Facility Operating License No. DPR-65 Docket No. 50-336 Reportable Occurrence 50-336/81-8 j

Dear Mr. Grier:

j This letter provides notification of Reportable Occurrence 81-8 pursuant to the requirements of Millstone Unit 2 Appendix A Technical Specifications, Section 6.9.1.8.i.

The report concerns the discovery of conditions that require corrective measures or remedial action to prevent the existence or development of an unsafe condition.

~

As a result of an as-built hanger review of the Reactor Vessel Head Vent Piping System, it was determined that a spring can type hanger was installed incorrectly.

This system was modified extensively during the past refueling outage to install remotely operated head vent valves.

The hanger was located on 1"-ECD-5 (governing code ANSI B31.1), but the improper installation resulted in overstressing a socket welded joint of a 3/4" x l' tee in 1"-CCA-18 (governing code ASME Section III, Class 1).

Failure at the joint would have resulted in a non-isolable Reactor Coolant System leak. The stresses wert. reduced to less than allewable by recoving the spring can hanger and isolating then depressurizing the tee.

Repairs and/or modifications to the Head Vent System are being evaluated and will be completed during a fetr>re autage of sufficient length.

In the interim, the head vent piping and specifically the overstressed joint will remain isolated and de;iressurized, o01
