ented for the most significant earthquakes. 25 The ground motion at the site should be evaluated assuming appropriate seismic 26 energy transmission effects and assuming that the maximum earthquake 27 associated with each geologic structure or with each tectoi prvnce occur:s 28 at the point of closcst approach of the structure or province to the sitc. 29 (Further-description is prvided in Subsect4on 2.5.2.6.) 30 The earthquake(s) that would produ ce the most severe vibratory ground motion 31 at the MU hould edened. if different potential earthquake: would 32 produce the most severe ground motion in different frequency bands, these 33 earthquakes should be specified. The description of the potential 34 carthquakc(s) is to'inlude the maximum intensity or magnitude and the 2.5.2-8 1 distance from thc i;:umcd location of the potkntial carthquakc(s) to the site. 2 The staff in . netly evaluates the site ground moetion predueed by the 4 proyinee. 6 Aeeeptanee of the deseriptien of the potential that would producc the largest ground motion at the site is based en the staff's independent analysis-. eeer.., _..e~,ZQ ;,sh~ =. . -W.>e eXc~... f 7 A-MMthtd AM22t 8 f 10 W 11 12 Yi~~~s 13 14 M 15 16 17 i4^'.EW#i~Es~D 18 19_ 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 - 28 29 2~23 30
