1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Shearon Harris Unit 1 Detailed Control Room DesignReview (DCRDR) was discussed at a 4'arch 25, 1983 meetingbetween the NRC Human Factors Engineering Branch and theCarolina Power & Light Company (CP&L). During the meeting,CP&L agreed to provide the following additional informationto the NRC on the DCRDR:
o Description of the DCRDR Program Plan
o Disposition of the DCRDR Summary Reportrecommendations
o Description of DCRDR team composition and theirqualifications
Sections 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 of this submittal provide therequested information. Zn addition, Appendices A, B, and Cprovide the detailed resumes of the key members of the DCRDRteam.
The information included in this submittal supplementsthe DCRDR Summary Report filed with the NRC Staff onDecember 7, 1982. As supplemented, CP&L believes that theDCRDR Summary Report meets the requirements of Sections5.2(a) and 5.2(b) of Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 (GenericLetter No. 82-33) dated December 17, 1982. Furthermore,CP&L believes that the information provided to the Staff onthe DCRDR attests to the extensive, good faith effortsinitiated by CP&L to incorporate human factors engineeringconcepts into the control room design prior to thepromulgation of the DCRDR regulatory requirements; describesthe commitment by CP&L to major revisions to control roomdesign, arrangement, hardware and procedures; anddemonstrates that the SHNPP Unit 1 control room will enhancethe safety of plant operations.
1-1
2.0 DCRDR PROGRAM PLAN
2.1 Introduction
The Shearon Harris Unit 1 Detailed Control Room DesignReview (DCRDR) was conducted from April 1980 to January 1981.Draft NUREG CR-1580 was used as the primary source ofcriteria and the review was conducted using human factorstest and evaluation methods and procedures. The testprocedures were modified as required for the conduct of adesign review as opposed to evaluating a.plant in operation.The SHNPP-1 DCRDR Summary Report was completed prior to theSeptember 1981 issuance of NUREG-0700, which provided NRC~uidance for conducting a ncRCR. CRaL is confident that theSHNPP-1 DCRDR will provide results comparable to those thatcould be achieved by following strictly the ~uidancecontained in NUREG-0700. The SHNPP-1 DCRDR will meet allNUREG-0737.
Due to the stage of construction, the majority of thereview was conducted using engineering drawings, vendordocumentation, and other plant design documents. The Harrissimulator was also used where applicable. This was primarilyfor component surveys and to perform an assessment. ofemergency procedures and operator tasks and activities.
- A review process was initiated by CP&L to ensure thehighest quality DCRDR possible. This process consisted ofEssex Corporation personnel generating the Human EngineeringDiscrepancies (HEDs) based on criteria in Draft NUREG/CR1580 and the Essex Corporation field project managerproviding the first review and verification. Next the CP&Lproject manager and his assistant reviewed the HEDs foraccuracy and completeness and concurred w'th the potentialoperational problems the HEDs indicated. After this review,Essex Corporation management reviewed and initialed theHEDs. HEDs were then presented to a group of people at thesite for review and resolution. These people consisted ofEssex Corporation, Ebasco, Westinghouse, and CP&L training,engineering, construction, and operations personnel.
A number of features could not be assessed due to theearly stages of construction, such as light and noiselevels. These features were defined in Human EngineeringRequirements Specifications. These specifications, orHERSs, will be used during final design evaluation,construction, or procurement.
The DCRDR addressed three major areas of Human FactorsEngineering (HFE) when evaluating the control room designfeatures. These are:

(
o The main control board layout and design, includingannunciator arrangements
o Anthropometrics and workspace which addressedreach and vision envelopes on equipment andequipment arrangement in the control room.
o Emergency procedures, operator tasks, and asystems operation review
The DCRDR was not conducted in three independentsequential processes. Rather, these three areas werereviewed and evaluated in a coordinated parallel manner, asdata and information generated in one area was frequentlyneeded in another. As an example, it is essential for anadequate control board layout review to include proceduralinformation and anthropometric data.
2.2 MCB Review
The Main Control Board (MCB) review revealed a numberof component grouping and sequencing problems. A redesigneffort for the control board layout which corrected all ofthe identified discrepancies was performed as directed bythe CP&L Project Manager. This redesign effort required asystem-by-system reconfiguration of all components on theboard and was accomplished by CP&L and Essex personnel usinga scaled 2-dimensional mockup with movable components.Demarcation, mimics, and labels were also developed duringthis activity. The developed layouts were translated intoengineering drawings and given a final review by CP&L,Westinghouse, Ebasco, and Essex.
During the MCB redesign effort all annunciator windowswere reviewed for message content, function, and MCB location.The current MCB reflects the component layout, panel labels,demarcation and mimic lines, and the rearranged annunciatorswhich resulted from this redesign work.
Essex Corporation and CP&L believe that when theWestinghouse Owner's Group task analysis and genericguidelines become available and SHNPP EOPs are written, thata verification and validation will reveal few if any HumanFactors concerns with the current MCB.
2.3 Anthropometrics and Workspace
The anthropometrics and workspace review involved twoseparate activities. First, reach and vision envelopes weredeveloped for the MCB profile and for vertical panelconsoles. This was done prior to the MCB componentrearrangement work and is described in Appendix C of the
2 2

E
l 0f
I
Summary Report.'hese data were based upon existinginformation for the 5th percentile female through the 95thpercentile male general population. The data then served asreach and vision criteria for MCB layout and the othercontrol room equipment.
2.4
The control room workspace was evaluated using preliminarycontrol room equipment arrangement drawings, draft vendordrawings, and sketches of the backpanel configurations.This evaluation is described in Appendix D of the summaryreport. Operator visual and physical access to thesebackpanels were evaluated and recommended rearrangementswere reviewed by CP&L, Ebasco, and Westinghouse. Finalrearrangement recommendations were implemented withappropriate changes made to cable trays and conduitpenetrations during control room floor construction. Majorchanges made to the arrangement improved operator physicalaccess by shortening the pathways between various locationsat the MCB to each backpanel. Physical obstacles were alsoeliminated which blocked many pathways on the originalarrangement. Visual access was improved by movingbackpanels closer to various MCB locations and arrangingequipment so visual line-of-sights from various locationswere not blocked. The current arrangement represents asignificant improvement not only over the original SHNPP-1layout but over many of the traditional arrangements foundthroughout the industry. The rearrangement eliminated longrows of backpanels, which, due to their component configur-ations, frequently present large homogeneous visual fieldsto the operator; eliminated visual and physical obstaclesbetween the operator MCB positions and the backpanels; andalso located backpanels relative to their related areas onthe MCB. As an example, startup and generator relay back-panels were originally located across the room and closestto the nuclear safety systems on the MCB. The rearrangementplaced them much closer to the turbine-generator area of theMCB and separated them out from an original string of10 backpanel cabinets.
EOPs and Systems Review
Emergency Operator Procedure (EOP) performance andsystems operations were assessed continually during thecourse of the DCRDR. Harris emergency operating procedureswere not available during the review period; however, CPaLrevised and modified a set of H. B. Robinson Unit 2 EOPs foruse on the SHNPP-1 simulator. These modified H. B. Robinsonprocedures were also reformatted to incorporate humanfactors concerns such as readability and comprehensibility.
These procedures were used at the simulator to video-tape operator act'vities during simulated real-time andslowed time emergencies. Abnormal and normal operations

were also video recorded. These video tapes were given anin-depth, iterative review by senior human factorsspecialists. Developed task flows were analyzed for varioushuman factors concerns such as operator task loading,operator information/ action coordination, andoperator-operator interactions.
Other operational information was obtained fromH. B. Robinson operators cross-trained to SHNPP-1 andthrough document reviews such as the FSAR and systemdescriptions.
SHNPP-1 symptom-based EOP's are currently underdevelopment and will be task analyzed prior toimplementation. The results of this analysis will be fedback into the EOP's and the DCRDR.
2.5 Human Engineering Requirements Specifications (HERS)Development and Use
As stated earlier, a number of design features such aslight, noise levels, and components yet to be purchasedcould not be evaluated. Instead, Human EngineeringRequirements Specifications, called HERSs, were developedand then applied as controls for construction andprocurement. Data collected at the simulator on such itemsas controls and meters were used as input into these HERSs.A complete list of the HERSs developed include:00000000000000000
Annunciator SystemsColor Codes or Strip Chart Recorders Pens and PointersComputer SystemsDemarcation and Mimic LinesLabelingRotary Selector SwitchesStatus/Monitor Light BoxesVertical IndicatorsAmbient IlluminationControl Room FurnishingsControl Room Temperature, Humidity, and VentilationEmergency ProceduresNoiseProceduresProtective EquipmentTemporary LabelsVoice Communications, Unaided and Telephone
CPSL is utilizing the HERS. to ensure human factorsprinciples are considered in the areas which could not beevaluated during the SHNPP-1 DCRDR.

4.0 EVALUATION TEAM COMPOSITION
4.1 Introduction
The SHNPP-1 Detailed Control Room Design Review (DCRDR)evaluation team was composed of Essex Corporation and CPGLpersonnel, which represented a cross-section of the requireddisciplines. In addition, AE and NSSS vendorrepresentatives provided any required review and comments ondesign philosophies, discrepancy analysis, and changeimplementation requirements. The evaluation team can bemost easily described as three functionally different groupswhich were: the Human Factors Evaluation Group, the HumanFactors/Operations Support Group, and the ProjectManagement/Nuclear Operations/Plant Engineering and DesignGroup. The first two groups were composed primarily ofEssex Corporation Human Factors Specialists, while the thirdgroup was composed of CPaL personnel representing NuclearOperations, Construction Engineering, various DesignEngineering disciplines, Training, and IndustrialEngineering. This three-group configuration does not implythat separate, non-communicative roles were performed.Quite the reverse; this structure imposed an administrativecoordination over the review which allowed maximumflexibility. CP&L provided the Project Management/Coordination function during the course of the DCRDR evalu-ation. Interaction on an individual or group basis wasconstant throughout the evaluation period. Subsequentparagraphs address the roles of these groups, respon-sibilities of the group members, and the member's qualifi-cations.
4.2 Human Factors Evaluation Group
'This group was composed of six intermediate- andjunior-level human factors specialists from EssexCorporation, located in Raleigh, North Carolina.

SECTION 3.0 MAINCONTROL BOARD DESIGN
3.1 Introduction
The SHNPP-1 main control board (MCB) design was evaluated using CPRL-suppliedlayout drawings.
3.2 Procedures
a. The MCB drawings were reviewed for component location discrepancies andHED reports were written for all identified problems. All HED reports were reviewed andoperationally verified by CPRL operations specialists.
b. Preliminary design review meetings were held between CPRL and Essex atwhich previously developed conceptual sketches were discussed. The purpose of thesemeetings was to illustrate various human factors design concepts such as functionalgrouping, operational sequencing, demarcation, and hierarchical labeling.
'c. A redesign effort was conducted by CPRL to resolve all identified groupingand sequencing problems with the MCB. Essex furnished human factors support duringthis activity. CPRL constructed a half-scale mockup on which component modules couldbe moved to various locations for reevaluation.
d. Preliminary arrangements were developed and translated into front paneldrawings by CPBcL. Design review meetings were held at which CPRL, Westinghouse,EBASCO, and Essex evaluated the proposed MCB design.
e. Final front panel design drawings were produced by CPRL which addressed allissues and concerns identified at the design reviews.
f. Individual components and other control room features were evaluated usingchecklists in the Harris simulator control room. Preliminary HED reports were generatedby Essex and reviewed by CPRL for their applicability to the anticipated SHNPP-1 controlroom.
g. When judged applicable these HED reports were used to either trigger thedevelopment of an HERS or to alert SHNPP-1 engineering and start-up personnel ofpotential human factors problems in the anticipated design.
3.3 Results
a. A total of 130 final HED reports were generated during the Harris review.These reports were generated based upon a review of the SHNPP-1 MCB design drawingsand on a review of the Harris simulator.
b. A total of 09 of the 130 HED reports identified potential grouping and
sequencing problems on the MCB.
c. The remaining 85 HED reports were based upon the Harris simulator controlroom. These reports addressed the physical characteristics of various types and styles ofcomponents on the simulator, and also addressed general simulator control room featuressuch as the readability of labeling, room communications, instrument glare, and roomillumination levels.
d. The redesign effort on the MCB resulted in the correction and resolution of allthe grouping and sequencing discrepancies. Panel labeling problems were also correctedor resolved during this activity. Reduced copies of the final arrangement drawings appearin Appendix B. The primary results of the redesign activities were:
o The arrangement of all system-, function-, or logically-relatedcomponents into coherent physical groups
o The arrangement of these groups on the MCB in such a way as tooptimally support operator use and movement during emergency,abnormal, and normal plant operations
o The arrangement of all components within groups to support operatortask requirements
o The application of demarcation lines around all groupso The application of hierarchical labeling to all groups, sub-groups, and
special function components
o V/here required, the application of mimic lines and mimic symbology.
e. Various HERSs were developed as a response to a number of the HED reports(see Section 2.0).
3.0 Recommendations
a. Essex recommends that the CPRL-developed MCB design be implemented forSHNPP-1. It is recognized that future additions to this design are likely; therefore, it isrecommended that the design techniques and review processes used for this initialdevelopment be rigorously applied to any subsequent MCB modifications. 1'his will ensurethat all changes incorporate good human factors and operational requirements and arefully integrated into the current MCB design.
b. Essex further recommends that all discrepancies identified on the remainingHED reports be resolved.
DRAFT SER OPEN ITEM 22 (SGEB/OOT-4)
gUESTIQN:
During construction, measurements were taken on monuments to recordvertical and horizontal movements of structures. Groundwater levelsalso were recorded. The staff requires the applicant to provide asummary of these measurements,and to describe plans and criteria forfuture monitoring of structure movements and piezometric levels.
RESPONSE:
This is a Hydrologic & Geotechnical Engineering Branch Open item inthe Draft Safety Evaluation Report (DSER), and part of the item waspreviously addressed in FSAR Safety Review Question 220.06.Attachment I provides the response to Question 220.06.
During construction, the settlement of structures is monitored inaccordance with SHNPP Work Procedure WP-25, entitled "FieldEngineering." A summary of the settlement readings is provided inAttachment II, which is also identified as WP-25, Exhibit 2 andExhibit 4. This summary includes the quarterly set:tlement readingsobtained at 55 dedicated, structural locations. Some of thelocations are no longer accessible, and some locations were recentlydedicated. An examination of Attachment II is self-explanatory inthis respect.
Groundwater elevations are being monitored by Nuclear PlantConstruction Department (NPCD) in accordance with TechnicalProcedure TP-35, entitled "Monitoring Groundwater Elevation andMarker Movement." Wells and piezometers in the Power Block area arebeing read on a weekly basis. After pumping of the groundwaterceases, NPCD may re-evaluate the interval between readings. Thebasis for groundwater monitoring is fully explained in the FSARSection 2.4.13.
The entire drainage area of Buckhorn Creek northwest of theJonesboro Fault is underlaid by Triassic rocks of the Newark Group.Both the Triassic and Pre-Triassic rocks are overlaid by clay soilsand saprolite. Numerous soil borings drilled at the plant island,as well as in the auxiliary reservoir area, confirm the existence ofup to about 15 ft. of clay soil and saprolite overlaying theTriassic rocks. Excavation and mapping of trenches in the plantsite area, as well as excavation and borings for the Site FaultInvestigation (Re ference FSAR Pg. 2. 4 . 13-1), also indicate thepreponderance of clay and silty loam soils.
The source of groundwater in the area is the rock units of theSanford Formation of the Newark Group (Triassic). They consist ofclaystone, shale, siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate, andfanglomerate. An exception to this lithology is the intrusion of

thin diabase dikes in the rock (Reference FSAR pgs.2.4.13-1 and2.4.13-2).
The primary permeability of the Triassic rocks is very low, and therocks appear to be essentially dry. The Triassic rocks have frac-tures resulting from stress releases; the fractures provide secon-dary permeability in the rocks and are filled with water below thewater table. Recharge in the area occurs by percolation of pre-cipitation through the overburden; however, most of the precipita-tion is either returned to the atmosphere through evapo-transpirationor becomes surface runoff.. Therefore, natural recharge to theaquifer occurs at a very low rate.
The precipitation which percolates downward is confined laterally bythe diabase dikes and vertically by the absence of open fractures orjoints at depth in the Triassic rocks. Numerous attempts to developgroundwater supplies from deep Triassic rocks have not been success-ful since these rocks are tight and relatively dry. However,groundwater is developed in the Triassic basin from hornfels zonesadjacent to diabase dikes. The relationship of dikes and fracturesto groundwater flow is illustrated diagrammatically on FSAR Figure2.4.13-3. The use of groundwater in the site region is limited,because of the low yield of the aquifer; most of the wells are fordomestic use.
Investigations conducted at the site reveal that geologic andhydrologic conditions in the site area are essentially the same asthe regional conditions described in FSAR Section 2.4 .13.1.1. Theplant site has been graded to Elevation 260 ft. msl. The pre»gradedsite elevations ranged from about 210 ft. to 280 ft. msl; the landsurface generally slopes towards the east and southeast.
Groundwater at and around the site occurs principally within jointedrock, generally at depths of 30 to 90 ft. below the original groundsurface. Within the Newark Group, larger reserves of groundwateroccur in the proximity of diabase dikes. Several small dikes werefound in the plant area; groundwater supplies for use during plantconstruction have been developed in the proximity of the dikes.Seven wells with a total capacity of about 200 gal../min. werecompleted during 1973 and are being used during the constructionphase. Additionally, eight new wells, which increased the totalcapacity of all wells to about 450 gal./min., were developed in theproximity of diabase dikes during 1977-1979 (FSAR Table 2.4.13-2).
Site wells are listed in FSAR Table 2.4.13-2~and they are shown onFSAR Figure 2.4.13-1. Groundwater is being used at the site duringthe construction phase for (1) concrete batch plant and concreteplacement, (2) office and plant use, and (3) grouting. Groundwateris not expected to be used for plant operation after the plantpotable water system becomes operational in 1982. Estimated monthlygroundwater consumpt'on at the site for .'larch, 1978, throughFebruary, 1980, is shown in FSAR Table 2.4.13-3. The estimatedplant water requirements through the year 1982 are shown in FSARTable 2.4.13-4.

A piezometer-level map (FSAR Figure 2.4.13-1), based on water-levelmeasurements taken before commencement of full-scale plant con-struction, shows that the general groundwater movement in the plantarea at that time was to the southeast toward White Oak Creek. Mostof the original site-area piezometers have been lost due to con-struction activities; therefore, sixteen new piezometers wereconstructed in D'ecember, 1979. A piezometeric-level map, which isbased on water-level readings in production wells, the sixteen newpiezometers, and the two old piezometers . taken during the winter of1979-1980, is shown on FSAR Figure 2.14.13-2. The map is based onthe highest wat;er levels observed during this period (FSAR Tables2.4.13-5 and 2.4.13-6), and they do not necessarily represent staticwater levels. FSAR Figure 2.4.13-2 shows that the general directionof groundwater movement at the site is still to the southeast towardWhite Oak Creek.
Yields from known wells in the area generally range up to 20 gpm,but they average only about 5 gpm or about 0.03 gpm/ft. of well(Reference 2.4.13-2 and 2.4.13-4). Generally, the principal areasof groundwater storage in the Triassic Basin are found near diabasedikes which have intruded the Triassic sediments. Fifteen wellsthat were developed in the proximity of the dikes in the site areaare providing water for use during plant construction.
Even though Triassic rocks constitute the major groundwater sourcewithin the site environs, they exhibit very low permeability forgroundwater storage and movement. Constructed in the Triassicformation of western Wake County, there are 57 wells that have anaverage depth of 158 ft., and of these wells, 16 percent yield lessthan 1 gpm, while the average production rate is 5 gpm. Suchrelatively low permeability also explains why the Triassic formationis the lowest producing groundwater source in the region (ReferenceFSAR pg. 2.4.13-2). Numerous borings carried out for soils andgeologic information in the plant site and reservoir areas confirmthe very low permeability of the Triassic formation. Thepermeabilities of materials in the Auxiliary Reservoir and SHNPPsite areas, based on pump-in packer tests, are summarized in FSARTable 2.4.13-7.
Six site wells located in the proximity of diabase dikes yieldedspecific capacity values from 24-hour driller's tests that rangefrom 0.16 gpm/ft. to 0.59 gpm/ft'. The specific capacity valuescorrespond to transmissivity values of about. 40 ft.~/day to 130ft, /day (Reference FSAR pg. 2.4.13"5).
The beds below the surface clay and saprolite zones appear to havetwo distinct components of permeability. There is a very lowpermeability in the materials themselves. The second component, ofpermeability comes from fractures that have resulted from stressrelease. This is the principal component which is measured aspermeability during pump-in tests at the site.
Small amounts of groundwater were encountered in some trenches wherefractured rock was evident. After their excavation, the trenches
WKLH06
continued to hold surface runoff due to the low permeability of thefine-grained soil and rock materials.
Down-hold pressure testing of the soils and of the Sanford formationwas carried out in borings located in the plant site area and in themain dam area (FSAR Sections 2.5.1. and 2.5.6.). In the plant sitearea, 10 ft. intervals were tested under pressures up to 110 psi inborings BP62, BP68, and BP70 (FSAR Figure 2.5.1-14). Intervalstested ranged from depths of 10 ft. to 145 ft. Several isolatedzones registered small water losses under high pressure.
The results of the pressure tests, coupled with the soil conditionsobserved and mapped in the trenches, confirm that the soils andfoundation materials and the permeabilities listed in FSAR Table2.4.13-7 are representative of those found at the site. At theplant site area, the few zones that exhibited small water lossesduring pressure testing were isolated intervals that are locatedbetween dense, impervious rock layers which registered no waterlosses during pressure testing. The impermeable zones ranged inthickness from 10 to 50 ft. above and below each interval that had awater. loss.
Hydrogeologic information from borings and published data indicatethat the small water losses in the above mentioned borings were dueprimarily to fracture confluence instead of formation texture orpermeability changes in the Sanford formation of the Newark Group.
Groundwater is being utilized at the site during construction.During plant operation, it will still be used by the non-operationspersonnel until construction is completed. FSAR Table 2.4.13-4shows the total site groundwater use for the years 1980 through1982. Site groundwater usage is expected to gradually decrease dueto the decline in construction activities.
FSAR Figures 2.4.13-1 and 2.4.13-2 compare the pre-constructionpiezometric level to that existing during the winter of 1979-1980.The groundwater levels, which have been affected considerably, aredeclining due to pumpage from the site wells. Cones of depressionhave developed on the northeastern and the southwestern sides of theplant around wells which are being pumped. Directions ofgroundwater movement have been reversed in the proximity of somewells, as depicted by the cones of depression. The levels areexpected to return to 'near normal as the construction use of waterdeclines.
The ifain Reservoir operating level is Elevation 220 ft. msl, and theelevation of the Auxiliary Reservoir is Elevation 252 ft. msl.Three main cones of depression have groundwater levels lower thanElevation 190 ft. msl. When the reservoirs are at operating levels,the subsurface flow of water is toward the cones of depression fromthe two reservoirs and the water levels in the cones of depressionare expected to gradually achieve partial recovery. After con"struction is completed and the groundwater level has recovered,groundwater will move toward the Hain Reservoir.
WKLH06
Sixteen piezometers that were installed in November, 1979 areavailable at the plant site~in addition to two pre-constructionpiezometers. The piezometers and site wells pr'ovide data on waterlevels, hydraulic gradient, and direction of flow. Mater levels inpiezometers and site wells are measured periodically and analyzed toassess the effect of construction on the site groundwater regime.
The subsurface portions of Seismic Category I structure on the plantisland are designed for hydrostatic loadings with groundwater atElevation 251 ft. msl. A permanent dewatering system is notutilized for the Shearon Harris. Nuclear Power Plant. Groundwateroccurring in widely separated joints in the rock did not signifi-cantly affect construction. Any rain or surface water that accu-mulated during construction was pumped out by sump pumps.
The pre-construction piezometric-level map, shown on FSAR Figure2.4.13-1, indicates that the piezometric levels were higher thanElevations 251 ft. msl under some sections of the plant. However,the lack of significant inflow of groundwater in the completed plantblock excavation indicates that groundwater in the rock occurs onlyin widely separated joints and bedding planes. The perimeter of theplant structure up to the top of the mats has been backfilled withresidual soil which is of very low permeability (estimated to beless than 10 ft./yr). Additionally, the winter 1979-1980piezometric-level map (FSAR Figure 2.4.13-2) shows .Chat water levelsbeneath the plant area are well below Elevation 251 ft. msl.
The source of surface water higher than the design basis groundwaterlevel is the Emergency Service Mater Intake Channel of the AuxiliaryReservoir, which has an operating level at Elevation 252 ft. msl,the closest point of which comes to within about 300 ft. of theplant island. The Auxiliary Reservoir will not, raise thegroundwater elevation beneath the plant island above Elevation 251msl for the following reasons:
a) The residual soil underlying the reservoir is of very lowpermeability as indicated by testing.
b) After the Auxiliary and Hain Reservoirs are filled, groundwaterwill move from the reservoirs to the cones of depression created bythe pumpage from wells. However, the major portion of thegroundwater flow will be from the Auxiliary Reservoir to the HainReservoir.
c) Groundwater from the Auxiliary Reservoir will start movingtoward the plant island at an Elevation of about 252 ft. msl.However, the water level will be at a much lower level than Ele-vations 251 ft. i'fSL by the time it reaches the plant island due tothe hydraulic head loss as it flows through the low permeabilitymaterials for a distance of about 300 ft.

220.06(3.7.2)
Discuss the surveillance plan for the structuralsettlement and demonstrate why such surveillance programis adequate to detect excessive settlements. Defineexcessive settlement and discuss what it means in terms ofstructural adequacy by translating the settlement tostresses and strains of structural elements. Discussplans for corrective measures once excessive-settlement isdetected. Demonstrate quantitatively why such correctivemeasures will be adequate in protecting structures fromdynamic and statistic loads as well as from furthersettlement in the future., Include all the Category Istructures in the above discussions, buried structures aswell as the structures above the ground level.
RESPONSE: With the exception of the Main Dam and Auxiliary Dam,there is no planned systematic testing or surveillanceprograms for the Category I structures (FSAR Sections3.8.3.7, 3.8.4.7, 3.8.5.7). Foundation mats for CategoryI structures are supported by rock (FSAR Sections3.8.1.1.1, 3.8.4, and 3.8.5). The bearing pressurescalculated for Category 1 structures are below the designbearing capacity resulting in a safety factor of 36 withrespect to the ultimate bearing capacity (FSAR Sections3.8. 1.4.3, 2.5.4. 11, and 2.5.0.4). The subgrade reactionacting on the Category I foundation mats-%as beenconsidered as elastic (FSAR Section 3.8.5.4.1). Thepseudo-elastic compression of the bedrock results in asettlement that is essentially taking place during theload application'or construction phase (FSAR Section2.5.0.4). The perimeter of Category I foundation mats arein direct contact with essentially impermeable Triassicrock. The clay/saprolite layer has been removed resultingin a negligible potential for subsidence (FSAR Section2.5.4.6.8, Appendix 2.5E). The calculated settlements ofCategory I structures range from 0.008 feet to 0.035 feet(FSAR Section 2.5.4.10.1.3., Table 2.5.4-9). Thestructural acceptance criteria relating to stresses,strains, and deformations of foundation mats oF Category Istructures are discussed in FSAR Sections 3.8.1.5,3.8.3.5, 3.8.4.5., and 3.8.5.5. The Category I electricaland piping systems that are not supported on sound rockare designed to maintain system integrity based on designsettlement (FSAR Section 3.8.5). The Main and AuxiliaryDams are to be performance monitored (FSAR Section2.5.6.8). SHNPP will comply with the requirements ofUSNRC Reg. Guide 1;127, Rev'. 1, March 1978, "INSPECTION OFWATER"CONTROL STRUCTURES ASSOCIATED WITH NUCLEAR POWERPLANTS" as stated in FSAR Section 1.8.
