j ICP-391.007, Digital Strong Motion Accelerograph Calibration

!

ICP-391.008, Strong Motion Accelerograph Calibration Surveillance records reviewed for the above equipment were those conducted in March, April, June, August, and September 1987 and in January 1988. The inspector also observed ongoing tests being performed on the seismic l instrumentation on the Reactor Building Foundation.

! Seismic instrumentation examined by the inspector included the seismic

! instrumentation on the Reactor Building Foundation Elevation 408,

Auxiliary Building Foundation Elevation 374, the instrumentation panel l

in the relay room of the control building and the seismic annunicator in

! the control room. The V. C. Summer plant is designed for three type of

,

earthquakes. These are a Level I earthquake that is observed but does not l activate the annunciator alarms in the control room, a Level 2 earthquake that is observed and activates annunicator alarms in the control room

! indicating motion less than the Operating Base Earthquake (0BE), and a Level 3 earthquake that activates annunciation alarms in the control room indicating motions greater than or equal to the OBE.

.

The OBE used in the design of a nuclear facility is based on the largest historical earthquak This is the 1886 Charleston earthquak At V. C. Summer, the OBE is represented by a Peak Ground Accelerations of 0.10g for structures founded on rock and 0.15g for structures founded on soil. The safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) is an earthquake based on the largest tectonic earthquake recurring near the nuclear facility, V. C. Summer, which was the 1913 Union County earthquake. At V. C. Summer, the SSE is represented by a Peak Ground Acceleration of 0.15g for structures founded on rock and 0.25g for structures founded on sai Within the areas examined, it appeared that FSAR and Technical Specifications for seismic monitoring were being me .
