July 18, 1979 Docket No. 50-309 Mr. Robert H. Groce Licensing Engineer Yankee Atomic Electric Company 20 Turnpike Road Westocro, Massachusetts 01581
Dear Mr. Groce:
We have reviewed your response to our letter dated February 2,1978, in regard to the potential for the reactor cavity annulus seal Hng to becme a destructive missile in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident pipe break inside the reactor cavity.
In your response, you indicated that in the event of a larga coolant pipe rupture the subsequent ECCS analysis takes no credit for control rod insertion.,Therefore, daaage to the control rod drive mechanisms (CROM) would not affect the safe shutdown of the reactor subsequent to a less-of-coolant accident as previously analyzed. However, the role of CRDM for the safe shutdown of the reactor for small break LOCA has not been addressed. Moreover, you have not analyzed the effects of the seal ring, should it becme a missile, on other safety related cmponents located inside the containment. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54 (f) of the Commission's regulations, you are requested to (a) demonstrate by appropriate analysis that the seal ring cannot becme a destructive missile during continued long-tem operation and that it poses no threat to the health and safety of the public; or (b) furnish a statement that the seal ring will be removed by no later than the next refueling outage.
Please respond within 60 days of your receipt of this letter.
Sincerely,
/
JL 44.'
