Subject:
South Texas Project Units I & II Docket Nos. STN 50-498, STN 50-499 Interim Report on the Reportable Deficiency Concerning Beam to Column Connections for Unit I of the South Texas Project
Dear Sir:
On November 27, 1978, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55 (e)(2),
Houston Lighting & Power Company notified your office of the failure to properly consider the application of certain postulated loads in the interior structural steel beams design for the Unit I Reactor Containment Building of the South Texas Project. An ex-tensive review of the design verification program has been initiated.
As of this date, Brown & Root has been able to determine that this deficiency, if left uncorrected, would not have resulted in a significant safety hazard.
An interim report on this deficiency is attached.
Investi-gation of the design verification program is continuing. A final report will be issued to the NRC on or about June 1,1979.
Very truly yours, E. A. Turner Vice President Power Plant Construction and Technical Services LRJ/SSR/bf Attachment j cc: Messrs vuirector, Office of Inspection and Enforcement Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 C. Thrash (Baker & Botts)
