes, and thal the strongestshaking possible for sltes within lhe region probably woutd be caused by earthquakesno more than a few tens of miles away. Therefore, only the seismicity of the southernCoast Ranges, the adjacent offshore area, and the western Transverse Ranges isreviewed in detail.Figure 2.5-3 shows three principal concentratlons of earthquake epicenters, threesmaller or more dlffuse areas of actlvlty, and a scattering of other epicenters, forr:arlhguœ1,.r:" recorded lhft"ugh 1972.

Theplanl site acceleralion wrsis primarily dependent on lhe following parameters:Gutenberg-Richter magnitttcle and released energy, dislance from the earthquake focus, to the plant site, shear and compressional velocities of the rock media, and density ofI the rock. Rock properties are discussed under Section 2,5.2-1 .2.6, Sile EngineeringProperties.I The maximum rock accelerations that would occur at the DCPP site we.rea+ri estimatedas:Earthquake A . , . . 0,10 9 Earlhquake C . . , , 0.05 9Eadhquake B , . . . 0 12 g Earthquake D . . . . 0.20 9ln addition to the maximum aceleration. the frequency distributlon of earthquakemotions is important for comparison of the effects on plant structures and equipment. lngeneral, the parameters affecting the frequency distrlbution are distance, properties ofthe tr.snsmitting mdia, length of faulting, focus depth, and total energy release.Earthquakes that ntight reach the site after traveling over greal distances would lend tohave their high frequency waves filtered out. Earlhquakes that might be centered closeto the site would tend to produce wave forms al the site having minor low frequencycharacteristics.ln order to evaluate the frequency distribution of earlhquakes, the concept of thoresponse spectrum is used,For nearby earthquakes, the resulting response spectra accelerations would peaksharply at shorl periods and would decay rapidly at longer periods. Earthquake D woulclproduce such response spectra. The March 1957 San Francisco earthquake asrecorded in Golden Gate Park (S80"E component) was the same type. lt procluced amaximum recorded ground acceleration of 0.13 g (on rock) at a distance of aboutI miles from the epicenter. Since Earthquake D has an assignecl hypocentral distanceof 12 mlles, it would be expected to produce response speclra similar in shape to thoseof the 1957 event.LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and GeologyEdlled for Clarlly - Revised SeclionNumberAdded for Clarily - New lntroductorypar4qrsph to defin# sub.s#clionconlenl.Addd lor Clarity - New Stb"sectionfor Design EarlhquakaUFSAR Secllon 3.7.1,1Refer to Appllcablllty DelermifiationMalrx ltem # 21Added for Clarfty - Refer toApplicabllity oelerminstion Matrix lten"fl4Ediled lor ClarllyEdlled lor Clarly.

Earthquakes A and C are events that would tendto produce this type of spectra. The intensity of shaking as indicated by the maximumpredicted ground accelerat'on shows that Earthquake C would always have lowerspectral accelerations than Earthquake A,Since the two shocks would have approximately the same shape spectra, Earthquake Cwould always have lower spectral accelerations than Earthquake A, and lt is thereforeeliminated from further consideralion. The north-south component of the 1940 ElCentro earthquake produced response spec'tra that emphasized the long periodcharacteristics descrlbed above. Earthquake A, because of lts distance from the plantsite, would be expected to produce response spectra similar in shape to those producedby the El Centro event, Smoothed response spectra for Earthquake A were constructedby normalizing the El Centro spectra to 0.10 g. These spectra, however, show smalleraccelerations than the corresponding spectra for Earthquake B (discussed in the nextparagraph) for all building periods, and thus Earthquake A is also eliminated fromfurther consideration,Earthquake B would tend to produce response spectra that emphasize the intermediateperiod range inasmuch as the epicenter ls not close enough to the plant site to producelarge high frequency (short-perod) effecls, and it is too close to the slte and too small inmagnitude to produce large low frequency (long-perlod) effects, The N69"Wcomponent to the 1952 Taft earthquake produced response spectra having suchcharacteristics. That shock was therefore used as a guide in establishing the shape ofthe response spectra that would be expected for Earthquake B.Following several meetings with the AEC staff and their consultants, the following twomodifications were made in order to make the criteria more conservative:(1) The Earthquake D time-hlstory was modified 'n order to obtain bettercontinuity of frequency distribution between Earthquakes D and B.(2) The accelerations of Earthquake B were increased by 25 percent in orderto provide the required margin of safety to compensate for possibleuncertainties in the basic earthquake data.Accordingly, Earthquake D-modified was derived by modlfying the S80"E component ofthe 1957 Golden Gale Park, San Francisco earthquake, and then normalizing to amaximum ground acceleration of 0.20 g. Smoothed response spectra for thisearthquake are shown in Figure 2.5-21 . Likewise, Earthquake B was derived bynormalizing the N69'W component of the 1952 Taft earthquake to a maximum groundacceleration of 0,15 g. Smoothed response spectra for Earthquake B are shown inFigure 2.5-20.

The USGS also recomnrended that an effectlve, rather thaninstrumental, acoeleration be derived for seismic analysis.The NRC adopted the USGS rEcommendation of the seismic potential of the Hosgrifault. ln addition, based on the recommendation of Dr. N, M. Newmark, the NRCprescribed that an effective horizontal ground acceleration of 0.759 be used for thedevelopment of response spectra to be employed in a seismic evaluation of the plant.The NRC oullined prooedures considered appropriate for the evaluation including anadjustmenl of the response spectra to account for the filtering effect of the lae buildingfoundations.

The nearesto'!producing area is the Arroyo Grande field, about 15 m'les to the southeast,The potential for future problems of ground instability at the site, because of nearbypetroleum produclion, can be assessed in terms of the geologic potential for theoccurrence of oil within, or offshore from, the San Luis Range. ln addition, assessmentcan be made in terms of the geologic relationshlps in the slte as contrasted wlthgeologic oonditions in places where oil field exploitation has resulted in deformation ofthe ground surface.As shown in Figures 2.5.6 and 2.5-7, the San Luis Range has the structural form of abroad synclinal fold, which in turn is made up of several tightly compressed anticlinesand synclines of lesser order. The configuration is not conducive to entrapment ofhydrocarbon fluids, as such fluids tend to migrate upward through bedd'ng andfracture-controlled zones of higher primary and secondary pormeabllity until they reacha local trap or escape into the near surface or surface environment.\/ithin the San Luis Range, the only recognizable structural traps are in local zoneswhere plunge reversals exist along the crests of the second-order anticlines. Suchstructures evidently were the actual or hoped-for targets for most of the exploratorywells that have been drilled in the San Luis Range, but none of these wells hasproduced enough oil or gas to record; lhus, the traps have not been effective, orperhaps the strata are essentially lacking in hydrocarbon fluids. Other conditions thatindicate poor petroleum prospects forthe Range include the general absence ofgood reservoir rocks wlthin the section and the relatively shallow basement of nonpetroliferous Franciscan rocks.ln the offshore, adjacent to the southerly flank of the San Luis Range, subsuffaceconditions are not well known, but are probably generally similar, Scattered datasuggest that a structural high, perhaps defined by a west-northwest plunging anticline,may exist a few miles offshore from DCPP site.

Suchdeformation includes tJifferential subs'dence, development ol horizontally compresslvestrain effeots within the central parts of subsidence bowls and horizontally extengivestrain effects around their margins, and development or activation of oracks and faults.Pullapart cracks and normal faults may develop in the merginal zone of extensivestrain, whlle reverse and thrust fuults sometimes occur in the central, compresslve partof subsidence bowls, These effects all can develop when extraction of petroleum,water, and sand, plus lowering of fluid pressures, result in compression within andadjacent to producing zones, and ettendant subsidence of the overlying ground. Othereffects, including rebound of the ground surface, fault activation, and oarthquakegenerat'on, have resulted from injection of fluid inlo the ground for purposes ofsecondary r!covery, subsidence control, and disposal of fluid waste.ln virtually all instances of ground-surfaoe deformatlon associated wlth petroleumproc{uclion, the producing field has been centered on an anticfinal structure, in generalrelatively broad and intemally faulted. The strata in the producing and ovellying parts ofthe section typically are poorly consolidatecl sandetone, slltstone, claystone, and shaleof low structural competence. Tlre field generally is one wlth relatlvely large production,wlth significant decline of fluid pressure ln the producing zones.The conditions just ciled can be contrastecl with those obtained in the vicinity of DCPPsite, where the rocts lie along the flank of a major ayncline. They consist of tightsandstone, tuffaceous sandstone, mudstone, and shale, together wlth large resistanlmsses of tuft and clia"ase. Bedding clips range from near horizontal to verlical andsteeply overturned, as shown in Section D-D' of Figure 2.5-7 and Section A-B otFigure 2.5-10. This structural selling is unl'ke eny reported from areas whereoil"fieíd-associated surface deformation has occuned,The foregoing discussion leads to the following conclusions: (a) future development ofa producing oil fielcl in the vicinity of DCPP site is hlghly unlikely because of unfavorablegeologic conditions, nd (b) geologic conditions in the s'te vicinity are not conducive tothe occurrence of srtrface deformation, even if nearby petroleum production could beachievecl.As was noted in Section 2.4, the rocks underlying the site do not constitute a signil"cantgroundwater reservoi, so that future development of deep rock water wells ln thevicinity is not a reasonable possibility. The considerations pertaining to surfacedeformation resulting from water extraction are about the same as for petroleumexlraction, so there is no likelihood that DCPP site could experience artificially inclucedand polentially damaging subsidence, uplift, collapse, or changes in subsllrfaceeffective stress related to pore pressLrre phnon"ena,LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeisnrology and GeologyEdiled for Conslslen(y2.5-7682 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATETlrere are no mineral deposits of oconomic significance ln the ground underlying thesite.Allhough sonre regional warping and upllfr may well be taklng place 'n the southernCoast Ranges, such deformalion cannot be sutficiently rapid and local to imposesignlficant effects on coastel installalions.

No observedfeatures of detormation are large or continuous enough to impose signlficant effects onthe overall performance of the site foundation.The foundation excavations for Units 1 and 2 were extended below the zone of intensenear sudace weathering so that the exposed bedrock was found to be relatively freshand firm The princ'pal zones of structural weal(ness are associated with small bodiesof altered tuff and with internally shearecl beds of claystone, The claystone intra-beclshearwas expressed by the development of numerous slickenslded shear surfaceswithin parts of the beds, especially in places where the claystone had locally beensqueezed lnto pod like masses. The shearing and local squeezing clearly areexpressions of the preferential occurrence of differential adjustments in the relativelyweaker claystone beds durlng foldlng of the secllon.The claystone beds are locatized [n a part of lhe rock section that underlies thedischarge structure and extsncls across the southerly part of the Unit 2turbine-generator building, thence cont'nuing easlerly, along a strike through theground south of the Unit 2 containment. The bedding dips 48 to 75" north wlthin thiszone. lndividttal clayslone beds range from 112 inch to about 6 inches in thickness, andlhey occur as interbeds in the sandstone-mudslone rock section. The relationship of the claystone layers to the foundation excayation is such that theyI crop out in several nerrow bands across the floor ancl walls (refer tqs++ Figures 2,5-i5and 2,5-16). Thus, the claystone bed remalns confined within the rock section, exceptilr a narrow strip at the face of the exoevation. Because of the small amounl ofclaystone mass and the geometrc relationshlp of the steeply dipping claystoneinterbeds to the foundation structures, it was delermined that the finished structurewould nol be affected by any tendency of the clayslone to undergo further changes involume.LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeisrnology and GeologyEdiled lor Clarily - Refer toApplicablty Dotermlnalion Mtrix trern#72,5-7783 DCPP UiJITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe only are ln which Žlaystone swelling was monitored was along the nofth wall of lhelower part ot the large slot cut for the cooling water dlscharge structure.

Based on this evaluation, lt was ooncluded that lhis slope will be stable duringseismic events and that additional loads resulting from permanent deformation of theslope will not impact the bur"ed ASW piping.2.6.7 Long Term Seismic ProgramOn Novenrber 2, 1s84, the NRC issued the Diablo Canyon Unit 1 Facility OperatingLicense DPR-80. tn DPR-80, License Condition ltem 2.C,(7), the NRC stated, in part:"PG&E shall develop and implement a program to reevaluate the seismic designbases used for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant,"PG&E's reevaluation effort in response to the license condition was titled the "LongTerm S PG&E prepared and submitted to the NRC lhe "FinalI Rep.ort g Term Selsmic Program" in July 1988 (ReterenceI 4c,)*. the NRC performed an oxtensive review of the Final, Moved text to Enhanced Seclion2.5.6.1 ,Ediled for Clarlty - Revlsed SeclionNumberAdded for Clarily - New Sub-seclionfor lhe Terfi Selsmic Program.Edited for ConsislencyEdiled for ConsistencyEcliled for ConsistencyEdited for ConslstencyReport, and PG&E prepared and submitted wrilten responses to formal NRC questions.ln February 1991 , PG&E issued the "Addendum to the 1988 Final Report of lhe DiabtoCanyon Long Term Seismic Program" (t"eference 41 )4. ln June 1 9gt , the NRCissued Supplem.ent Number 34 lo lhe Diablo Canyon Safety Evaluation Report (SSER)(Reference 42)tr. in which the NRC concluded that PG&E had satisfied LicenseCondition 2.C.(7) of Facilily Operaling License DFR-80. ln the SSER the NRCrequested certain confirmalory analyses from PG&E, and PG&E subsequentlysubmitted the requested anlyses.

Verification P roject UFSAR Enhancement I nltiatlveLBIE-Applicability Determination ApproachApproach DiscusslonThe primary objective of the Licensing Basis Verification ProJect (LBVP) Updated FinalSafetyAnalysis Report (UFSAR) Enhancement initiative is to modiff the DCPP UFSAR such that itclearly and succinctly states the licensing basis design requirements to which PG&E hascommitted for DCPP and which the U,S. Nuclear Regulatory Comm'sion (NRC) has approved.UFSAR changes are made i- accordance with applicable regulations, DCPP procedures, andindustry/NRC guidance, including the Nuclear Energy lnstitute's (NEl's) Guidelines for UpdatingFinal Safety Analysis Repods (NEl 98-03, Revision 1), NEI's Guidelines for 10 CFR 50,59lmplementafibn (NEl 96-07, Revision 1), and NRC's Standard Format and Content of SafetyAnalysis Reporfs for Nuclear Power Plants (Regulatory Guide [RG] 1 .70, Revision 1). By LBVPdefinition and scope, the project's UFSAR enhancement Change Requests (CRs) involvedocumentation-only changes; any physical changes that are identified as a result of LBVPreview will be done separate from and outside of the LBVP.LBVP-initiated UFSAR CRs will include up to four types of UFSAR changes, as follows:1. Added text (e.9., to explicitly identify the licensing basis design requirements)2. Revised text (e.9., to provide clarification)3, Deleted text (e,9., to remove excessive detail)4. Moved text (e.9., to reorganize existing information to improve reader understanding)Because the LBVP is not changing the physical plant, its design, ts design basis, or its licensingbasis, it is antic'pated that most, 'f not all, of the UFSAR changes will not be subject to 10 CFR50.59 (i.e., Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.59) and the LicensingBasis lmpact Evaluation (LBIE) review process will appropriately terminate at the ApplicabilityDetermination (AD) stage, Any individual change(s) for which the AD concludes that 10 CFR50,59 screening is required will be documented in a separate CR to fac'litate processing,The LBVP will generally submit UFSAR enhancements on a section-by-section basis (or bygroups of sections, as appropriate for the subject). The first LBVP enhancement changerequest, which has been incorporated, addressed Section 3.1 (including subsections, tables,and Appendix 3,14), That section describes DCPP's conformance with AEC/NRC GeneralDesign Criteria (GDCs) and the basic design requirements for plant structures, systems, andcomponents important to safe. The Section 3.1 revision was based on a thorough but generallicensing basis review for the plant. As the LBVP continues the enhancement process, anyconflicts identified between revised Section 3,1 and other sections of the UFSAR will beresolved in accordance with procedure OM7.lD1. The licensing basis review for the UFSARsection(s) that are the subject of th's enhancement CR identified the applicable GDCs andfound no conflicts with UFSAR Section 3.1 (an inconsistent / ambiguous text reference to GDC44,1971was deleted).The specific guidance that is expected to be applicable to disposit'on LBVP-initiated UFSARCRs at the LBIE AD stage includes:103 DCPP Procdure TS,3.lD2, Licensrnq Basls /mpacf Evaluafions:Block 2i lnstructions (Sec. 8.12, Note 2) - "UFSAR changes that can be excluded fromthe requirement to perform a 10 CFR 50,59 ... review include editorial changes,clariflcations to improve reader understanding, ,,. and incorporation of informationapproved by the NRC as a result of a license amendment request or other docketedcorrespondence."r Block 3 on Attachment 1 (AD) Form - "A 10 CFR 50.59 ,.. screen is NOT requiredbecause ALL aspects of the activity .., are covered in full in another LBIE review.":Attachment 2, Section 9,a, sixth bullet - "Examples of editorial non-technical correct'onsallowed (without a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation) include ...

Aopendix A ("Modifuinq the Updated FSAR"):Section A3 - "[A] licensee may elect to reformat the UFSAR to more clearly identify thedesign bases as defined in 10 CFR 50.2."Section A4 - "Licensees may elect to simpl'fy information contained in the UFSAR toimprove its focus, clarity and maintainability. ... Detailed text and drawings may beremoved from the UFSAR to the extent that the information provided exceeds thatnecessary to present the plant design bases, safety analyses and appropriate UFSARdescription. ... The following types of excessively detailed textual information may beremoved from UFSARs, except as indicated by applicable regulatory guidance or NRCSafety Evaluation Reports: [1] Descriptive information that is not important to providingan understanding of the plant's design and operation from either a general or gystemfunctional perspective, [2] Design information that is not important to the description ofthe facility or presentation of its safety analysis and design bases, [3] Design informationthat, if changed during the life of the plant, would have no impact on the ability of plantsystems, structures and components described in the UFSAR to perform their designbasis function(s), [and] [4] Analytical information, e.9., detailed calculations, that is notimportant to providing an understanding of the safety analysis methodology, inputassumptions and results, and/or compliance with relevant regulatory and industrystandards."Section A5 - "Licensees may remove obsolete and redundant information andcommitments from UFSARs."NEI 96-07, Revision 1Section 4.1 .3 - "[M]odifications to the UFSAR that are not the result of activitiesperformed under 10 CFR 50.59 are not subjectto controlunder 10 CFR 50,59, Suchmodifications include reformatting and simplification of UFSAR information and removalaaaao104 of obsolete or redundant information and excessive detail. ...

The latest episodes of majordeformation involved folding and fulting of Pliocene and older sediments during mld-Pliocene time, and renewed movements along preexisting faults during early or mid-Pliocene time, Present tectonic activity within the region is dominated by interactionbetween the Pacifc and American crustl plales on opposite sides of the San Andteasfault and by continuing vertical uplift of the Coast Ranges. ln the regional setting ofI OCpp sile, the majgr struclural features atlcircssed rlLrring the original clesipn phase arethe San Andreas, Rinconada-San Marcos-Jolon, Sur-Nacimiento, and Santa Lucia Bankfaults. ,AclCltinnal laults wee iciertif ed during llre l'losri evalualicrn and t..TSPeviltl*lifr f-rh:,.es, rlscusssd irr Secticrns 2.3.3.S.3 and 2.5.3.0.4, respectively.

San Anclreas FaullThe San Andreas fault is recognized as a major transfornr fault of reg"onal dimensionsthat forms an active boundary between the Pacific and North American crustal plates.Cumulative slip along the San Andeas full may have amounted to several hundredmiles, and a substantial fraclion of the total slip has occurred during lale Cenozoic t'meThe faqlt has spectacular topographlc expression, generally lying within a r'ft valley oralong an escapment mountain frpnt, ancl having assoc"ated sag ponds, low scerps,right'laterally deflected stresms, and related manifeslations of recent activity.The most recent episode of large-scale movement along the reach of the San Andreasfault that is closest to the San Luis Range occuned during the great Fort Tejonerthquake of 1857. Geologic evidence portinent to the behavior cif tlre faull during thisand earlier seismic events was studied in great detail by Wallace (Refetencee 15 andji? t"-"' who reported in terms of infrequent great earthquakes accontpanied by groundrupture of 10 to 30 feet, with intervening periods of near total quiescence. Allen(its'+rerr,:r 1f:)'*' suggested thal such !ehavior has been typical for this reach of theSan Andreas fault and has been fundamentally different 'rom the behavior of the faultalong the reach farther northwest, where creep and numerous srnall earthquakes haveoccurred. He further suggested lhat release of accrrmulating strain energy might havebeen fcilitated by the presence of large Emorrnts of serpentine in the faull zone to thenorthwest, and relarded by thelocking effect of lhe broad bend of the faultzone where itcosses the Transverse Ranges to lhe southeast.Movement is currently taking place along large segmenls of the San Andreas fault.

San Sitneon FaultThe fault here referred to as the San Simeon fault trends along lhe base of thepeninsula that li!s north of the settlement of San Simeon, This fault is on land for adistance of 12 miles belween its only outcrop, north of Ragged Point, and Point SanSimeon. lt may extend as rnuch as 16 miles farther to the southeast, to the vicinity ofPoint Estero.. This possibility is suggested by the straight reach of coastline betweenCambria and Point Estero, which is directly aligned with the onshore trend of the fault;its linear form may well have been controlled by a zone of sttuctural weaknessassociated with the infened southerly parl of the fault. South of Port Estero, however,there is no evidence of faulting observable in the seismic rellection profiles acrossEstero Bay, and the trend definecl by the Los Osos Valley-Estero Bay series of lowerMiocene or Oligocene intrusivee extends across the San Simeon hend withoutdeviation.I tttonn of Point Pieclras Blancas, Silver (§efererrcr reports a fault with about5 kilometers of vertical separation between the 4-kilometer-thick Tertiary section in theoffshore basin and the nearby 1-lilometer-high exposure of Franciscan basement rocksin the coastline mountain front, The existence of a fault in lhis region is also indioatedby the 30- mllligal gravity anomaiy between tlre offshore basin and the onshore ranges(Plate ll of Appendix 2.5D of Reference ?7 in Sectlon 2,3), This postulated fault maywell be a norlhward extension of the San Simeon fault lf this is the case, the SanSimoon fault may have a total length of as mutch as 00 miles.2,5-11LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and GeologyEdiled for ConsrslencyEdltecl for ConslstenryEdlted for Conaistency17 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEBetween Point San Simeon end Ragged Point, the San Simeon fault lies along the baseof a broad peninsula, the surface of which is characterized by elevated marine terracesand younger, steep-walled ravines and canyons.

Thefaulted contacts between these rock masses trend somewhat more westerly than thetrend of the San Simeon fault. One north-dipping reverse fault, which separatesserpentinlte from graywacke, has broken marlne terrace deposlts ln at least two places,one of them in the basal part of lhe lowest and youngest tenace, Movement along thisbranch *ault has therefore occurred less than 1 30,000 years before the present,although the uppermost, youngest Pleistocene deposits are apparently not broken.Prominent topographic lineations defined by northwest-aligned ravines that 'ncise theupper terrace surface, on the other hand, apparently have originated through headwardgully erosion along faults and faulte{ contacts, rather than through the effects of surfacefaulting,The characteristics of the San Simeon fault can be summarized as follows: The faultmay be related to a fault along the coast to the north that displays some 5 kilometers ofvertical displacement. Near San Simeon, lt exhibits probable Plelstocene right-lateralstrike-slip movement of as much as 1500 feet near San Simeon, although it apparentlydoes not break dune sand deposits of late Pleistocene or early Holocene age.

Sanfa Lucia Bank FaultSouth of the latitude of Point Piedras Blancas, the western boundary of the mainoffshore Santa Maria Basin is defined by the east-facing scarp along the east side of theSanta Lucia Bank. This scarp is associated with the Santa Lucia Bank fault, thestructure that separates the subsided block under the basin from the structural hlgh ofthe bank, The escarpment that rises above the west side of the fault trace has amaximum height of about 450 feet, as shown on U,S, Coast and Geodetic Survey(USC&GS) Bathymetric Map 1306N-20.The Sania Lucia Bank fault can be traced on the sea floor for a distance of about65 miles.

Most of the measurable displacemenls along this zone of rupture occurreddurlng or after folding of the Pliocene Pismo Formation but prior to depositlon of thelower Pleistocene Paso Robles Formation.

J!s geology of this boundary zon has been investigatecl in delailby means of extensive se"smic reflection profiling, high resolution surface profiling, ands'de scan sonar surveying.More general information aboul structuraf relatlonships atong the boundary zone hasbeen obtained from the pattern of Bouguer Gravity anomaly values that exist in ilsvic'nity. These data show lhe East Boundary zone to consist of a series of generallyparallel north-northwest-trendng faults and folds, developed chiefly in upper Plocenestrata tlrat flank upwarped lower Pliocene and older rocks. The zone extends fromsouth of the latitude of Poinl Sal to north of Point Piedras Blancas, Wthin the zone,individual fault breaks range in length from less than 1000 feet up to a maximum ofabout 30 miles. The overall length of lhe zone is approximately 90 mlles, with about60 nriles of relatively continuous faulting.The apparent vefiical component of movement is down to the west across some faultsand down to the easl across others. Along lhe central reach of the zone, opposite theSan Luis Range, a block of ground has been dropped between the two main strands ofthe fault to form a graben struclure. Within lhe graben, and at other points along theEast Bounclary zone, beclding in the rock has been folded down toward the upthrownside of the wesl s"de down fault. This feature evidently is an express"on of "reversedrag" phenomenar.5-15tBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and GeologyEdlted for ConElstency21 The axes of folds in the ground on elther side of the principal fault breaks can be tracedfor distances of as much as 22 miles, The fold axes typically are nearly horizontal;maximum axial plunges seem to be 5l or less. The structure and onlqp relationships ofthe upper Pliocene, as reflected in the configuration of the unconformlty at its base, aresuch that it consistently rises from the offshore basin and across the boundary zone viaa series of upwarps, asymmetric folds, and faults. This configuration seems tocorrespond generally to a zone of warping and partial disruption along the boundarybetween relatively uplifting and subsiding regions,I iz.s.z+.'t.s, Geologic HistoryThe geologlc history reflected by the rocks, structural features, and landforms of theSan Luis Range is typical of that of the southern Coast Ranges of California in its lengthand complexity. Six general episodes for which there is direct evidence can beta!ulated as follows:Aoe Eoisode EvideneeDCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATELate Mesozoic Development of Franciscan andUpper Cretaceous rock assemblagesLate Mesozoic - Early Coast RangesEarlyTertiary deformationMid-Tertiary Uplift and erosionFranciscan and otherMesozoic rocksStructural features pre-servedin the Mesozoic rocksErosion surface at the baseof the Tertiary sectlonVaqueros, Rincon, Obispo,Point Sal, Monterey, and PismoFormation and associated volcanicintrusive, and brecciated rocksMid- and late-TertiaryAccumulation of Mioceneand Pliocene sedimentaryand volcanic rocksPliocene Folding and faulting associated with Folding and faultlng of thethe Pllocene Coast Ranges deformation Tertiary and basement rocksPleistocene Uplift and erosion, development of Pleistocene and Holocenesuccesslve tiers of wave-cut-benches deposlts, present land-forms'alluvial fan, talus, and landslide deposition.The earliest recognizable geologic history of the southern Coast Ranges began lnMesozoic time, during the Jurassic period when eugeosynolinal deposits (graywackesandstone, shale, chert, and basalt) accumulated in an offshore trenoh developed inoceanic crust.Some time after the initiation of Franciscan sedimentation, deposition of a sequence ofmlogeosynclinal or shelf sandstones and shales, known as the Great Valley Sequence,began on the contlnental crust, at som distance to the east of the Franciscan trench.2.5-16LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology22 DCPP U{ITS,1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEDeposition of bolh sequences continued lnlo Cretaceous tme, even whlle the crustalbasement section on whlch lhe Grt Valley strata were being deposlted wasundergoing plrltonlsm lnvolvlng emplacement of granltic rocks, SubsequŽntly, thoFranciscan assemblage, the Great Valley Sequence, and the gran'te.intruded basementrocks were tectonically juxtaposed.

Locally, the unit is featured by masses of clastlc-textured tuffaceousrock that exhi!it cross-cutting intrusive relations with the bedded parts of the formalion.The Obispo and Point Sal were folded and locally eroded prior to "nitiation of lhe mainepisode of upper Miocene and Pliocene marine sedlmentation,During late middle Miocene to late Miocene time, deposition of the thick sections ofsilica-rich shale of lhe Monterey Forrnation began. Deposition of this formation andequlvalenl strata took place throughout much of the coastal region of Californla, butapparently was centered in a series of offshore basins that all developecl at about thesame time, some 10 to 12 million years ago, Local volcanism toward lhe latler part ofthis time is shown by the presence of diabase dikes and sills in the Monterey. Near thend of lhe Mlocene, the Monterey strata were subjected to oompresslonal deformationresulling in folcllng, in part with great complexity, and in faulting. Near the oidcontinental margin, represented by the Sur-Nacimienlo fault zone, the deformatlon wasmost intense, and was accompanied by uplift. This apparently resulted in the firstdevelopment of many of the large folds of the southern Coast Ranges ncluding lheHuasna and San Luis-Pismo synclines, and in the partial erosion of the folded Montereysection in areas of uplift The pattern of reglonal uplift of the Coast Ranges andsubsidence of the offshore basins, with local upwarping and faulting in a zone ofinflection along the boundry between the two regions, apparently became welleslatrlislred during the episocle of late Miocene and Mio-Pliocene cliastrophismSedinrentation resumed rn Pliocene fime throughott mt,ch of lhe region of the Mioceneí:asins, and several thousand feet of siltstone and sandstone was deposited.

Pliocene deposits in the region of uplift were then folded, and there wasrenewed movemenl along mosl of the preexisting larger faults.Differential movements belween the Coast Ranges uplift and the offshore basins wereagain concentrated along the boundary zone of inllection, resulting in upwarping andfaulting of the basemenl, Miocene, and Pliocene sections. Relative ciisplacementacross parts of this zone evidently was dominantly vertical, because the faulting in thePliocene has def"nitely extensional character, and Miocene structures can be traceclacross the zone without apparent lateral offset, The !asement and Tertiary sectionsstep down seaward. away from the uplift, along a system of normal faults havinghundreds to nearly a thousancl feet of dip-slip offset. A second, more seaward systemof normal faults is antilhetic to the master set ancl exhibits only tens to a few hundredsof feet of displacement. Strata belween these faults locally exhibit reverse dragdownfolding toward the edge of the Pliocene basin, whereas the section is essenliallyundeformed farther offshore, This style of deformalion indicates a passive response,through gravity tectonics, to the onshore uplift,The Plio-Pleistocene uplift was accompanied by rapid erosion, with consequent nerbydeposition of clastic sediments such as the Paso Robles Formalion in valleyslhrouglrout the southern Coast Ranges. The high-angle reverse and normal fault'ngI observed by Compton (Referencn 38)#i in lhe northern Santa Lucia Range alsooccurred farther south, probably more or less contemporaneously wlth accumulation ofthe continental deposits. Much of the Quaternary faulting other than that related to theSan Andreas right lateral stress-straln system my well have occurred at this time.Tectonlc activity during the Quaternary has involved continued general uplifl of thesouthern Coast Ranges, with superimposed local downwarping and continuedmovement along faults of the San Andreas syslem, The uplift is shown by thegenerl high elevation and steep youthful topography that charact'rizes the GoastRanges and by'the wirlespread uplifted marine and stream terraces. Localdownwarping can be seen in valleys, such as the Santa Maria Valley, where thicksections of Plio-Pleistocene and younger deposits have accumr.tlated. Evidence ofsignifioanl late Quaternary fault movement is seen in the topography along theRinconada-San Marcos, Espinosa, San Simeon, and Santa Lucia Bank faults, as wellas along the San Andreas itself. Only along the San Andreas, however, is thereevidence of Holocene or contempolary movemeni.The latest stage in the evolution of the San Luis Range has extencld frommid-Pleistocene time to the present, and has involved more or less continuousinteraction between apparent uplitt of the range and alternaling periods of erosion ordeposition, especially along the coest, durng times of relatively rising, falling, orunchanging sea level, The developmenl of wave-cut benches and the accumulalion ofmarine deposlls on these benhes have provided a reliable guide to the minlmum ageoI latest displacements along breaks in the underlying bedrock.

The existence ofintrusive bodies of both tuff breccia and diabase in this part of the section indicateseither that local volcanic activity continued beyond the time of deposition of the ObispoFormation, or that the section represents a predominantly sedimentary facies of theupper part of the Obispo Formation. ln either oase, the strata underlying the powerplant site range downward through the Obispo Formation and presumably include a fewhundred feet of the Rincon and Vaqueros Formations resting upon a basement ofMesozoic rooks.A generalized description of the major units in the Tertiary section follows, and a moredetailed description of the rocks exposed at the power plant site is included in a latersection.The Vaqueros Formation has been described by Headlee as consisting of 100 to 400feet of resistant, massive, coarse-grained, calcareously cemented bioclastic sandstoneThe overlying Rincon Formation consists of 200 to 300 feet of dark gray to chooolatebrown calcareous shale and mudstone.The Obispo Formation (or Obispo Tuff) is 800 to 2000 feet thick and comprisesalternating massive to thick-bedded, medium to fino grained vitric-lithic tuffs, finely2.5-20LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and GeologyI e,ilt-o ior cl"rtllI Number- Revlsed Secllon26 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATElaminated black and brown marine siltstone and shale, and medium grained light tanmarine sandstone.

The coastal terrace deposits include discontinuous thin basalsections of marlne sllt, sand, gravel, and rubble, some of which are highly fosslllferous,and generally much thicker overlying sections of talus, alluvial-fan debris, and otherdeposits of landward origin. All of the marine deposits and most of the overlyingnonmarine accumulations are of Pleistocene age, but some of the uppermost talus andalluvial deposlts are Holocene. Most of the alluvial and colluvial materials conslst ofsilty clayey sand with irregularly distributed fragments and blocks of locally exposedrock types.

The San Luis Range-Estero Bay and adjacent offshorearea lies within the zone of transition from the west-trending Transverse Rangestructural province to the northwest-trendlng Coast Ranges province, Major structuralfeatures are the long narrow downfold of the San Luis-Pismo syncline and the borderingantiformal structural highs of Los Osos Valley on the northeast, and of Point San Luisand the adjacent offshore area on the southwest. This set of folds trends obliquely intoa north-northwest aligned zone of basement upwarping, folding, and hlgh-angle normalfaulting that lies a few miles off lhe coast. The ma'n onshore folds can be recognized,by seismic reflection and gravity techniques, in the structure of the buried, downfaultedMiocene section that lies across (west of) this zone.2.5-21LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geologyi. eote .iłrlv ln"vise! sełti.-n-- "I Number ilor.

Both the sedimentary and volcanic rocks have been folded andothentrise disturbed over a considerable range of scales,Surficial deposits of Quaternary age are widespread, ln a few places, they are as thiokas 50 feet, but their average thickness probably is on the order of 20 feet over theterrace areas and 10 feet or less over the entire mapped ground, The most extensivedeposits underlie the main topographic tenace.Like many other parts of the California coast, the Diablo Canyon area is characterizedby several wave-cut benches of Pleistocene age. These sulaces of irregular butgenerally low relief were developed across bedrock by marlne eroslon, and they areancient analogues of the benches now being cut approximately at sea level along thepresent coast. They were formed during periods when the sea level was higher, relativeto the adjacent land, than it is now, Each is thinly and discontinuously mantled withmarine sand, gravel, and rubble similar to the beach and offshore deposits that areaccumulating along the present coastline, Along its landward margin each bears thickerand more localized coarse deposits similar to the modern talus along the base of thepresent sea cliff.2.5-26LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology32 OCPP UN S 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATBoth the ancient wave-cut benches and their overlying manne and shoreline depositshave been buried beneath silty to gravelly detritus derived from landward sources afterthe benches were, in effect, abandoned by the ocean.

Some of them are very thinlybedded or lamlnated, others appear almost massive or form matrices for irregularlyellipsoidal masses of somewhat sandier materil. The diatomaceous, tuffaceous, andsandy rocks are lighter colored. The more tuffaceous types are softer, and thediatomaceous ones are soft to the degree of punkiness; both kinds of rocks are easilyeroded, but are markedly cohesive and tend to retain their gross posltions on even thesteepest of slopes,The siliceous shale and most of the hardest, highly siliclfied rooks weather to very lightgray, and the dark colored, fine-grained rocks tend to bleach when weathered. Theother lypes, including the sandstones, weather to various shades of buff and lightbrown. Stains of iron oxides are widespread on exposures of nearly all the Montereyrocks, and are especially well developed on some of the finest-grained shales thatcontain disseminated pyrite, All but the hardest and most thick-bedded rocks areconsiderably broken to depths of as much as 6 feet 'n the zone of weathering on slopesother than lhe present sea cliff, and the broken fragments have been separated anddisplaced by surface creep to somewhat lesser depths.I Z,S.z+.z.s.l Diabasic lntrusive RocksSmall, irregular bodies of diabasic rocks are poorly exposed high on the walls of DiabloCanyon at and beyond the northeasterly edge of the map area. Contact relationshipsare readily determined at only a few places where these rocks evidently are intruslve'nto the Monterey Formation. They are considerably weathered, but an ophitic texture isrecognizable.

The fracturing anddislocation is not genetically related to any recognizable faults, but instead seems tohave been associated with emplacement of the volcanic rocks; lt evidently wasaccompanied by, or soon followed by, extensive silicification, Many adjacent fragmentsin the breccias are closely juxtaposed and have matching opposed aurfaces, so thatthey plainly represent no more than coarse crackling of the brittle rocks. Otherfragments, though angular or subangular, are not readily matched with adjacentfragments and hence may represent significant translation wlthin the entire rockmasses.LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and GeologyEdited for Clarity - Revlsed SectlonNumber2.5-3036 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe ratio of matrix materials to coarse fragments is very low in most of the breccias andnowhere was it observed to exceed about 1:3, The matrices generally comprlse smallerangular fiagments of the same Monterey rocks that are elsewhere dominant in thebreccias, and they characteristically are set in a slliceous cement. Tuffaceous matrices,with or without Monterey fragments, also are widespread and commonly show theeffects of pervaslve silicification, All the exposed breccias are firmly cemented, andthey rank among the hardest and most resistant units in the entire bedrock section.A few 3 to 1E inch beds of sandstone have been pulled apart to form separate tabularmasses along specific stratigraphic horizons in higher parts of the Monterey sequence.Such lndividual tablets, which are boudins rather than ordinary breccia fragments, areespecially well exposed in the sea cliff at the northern corner of Diablo Cove, They areflanked by much finer-grained strata that converge around their ends and continueessentially unbroken beyond them. This boudinage or separation and stringing out ofsandstone beds that lie within intervals of much softer and more shaly rocks hasresulted from compression during folding of the Monterey section. lts distribution isstratigraphically controlled and ls not systematically related to recognizable faults in thearea,I z.s.z+,z,l.d Surficial Depgsits1. Coastal Temce DepositsThe coastal wave-cut benches of Pleistocene age, as described in a foregoing section,are almost continuously blanketed by terrace deposits (Qter in Figure 2,5-8) of severalcontrasting types and modes of origin. The oldest of these deposits are relatively thinand patchy in their occurrence, and were laid down along and adjacent to ancientbeaches dur'ng Pleistocene time, They are covered by considerably thicker and moreextensive nonmarine accumulations of detrital materials derived from various landwardsources,The marine deposits consist of silt, sand, gravel, and cobbly to bouldery rubble. Theyare approximately 2 feet in average thickness over the entire terrace area and reach amaximum observed thickness of about 8 feet. They rest directly upon bedrock, some ofwhich is marked by numerous holes attributable to the action of boring marine mollusks,and they commonly contain large rounded cobbles and boulders of Monterey andObispo rocks that have been s'milarly bored. Lenses and pockets of highly fossil'feroussand and gravel are present locally,The marine sediments are poorly to very well sorted and loose to modorately wellconsolidated. All of them have been naturally compacted; the degree of compactionvaries according to the material, but it is consistently greater than that observed ln anyof the associated surficial deposits of other types. Near the inner margins of individualwave-cut benches the marine deposits merge landward into coarser and lesswell-sorted debris that evidently accumulated along the bases of ancient sea cliffs or2.5-31LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and Geology:Edited forClarity - Revlsed SectlonNumber37 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEother shoreline slopes, This debris is locally as much as 12 feet thick; it forms broad butvery short aprons, now buried beneath younger deposits, that are ancient analogues ofthe talus accumulations along the inner margin of the present beach in Diablo Cove,One of these occurences, identified as "fossil Qtb" in the geologic map of Figure 2.5-8,is well exposed high on the northerly wall of Diablo Canyon,A younger, thicker, and much more continuous nonmarine cover is present over most ofthe coastal terrace area, lt conslstently overlies the marine deposits noted above, and,where thse are absent, it rests directly upon bedrock, lt is composed in part of alluvialdetritus contributed during Pleistocene time from Diablo Canyon and several smallerdrainage courses, and it thickens markedly as traced sourceward toward thesecanyons, The detritus represents a series of alluvial fans, some of which appear tohave partly coalesced with adjacent ones. lt is chiefly fine- to moderately-coarse-grained gravel and rubble characterized by tabular fragments of Monterey rocks in arather abundant silty.to clayey matrix. Most of it is thlnly and regularly stratlfied, but thedistinctness of this layering varies greatly from place to place.Slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, derived from adjacent hlllsides by relativelyslow downhill movement over long periods of tlme, also form major parts of thenonmarine tenace cover, All are loose and uncompacted. They comprise fragments ofMonterey rocks in dark colored clayey matrices, and their internal structure is essentiallychaotic. ln some places they are crudely interlayered with the alluvial fan deposits, andelsewhere they overlie these bedded sediments. On parts of the maln terrace area notreached by any of the alluvial fans, a cover of slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, afew inches to nearly 10 feet thick, rests directly upon either marine terrace deposits orbedrock.Thus, the entire section of terrace deposits that caps the coastal benches of Pleistocenemarine erosion is heterogeneous and internally complex; it includes contributions ofdetritus from contrasting sources, from dlfferent directions at different times, and viaseveral basically different modes of transport and deposition,2. Stream-tenace DepositsSeveral narrow, irregular benches along the walls of Diablo Canyon are veneered by afew inches to 6 feet of silty gravels that are somewhat coarser but otherwise similar tothe alluvial fan deposits described above. These stream-terrace deposits (Qst)originally occupied the bottom of the canyon at a time when the lower course of DiabloCreek had been cut downward through the alluvial fan sediments of the main terraceand well into the underlying bedrock. Subsequent deepening of the canyon leftremnants of the deposits as cappings on scattered small terraces,3.

Several episodes of sliding are attested by thin, elongatemasses of highly broken ground separated from one anotlrer by well-defined zones ofdislocation. Some of lhese masses are slill capped by terrace deposits. The entirecomposite accumulation of debris is not more than 35 feel in maximum thickness, andground failure at th's locally does not appear to have resulted in major recession of thecliff, Elsewhere within the mapped area, landsliding along the sea cliff evidently has notbeen a significant procees.Large landslides, some of them involving substantial thickness of bedrock, are presenton both sides of Diablo Canyon not far northeast of th power plant area. Theseoccurrences need not "e considereci in connection wilh the planl slte, but they havebeen regarded as significant factors in establishing a satisfactory grading design for theswitchyard and other up-canyon installations. They are not dealt with in this section.4. Slump, Areap, and S/ope-wash DepossAs noted earlier, slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits (Qsw) form parts of thenonmarine sedimentary blahket on the main terrace, These materials are shownseparately on the geologic map only in those limited areas where they have beenconsiderably concerrtraled along well-defined swales and are readily distinguished fromother surficial deposits.

Thus the main syncllne, thoughsimple in gross form, is distnctly asymmetric. Ihe steepnqss of its southerly f"anl< maywell have resulted from buttressing, during the folding, by the relatively massive andcompetent unit of tuffaceous rocks that adjoins the Monterey strata at this general levelof exposure.Smaller folds, corrugations, ancl highly irregular convolutlons are wldespread among theMonterey rocks, especlally the finest-grainecl and most shaley lypes. Some of lheseflexures trend east to southeast and appear to be drag features systematically related tothe larger-scale folding in the area. Most, however, reflect no consistent form or trend,range in scale from inches to only a few feet, and evidently are conlined to relatively softrocks that are flanked by intervals of harder end more massive strala, They constitutecrudely tabular zones of contorlion within which individual rock layers can be lraced forshort distances but rarely are cont'nuous throughoutthe deformed ground.Some of this contoion appears to have derived from slumping and sliding ofunconsoliclated sediments on lhe Miocene sea floor during accumulation of theMonterey section. Most of lt, in contrast, plainly oocurred at much laler times,presumably after oonversion of the sediments to sedimentary rocks, and lt can be mostreadily attributed to highly localized deformation during the ancient folding of a sectionthat comprses rocks with oontrasting degrees of struotural oompetenoel 2.s.21,2,4.3 FausNumerous feults with total displacemenls ranging from a few inches to several feet ctttthe exposed Monterey rocks.

Their unsystemalicatlitudes, small displacements, and linrited effects upon the hosl rocks identlfy them assecond-order fealures, i.e., as results rather than causes of the localized folding andconvolution with which they are associated. .Three distinctly larger and more continuous faults also were reoognized within themapped area, They are well exposed on the sea cliff that fringes Diablo Cove (rc.etlosria Figure 2.5-8), and each lies within a zone Žf moderately to severely contortedfine-grained Monterey strata.

BedrockThe bedrock that was continuously exposed in the lowest parts of all the exploratorytrenches lies within a portion of the Montery Formation charaoterized by apreponderance of sandstone. lt corresponds to the part of the section that crops out in, lower Diablo Canyon and along the sea cliff souteastward from the canyon mouth. Thesandstone ranges from light gray through buff to light reddish brown, from silty tomarkedly tutfaceous, and from thin-bedded and platy to massive. The distribution andthickness of beds can be readily appralsed from sections along Trenches A and B(Figure 2,5-12) that show nearly all individual bedding surfaces that could be recognizedon the ground.The sandstone ranges from very hard to moderately soft, and some of lt feels slightlypunky when struck with a pick. All of it is, however, firm and very compac,t. ln general,the most platy parts of the sequence are also the hardest, but the soundest rock in thearea is almost masslve sandstone of the kind that underlies the site of the intendedreactor structure. This rock is well exposed on the nearby hillslope adjoining the mainterrace area, where it has been markedly resistant to erosion and stands out as distinctlow ridges.Tuff, consisting chiefly of altered volcanic glass, forms irregular sills and dikes ln severalparts of the bedrock section. This material, generally light gray to buff, is compact butdistinctly softer than the enclosing sandstone, lndividual bodies are 112 inch to 4 feetthick, They are locally abundant ln Trench C west of Trench A, and in Trench Asouthward beyond the end of the section in Figure 2.5'12. They are very rare or absentin Trenches B and D, and in the easterly parts of Trench C and the northerly parts ofTrench A. These volcanic rocks probably are related to the Obispo Tuff as describedearlier, but all known masses of typical Obispo rocks in this area lie at considerabledistances west and south ofthe ground occupied by lhe trenches.2. Bedrock StructureThe stratification of the Monterey rocks dips northward wherever it was observable inthe trenches, in general, at angles of 35 to 55". Thus, the bedrock beneath the powerplant site evidently lies on the southerly flank of the major syncline noted and describedearlier. Zones of convolution and other expressions of locally intense folding were notrecognized, and probably are much less common in this general part of the section thanin other, previously described parts that include intervals of softer and more shaleyrocks,Much of the sandstone is traversed by fractures, Planar, curving, and irregular surfacesare well represented, and, in places, they are a!undant and closely spaced. Allprominent fractures and many of the minor and discontinuous ones aro shown in thesections of Figure 2.5-12. Also shown in these sections are all recog-ized slip joints,shear surfaces, and faults, i.e., all surfaces along which the bedrock has been2.5-40LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology46 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEdisplaced. Such features are most abundant in Trenches A and C near theirintersection, ln Trench D west of the intersection with Trench A, and near the northerlyend ofTrench B,Most of the surfaces of movemenl are hairllne features with or wlthout thin films of clayand/or gypsum, Displacements range from a small fraction of an inch to several inches,The other surfaces are more prominent, with well-defined zones of gouge and fine-grained breccia ordinarily 1/8 inch or less in thickness. Such zones were obserued toreach a maximum thlckness of nearly l12inch along two small faults, but onty as locallenses or pockets. Exposures were not sufficiently extensive in three dimensions fordefinitely determining the magnltude of slip along lhe more prominent faults, but all ofthese breaks appeared to be mlnor features. lndeed, no expressions of major faultingwere recognized in any of the trenches despite oareful search, and the continuousbedrock exposures precluded the possibility that such features could have been readilyoverlooked.A northeast-trending fault that appears on the sea cliff at the mouth of Diablo Canyonprojects toward the ground in the northernmost part of the power plant site, as noted ina foregoing section. No zone of breaks as prominent as this one was identified ln thetrench exposures, and any d'stinct northeastward continuation of the fault wouldnecessarily lie north of the trenched ground. Alternatively, this fault might well separatenortheaslward into several smaller faults; some or all of these could correspond to someor all of the breaks mapped in the northerly parts of Trenches A and B.3. Terrace DeposdsMarine terrace deposits of Pleistocene age form a cover, generally 2 to 5 feet thick, overthe bedrock that l'es beneath the power plant s'te, This cover was observed to becontinuous in Trench C and the northerly part of Trench A, and to be nearly continuousin the other two trenches, lts lithology is highly variable, and includes bouldery rubble,loose beach sand, pebbly silt, silty to clayey sand with abundant shell fragments, andsoft clay derived from underlying tuffaceous rocks, Nearly all of these deposlts are atleast sparsely fossiliferous, and, in a few places, they consist mainly of shells and shellfragments, Vertebrate fossils, chiefly vertebral and rib materials representing largemarine mammals, are present locally; recognized occurences are designated by thesymbol X ln the sections of Figure 2.5-12.At the easterly ends of Trenches C and D, the marine deposits lntergrade andintertongue in a landward direction with thicker and coarser accumulations of poorlysorted debris, This material evidently ls talus that was formed along the base of anancient sea cliff or other shoreline slope. ln some places, the maririe deposits areoverlain by nonmarine terrace sediments with a sharp break, but elsewhere the contactbetween these two kinds of deposits is a dark colored zone, a few inches to as much as2 feet thick, that appears to represent a soll developed on the marine section,Fragments of these soily materials appear here and there in the basal parts of thenonmarine section,2,5-41LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology47 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe nonmarine sediments that were exposed in Trenches B, C, and D and ln thesource, the ancient mouth of Diablo Canyon,Slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, which constitute the youngest major element ofthe tenace section, overlie the alluvial fan gravels and locally are interlayered with them.\Mere the gravels are absent, as in the southerly part of Trench A, this younger ooverrests directly upon bedrock. lt is loose and uncompacted, internally chaotic, and iscomposed of fragments of Monterey rocks in an abundant dark colored clayey matrix.All the terrace deposits are soft and unconsolidated, and hence are much less resistantto erosion than is the underlying bedrock. Those appearing along the walls ofexplorato o storms, and showedsome ten no gross failure werenoted in t t these materials wouldcause special problems during construction of a power plant,4. lnteiace Between Bedrock and Sutficia\ DeposlsAs once exposed continuously in the exploratory trenches, the contact between bedrockand oveflying terrace deposits represents a broad wave-cut platform of Flelstocene age,This buried surface of ancient marine erosion ranges in altltude between extremes of82 and 100 feet, and more than three-fourths of it lies within the more limited range of90 to 100 feet. lt terminates eastward agalnst a moderately steep shoreline slope, thelowest parts of which were encountered at the extreme easterly ends of Trenches Cand D, and beyond this slope is an older buried bench at an altitude of 120 to 130 feet.Avallable exposures indicate that the configuration of the eroslonal platform is markedlysimilar, over a wide range of scales, to that of the platform now being cut approximatelyat sea level along the present coast. n a seaward(westerly) direction and is marked by rdprojections that must have appeared ch wasbeing formed (Figures 2,5-12 and2.5 rly exposedin Trenches B and D at and near their intersection, is a wide, westerly-trendingprojection that rlses 5 to 15 feet above neighboring parts of the bench surface. lt iscomposed of massive sandstone that was relatively resistant to the ancient waveerosion.As shown in the sections and sketches of Figure 2.5-12, the surface of the platform isnearly planar in some places but elsewhere is highly irregular in detail. The smll-scaleirregularities, generally 3 feet or less in vertical extent, including knob, spine, and rib like2,5_42LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology48 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEprojections and various wave-scoured pits, crevices, notches, and channels, Theupward projections clearly correspond to relatively hard, resistant beds or parts of bedsln the sandstone section. The depressions conslstently mark the posltions of relativelysoft silty or shaley sandstone, of very soft tuffaceous rocks, or of extensively jointedrocks. The surface traces of most faults and some of the most prominent joints are insharp depressions, some of them wlth overhanging walls, All these irregularities ofdetail have modern analogues that can be recognized on the bedrock bench now beingcut along the margins of Diablo Cove,The interface between bedrock and overlying surficial deposits is of particular interest inthe trenched area because it provides information concernlng the age of youngest faultmovements wlthin the bedrock section. This interface ls nowhere offset by faultsrevealed in the trenches, but instead has been developed inegularly across these faultsafter their latest movements. The consistency of thls general relationship wasestablished by highly detailed tracing and inspection of the contact as freshly exhumedby scaling of the trench walls, Gaps in exposure of lhe interface necessarily weredeveloped at the bur intersections of trenches; at these localities, the bedrock wascarefully laid bare so that alljolnts and faults could be recognized and traced along thetrench floors to points where their relationships with the exposed interface could bedetermined.Corroborative evidence conoerning the age of the most recent fault displacementsstems from the marine deposits that overlie the bedrock benoh and form the basal partof the terrace section. That these deposits rest without break across the traces of faultsin the underlying bedrock was shown by the continuity of individual sedimentary bedsand lenses that could be clearly recognized and traced.Further, some of the faults are directly capped by individual boulders, cobbles, pebbles,shells, and fossil bones, none of which have been affected by fault movements, Thus,the most recent fault displacements in the plant site area occurred prior to marineplanation of the bedrock and deposition of the overlying terrace sediments. As pointedout earlier, the age of the most recent faulting in this area is therefore at least 80,000years and more probably at least 120,000 years, lt mlght be mlllions of years.I A.S.z+.z.s.e Exploratory Trenchlng Program, Unlt 2 SiteEight additional trenches were out beneath the main terrace surface south of DiabloCanyon (Figure 2.5-13) in order to extend the scope of subsurface exploration toinclude all ground in the Unit 2 plant site. As in the area of the Unit 1 plant site, thetrenches formed two groups; those ln each group were parallel with one another andwere oriented nearly normal to those of the other group. The excavations'pertinent tothe Unit 2 plant site can be briefly identifed as follows:1.

East-nothoast AlignmentTrench KL, about 750 feet long, lay 180 feet south of Trench DG(originally designated as Trench D) and crossed Trenches AF, EJ, andWU.Trench NO, about 730 feet long, lay 250 feet south of Trenoh KL andcrossed Trenches AF, WU, and MV.These trenches, or parts thereof, covered the area intended for the Unlt 2 power plantconstruction, and the intersection of Trenches \A/U and KL coino"ded in position with thecenter of the Unit 2 nuclear reactor structure.All five additional trenches, throughout their: aggregate length of nearly half a mile,revealed a section of surf"cial deposlts and underlying Monterey bedrock tha!corresponded to the two-ply sequence of surficial deposits and Monterey strata exposedin the older trenches and along the sea cliff in nearby Diablo Cove, The trenchesranged in depth from 10 feet (or less along their approach ramps) to nearly 35 feet, andall had sloping sides that gave way downward to essentially vertical walls in the bedrockencountered 3lo 22 feet above their floors, To facilitate detailed geologic mapping, theeasterly walls of Trenches EJ, WU, and MV and the southerly walls of Trenches KL andNO were trimmed to near-vertical slopes extending upward from the trench floors tolevels well above the top of bedrock. These walls subsequently were scaled back bymeans of hand tools in order to provide fresh, clean exposures prior to mapping of thecontact between bedrock and overlying unconsolidated materlals.The geologic sections shown in Figures 2,5-12 and 2.5-13 correspond in position to thevertical portions of the mapped trench walls.

The sandstone is light to mediumgray where fresh, and light gray to buff and reddish brown where weathered. lt ranges, from silty to markedly tuffaceous, with tuffaceous units tending to dominate southwardI and southwestward from the central parts of the trenched area (refer lo** geologicsecton in Figure 2.5-13), Much of the sandstone is thin-bedded and platy, but the mostsiliceous parts of the sectlon are characterlzed by a strata a foot or more in thickness.lndivldual beds commonly are well deflned by adjacent thin layers of more sllly nraterial.Bedding is less distinct in the more luffaceoug parts of the section, some of which seemto !e almost massive. These rocks typically are broken by numerous tight fracturesdisposed at high angles to one another so llrat, where weathered, their appearance isooarsely blocky rather than layered.As broadly indicated in the geologic seclions, the sandstone ranges from very hard tomoderately sofl, and some of lt feels slightly punky when struck with a piok.

Bedrock StructureThe stratification of the Monterey rocks dips northward wherever it was observable inthe trenches, in general, at angles of45 to 85", The steepness of dip increasesprogressively from north to south in the trenched ground, a relationship also noted alongthe sea cliff southward from the mouth of Diablo Canyon. Thus, the bedrock beneaththe power plant site evidently lies on the southerly flank of the major syncline that wasdescribed previously. Zones of convolution and other expressions of locally intensefolding were not recognized, and they probably are much less common in this generalpart of the section than in other (previously described) parts that lnclude intervals ofsofter and more shaley rocks.Much of the sandstone is traversed by fractures. Planar, curving, and lrregular surfacesare well represented, and in places they are abundant and closely spaced, Allprominent'fractures and nearly all of the minor and discontinuous ones are shown onthe geologic sec{ions (Figure 2,5-13). Also shown ln these sections are all recognlzedshear surfaces, faults, and other discontinuities along which the bedrock has been .displaced, Such features are nowhere abundant in the trench exposures,Most of the surfaces of movement are hairl'ne breaks with or without thin films of clay,calclte, and/or gypsum, Displacements range from a small fraction of an inch to severalinches, A few other surfaces are more prominent, with well-defined zones of fine,grained breccia and/or infilling mineral material ordinarily 1/8 inch or less in thickness,Such zones were observed to reach maximum thicknesses of 3/8 to 1/2 inch alongthree small faults, but only as local lenses or pockets,Exposures are not sufficiently extensive in three dimensions for definitely determiningthe magnitude of slip along allthe faults, but for most of them it is plainly a few lnches orless. None of them appears to be more than a minor break in a bedrock section thathas been folded on a large scale. lndeed, no expres'sions of major faulting wererecognized in any ofthe trenches despite careful search, and the continuous bedrockexposures preclude the posslbility that such features could be readily overlooked.Most surfaces of past movement probably were active during times when the Montereyrooks were being deformed by folding, when rupture and some differential movementswould be expected ln a section comprising such markedly differing rook gpes, Some ofthe fault displacements may well have been older, as attested in two places byrelationships involving small faults, the Monterey rocks, and tuff.ln Trench \tVU south of Trench KL, for example, sandstone beds were seen to havebeen offset about a foot along a small fault, A thin sill of tuff occupies the samestratigraphic horizon on opposite sides of this fault, but the slll has not been displacedby the fault. lnstead, the tuff occupies a short segment of the fault to effect the slight jogbetween its positions in the strata on either side, lntrusion of the tuff plainly postdatedall movements along this fault,LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology2.54652 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE5, Terrace Depos/lsMarine terrace deposlts of Pleistocene age fornr cover6, generally 2 to 5 feet thick, butlocally as much as 12feet lhiok, over lhe bedrock that lies beneath the Unlt 2 plant site.These covers were observed to be continuous in some parts of all the trenches, andthin and cliscontinuous in a few other parts. Elsewhere, the marine sediments wereabsent altogether, as in the lower.and more southerly prts of Trenches EJ and WU andin the lower and more westedy pas of Trenches KL and NO.The range in lilhology of these deposits is considerable, and includes bouldery rubble,gravel composed of well-rounded fragments ol shells ancl/or Monterey rocks, beachsand, loose accumulations of shells, pebbly silt. silty to clayey sand wilh abundant shellfragments, and soft clay derived from underlying tuffaceous rocks. Nearly all of thedeposits are at least sparsely fossiliferous, ancl many of them contain little other thanshell material. Vertebrate fossils. chiefly vertebral and rlb materials representing largemarin mmmls, are present locally.The trenches'in and near the site of lhe reactor structure exposed a !uried narrow ridgeof hard bedrock that once projected westward as a bold promontory along an ancientsea coast, probably at a time when sea level corresponded approximately to the presentI t OO toot contour (rnfer tose+ Figure 2.6-i 1) Along the flanks of this prornontory andthe face of an adjoining buried sea cliff that extends southeastward through lhe area inwhich Trenches MV and NO intersected, the marine deposits intergrade and intertonguewith lhicker and coarser accumulations of poorly sorted debris.

The clltf itself was not exposed,however, as it lies slightly beyond the limits of lrenching.ln many places, the marine covers are overlain by younger nonmarine terracsediments wlth a sharp break, but elsewhere lhe contact between these two kinds oldeposits is a zone of dark colored material, a few inches to as much as 6 feet thick, thatrspresents weathering and development of soils on the marine sections. Fragments ofthese soily materials are presenl here and there in the basal parts of the nonmarinesection. Over large areas, the porous marine deposits have been cliscolored throughinfiltration by fine-grained materials der'ved from the overlying ancienl soils.The nonmarine accumulations, which form the predominant fraction of lhe entire terracecover, consist mainly of slump, creep, and slope-wash debris that is characteristicallyloose. uncompacted, and internally chaotic. These relatively dark colored deposits arefine grained and clayey, but they contain sparse to very abundant fragments ofMonterey rocks generally ranging from less than an inch lo about 2 feet in maximunl2.5-47LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeisnrology and GeologyEdlted for Clarlty - R¿fer toApplcBbllty Delerrninalion#7Matr' ltem53 DCPP UNITS I & 2 FSAR UPDATEdimqnsion. Toward Diablo Canyon they overlie and, in places, intertongue with silty todayy gravels that are ancient -ontrbuiions from Diabl- Creek when it flowed at levelsmuch higher than its present one, These "dirty" alluvial deposits appeared only in themost northerly parts of the more recently trenched tenace area, and they are notdistinguished from other parts of the nonmarine cover on the geologlc sections(Figure 2.5-13),All the terrace deposits are soft and unconsolidated, and hence are much less resistantto erosion than is the underlying bedrock. Those appearing along the walls of theexploratory trenches showed some tendency to wash and locally to rill when exposed toheavy rainfall, but little slumping and no gross failure were noted in the trenches.6. lnterface Between Bedrock and Sut'fical DaposifsAs exposed continuously in the exploratory trenches, the contact between bedrock andoverlying terrace deposits represents two wave-cut platforms and intervening slopes, allof Pleistocene age. The broadest surface of ancient marine erosion ranges in altitudefrom 60 to 105 feet, and its shoreward margin, at the base of an ancient sea cliff, liesuniformly within 5 feet of the 100 foot contour, A higher, older, and less extensivemarne platform ranges in altitude.from 130 to 145 feet, and most of it lies within theranges of 135 to 140 feet, As noted previously, these are two of several wave-cutbenches in this coastal area, each of which terminates eastward against a cliff or steepshoreline slope and westward at the upper rim of a similar but younger slope.Available exposures indicate that the configurations of the erosional platforms aremarkedly similar, over a wide range of soales, to that of the platform now being cutapproximately at sea level along the present coast. Grossly viewed, they slope verygently in a seaward (westerly) direction and are marked by broad, shallow channels andby upward projections that must have appeared as low spines and reefs when thebenches were being formed. The most prominent reefs, which rise from a few inches toabout 5 feet above neighboring parts of the bench surfaces, are composed of hard,thick-bedded sandstone that was relatively resistant to ancient wave erosion,As shown in the geologic sections (Figure 2.5-13), the surfaces of the platforms arenearly planar in some places but elsewhere are highly inegular in detail. The smallscale irregularities, generally 3 feet or less in vertical extent, include knob-, spine-, andrib-like projections and various wave-scoured plts, notches, orevices, and channels,Most of the upward projections closely correspond to relatively hard, resistant beds orparts of beds in the sandstone section, The depressions consistently mark the positionsof relatively soft silty or shaley sandstone, of very soft tuffaceous rocks, or of extensivelyjointed rocks. The surface traces of most faults and some of the most prominent jointsare in sharp depressions, some of them with overhanging walls, All these irregularitiesof detail have modern analogues that can be recognized on the bedrock bench nowbeing cut along the margins of Diablo Cove.The inierface between bedrock and overlying surficial deposits provides informationconcerning the age of youngest fault movements within the bedrock seotion. Thisinterface is nowhere offset by faults that were exposed in the trenches, but instead has2,548LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology54 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEbeen developed irregularly across the faults after their latest movements. Theconsistency of this general relatlonship was establlshed by hlghly detailed tracing andinspection of the contact as freshly exhumed by scallng of the trench walls, Gaps inexposure of the interface necessarily were developed at the intersections of trenches asin the exploralion at the Unit 1 site. At such localities, the bedrock was carefully laidbare so that alljoints and faults could be recognized and traced along the trench floorsto points where their relationships with the exposed interface could be determined,Corroborative evidence concerning the age of the most recent fault displacementsstems from the marine deposits that overlie the bedrock bench and form a basal part ofthe terrace section. That these deposits rest without break across the traces of faults inthe underlying bedrock was shown by the continuity of individualsedimentary beds andlenses that could be clearly reoognized and traced. As in other parts of the site area,some of the faults are directly capped by individual boulders, cobbles, pebbles, shells,and fossil bones, none of which have ben affected by fault movements, Thus, themost recent fault displacements in the plant slte area occurred before marine planationof the bedrock and deposition of the overlying tenace sediments.The age of the most recent faulting in this area is therefore at least 80,000 years. Moreprobably, it is at least 120,000 years, the age most generally asslgned to these terracedeposits along other parts of the California coastline. Evidence from the higher benchin the plant site area indicates a much older age, as the unfaulted marine deposits thereare considerably older than those that occupy the lower bench corresponding to the100 foot terrace. Moreover, it can be noted that ages thus determined for most recentfault displacements are minlmal rather than absolute, as the latest faulting actually couldhave occuned millions of years ago.During the Unlt 2 exploratory trenching program, specialattention was directed to thoseexposed parts of the wave-cut benches where no marine deposlts are present, andhence where there are no overlying reference materals nearly as old as the benchesthemselves, At such places, lhe bedrock beneath each bench has been weathered todepths ranging from less than 1 inch to at least l0 feet, a feature that evidentlycorresponds to a lengthy period of surface exposure from the time when the bench wasabandoned by the sea to the time when lt was covered beneath encroaching nonmarlnedeposits derived from hillslopes to the east,Stratification and other structural features are clearly recognizable in the weatheredbedrock, and lhey obviously have exercised some degree of control over localization ofthe weathering, Moreover, in places where upward p"ojections of bedrock have beengradually bent or rotationally draped in response to weathering and creep, theircontalned fractures and surfaces of movement have been correspondingly bent,Nowhere in such a section that has been disturbed by weathering have the materialsbeen cut by younger fractures that would represent straight upward projections ofbreaks in the underlying fresh rocks. Nor have such fractures been observed in any ofthe overlying nonmarine terrace cover.LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and Geology2.5-4955 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThus, the minimum age of any fault movement in the plant site area is based oncompatlble evidence from undlsplaced reference features of four kinds: (a) Pleistocenewave-cut benches developed on bedrock, (b) immediately overlying marine deposits. that are very slightly younger, (c) zones of weathering that represent a considerableI span of subsequent time, and (d) younger terrace deposits of nonmarine origin.I iz.s.z+.2.s.1. Bedrock Geology of the Plant Foundatlon ExcavatlonsBedrock was continuously exposed ln the foundation excavations for major structuralcomponents of Units 1 and 2, Outlines and inved elevations of these large openings,which ranged in depth from about 5 to nearly 90 feet below the original ground surface,are shown in Figures 2.5-15 and 2.5-16. The complex pattern of straight and curvedwalls with various positions and orientations provided an excellent three-dimensionalrepresentation of bedrock structure. These walls were photographed at large scales asconstruction progressed, and the photographs were used directly as a geologicmapping base. The largest excavations also were mapped in debil on a surveyedplanimetric base.Geologic mapping of the plant excavations confirmed the conclusions based on earlierinvestigations at the site. The exposed section of Monterey strata was found tocorrespond in lithology and structure trc what had been predicted from exposures at themouth of Diablo Canyon, along the sea cliffs in nearby Diablo Cove, and in the testtrenches, Thus, the plant foundation ls underlain by a moderately to steeply north-dipping sequence of thin to thick bedded sandy mudstone and fine-grained sandstone.The rocks at these levels are generally fresh and competent, as they lie below the zoneof intense near-surfaoe weathering,Several thin interbeds of claystone were exposed in the southwestern part of the plantsite in the excavations for the Unit 2 turbine-generator building, intake conduits, andoutlet struclure. These beds, which generally are less than 6 inches thick, are distinctlysofter than the flanking sandstone, Some of them show evldence of intemal shearing,Layers of tuffaceous sandstone and sills, dikes, and inegular masses of tuff and tuffbreccia are present in most parts of the foundation area. They tend to increase inabundance and thickness toward the south, where they are relatively near the largemasses of Obispo Tuff exposed along the coast south of the plant site,Some of the tuff bodies are conformable with the enclosing sandstone, but others aremarkedly discordant. Most are clearly intrusive. lndividual masses, as exposed ln theexcavations, range in thickness from less than 1 lnch to about 40 feet, The tuff breccia,which ls less abundant than the tuff, consists typically of small fragments of older tuff,pumice, or Monterey rocks ln a matrlx of fresh to highly altered volcanic glass, At thelevels of exposure 'n the excavations, both the tuff and tuff breccia are somewhat sotterthan the enclosing sandstone.2.5-50LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and GeologyEdlted for Clarlty - Revlsed SectlonNumbor56 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe stratification of the Mo-terey rocks dips generally northward throughout the plantfounc,lation area. Steepness of dips inoreases progressively and, in places, sharply fromnorlh to south, ranging from 10 to 15" on lhe north side of Unil 1 to 75 to 80'in lhe areaof Unit 2. A local reversal in direction of dip reflects a small ope fold or warp ln theUnit 1 area. The axis ol this fold ls parallel to the overall strike of the bedding, andstrata on the north limb dip eouthward at angles of 10 to 15'. The more generalsteepening of dips from north to south may reflect btrttressing by the large masses ofObispo Tuff south of the plant slle.The bedrock of the plant area is traversed throughout by fractures, including variousplanar, broadly curving, and irregular breaks, A dom"nant sel of steeply dipping tovertical joints trends northerly, nearly normal to the strike of bedding. Other joints arediverseiy oriented with strikes ln various directions and dips ranging from 10" to vertical.Many fractures curve abruptly, terminate against other breaks. or die out within singlebeds or groups of beds.Most of the joints are widely spaced, ranging from about 1 to 10 leet aparl, but wlthinsevaral northerly trending zones, ranging in wldth from 10 to 20 faet, closely spacednear vertical fractures give the rocks a blocky or platy appearance, The fracture andioint surfaces are predominantly clean and tighl, although some irregular ones are thinlycoated with clay or gypsum, Others could be traced into lhin zones of breccia withcalcite cement.Several small faults were mapped in the foundation excavations for Unit 1 and the outletstructure, A detaled discusslon of these breaks and their relationship to faults that weremapped earlier along the sea cllff and in the exploratory trenches is included in thefollowing section.I z,s,z+,z.s.a Relationships of Faults and Shea SurfacesSeveral subparallel breaks are recognizable on the sea cliff immediately south of DiabloCanyon, where they transect moderately thick-bedded sandstone of the kind exposed inthe exploratory trenches to the east. These breaks are nearly cuncordant wilh theI Uedrock stratification but, in general, they dip more steeply (refer trx'e* detaileclstruc-ture section, Figure 2.5-14) ancl trond more northerly than the stralification, Theirlrend differs sign'ficantly from much of their mapped trace, as the trace of each inclineclsurface is markedly affec'ted by the local steep topography. The indicated trend, whichprojects eastward toward ground north of the Unit 1 reactor slte, has been summedfrom numerous indiviclual measurements of strike on the sea clifi exposures, and ll alsocorresponds to the traoe of the main break as observed in nearly horizontal outcropwithin the tidal zone west of the cliff.The structure section shows all recognizable surfaces of faulting and shearing in thesea clif that are conlinuous for distances oi 10 feet or more. Taken together, theyrepresent a zone of d"slocation along which rocks on lhe norlh have moved upward withrespect to those on the south as lndicted by the attitude and roughness sense of2.5-51LBVP UFSAR Change RequeslSeismology and GeologyEdlled lor Clarlly - Revisecl Soctionl{umlerEdlted for Cladty - Re ter loAppllmbility Doternrlnallon Matrix llern#7%57 OCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEslickensides. The total amounl of movement cannot be determined by any directmeans, but it probably is not more than a few tens of feet and could well be less than10 feet. This ls suggesled by the following observed features;(1) All individual breaks are sharp and narrow, and the strata between themare essentially undeformed except for thoir gross inclination,(2) Some breaks plainly die out as traced upward along the cliff suace, andothers merge w"th adjoin"ng !reaks.

Maxlmum thlckness of gouge anywhero observed ls aboul112inch, and such exceptional ocurrences are conf"ned to shorl curvingsegments of the main break at the southerly margin of the zone.(5) No fault breccia is present: instoed, the zone represents transection ofotherwise undefonned rocks by sharply-def"ned breaks. No bedrock unitis cut off and juxtaposed against a unit of different lithology along any ofthe breaks.(6) Local prorninence of the exposed breaks, and especially the main one. isclue to slickensides, surface coatings of gypsum, and iron-oxide stainsrather than to any features reflecting large-scale movements.This zone of faulting cannot be regarded as a major tectonic elemenl, nor is it the kindof feature normally essociated with the generation of earthquakes. lt appears lnstead toreflect second-order rupturing related to a rnarked change in d'p of strata to lhe and its general sense of movement is what one would expect if the breaks weredeveloped duríng folding of the Monterey section against what amounts to a broadI buttress of Obispo Tuff farther south (r eler l')o4 geofogic map, Figure 2.5-8). That thefault and shear movements were ancient is positively indisated by upward truncation ollhe zone at the bench of marine eroslon along the base of lhe overlylng terracedeposits,As lndicated earlier, bedrock was conlinuously exposed along several exploratorytrenches.

Theplanl site acceleralion wrsis primarily dependent on lhe following parameters:Gutenberg-Richter magnitttcle and released energy, dislance from the earthquake focus, to the plant site, shear and compressional velocities of the rock media, and density ofI the rock. Rock properties are discussed under Section 2,5.2-1 .2.6, Sile EngineeringProperties.I The maximum rock accelerations that would occur at the DCPP site we.rea+ri estimatedas:Earthquake A . , . . 0,10 9 Earlhquake C . . , , 0.05 9Eadhquake B , . . . 0 12 g Earthquake D . . . . 0.20 9ln addition to the maximum aceleration. the frequency distributlon of earthquakemotions is important for comparison of the effects on plant structures and equipment. lngeneral, the parameters affecting the frequency distrlbution are distance, properties ofthe tr.snsmitting mdia, length of faulting, focus depth, and total energy release.Earthquakes that ntight reach the site after traveling over greal distances would lend tohave their high frequency waves filtered out. Earlhquakes that might be centered closeto the site would tend to produce wave forms al the site having minor low frequencycharacteristics.ln order to evaluate the frequency distribution of earlhquakes, the concept of thoresponse spectrum is used,For nearby earthquakes, the resulting response spectra accelerations would peaksharply at shorl periods and would decay rapidly at longer periods. Earthquake D woulclproduce such response spectra. The March 1957 San Francisco earthquake asrecorded in Golden Gate Park (S80"E component) was the same type. lt procluced amaximum recorded ground acceleration of 0.13 g (on rock) at a distance of aboutI miles from the epicenter. Since Earthquake D has an assignecl hypocentral distanceof 12 mlles, it would be expected to produce response speclra similar in shape to thoseof the 1957 event.LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeismology and GeologyEdlled for Clarlly - Revised SeclionNumberAdded for Clarily - New lntroductorypar4qrsph to defin# sub.s#clionconlenl.Addd lor Clarity - New Stb"sectionfor Design EarlhquakaUFSAR Secllon 3.7.1,1Refer to Appllcablllty DelermifiationMalrx ltem # 21Added for Clarfty - Refer toApplicabllity oelerminstion Matrix lten"fl4Ediled lor ClarllyEdlled lor Clarly.

Earthquakes A and C are events that would tendto produce this type of spectra. The intensity of shaking as indicated by the maximumpredicted ground accelerat'on shows that Earthquake C would always have lowerspectral accelerations than Earthquake A,Since the two shocks would have approximately the same shape spectra, Earthquake Cwould always have lower spectral accelerations than Earthquake A, and lt is thereforeeliminated from further consideralion. The north-south component of the 1940 ElCentro earthquake produced response spec'tra that emphasized the long periodcharacteristics descrlbed above. Earthquake A, because of lts distance from the plantsite, would be expected to produce response spectra similar in shape to those producedby the El Centro event, Smoothed response spectra for Earthquake A were constructedby normalizing the El Centro spectra to 0.10 g. These spectra, however, show smalleraccelerations than the corresponding spectra for Earthquake B (discussed in the nextparagraph) for all building periods, and thus Earthquake A is also eliminated fromfurther consideration,Earthquake B would tend to produce response spectra that emphasize the intermediateperiod range inasmuch as the epicenter ls not close enough to the plant site to producelarge high frequency (short-perod) effecls, and it is too close to the slte and too small inmagnitude to produce large low frequency (long-perlod) effects, The N69"Wcomponent to the 1952 Taft earthquake produced response spectra having suchcharacteristics. That shock was therefore used as a guide in establishing the shape ofthe response spectra that would be expected for Earthquake B.Following several meetings with the AEC staff and their consultants, the following twomodifications were made in order to make the criteria more conservative:(1) The Earthquake D time-hlstory was modified 'n order to obtain bettercontinuity of frequency distribution between Earthquakes D and B.(2) The accelerations of Earthquake B were increased by 25 percent in orderto provide the required margin of safety to compensate for possibleuncertainties in the basic earthquake data.Accordingly, Earthquake D-modified was derived by modlfying the S80"E component ofthe 1957 Golden Gale Park, San Francisco earthquake, and then normalizing to amaximum ground acceleration of 0.20 g. Smoothed response spectra for thisearthquake are shown in Figure 2.5-21 . Likewise, Earthquake B was derived bynormalizing the N69'W component of the 1952 Taft earthquake to a maximum groundacceleration of 0,15 g.

The nearesto'!producing area is the Arroyo Grande field, about 15 m'les to the southeast,The potential for future problems of ground instability at the site, because of nearbypetroleum produclion, can be assessed in terms of the geologic potential for theoccurrence of oil within, or offshore from, the San Luis Range. ln addition, assessmentcan be made in terms of the geologic relationshlps in the slte as contrasted wlthgeologic oonditions in places where oil field exploitation has resulted in deformation ofthe ground surface.As shown in Figures 2.5.6 and 2.5-7, the San Luis Range has the structural form of abroad synclinal fold, which in turn is made up of several tightly compressed anticlinesand synclines of lesser order. The configuration is not conducive to entrapment ofhydrocarbon fluids, as such fluids tend to migrate upward through bedd'ng andfracture-controlled zones of higher primary and secondary pormeabllity until they reacha local trap or escape into the near surface or surface environment.\/ithin the San Luis Range, the only recognizable structural traps are in local zoneswhere plunge reversals exist along the crests of the second-order anticlines. Suchstructures evidently were the actual or hoped-for targets for most of the exploratorywells that have been drilled in the San Luis Range, but none of these wells hasproduced enough oil or gas to record; lhus, the traps have not been effective, orperhaps the strata are essentially lacking in hydrocarbon fluids. Other conditions thatindicate poor petroleum prospects forthe Range include the general absence ofgood reservoir rocks wlthin the section and the relatively shallow basement of nonpetroliferous Franciscan rocks.ln the offshore, adjacent to the southerly flank of the San Luis Range, subsuffaceconditions are not well known, but are probably generally similar, Scattered datasuggest that a structural high, perhaps defined by a west-northwest plunging anticline,may exist a few miles offshore from DCPP site.

Suchdeformation includes tJifferential subs'dence, development ol horizontally compresslvestrain effeots within the central parts of subsidence bowls and horizontally extengivestrain effects around their margins, and development or activation of oracks and faults.Pullapart cracks and normal faults may develop in the merginal zone of extensivestrain, whlle reverse and thrust fuults sometimes occur in the central, compresslve partof subsidence bowls, These effects all can develop when extraction of petroleum,water, and sand, plus lowering of fluid pressures, result in compression within andadjacent to producing zones, and ettendant subsidence of the overlying ground. Othereffects, including rebound of the ground surface, fault activation, and oarthquakegenerat'on, have resulted from injection of fluid inlo the ground for purposes ofsecondary r!covery, subsidence control, and disposal of fluid waste.ln virtually all instances of ground-surfaoe deformatlon associated wlth petroleumproc{uclion, the producing field has been centered on an anticfinal structure, in generalrelatively broad and intemally faulted. The strata in the producing and ovellying parts ofthe section typically are poorly consolidatecl sandetone, slltstone, claystone, and shaleof low structural competence. Tlre field generally is one wlth relatlvely large production,wlth significant decline of fluid pressure ln the producing zones.The conditions just ciled can be contrastecl with those obtained in the vicinity of DCPPsite, where the rocts lie along the flank of a major ayncline.

No observedfeatures of detormation are large or continuous enough to impose signlficant effects onthe overall performance of the site foundation.The foundation excavations for Units 1 and 2 were extended below the zone of intensenear sudace weathering so that the exposed bedrock was found to be relatively freshand firm The princ'pal zones of structural weal(ness are associated with small bodiesof altered tuff and with internally shearecl beds of claystone, The claystone intra-beclshearwas expressed by the development of numerous slickenslded shear surfaceswithin parts of the beds, especially in places where the claystone had locally beensqueezed lnto pod like masses. The shearing and local squeezing clearly areexpressions of the preferential occurrence of differential adjustments in the relativelyweaker claystone beds durlng foldlng of the secllon.The claystone beds are locatized [n a part of lhe rock section that underlies thedischarge structure and extsncls across the southerly part of the Unit 2turbine-generator building, thence cont'nuing easlerly, along a strike through theground south of the Unit 2 containment. The bedding dips 48 to 75" north wlthin thiszone. lndividttal clayslone beds range from 112 inch to about 6 inches in thickness, andlhey occur as interbeds in the sandstone-mudslone rock section. The relationship of the claystone layers to the foundation excayation is such that theyI crop out in several nerrow bands across the floor ancl walls (refer tqs++ Figures 2,5-i5and 2,5-16). Thus, the claystone bed remalns confined within the rock section, exceptilr a narrow strip at the face of the exoevation. Because of the small amounl ofclaystone mass and the geometrc relationshlp of the steeply dipping claystoneinterbeds to the foundation structures, it was delermined that the finished structurewould nol be affected by any tendency of the clayslone to undergo further changes involume.LBVP UFSAR Change RequestSeisrnology and GeologyEdiled lor Clarily - Refer toApplicablty Dotermlnalion Mtrix trern#72,5-7783 DCPP UiJITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATEThe only are ln which Žlaystone swelling was monitored was along the nofth wall of lhelower part ot the large slot cut for the cooling water dlscharge structure. There areseveral thin (6 inches or less) claystone interbeds in the sandstone-mudstone section,Because the orientation of the bedding and the plane of the cul face dfffer by only aboul30", and the bedding dips steeply into the face, opening of the cut served both toremove lateral support from the rock behind the face, and also to expose the clay bedsto rainfall and runoff. This apparently resulted in both load refief and hydration swellingof the newly exposed claystone, which in turn caused some outward movment of thecut face. The movement then continued as gravity creep of the looally destablllzedmass of rock between the clayslone beds and the free face.

Boring and Log of Test Pits 1, 2, and 3 werelogged by the soll consultanti borings 2 and 3 were logged by PG&E engineeringpersonnel.

Because of lhe stiffness of the soil, hardness of the rock, andtype of drilling equlpment used, lhe undisturbed sanrples were obtained by pushing an18.inch steel lube that measured 2,5 inches in outside diameter, A Sprague &Henwood split-barrel sampler containing brass liners was used to obtain undisturbeclsoil samples from the test pits. The brass liners measured 2.5 inches in outsidedlanreter and 6 inches in height. Logs of the borings ancl pits are shown in Figures 2.5-23 through 2,5-27. The soils were classied in accordance with the Unified SoilClassification System presented in Figure 2.5-28.I Z.S,s+.2 Design Orlterla and AnalysesUndisturbed samples of the materials encountered in pits and borings were examinedby the soil consultant 'n lhe laboratory and were subsequenlly tested to determine theshear strenglh, moisture oontent and dry density. Slrain controlled, unconsolidated,undrained triaxial tests al field moisture were performed on the clay to evaluate theshear strength of the materials penelrated. (The samples were mantained at fielclmoisture since adverse moislure or seepage conditions were nol encountered duringtlris investigation nor previous investigations.) The conflning stess wes variecf inrelation to depth el which the undisturbed sample was taken, The test results arepresonted on the boring logs and are explained by the Key to Test Dala, Figure 2.5-29.The results of strength tests were correlated with the results devetopecl during earlierinvestigations of DCPP site Mohr circles of stresses at fallure (6 to 7 percent srain)were drawn for each strength test result, and lailure lines were developed tlrrouglrpoints representing one-half lhe devialor stresses, An average C-0 strength equal to acohes'on (C) value of 1000 psf and an angle of internal friction (0) of 29" was selectedfor the slope slability analysis. The analysis was checked by maintaining the angle ofinternal friction (0) constant at 190 and varying the cohesion (C) from 950 psf (weakestlayer) to 3400 psf(deepest and strongest layer).Because of the presence of large gravel sizes, il was not possible to eccuratelydetermine the stength of the sand and gravel lense. However, basec.l on tests on sandsamples from other parls of lhe site, an angle of internal friction of 35' was eeleoted esbeing the minimum available. An assumed rock strength of 5000 psf was usecl.

This analysis was checked using Bishop'smodified method. The static method of analysis was chosen because, for the soilsonditions al the site, lt was judged to be more conservative than a dynamic analysls,Because the overall strength of the rock would preclude a stability failure except along aplane of weakness which was not encountered in the borings or during the manygeologic mappings of the slope, only the stability of the soil over the rock was analyzed.The strength parameters were varied as previously discussed to detennine theminimum factor of safety under the mosl critical strength condition. For the staticanalysis exctuding horizontal forces, lhe factor of safety was compuled to be 3 Whenthe additional unbalanced horizontal force of 0,4 tmes the welght of the soll within thecritical surface combined wlth a vertical force of 0.26 times the weighl was included, lheminimum computed factor of safety was 1,1.On the basis of the investigation and analysis, lt was concluded that the slope adJacentto DCPP site would not experience instability of sufficient magnitude to damageadjacent safety-related structures.The above conclusion is substantiated by additional fielcl exploration, laboratory tests,I and dynamic analyses using finite element techniques.

Verification P roject UFSAR Enhancement I nltiatlveLBIE-Applicability Determination ApproachApproach DiscusslonThe primary objective of the Licensing Basis Verification ProJect (LBVP) Updated FinalSafetyAnalysis Report (UFSAR) Enhancement initiative is to modiff the DCPP UFSAR such that itclearly and succinctly states the licensing basis design requirements to which PG&E hascommitted for DCPP and which the U,S. Nuclear Regulatory Comm'sion (NRC) has approved.UFSAR changes are made i- accordance with applicable regulations, DCPP procedures, andindustry/NRC guidance, including the Nuclear Energy lnstitute's (NEl's) Guidelines for UpdatingFinal Safety Analysis Repods (NEl 98-03, Revision 1), NEI's Guidelines for 10 CFR 50,59lmplementafibn (NEl 96-07, Revision 1), and NRC's Standard Format and Content of SafetyAnalysis Reporfs for Nuclear Power Plants (Regulatory Guide [RG] 1 .70, Revision 1). By LBVPdefinition and scope, the project's UFSAR enhancement Change Requests (CRs) involvedocumentation-only changes; any physical changes that are identified as a result of LBVPreview will be done separate from and outside of the LBVP.LBVP-initiated UFSAR CRs will include up to four types of UFSAR changes, as follows:1. Added text (e.9., to explicitly identify the licensing basis design requirements)2. Revised text (e.9., to provide clarification)3, Deleted text (e,9., to remove excessive detail)4. Moved text (e.9., to reorganize existing information to improve reader understanding)Because the LBVP is not changing the physical plant, its design, ts design basis, or its licensingbasis, it is antic'pated that most, 'f not all, of the UFSAR changes will not be subject to 10 CFR50.59 (i.e., Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.59) and the LicensingBasis lmpact Evaluation (LBIE) review process will appropriately terminate at the ApplicabilityDetermination (AD) stage, Any individual change(s) for which the AD concludes that 10 CFR50,59 screening is required will be documented in a separate CR to fac'litate processing,The LBVP will generally submit UFSAR enhancements on a section-by-section basis (or bygroups of sections, as appropriate for the subject). The first LBVP enhancement changerequest, which has been incorporated, addressed Section 3.1 (including subsections, tables,and Appendix 3,14), That section describes DCPP's conformance with AEC/NRC GeneralDesign Criteria (GDCs) and the basic design requirements for plant structures, systems, andcomponents important to safe. The Section 3.1 revision was based on a thorough but generallicensing basis review for the plant. As the LBVP continues the enhancement process, anyconflicts identified between revised Section 3,1 and other sections of the UFSAR will beresolved in accordance with procedure OM7.lD1. The licensing basis review for the UFSARsection(s) that are the subject of th's enhancement CR identified the applicable GDCs andfound no conflicts with UFSAR Section 3.1 (an inconsistent / ambiguous text reference to GDC44,1971was deleted).The specific guidance that is expected to be applicable to disposit'on LBVP-initiated UFSARCRs at the LBIE AD stage includes:103 DCPP Procdure TS,3.lD2, Licensrnq Basls /mpacf Evaluafions:Block 2i lnstructions (Sec. 8.12, Note 2) - "UFSAR changes that can be excluded fromthe requirement to perform a 10 CFR 50,59 ... review include editorial changes,clariflcations to improve reader understanding, ,,. and incorporation of informationapproved by the NRC as a result of a license amendment request or other docketedcorrespondence."r Block 3 on Attachment 1 (AD) Form - "A 10 CFR 50.59 ,.. screen is NOT requiredbecause ALL aspects of the activity .., are covered in full in another LBIE review.":Attachment 2, Section 9,a, sixth bullet - "Examples of editorial non-technical correct'onsallowed (without a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation) include ...
