NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 June 1, 1992 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 92-42: FRAUDULENT BOLTS IN SEISMICALLY DESIGNED WALLS
Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power
reactors.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information
notice to alert addressees to fraudulent anchor and through wall bolts found
in seismic structures. It is expected that recipients will review the
information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions, as
appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However, suggestions contained in
this information notice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific
action or written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
From March 30 through April 10, 1992, an NRC engineering team performed a
special inspection at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. The inspection
included masonry block and poured concrete walls in the building housing the
diesel generators that provide emergency electrical power for the plant. The
team discovered that many of the bolts in these walls which appeared to exist
and provide lateral support, did not in fact exist. The bolts were apparently
installed during plant construction by a subcontractor to Brown and Root. In
many instances, heads cut from bolts had been attached to the angle iron that
was designed to provide lateral support for the walls during an earthquake.
The bolt heads made it appear that there were bolts supporting the wall, but
without the bolt shanks there was no support. In the worst case, more than
85 percent of the bolts installed in one wall were either fraudulent or did
not otherwise meet design requirements. For some of these bolts, the anchors
had not been installed. In other cases, the bolts were too short to ade- quately engage the anchors. Other bolts that should have completely pene- trated the walls did not.
Some employees of Carolina Power and Light Company, licensee for the Brunswick
plant, were aware of problems with bolts in some walls in 1987. Nevertheless, the licensee did not take effective action to determine the extent of the
problem and correct it. Initially, the licensee used feeler gauges inserted
under the angle iron to determine whether or not the shanks of bolts were in
place. In some cases, because the licensee's inspector could feel the anchor
sleeve, the licensee assumed that bolt shanks were present when they were not.
However, during and after NRC's special inspection, the licensee performed

- -1 IN 92-42 June 1, 1992 inspections and evaluations that were progressively more thorough. On the
basis of that work, the licensee concluded that certain of the walls were not
capable of performing their intended safety function and the licensee has shut
down both reactors until the problem is corrected.
Discussion
The block and poured concrete walls separate the four trains of emergency
diesel generating equipment and ensure that all of the trains do not become
inoperable because of a common hazard. The masonry block walls and the steel
plates attached to them provide missile protection for this equipment. The
walls were intended to withstand the design-basis earthquake. The capability
of the walls to perform their intended function has been compromised since the
fraudulent and deficient bolts were installed in approximately 1973.

designed to withstand the design-basis earthquake. The capability of the walls
to perform their intended function has been compromised since the phoney bolt
heads and deficient bolts were installed in approximately 1973.
