DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION THE TOLEDO EDISCN COMPANY (Docket No. 50-356)
The attached is a list of comments resulting fecm a preliminary review of the PSAR reference documents (see attached list) for the Davis-Sesse Plant. The review was primarily directed toward seismic considera t ions ,
but a general review of the structural characteristics and design con-cepts was perfor~ed. The questions and ccmments have been arranged in the following categories:
- 1. Site and Environment ll. Nuclear Steam System 111. Reactor Building and Other Structures IV. Class ! Piping Systems V. Class ! Equipment k

- 1. SITE AND ENVIRONMENT
- 1. It is not clear which response spectra and/or acceleration time-history will be used in the analysis, in Appendix 2C, it is stated on page 2C-36 that either of the following may be used:
- b. The time-histories recommended in Section Ill.D.2.d and Table 111-4, pages 2C-32, 2C-35, and 2C-42 res:ectively, or
- c. Both the response spectra and the time-histories.
On page 5.17, section 5.2.2.3.8, it is stated that Housner's aver-age response spectrum normalized to the peak ground accelerations for the site will be used.
Thus the applicant will be using any one of several criteria, none of which are necessarily equivalent. We request that the applicant clarify the seismic design criteria and state specifically which spectra are to be used in the analysis. In addition, for the time-history analyses, we request that the applicant provide a compar-ison of the criteria spectra and the spectra from the time-history.

For those Class I items which will be lccated within or adjacent to Class Il structures please explain in detail what precautions will be taken to ensure that the failure of the Class 11 structure will not adversely affect the Class I items. For example, what will be the design loads on the protective enclosure which sur-rounds the critical items in the Turbine Building (pages 5-42 and SA-3)? How will these loads be determined?

This statement is unacceot-able, and it is neccessary to know exactly which systems will be treated by dynamic analyses r.'ethods and for which systems it will be considered " impractical" to perform a dynamic analysis.
The use of the " maximum value of the acceleration response curve" (page SA-4) is not an adequate procedure in itself for seismic design. This " maximum" acceleration can te greatly exceeded for multi-degree-of-freedom systems.
