IE Eulletin No. 79-14 Revision 1 Date:

July 13, 1979 Page 2 of 3 Actica to be taken by Licensees and Permit Holders:

All power reactor facility licensees and construction permit holders are requested to verify, unless verified to an equivalent degree within the last 12 months, that the seisaic analysis applies to the actual configura-tion of safety-related piping systems.

The safety-related piping includes Seismic Category I systems as defined by Regulatory Guide 1.29, " Seismic Design Classification," Revision 1, dated August 1, 1973 or as defined in the applicable FSAR.

The action items tuat follow apply to all safety-related pipitz 2-1/2-inches in diameter and greater and to seismic Category I ciping, re;3rdless of site which was cycamically analyzed bv ccmputer.

For older plants, wuere Seismic Category I require: eats did not exist at the tice of licensing, it must be shown that the actual configuration of ff/// safety-related systems, utilizing pioing 2-1/2 inches in diameter and treater, meets design require-cents.

Specifically, each licensee is requested to:

1.

Identify inspection eleceats to be used in verifying that the seismic analysis input infor:ation conforms to the actual configuration of safety-related systems. For each safety-related systea, submit a list of de sign documents, including title, identification number, revision, and date, which were sources of input information fo. the seismic analyses. Also submit a description of the seisaic analysis input info =ation which is contained in each document.

Identify systems or portions of systems which are planned to be inspected during each sequential inspection identified in Itecs 2 and 3.

Submit all of this information withia 30 days of the date of this bulletin.

2.

For porticas of systems which are cor ally accessible *, inspect cae system in each set o' -ad"-dant systems and all nccredundant systens for con-forcance to the seismic analysis input informatica set fcrth in design documents.

Include in the iaspectica: pipe run gecretry-support and restraint desi;a, locations, functton and clearance (including floor and wall peaetratica); embed ents (excluding those covered in II Eulletin 79-02); pipe attachments and valve and valve sperator locations and weights (exclu3ia; ths covered in IE Eulletin 79-04).

e Within 60 days cf the date of this bulletia, subnit a description of the results of this inspection.

Where nonconformances are found which affect operability of any system, the licensee will expedite cc pletion of the inspection described in Item 3.

2No rmally acces sible reIers to those areas of the plaat which can be entered duric; reactor operation.
