DR. ANNIE KAMMERER TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY
Dr. Kammerer is an expert in seismic hazard and risk and integrated performance-based, risk-informed engineering, particularly as applied to nuclear power plants and LNG facilities. She is an independent consultant, as well as a visiting scholar at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. From November 2013 to December 2014, she was Principal Seismologist for Bechtel focused on seismic hazard assessment for nuclear and LNG facilities.
From 2006 to 2013, she spent 7 years at the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, where she developed and coordinated the NRC Seismic Research Program and the NRC Tsunami Research Program. She was the project manager and contributing author of the current US guidance on seismic hazard assessments for nuclear facilities (Regulatory Guide 1.208 and NUREG 2117) and the most recent guidance on Seismic Margin Assessments (JLD-ISG-2012-04). Her work on tsunami hazard assessment forms the basis for review of tsunami hazard for new reactors on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Dr. Kammerer has served on several national-level committees. She served 5 years on the National Steering Committee for the USGS Advanced National Seismic System Network. She sat on the Interagency Working Group on Enhanced Seismic Monitoring in the Central and Eastern United States, which was formed by the United States Office of Science and Technology Policy.

guidance. She was responsible for NRC review of structural engineering, equipment screening, and peer review elements of EPRI 102528, which proves guidance on seismic hazard and reevaluation for NRC’s Near Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.1. She was also responsible for NRC technical input and review of EPRI 1025286, which provided guidance on the conduct of seismic walkdowns in response to NTTF Recommendation 2.3. From 2012 to 2013, she was the technical lead for the NRC’s Recommendation 2.3 Seismic Walkdown program that involved seismic walkdowns on 104 operating US nuclear plants. As part of this work she also developed NRC protocols for the review of the walkdown submittals and trained NRC resident inspectors who observed the process and performed independent walkdowns on site.
Dr. Kammerer is active internationally. From 2011 to 2013, she chaired an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Working Group on Seismic Re-evaluation of Operating Reactors, as well as special committee developing new guidance on use of seismic isolation technology in nuclear plants. From 2007 to 2010, she was co-chair of an IAEA Extra Budgetary Program on Tsunami and is a co-author of IAEA guidance on tsunami hazard assessment (IAEA Safety Standard Guide 18). She is currently a consultant to IAEA developing new guidance for performing Tsunami Probabilistic Safety Assessment. She has sat on the technical and/or organizing committees of international symposiums and conferences and is currently on the International Scientific Committee as Division IV (Loading Characterization) co-coordinator for the Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology conference series.
Prior to joining the NRC in 2006, she was a consultant in the Risk and Advanced Technology groups in the international design firm, Arup. As seismic hazard lead for the Americas, her consulting work encompassed a wide variety of technical areas including geotechnical earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, seismic hazard assessments and facility risk assessment.

Assisted in conceptual designs for site improvement, tunnel details, and backfill with a focus on addressing issues related to buoyancy, bearing capacity, slope stability, assuring positive stone column connections with gravel backfill, and stone column shear strength. Tappan Zee Bridge Seismic Assessment Tarrytown, New York (with Ove Arup & Partners) For the New York State Thruway Authority, performed assessment of liquefaction potential using site response analyses and state-‐of-‐the-‐art probabilistic SPT-‐based liquefaction triggering tools. Provided guidance and peer review for finite element modeling of existing pile foundations. Provided peer review of geotechnical investigation as related to seismic issues. Golden Ears Bridge Engineering Due Diligence Review Vancouver, Canada (with Ove Arup & Partners) Provided lending organization responsible for new bridge across the Frasier River in Vancouver Canada with technical review of design-‐build proposals. Areas of review included liquefaction potential and seismic hazard level assessments and design of structure assuming existence of liquefaction. STRUCTURES China Steel Corporation Headquarters Kao-‐Hsiung, Taiwan (with Ove Arup & Partners) Performed comparative desk study of seismic hazard assessments and code-‐based approaches for new skyscraper in Taiwan.

Disney Museum San Francisco, California (with Ove Arup & Partners) Performed probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessment for site in San Francisco’s Presidio. Developed spectrally matched time histories and spring properties for finite element analysis. Assisted in interpretation of results of finite element analysis. St. Francis Towers Seismic Hazard Assessment Manila, The Philippines (with Ove Arup & Partners) Performed probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessments for dual condominium towers in the Philippines located within 2km of an active fault. Developed spectrally matched time histories for non-‐linear finite element modeling. Seismic Assessment of Kan-‐Dala Business Center Almaty, Kazakhstan (with Ove Arup & Partners) Developed seismic hazard criteria for assessment of seismic risk to public meeting spaces/convention center in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Hazard developed was based on SNIP Russian Building Code, regional seismic tectonics, local hazard studies, and results provided by the Global Seismic Hazard Mapping Program. Review of preliminary work by the Kazakh Research and Experimental Design Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Architecture was also performed. New Songdo City Development Co., Songdo Convention Center Seismic Hazard Study and Liquefaction Assessment Songdo, Korea (with Ove Arup & Partners) Performed seismic hazard study for development of an International School, the Convention Center, and a condominium high-‐rise structure to be located in a new city to be sited on reclaimed land on a coastal area south of Incheon, Korea. Available information on seismicity in Korea was reviewed. Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) was performed and likely impact of soil column on surface motions was analyzed. A probabilistic liquefaction assessment was performed based on SPT and CPT field data and results of PSHA. Kaiser Sand Canyon Hospital Sand Canyon, California (with Ove Arup & Partners) Performed spectral matching on time histories provided and developed appendix on spectral matching methods for geotechnical report. Performed peer review and technical interface between Arup’s structural engineering team, the geotechnical engineers of record, and interested regulatory agencies. California Academy of Sciences San Francisco, California (with Ove Arup & Partners) Developed spectrally matched time histories for 3-‐dimensional finite element analysis. Jewish Museum San Francisco, California (with Ove Arup & Partners) Developed spectrally matched earthquake records for finite element modeling study of new museum.

PUBLIC SPACE AND PUBLIC ART Hudson River Park Project New York, New York (with Ove Arup & Partners) Provided review of seismic criteria required by City of New York for rehabilitated piers to be used for public events. Proyecto Monumental de la Montana Tindaya, Estudio GUADIANA, S.L. Fuerteventura, Canary Islands (with Ove Arup & Partners) Performed seismic hazard desk study as part of feasibility study of national monument composed of a 50mx50mx50m cubic cavern to be constructed inside Montana Tindaya. The project, conceived by the sculptor Eduardo Chillida Juantegui, would provide a place of contemplation inside the mountain.
