6. In order for the staff to verify the structural adequacy of the D6 Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) housing without the drive rod, when subjected to Loss of Cooling Accident or seismic excitations, provide a description of relevant analyses that were performed to model the CRDM without the mass of the drive rod.
