RIZZO ASSOCIATES, INC. PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA 15235 USA PRELIMINARY GROUND INVESTIGATION REPORT PROJECT KCB2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A preliminary geological, geotechnical, and hydro-geological investigation has been completed by Paul C. Rizzo Associates, Inc. (RIZZO) to characterize the Borssele 2 Power Plant (KCB2) Site. The objective of the investigation was to provide sufficient site-specific information to the nuclear technology vendors to allow for their understanding of the ground risk in their bid preparation. The subsurface stratigraphy and properties of the subsurface materials have been determined using the results of the desk study, field, and laboratory data acquired during the investigation program. The preliminary ground investigation undertaken at the KCB2 Site included drilling five boreholes with a total depth of 600 meters (m), performing in-situ and laboratory geotechnical testing, and conducting borehole geophysical surveys. The investigation also consisted of developing ten Monitoring Wells grouped in three clusters to evaluate hydraulic properties.
