a J

l has identified a failure in a seismic support associated with Emergency I

o la I Service Water (ESW) return line. Two of four bolts on the support plate I

a s i failed to achieve torque requirements, causing the safety factor to be j

o 6

l below two.

The safety sienificance is small because Unit 3 rnactor is in I

, [

the cold shutdown condition for refueling and failure of piping in this 1 cation would not interfere with ESW delivery.

Improper installation is the probable cause of failure. All four shell l

,i1i i

type bolts were replaced with wedge type bolts. Plate washers were i
