' The supplemental Self-Drill Inspection Program implemented under

!!CS-1196.02-00-0003 identified 55 of 191 plate holes ins;:ected as oversized.

This oversizing was determined to be due to the self-drill anchor installation procedures. All oversized holes have been reviewed and modifications made where required.

In order to address the question of the relationship of cyclic /

load carrying capacity to installation procedure (anchor preload),

the tests referred to in Response 3, performed by Teledyne Engineering Services and sponsored by.the group of thirteen (13) utilities, have been performed on anchors installed in accordance with manufacturer's reconsnended installation procedures and have no more preload than is provided by the use of these procedures.

Based on Duke's understanding of the behavior of expansion anchors and on cyclic testing which has been performed Duke Power Company l

is confident that the anchors will perform adequately.

Response 5:

Nuclear Safety Related/ seismic pi being attached to block (masonry)pe supports are prohibited from walls using concrete expansion ancho rs.

In response to Revision 2 of IE Bulletin 79-02, Duke Power Company has conducted an on-site confimatory review at McGuire Unit 1 of Nuclear Safety Related/ seismic pipe supports

~

to assure that no such installations exist.

Results of this re-view have confimed that there are no such installations of this type at McGuire Nuclear. Station Unit 1.

i Response 6:

The expansion anchor installation and inspection procedures uti-lized at McGuire Nuclear Station and described in Response 4 apply to all expans, ion anchors installed in Nuclear Safety Re-lated pipe supports. Each expansion anchor is inspected regard-less of the physical configuration of the steel members being connected to the concrete.

These supports are included in the actions being perfomed by Duke Power Company to satisfy the requirements of IE Bulletin 79-02.

Response 7:

McGuire Nuclear Station is currently under construction, there-fore Bulletin Iten 7 is not applicable.

Response 8:

McGuire Nuclear Station is currently under construction, there-

'.lletin Item 8 is not applicable.

Response 9:

Those pipe supports which have not been installed are included in actions performed to meet the requirements of IE Bulletin 79-02 as outlined in Responses 1 through 6.

Revision 2 of Item 2 of the Bulletin reauests verification by Duke Power Company that a unifom factor of safety was applied for all load combinations in the design of expansion anchors for McGuire Nuclear Station.

The expansion anchor design factors

on the normal, upset and faulted load combin structures subject to the same load combinatio ased The gradation ypes of Company did not meet the revised (R2) sec to its issuance.
