D. M. Crutchfield, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 5 Division of Licensing U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Gentlemen:

Subject:

Docket No. 50-206 Environmental Qualification San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1 By letter dated March 6, 1981 the NRC was provided with the MSLB pressure and temperature analysis inside the San Onofre Unit 1 containment.

That analysis indicated a peak temperature and pressure of 406 0F and 53.0 psig. The NRC staff's assessment of SEP Topics VI-2.D, Mass and Energy Release for Possible Pipe Break Inside Containment, and VI-3, Containment Pressure and Heat Removal Capability, included these values and concluded that the MSLB temperature profile was acceptable for use in equipment qualification.

This letter is to inform you that the peak temperature and pressure for the MSLB inside containment has been recalculated.

The analysis utilized an 8% revaporization of condensate in a superheated atmosphere. This was done in accordance with Appendix B of NUREG-0588, Interim Staff Position on Environmental Qualification of Safety Related Electrical Equipment. The results of the analysis indicate a peak temperature and pressure of 391.50F and 53.3 psig.

In our June 30, 1982 letter, we demonstrated that the LOCA post-accident temperature and pressure was more severe than the MSLB conditions. For a large break MSLB inside containment, we calculated the equipment surface temperature utilizing the assumption of wet steam and the peak surface temperatures were less than the LOCA peak temperature. In addition, analyses were done assuming smaller breaks for the MSLB inside containment based on a mechanistic fracture evaluation and this more credible break for a main steam pipe resulted in a peak temperature less than the LOCA peak temperature.

Based on the analyses provided in our June 30, 1982 letter, we indicated that the LOCA conditions would continue to be utilized for the qualification of original equipment identified in our October 31, 1980 letter and equipment installed as part of TMI modifications. In addition, as 8211240252 821118 PDR ADOCK 05000206 f

November 18, 1982 indicated in our June 30, 1982 letter, all new equipment will be qualified utilizing the peak MSLB conditions of 391.5 0F and 53.3 psig unless such equipment is unavailable in which case a surface temperature analysis will be performed to determine the peak conditions to be utilized for qualification.

However, in no case will the peak conditions be less severe than the LOCA post-accident temperature and pressure.

Very truly yours,
