A seismic evaluation of the Livermore Pool Type Reactor Facility located at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory was conducted as part of a safety analysis being prepared for the Atomic Energy Commission. The safe shutdown earthquake for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory site is defined, along with a brief discussion of its basis. The method of analysis and results are summarized for all critical components. It is concluded that the biological shield and containment building should withstand the safe shutdown earthquake without failures. The crane and heat exchanger could fail under worst-case loading conditions. Recommendations for modifying the crane and heat exchanger support are presented. (auth)
