SUBJECT:

INFOR31ATION TO BE PROVIDED TO ACRS AND LICE" SINC BOARDS (S L.,: 001, 002)

We just received the attached progress report from our consultant that questions the current criteria for buckling of steel containment shells.

We believe that the appropriate licensing boards and the ACRS should be notified.

It should be realized that this report is preliminary in nature and has not been fully evaluated by our branch. We believe it may have an impact on the design of steel containments such a.; those used for the BWR Mark III and P! R Ice-Condensers.
