Docket No. 50-327 Tennessee Valley Authority

)

In the TVA/NRC meeting of April 1, 1981, NRC requested that TVA submit a seismic margin program plan and a list of components to be investigated.

Enclosed is TVA's program plan for the seismic design margin review of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant as required by item 2.C(6) of the full power operating license for unit 1.

In September 1981, TVA will get in touch with NRC to discuss the advis-ability of a TVA/NRC meeting concerning interim progress. The TVA program is expected to be completed and results available for presentation by January 2, 1982.

Very truly yours, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY f

ENCLOSURE SEISMIC DESIGN MARGIN REVIEW PROGRAM SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT a.,

Introduction The TVA seismic evaluation program was presented to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in March 1979. Because of time limitations, NRC was not able to complete its review of all equipment; only mechanical equipment critical to safe shutdown was reviewed and documented. The werk completed and the scope of work to be done are discussed for each of the four items of seismic qualification. Items 1 and 2 were completed in 1979, and no further work is anticipated en these items. The TVA program concentrates on item 4, safety-related equipment.

The format of the March 1979 presentation was extremely effective in communicating basic technical information for both NRC and TVA. This presentation consisted of the exchange of technical data, criteria, and engineering rationale directly across the table between TVA and NRC cognizant engineering employees. Copies of technical information such as pertinent criteria, qualification report excerpts, engineering notes, etc.,

were provided to the NRC representative upon request as the presentation proceeded.

TVA proposes that this same informal technical information exchange format be used for a followup presentation. For obvious reasons, the presenta-tion would be most effective if conducted in the TVA offices in Knoxville.

TVA Program 1.

Category I structures - Category I structures have been shown

~

acceptable for seismic loading associated with the 84th perce.ntile site-specific response spectra. This includes the original analyses of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) soil-supported structures which reflect a degree of conservatism sufficient to envelope the higher seismic levels associated with the 84th percentile earthquake. No further effort is required.

2.

Safety-related piping systems - The reanalysis of selected systems effectively represented a reevaluation of all safety-related piping systems. From a review of all. safety-related piping systems, those systems with the highest ratio of stress resulting from combined leads to the corresponding allowable stress were selected for reanalysis to the 84th percentile earthquake. With these most critical systems having been found acceptable, it is reasonable to conclude that the remaining systems are at least equally acceptable.

The reevaluation of the piping systems and the conclusion that they are acceptable against the 84th percentile earthquake applies equally to all interfaces of the piping systems with safety-related equipment.

The piping reevaluation included confirmation that the original criteria for the seismic qualification of the pipe-supported equipment (valves, strainers, etc.) was not exceeded by the 84th fercentile earthquake. It was further confirmed that the original criteria for piping systems nozzle loads imposed on floor-mounted equipment such as pumps was not exceeded..-

3 HVAC ducting - Because of time limitations, TVA was able to only briefly touch on the consideration of HVAC cucting reevaluation during the March 1979 presentation. The criteria which dictates the

~...... -..

' installation and. support of the HVAC ducting reflects a degree of I

conservatism which is more than sufficient to envelope the increased - T seismic levels of the 84th ' percentile earthquake. A more detailed " -

l discussion to HVAC ducting and duct-mounted equipment will be included, in the remaining work for the followup program.

i 4.

Safety-related equipment - The March 1979 evaluation and report to j

.NRC addressed only selected items of mechanical equipment critical to safe shutdown. In the followup program, TVA will continue and expand the presentation of equipment evaluation for 84th percentile earthquake as follows.

a.

Consistent with the original guidelines developed with NRC regarding the scope of this reevaluation effort, the items of equipment to be considered will be limited to TVA-procured, balance-of-plant equipment.

It is understood that the NSSS-i I

supplied equipment has been evaluated by NRC with the NSSS vendors on a generic basis.

b.

After review of mechanical equipment listing, TVA will include any critical items which were not covered in the March 1979 presentation.

TVA will provide a thorough presentation of critical Category I c.

instrumentation and electrical equipment qualification to show that it envelopes the 84th percentile earthquake.

The completion of the TVA program of evaluation of critical items of equipment will provide a sufficient basis to form the engineering conclusien that the seismic qualification of all'elec-trical and mechanical equipment critical to safe shutdown can be

~

shown to be sufficiently conservative to envelope the P4th

Note: Tabulations of safety-related mechanical and electrical

, equipment to be considered in the reevaluation effort are included in the attached TVA correspondence.

~

Program Schedule TVA has committed to complete the equipment reevaluation program by Harch 1, 1982, as reflected in SQN's operating license. To support this schedule,- the following milestones have been established.

1.

Interim status - In September 1981, TVA will get in touch with NRC representatives en an informal basis to discuss the progress of the reevaluation and any problems which uight have been encountered. The advisability of a TVA/NRC interim meuting will be discussed and scheduled if considered appropriate.

2.

Presentation of results - January 2, 1982, has been established as the target date for completing the reevaluation effort. By this date, TVA will get in touch with NRC representatives to coordinate a meeting for the presentation of equipaient reevaluation results. A meeting held as soon as possible af ter this date would leave time to resolve any questions or concerns rega'rding the presentation of reports.

r l

3 The effort will be completed by March 1, 1982.

SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT - SEISMIC REEVALUATION OF SAFETY,RELATED EQUIPMENT

Reference:

Supplement No. 2 to the Safety Evalua' tion Report, NUREC-00ll,

~

dated August :,, 1980.

As outlined in the reference TVA has co=mitted to reevaluate the seismic qualification of safety-related electrical and mechanical equipment against the more severe 84th percentile earthquake. This effort will inclu'de all equipment necessary for decay heat removal. Civil Engineering Branch's (CEB's) Component Qualification Section will be oponsible for' the technical reevaluation; however, your assistance'will be required to accomplish,this task in a timely manner.

The ~ pacing ites for this effort is, of course, the definition of specific,

~

iten.s of electrical and mechanical equipment critical to the decay heat r_epoval process.

It is requested that the Nuclear Engineering Branc,h_ (NE3)

/vith necessary support from the Electrical Engineering Branch (EEB1/

provide this detailed list of equipment.

In order to provide a timely response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (h*RC), the requested equipment lists should be provided to CEB's Component Qualification Section by October 15, 1980.

If, for any reason this target date cannot be net, advise CEB as to your proposed alternative completion date.

A large portion -of this task will be that of retrieving the seismic qualification documentation for each iten of equipment from procurement contract files.

It is requested that the Mechanical Engineering Branch (MEB) and EEB each designate an individual to coordinate the qualifica-tion report retrieval effort among the various procurement organizations.

Any comments or questions concerning the above should be directed to F. H. Coleman at extension 2157.
