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 l Washington, D. C. 20555 C. Thrash (Baker & Botts)
