Ig~ P~Gl Re:

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Docket No. 50-220

Dear Mr. Lear:

Your letters of February 15, 1975 and April 17, 1975 requested information regarding relief valve blowdown phenomena and containment hydrodynamic loads.

A preliminary evaluation, based on recent testing by General Electric Company, indicates that containment design parameters will not be exceeded during discharge of the relief valves.

Operating experience, in addition to analytical work performed by General Electric for other facilities, do not suggest any operational safety problems with the Nine Mile Point Unit 1 containment.

The attached report discusses the program and schedule for a more detailed evaluation of the effects described in your letters.

Be-cause of the scope of this effort, the schedule suggested in your letters cannot be accommodated.

Further details of this tentative program will be submitted by July 5, 1975.

Very truly yours, NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION erald K. Rhe~

Vice President-Engineering

NINE HILE POINT UNIT 1 Containment Design and Operational Effects This report is a preliminary response to Nuclear Regulatory Commission concerns

~ i

> about containment hydrodynamic loads and relief valve blowdown effects.

The following program and schedule for Nine Hile Point Unit 1 was devised at a recent meeting with General Electric and other utilities with boiling water reactors.

Initially an evaluation will be made of the hydrodynamic loads on the containment during accident conditions.

This analysis will be similar to that performed by General Electric and discussed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in an April 10, 1975 meeting.

This will be submitted by August 4, 1975.

This evaluation will address the effect of pool swell on the drywell suppression chamber vent system.

The submittal will include plan and section drawings of the containment.

These will illustrate the structures, equipment and piping which could be subjected to hydrodynamic loads.

The tentative program and schedule as outlined below is" proposed as a response to meet the remainder of the concerns ad-dressed in the letters

Relief Valve Blowdown 1.

Confirm calculated loads 5.

Perform stress analyses tests of suppression

chamber, internals and supports March 31, 1976 September 30, 1976 6.

Combine stresses and compare to plant licensing basis.
