This summary presents the results and lessons learned from the seismic margin assessment (SMA) of Unit 1 of the Hatch Nuclear Plant. The primary purpose of this SMA was to assess the practicality of the EPRI SMA methodology on a BWR on a soil site such as Hatch. The major findings from the Hatch SMA are briefly described along with the lessons learned during the project implementation. The experience gained on the Hatch SMA is expected to benefit others in the performance of future SMAs. 12 refs.
