Description of Request: Memo dated October 23, 1976

Review Status: Co@lete

In accordance with your request the Structural Engineering Branch,

Division of Technical Review, has reviewed and evaluated structural

sections of the documents listed above.

The inspection Report 50-320/75-8 lists three deviations as follows:

Deviation A

Comressive strength tests on cubes of the grout at seven days were

not perfomed by the applicant. They are required by the FSAP, and

ACI Standard 301. However the applicant has made compression tests

at 28 days. It shculd be noted that the design of the containment

structune does not rely on the strength of the grout, but only on

its capacity to prevent corrosion of the tendons. The applia nt's

conclusion is that this deviation does not impair the functional

capacity of the structure and we concur with this conclusion.

Deviation B

The applicant did not perform chemical tests on grout.

It should

be noted that in the PSAR in answer to SE3 question 2.10 in su;'ple-

ment f 2 Fage 2.10-5, revised March 10, 1969 the applicant stated:

tion, are chlorides, nitrates and sulchf-.

The ACI " criteria for Reinforced Ccncrete Nuclear Power Containment

Stmetures" published in January 1972, in 3.2.3 reccrrends for freshly

mixed grout limits on chlorida and sulfate content. The "ASME

Boiler and Pressure Vecsel Code",Section III, Civision 2 establishes

in CC-2243.3 limits for chlorides and nitrates for freshly mixed

gr ou t.

This code is referenced by the acplicant in the FSAR,

Section 3.8.1.2 Page 3.8-2.

Becsuse of its possible bearing on corrosien of tendons we feel

dat this deviation is of the greatest icportance. We therefore

reccrmnend that the applicant performs:

(a) For tendons already

gmuted:

tests for nitrates and chlorides performed on samnles

of grout fabricated using the same Imterials and crecedures as uwd

in the original gmut.

(b) For tendons not yet grouted we recommend

the perfomance of tests as required by the ASME Code.

Deviaticn C

The applicant has not detemined the alkalinity of the wet grout.

It is krxnin historically that grout mixes in general provide the

required pH.

The pertinent codes do not require this detemination.

We themfore concur. with the applicant's suggestion that this deter-

mination can be avoided without impairing the capability of the

structum to function as required.

Conclusions

We recanmend that the applicant be required to perfom the tests

indicated for Deviation B.

We also expect that the applicant will provide us with the final

draft of Appendix 3E on grouting which has bes

9thdrawn by the

applicant in Araendment 31. This Appendix 3E is

ntial to pemit

us to finalizt our evaluation of the FSAR.
