This report is a description of the scoping quantification study which selected the external events to be included in the Level 3 PRA of the LaSalle County Nuclear Generating Station Unit 2. The study was performed by NTS/Structural Mechanics Associates (SMA) for Sandia National Laboratories as part of the Level 1 analysis being performed by the Risk Methods Integration and Evaluation Program (RMIEP). The methodology used is described in detail in a companion report, NUREG/CR-4839. In this report, we describe the process for selecting the external events, the screening analysis, and the detailed bounding calculations for those events not eliminated in the screening analysis. As a result of this analysis, it was concluded that only internal flooding, internal fire, and seismic events were potentially significant at LaSalle. Detailed analyses were performed for each of these and are reports in NUREG/CR-4832, Volumes 10, 9, and 8, respectively.
