'this ccmclusion is due to the extensive nature of the deficiencies identified in.the Final Safety Analysis Report, and the fact that kmviaion 1 of the Standard Foriat and Content of Safety Analyaia Reporta for Nuclear Power Plants (October 1972'as not folloved in the preparation of your FSAR.

%e principal areas of deficiency in the FSAR include tornado design criteria, elope stability, design of Category I atrnctE}re~, protection against dyna}Sic effects associated with pipe rtspturo, and auxiliary ayateas.

Enclosure No.

1 ideutifiee in detail the deficiencies found in the FSAR.

Enclosure 1 also contains requirwents for farther factual infoasation and Justification on other quaationa identified during our prelissinary review that are not apecifioally required by"Revision 1 of the Standard Pors}at Iheae.iteis have been identified by an asterisk.
