Dear Mr. Denton:

Reference (a) stated:

" Prior to October 1, 1982, the licensee shall submit its confirmatory assessment of the containment design adequacy for pool dynamic loads (chugging, vent lateral and diaphragm reverse pressure) developed in conjunction with the Long Term Program and reported in NUREG-0808."

Reference (b) provided a confirmatory assessment against NUREG-0808 loads in response to this license condition.

Following discussions with the staff, the licensee submitted Reference (c) which was evaluated by the NRC.

That review was documented in Reference (d),

which also provided the staff position that:

"The licensee should perform a detailed review of the design margin available in all the safety-related components affected by the high frequency loads to demonstrate the structural adequacy of the components when subjected to such loads.

This approach is being used by the applicant for the Shoreham faci-lity as described in a letter from J.

L.

Smith to H. R. Denton dated August 20, 1982.

The staff believes that this approach is reasonable and attainable without excessive costs to the licensee, and is one which will produce results permitting a clear positive determination of structural adequacy.

1 H. R. Denton July 27, 1983 This detailed review should be completed as soon as feasible but no later than September 30, 1983 and, should any design modifications to the-plant be required (none are expected at this time), they should be completed prior to restart from the first refueling outage."

Commonwealth Edison Company has performed a detailed review and evaluation.

From a telecon on July 22, 1983 between Commonwealth Edison g

Company and Dr. A. Bournia and Mr. D. Terao of your staff it is our understanding that Mr. Terao may desire to review the particulars of this evaluation at the offices of our Architect-Engineer, Sargent & Lundy, during early August.
