2055S October 1, 1979 IE Information flotice flo. 79-24 OVERPRESSURIZATION OF CONTAINMENT OF A PWR PLAf1T AFTER A MAIN STEAM LINE BREAK Virginia Electric and Power Co. submitted a report dated September 7,1979 that identified a deficiency in the original analyses of containment pressurization as a result of a steam line break for North Anna Power Station, Units 3 and 4.

Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation performed a reanalyses of containment pressure following a main steam line break and determined that, if the auxiliary feedwater system continued to supply fee

.ter at runout conditions to the steam generator that had experienced the steam sine break, containment design pressure would be exceeded in approximately 10 minutes.

The long tern blowdown of the water supplied under runout conditions by the auxiliary feedwater system had not been considered in the earlier analyses.

The corrective action is now under review by the owner, architect engineer, and NSSS. supplier.

This Information Notice is provided as an early notification of a possibly significcnt matter that is still under review by the NRC staff.

It is expected that recipients will review the information for possible applicability to their facilities.

No specific action or response is requested at this time.

If NRC evaluations so indicate, further licensee actions may be requested or required.

No writtan response to this Information Notice is required.

If you have any questions regarding this matter please t. : tact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.
