Subject:

Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Docket No. 50/395 FSAR Changes

Dear Mr. Denton:

As discussed with Mr. Willf am Kane, the following marked up FSAR pages are provided for your review. The statment in Chapter 2.5 was mistakenly removed during the printing of FSAR Amendment 26. South Carolina Electric and Gas Company affirms this comitment and will include it back in the FSAR in our next amendment.

Also, included is a revision to our response to FSAR question 211.127. Additional review discovered two additional valves of the double riisk gate valve design. As noted in the response, the trapped fluid release feature is provided. This change will also be included in the next FSAR amendment.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

V ry truly yours, A /) A _

roughly pcrollels Wcterse L 31.xfromjustnorthofHilton[S.C'., to cbout the Broad River, where it has a slightly northwest orientation. Evidence of faulting includes: Discontinuity of magnetic anomaly patterns; apparent drag indicated by disturbed bedding or compositional layering, foliation and l lineation patterns; occurrence of silicified and unsilicified' fault breccia; occurrence, of open extension fractures partially filled with quartz; appar-

Belt border zone; apparent offset of older northwest trending"silicified breccia zones; and possible offset of a northwert trending diabase dike.

Field work is continuing in this area, and at present, the closest approach of this structure is about four to five miles south of the site. No evi- ,

dence at present demonstrates any recency of movement on this structure. The 1.1 l h yf oes l our f e.~*s 4 e Sto.y obesssr a + His n pyia9 s J reporr a.,y

As A c 2.5.1.1.3.2 Jointing and Foliation Foliation usually has been found to be correlative with regional structure and pre-metamorphic depositional banding except where it is'in contact with plutons. Granitic plutons are partially concordant with regional structure, but clearly discordant where they distort the foliation of country rocks.

The regional trend of individual plutons, wherever mapped in the Peidmont Province, shows a general northeastward orientation parallel to the regional structure (34), ,

A pronounced N10W to N30W fracture direction is prominent within the Charlotte Belt. This direction corresponds to one of the angular drainage patterns containing a considerable number of streams. Another drainage pattern direction ranges from N50E to N70E, which corresponds to a second fracture directica and also the regional strike. Diabase dikes of late l Triassic (?) age are generally oriented parallel to a joint pattern through-

~

out the Piedmont.

LT 2.5-17a AMENDMENT 23

, n::

211.127 overpressurization of Internal Body Cavity to Cate Valves in the.ECCS System .

We have been notified of a potential design deficiency regarding double seating gate valves which are used in the ECCS systems of some PWR plants. The concern is that when fluids, trapped in

, the internal body cavity of the valve, are heated due to the increased temperatures of adjacent piping sy, stems or of the environment, substential pressure increases may result in these cavities that could rupture the valve. Provide information which addresses this potential valve problem ~ as it applies to the Virgil C. Summer Station.

RESPONSE: The only gate valves of the double disk design used on the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station are the three main feedwater containment isolation valves These valves, however, have 'T l incorporated in their design a trapped fluid release feature l between the parallel disks to prevent overpressurization of the inter al body cavity.
