Contents: This five-volume set was prepared for the US Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission. It contains site-specific information describing the station 
building and instrumentation, geology and seismicity of the area, and site 
conditions. 
The report compiles basic geotechnical and strong-motion earthquake data 
for selected accelerograph stations. These earthquake records constitute a 
set of maximum ground-motion values, time-histories of acceleration, and 
response spectra, upon which seismic design recommendations are formulated. 
Tables of significant seismic events, maps of local and general geology, 
boring logs, and geologic cross sections can be found in the last three 
volumes for each site. Similar data exist for the first two volumes, but the 
data are not given in the same format.
