Attachment to Serial 27991 Page 1 of 3 REPORT FOR I&E BULLETIN 79-02

SUBJECT:

I&E BULLETIN 79-02

" PIPE SUPPORT BASE PLATE DESIGNS USING CONCRETE EXPANSION ANCHOR BOLTS" INTERIM REPORT DATE: January 12, 1984 1.

Anchor Bolt Use Prohibition a.

An agreement has been reached with the original pipe support design agency to allow a one-time design deviation that permits expansion anchor bolts to remain in the first two supports on either side of a pump, provided the calculated bolt load is 25% or less of the anchor bolt specification allowable. Pipe supports that do not meet these criteria are being identified and corrected as part of the reviews described in le below.

Implementation of the rework, if any, will be accomplished in accordance with the construction completion program.

b.

The original pipe support design agency has prepared a report to document their design methodology for base plate design.

Bechtel review of the first submittal of this report has been completed, and Bechtel comments have been addressed by that design agracy in a revised report.

Bechtel review of the revised report has been completed with no additional comments. This report has been accepted by Bechtel.

c.

Discrepant pipe support designs issued by the original pipe support design agency and documented on nonconformance reports l

have been diepositioned. All pipe support designs issued by that primary pipe support design agency are being rereviewed for proper anchor bolt usage. This review is now being conducted to a priority based on the seismic reanalysis schedule rather than the turnovar schedule as previously stated. The new schedule for

.pletion of the review is now anticipated to be June, 1984 ror all areas except inside unit No. I containment. A schedule for the latter is currently being developed and will be addressed in the next report.

2.

Determination of Proper Embedment Depth a.

The inspection of anchor bolts used for pipe supports is addressed in Section 6.

e c.

Page 2 of 3 b.

It has been concluded that no further testing and inspection for embedment depth is required for expansion anchors used on non pipe support applications. This conclusion is based on the results of the reinspections of expansion anchors used on pipe supports, and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning Seismic Category I support applications.

Reinspection and testing-in accordance with project specifications (issued to satisfy the requirements of I&E Bulletin 79-02) for pipe support anchors installed before May 30,-1980, was completed. Of 1,631 expansion anchors reinspected, 65 did not meet the requirements for embedment depth. These results indicate, with a 95% confidence level, that over 95% of the anchors satisfies the criteria for embedment length. Additional reinspection and testing of expansion anchors used for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning Seismic Category I supports was performed. Of

' 4,565 expansion anchors reinspected, 72 did not meet the requirements for embedment depth. These results also indicate, with a 95% confidence level, that over 95% of the anchors satisfies the criteria for embedment depth.

c.

The controls initiated in May, 1980 for length marking and quality control inspection (MCAR 31) provide assurance that embedment depth will not pose a problem.

3.-

Demonstration of Achievement of Required Factor of Safety Midland-specific tests to determine the amount of preload a.

remaining in the bolt indicate that an average of 37% of the original preload remains in the bolt after 1 year. Other tests (References A and B) have established that the amount of preload on the bolts will not affect the performance of the anchorage.

If the initial installation torque on the bolt accomplishes the purpose of setting the wedge, then the ultimate capacity of the bolt is not affected by the amount of preload present in the bolt at the time of cyclic loading. These tests (Reference A and B) indicate no anchor pullout failures occurred as a result of cyclic loading and that preload is not required to withstand cyclic loading.

b.

An additional static tension test (Reference C) to supplement the manuf acturer's data was completed. The final report, combined with the manufacturer's data, establishes that all sizes of expansion anchors used for pipe supports under the scope of I&E Bulletin 79-02 on the Midland project met the required factor of safety for pullout.

Page 3 of 3 MCAR Status a.

MCAR 34:

Bechtel Management Corrective Action Report (MCAR) 34 final report, concerning installed drop-in anchors, has been issued.. No.further new corrective action is required.

Required rework has been completed and MCAR 34 was closed on December 14, 1982.

b.

MCAR 31:

MCAR 31 revised final report, concerning embedment-depth of expensian anchors, was issued May 10, 1982. Corrective actions associated with MCAR 31 are complete and the MCAR was closed on May 24, 1982.

5.

Reportability Review Review of the results of the inspection and tests identified no 4

items with a safety impact. Results of future analyses will be reveiwed for reportability under 10 CFR 50.55(e).

6.

Additional Expansion Anchor Inspections Inspection of '100% of the accessible pipe support expansion anchors installed before May 30, 1980, is complete. An evaluation of the adequacy of the inaccessible anchors (less than 6.7% for any parameters), based on the inspection results of the accessible anchors, is complete. As a result of this review, it has been determined that no rework of the inaccessible anchors is required.

Identification and completion of the rework for the inspected anchors is now approximately 90% complete. The remaining 10% will be reworked as part of the Construction Completion Program (CCP). A detailed schedule for system i

completion under CCP is currently being developed. Actual implementation is subject to NRC concurrence that work can proceed.

It is anticipated that an actual schedule will be available in early March, 1984.
