~ 27 fl7 Mr. James P. O'Reilly, Director Region II U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 101 Marietta Street, N.W.

Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

In response to your letter of March 8, 1979, Carolina Power & Light Company has investigated for the use of pipe support base plates using concrete expansion anchor bolts at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. We do not plan to use concrete expansion anchor bolts for this service, however, if it becomes necessary the following criteria will be met:

1. Pipe support base plate flexibility and its effect on anchor bolts will be accounted for in the calculation of anchor bolt design loads. A finite element analysis will be used for design.
2. The concrete expansion anchor bolts will be designed for a minimum factor of safety of four between the bolt design load and the bolt ultimate capacity determined from static load test for wedge type anchor bolts. We do not intend to use shell or sleeve type anchor bolts.
3. Por seismic loads and other vibratory cyclic loads the concrete expansion anchor bolts will be preloaded equal to or greater than the anchor bolt design load.

4. Quality Control documentation:will be provided for concrete expansion anchor bolts to confirm that design requirements have been met at the time of installation, i.e., that cyclic loads will have been considered and specified design size and type correctly installed to the proper embedment depth.
