APPLICANTS' STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS AS TO WHICH THERE IS NO GENUINE ISSUE PEGARDING APPLTCANTS' CONSIDERATION OF DAMPING FACTORS FOR OBE AND SSE LOADING CONDITIONS

1. Piping systems are not " active systems," as that term is

~

used in Regulatory Guide 1.61 (Iotti Affidavit at 3).

2. Applicants use 1 and 2 percent critical damping response spectra for the OBE and SSE evaluations, respectively, for small diameter (12" and under) piping systems. These are the damping factors set forth in Regulatory Guide 1.61.

(Iotti Affidavit at 3.)

3. The piping seismic analysis for support CS-1-235-067-C41K used damping values of 1 and 2 percent critical damping.

(Iotti Affidavit at 3-4).

4. Piping stress analysis problem 1-41, which includes support CS-1-235-067-C41K, used 2 and 4 percent critical damping for calculating the coupling factor. This assumption is conservative. (Iotti Affidavit at 4-5.)
5. Applicants use different seismic spectra for OBE and SSE events, as appropriate for the two types of events. Use of these spectra is not related to the selection of damping factors. (Iotti Affidavit at 5.)
6. Damping factors other than those specified in Regulatory Guide 1.61 were used for the Westinghouse reactor loop configuration. Use of these different factors was justified by analyses, as an exception to Regulatory Guide 1.61.

(Iotti Affidavit at 5-6.) ,
