Subject:
Interim Report of 10CFR50.55(e) Item on Pipe Support Snubber Design Deficiency (#69)
Dear Mr. Keppler:
i On May 27, 1982, Detroit Edison's Mr. H.A. Waler, Supervisor-Construction Ouality Assurance, telephoned Mr. H. Wesco'.c of NRC Region III to report on a pipe support snubber design deficiency at the Fermi 2 site.
During an NRC inspection, Mr. I.T. Yin of the NRC, had noted a number of locations that snubbers were to be installed where they could not function properly. In sme instances, the movem2nt was not great enough for the snubber to lock-up, therefore, the snubber load would be transferred to j
the adjacent rigid supports causing possible over-stress. This would be j
a potential safety problem.
4 Engineering has developed a plan for evaluation of all snubber designs to l
ensure that the snubbers will adequately perform their intended purpose and i
are only utilized where needed. This plan has been. reviewed by the NRC and l
1s considered acceptable. The required evaluation is now being performed.
l l
Another report on this item, either interim or final, is scheduled to be sent to you on or before October 22, 1982. If you have questions concerning this j
matter, please contact Mr. H.A. Walker, Supervisor-Construction Quality Assurance.
Very truly yours,
