SUMMARY

OF MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 19, 1980 WITH AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO.

AND INDIANA AND MICHIGAN ELECTRIC CO.

TO DISCUSS'THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF THE D.

C.

COOK CONTAINMENTS AND HYDROGEN CONTROL MEASURES FOR THE CONTAINMENT On November 26, 1980, Mr. Miner called Dr. Castresana and Mr. Milioti and requested that Indiana 8 Michigan Electric Co.

(ISMC) commit to (1) installing an interim hydrogen control system, such as the igniter system; (2) a date that the design and the justification for the selected system will be submitted; and (3) an installation date.

On December 5, 1980, Mr. Milioti called to state that prior to making the requested commitments they would like to meet with the staff to discuss the I8MC complete program for hydrogen control measures including the structural analysis of the ultimate strength of the Cook containments.

The meeting was held on December 18, 1980.

The attendee list is attached.

Discussion A.

Ultimate stren th of the Cook Containments The licensee.-agrees that the D.

C.

Cook equipment hatch cover is the pressure limiting component for the D.

C.

Cook containment.

Their calculations however showed that if the actual average material yield values for the materials are used the pressure capability of the hatch cover is 40.8 psi.

Our preliminary calculations utilizing minimum specified allowable material yield values indicated that the hatch pressure capability is 23.5 psi.

Th. licensee indicated that the 40.8 psi is comparable to the static pressIIre capability of the Sequoyah containment.

Utilizing actual average material yield values for rebar the licensee calculated that the reinforced concrete containment has a static pressure capability of 69.7 psi.

The following comments.were provided by the staff:

1.

We were concerned that the weakest components in the containment was the equipment hatch because of the greater potential for leakage.

2.

To make the D.

C.

Cook analysis comparable to the Sequoyah minimum actual values for material properties should be used and at least the analysis and information outlined in our December 11, 1980 letter to Indiana and Michigan Electric should be provided in their report.

3.

The licensee should provide in its report a proposed method for increasing the strength of the equipment hatch cover so that it will not be the limiting component.

4.

The licensee should propose a forcing function for their dynamic analysis of the containment's capability.

Subsequent to the meeting the licensee stated that timey will submit their structural report early in May 1981.

B.

H dro en Control Measures The licensee described their research and study program for hydrogen control measures.

In general, it is a program associated with the TVA and Duke Power Programs.

They indicated that sufficient infor-mation should be available from the program to allow.them to select the D.

C.

Cook hydrogen mitigation system in November 1981.

They expect it will take about an additional year to year and half to

, design, procure and install the system.

They are currently engaged in the conceptual d sign of a distributed ignition system which they expect to complete in March 1981.

However, because of the lack of information on some of their concerns with the ignition system they propose to not select their mitigation system until the research and studies have been completed.

The licensee also indicated that their first quarterly report on the research program, structural analysis and conceptual design study will be supplied in January 1981.

Me made the following comments:

1.

Their proposal to make their decision on a hydrogen mitigation system for D.

C.

Cook in November 1981 and then to install it one to one and half year later is unacceptable.

2.

They should undertake a program to have an interim mitigation system ready for installation during the next refueling outage for each plant (Ap "il/May 1981).

~qual 3.

We indicated that but for the unacceptably long time for selection and installation of the mitigation system the research and study program outlined appeared to be comprehensive and well planned.
