ENCLOSURE (1)
REPLY TO APPENDIX A 0F IE INSPECTION REPORT 50-317/80-21 While the spent fuel racks were not designed and fabricated in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III subsection NF, they were built to the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
Code. A safety analysis, performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, determined that the change in criteria does not involve an unreviewed safety question. The NRC guidance to the utilities, titled " Review and Acceptance of Spent Fuel Storage and Handling Applications", states that the design and fabrication shall be based upon the AISC specification or Subsection NF. The AISC code provides structural integrity equal to subsection NF and, therefore, no unreviewed safety question exists.
To prevent further non-compliance, BG&E Specification SP-267 will be revised by January 1, 1981.
A revised licensing report describing the as-built design of Lne racks will be submitted to the NRC by February 1,1981.
