Contemporary red vinyl 3-ring binder, manuscript title in black Sharpie ink on front cover, from the library of Dr. Clive F. "Rick" Kienle (1942-2025), geologist, and specialist in aerial photo mapping . First edition of this very rare original safety analysis report, and geotechnical report of the WPPSS Nuclear Power Project No. 1, intending to establish the historic impact of the historic North Cascade earthquake whose epicenter for the believed 6.5 to 7.5 quake was Ribbon Ridge just past Entiat on the way to Lake Chelan. These in-depth reports focused on the necessary design elements required by the ever evolving Nuclear Regulatory Commission to ensure safe operating designs by studying where the faults in Central & Eastern Washington lie, as well as their historic impacts. Sections, and geological surveys focus on the stability of the slopes to the north and west of the proposed site at the Hanford Reservation, and estimated the effects of the earthquake resistant design on slope stability and plant safety. This additional borings, geologic mapping of the area, photo aerial surveys, additional identification of basalt outcrops by chemical, petrographic, and remnant magnetism analyses, lab studies, liquefaction analyses along with construction of a 3-D models of the site. The second volume includes the original and unique author's own photographic manuscript record supporting the work by Shannon & Wilson on the shifting ground, and faults of the Rattlesnake Hills Region, an anticline of the Yakima Fold Belt along several geological folds, and now site of a significant wine grape growing region in South-Central Washington State. Photos encompass aerial and ground level inspection and investigation of the Dry Creek Fault, Tiger Fault, Hite Fault Zone from ridge north of Tollgate Chalet, and other nearby fault zones in order to investigate further the subsequent impact of the 1872 Earthquake which had struck the Pacific Northwest to establish geological stability, and enhanced structures for WPPSS 1. WPPS No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant was a planned 1250 Megawatt nuclear power plant on the Hanford Site which along with its' companion plant WNP-4 (twin unit) were part of a five-plant construction project which although partially completed was never commissioned, and whose cancellation led to the largest municipal bond default in US History. Shannon & Wilson, together with Rick Kienle's firm were integral parts of teams working through the 1970's on geotechnical studies for several nuclear power plants that had been proposed and in the Pacific Northwest following up the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant constructed upon the site of the former Trojan Powder Co. plant site, as well as adjacent properties beginning in 1967. Prior to the efforts by PGE as a means to solve the exploding power usage demand in the fast-growing Portland, OR area in the Mid-20th-Century WPPSS had been organized in 1957 as a municipal corporation allowing publicly owned utilities to combine resources to build Nuclear Power Plants, however inflation, design changes, safety concerns by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission caused massive delays and increased costs, and one case a structure was rebuilt 17 different times because of incompetent contractors. After the default in 1982 on $ 2.25 billion in bonds, the court battle would stretch for over 15 years before settlements, but it did cost ratepayers 10's of 1000's of dollars per person.
