Natural Phenomena Hazards (NPH) Design Criteria and Other Characterization Information for the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility at Savannah River Site.
This report was developed for Duke/Cogema/Stone & Webster (DCS) in accordance with Work Task Agreement (WTA) 023, dated June 23, 2000. The objective was to document the existing Savannah River Site (SRS) regional and local geologic conditions and Natural Phenomena Hazards (NPH) Criteria and provide other characterization information that is applicable to the ongoing site-specific studies for the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility. This report includes technical data and results from previous studies related to the Geological, Geotechnical, Seismological and Natural Phenomena Hazards (NPH) Information for the MOX Facility (including wind and rain data). The report is a comprehensive compilation applicable to the general Savannah River Site area, developed by both the original contractor, the DuPont Company and by the current plant operator, Westinghouse Savannah River Company, over the full plant lifetime period (1950-2000).
