B.
- Vassallo, dated September 1, 1983 (JPN-83-79), concern-ing the same subject.
Dear Sir:
In the reference letter, the Power Authority provided the status of our review of a potential pipe support design non-conformance.
The purpose of this letter is to provide additional information on the status of our review, and to clarify information contained in the reference letter.
As stated in the reference letter, our consultant provided us with a list of 20 supports which he identified as poten-tially non-conforming.
The consultant claimed that the list of 20 included some supports which show evidence of physical damage. Of these 20 supports, only 18 still exist in their original configuration and location.
These 18 supports were visually inspected and 17 were found to be undamaged and acceptable in the as-found condition.
The condition of the remaining support, on the main steam line, was described in the reference letter.
The 2 sur. ports not visually inspected have been redesigned or relocated as a result of the Mark I program.
One of these original supports was removed during the 1981-82 refueling outage.

We will keep you informed antil this report in submitted to you.
