Coats, D W

This report recommends changes in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) criteria now used in the seismic design of nuclear power plants. Areas covered include ground motion, soil-structure interaction, structures, and equipment and components. Members of the Engineering Mechanics Section of the Nuclear Test Engineering Division at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) generally agreed upon the recommendations, which are based on: (1) reports developed under the NRC's Task Action Plan A-40; (2) other available engineering literature; and (3) recommendations of nationally recognized experts retained by LLL specifically for this task.
