Dear Mr. Denton:

My letter of June 17, 1981 transmitted Revision 2 to the document " Augmented Inservice Inspection for Pipe Rupture Protection." Included in Appendix V to this document is an analysis of the consequences and shutdown methods for various break scenarios. The NRC Staff during its detailed review of this document had several concerns. The purpose of this letter is to address those concerns.

The concern was raised that Duke Power Company had-not provided the analytical basis for the acceptability of two pipe break scenarios listed in Appendix V; specifically, Break Node 152 (Longitudinal Targets - 4" Pressurizer Spray line and 3" Charging line) and Break Node 75 (Longitudinal Targets - 2" Auxiliary Spray line and 4" Pressurizer Spray:line). The Staff reviewer also correctly noted that both of these break scenarios involve a combined hot and cold leg break whereas the "Csasequences" column indicates that each scenario is only a cold break.

By letter of June 6, 1980 Duke Power Company submitted an analysis which demon-strated that multiple loop break" cases are bounded by analyses performed in the FSAR. The June 6,1980 letter was directed toward Break Case 106,10" Cold Leg Accumulator line and 6" Hot Leg Injection line breaks. Duke Power Company has reviewed these analyses and has concluded that they provide an acceptable basis to demonstrate the acceptability of the consequences ar.sociated with Break Nodes 152 and 75 described above.
