the site - specific,   performance - based ground motion response spectrum (GMRS) developed from the new site- specific seismic hazard curves in tabular and graphical format

(1,240 plus 2,500 man-hours for Western NPP) site- specific, base  rock , and control point elevation hazard curves (common fractiles and mean) over a range of spectral frequencies (1, 2.5, 5, 10,  and  25  Hz  and peak ground acceleration -   PGA) and annual exceedance frequencies (1 × 10-7 and  higher ) in tabular and  graphical format.

ACCEPTABLE METHODS:

(within one year after GL published at a cost of 2,880 hrs when GMRS>SSE) Fault-space based SMA (NUREG/CR- 4334, “An Approach to the Quantification of Seismic Margins in Nuclear Power Plants,” issued  in August  1985 (ADAMS Accession No. ML090500182))

(within two years after GL published at a cost of 3,380 hrs when GMRS>SSE) SPRA (Regulatory Guide  1.200  Revision 2, “An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk -Informed Activities,”   (ADAMS Access on No. ML090410014) provides one acceptable approach for determining the technical adequacy of an SPRA.)  Include specific adaptations made in the internal events PRA model to produce the seismic PRA model.
