that a portion of the "B" SSW loop piping did not meet the criteria for Safe Shutdown Earthquake in that the pipe could be overstressed during a seismic event.

Cause and Corrective Action:

The design calculations for SSE did not include the weights of pipe flanges. A FDCR is being generated to add additional restraints to reduce the potential pipe stress to within acceptable limits.

Facility Status:

80 % Thermal MW c) Routine Startup g) Shutdown d) Routine Shutdown h) Refueling e) Steady State A

i) Other f) Load Changing j) Not Applicaple A written follow-up report will be sent within two weeks.
