~+*+<< February 28, 1978 All Operating BWR Licensees (Except for Humboldt)
Gentlemen:
The NRC staff has completed its review of the generic Mark I Containment Short Term Program conducted by the Mark I Owners Group'nd the associated plant-unique information which you provided with respect to your facility's containment system. The results of our review are documented in the staff's "Mark I Containment Short Term Program Safety Evaluation Report," NUREG-0408, December 1977. A copy .of this document is enclosed for your i nformati on.
Based upon our review, we have concluded that licensed Mark I BWR facilities can continue to operate safely, without undue risk to the health and safety of the public, during an interim period of approximately two years while a methodical, comprehensive Lonq Term Program (LTP) is conducted. This conclu-sion has been made based on our determination (1) that the magnitude and character of each of the hydrodynamic loads resulting from a postulated de-sign basis loss of coolant accident (LOCA) have been adequately defined for use in the Short Term Program (STP) structural assessment of the Mark I containment system; and (2) that, for the most probable loads induced by a postulated design basis LOCA, a safety factor to failure of at least two exists for the weakest structural or mechanical component in the contain-ment system for each operating Mark I BWR facility.
As described in Section IV of NUREG-0408, our evaluation of the capability of your faci'lity's Mark I containment system to withstand the recently identified'OCA-related hydrodynamic suppression pool loads indicates that, although each of the structural and mechanical components of your contain-ment system meet the STP structural acceptance criteria (i.e., a safety factor to failure of at least two), the demonstrated safety margins of certain components under these loading conditions is less than .that which is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Consequently, we have concluded that the
demonstrated safety margin of your facility's containment system with respect to such loading conditions does not comply with our current interpretation of "sufficient margin" as prescribed in General Design Criterion (GDC) 50, "Containment Design Basis", of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. For long term operation of your facility, we will require that the structural and mechanical components -of your facility's con-tainment system meet the acceptance criteria of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to the maximum extent practicable for the loads and loading combinations identifieg jn the Mark I Containment Long Term Program and approved by the NRC staff.
However, we find that: (1) your facility's containment system design still retains sufficient margin under present conditions to preclude risk to the failure and thus provides reasonable assurance of no undue health and safety of the public, (2) the objective of the Hark I Con-tainment LTP, i.e., to restore the originally intended design safety margins for each Hark I containment system, is acceptable, and (3) the Hark I Owner's Program Action Plan for the LTP is reasonably designed to satisfy the LTP objectives. Therefore, we find that operation of your facility, in conformance with the conditions specified in NUREG-0408, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security.
In the absence of any safety problem associated with operation of your facility until the LTP is completed, there appears to be no public interest consi deration favoring restriction of the operation of your facility. Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.12, you hereby. granted an exemption from GDC-50, with respect to LOCA-
're related hydrodynamic suppression pool loads, for an interim period until completion of the LTP (approximately two years), provided that the conditions specified in NUREG-0408 and any resulting Technical Specification requirements are maintained. To this extent, this exemp-tion encompasses any related requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.55(a), and GDC-l.

LICENSEE NOTICE OF GRANTING AN EXEMPTION FROM THE RE UIREMENTS OF ENERAL DESIGN CRI ER 0 50 CONTAINMENT DESIGN BASIS OF APPENDI A TO 1 CFR PART 5 The U.S. Nuclear. Regulatory Commission (The Commission) has granted an exemption from the requirements of General Desiqn Criterion 50, "Contain-ment Design Basis", of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 to (Licensee)
(the Licensee). This exemption relates to the demonstrated safety margin of the Mark I containment system for (Facilit Name) for recently identified hydrodynamic supppression pool loads associated with a postulated design basis loss of coolant acci.dent and provides for operation under the conditions specified in the NRC staff's "Mark I Con-tainment Short Term Program Safety Evaluation Report" and under any resulting Technical Specification requirements. To this extent, this exemption encompasses any related requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Sec-tion 50.55(a), and General Design Criterion 1. This exemption is effective as of the date of its issuance.
The Commission has evaluated the demonstrated safety margin of the containment system for (Facilit Name) under present
conditions and has concluded that sufficient margin exists to preclude undue risk to the health and safety of the public. This evalua-tion is documented in the staff's "Hark I Containment Short Term Program.
Safety Evaluation Report," NUREG-0408, Pecember 1977.
This exemption is granted for an interim period of approximately two years while a more detailed review i's conducted. At the conclusion of this re-view, the design safety margin of the containment system for (Facilit Name will be restored to that which was originally intended at the time (Facilit Name) was licensed for operation. The basis for this exemption is set forth in the letter to the licensee granting the exemption, dated February, 1978.
The Commission has determined that the granting of this exemption will not result in any significant environmental impact and that pursuant to 10 CFR Section 51.5(d)(4) an environmental impact statement or negative declara-tion and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with this action.
