20555 November 16, 1979 IE Information Notice No. 79-28 OVERLOADING OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS DUE TO PIPE SUPPORT LOADS Description of Circumstances:
Recently, the NRC was informed that, in the course of the inspections pursuant to IE Bulletin No. 79-02 and 79-14 by the Portland General Electric Co. (PGE) at the Trojan Nuclear Plant, some walls were found which did not have adequate structural strength to sustain the required support reactions.
Bechtel Corporation was the Architect Engineer for the plant.
These structural inadequacies were reported to be attributable to two deficiencies:
1)
Apparent lack of a final check of certain pipe support locations and reactions to ensure that the supporting structural elements possessed adequate structural integrity to sustain the required loads.
2)
Inadequate design criteria for the reactions from supports anchored into the face of concrete block walls; e.g., relying on the combined strength of double concrete block walls without positive connection between the two walls by means other than the bor.d provided by a layer of grout between them.
The NRC is currently pursuing these issues in detail for tte Trojan Nuclear Plant to determine the extent of these deficiencies and the gener u implications for other Bechtel facilities.
This Information Notice is provided as an early notification of a possible signif-icant matter.
It i; expected that recipients will review the information for pocsible applicability to their facilities and the actions being performed under IE Bulletin No. 79-02.
Specific action is being requested relating to the adequacy of attachments to concrete block walls under IE Bulletin No. 79-02, Revision 2, item 5.c.
No specific actions are requestea in response to this Information Notice.
If NRC evaluations so indicate, further licensee actions may be requested or required.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.
n No written response to this IE Information Notice is required.
