y VTVYS1 05000271 LER 79-23/3L EVENT DESCRIPTION AND PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES During the continuing investigation to determine the adequacy of all Seismic Class I hangers, as described in NRC Bulletin 79-02, RHR-II-16 was determined to be inadequate to support its design load. This hanger is located in the LPCI loop cross-tie line. Tech. Spec. S 2ct ion 3.6. I.1 re-quires all safety-related snubbers to be operable during power operation.

This Tech. Spec. Section was determined to be appropriate, via RO 79-15/3L, since a seismic hanger performs a similar service as a snubber. As allowed by Tech. Spec. Section 3.6.I.2, the hanger was repaired within the 72-hour time period. A similar occurrence was reported to the Com-mission as RO 79-15/3L.

CAUSE DESCRIPTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS The cause of this occurrence is improper installation during con-struction. In accordance with NRC Bulletins 79-2 and 79-14, a complete review of all Seismic Class I systems is underway. This review includes a verification of design loads and support adequacy. Appropriate modifi-cations, if any, will be performed after the reanalysis is completed. In the interim, the hanger was repaired including the installation and veri-fication of new anchor bolts. The original hanger was designed and built by ITT Grinnel Corp.
