l FINAL IDE!TIITICATIO:; 0F OCCURRE!:CE:
As requested in AEC DRO BULLETIN NO. 74-3, Public Service Company of Colorndo and General Atomic Company have conducted on inspection of the Class I support structure at Fort St. Vrain.
The results of the inspection progran indicated that design prob 1cus existed on 24 of the 238 Class I support structures at Fort St. Vrain.
This conditien is considered reportable under Paragraph B-3 of AEC DRO Bulletin'::o. 74-3.

The results of the inspection progran of the Class I support structures i
indicated that a problem existed regarding the scismic design of some Class I sept ort et tuet.ures. The problem related to the support structure natural vibratienal f requency and the design carthquake vibrational f requency on 24 i
Class I support structures.
The specific types of support structures found to have probicms were:
1.)
Ecat Exchanger Support Structures 2.)
Filter Support Structurcs 3.) Various Tank Support Structures APPARANT CAUSE OF OCCURRENCE:

Operator Procedure ANALYSIS OF OCCURRENCZ:
l The analysis of this problem consisted of a visual inspection of Class I support structures by Concral Atomic Company engineers to verify that the field configuration was accurately reflected in the scismic calculations; and i
where incorrect assumptions were cade, further analysis and structural additions were specified.
General Atemic Company ciccted to' have the Sargent & Lundy Structural Engineering Departtent perform the additional analysis where required.
COFRECTIVE ACTION:
Additional structural steel bracing and reinforcement has been added to those structures (24 in all) found to have scismic design problems.
The physical work has been completed and scismic calculations have been forwarded to Public Service Cocpany for review.
Public Service Company is currently in the process of performing an in-dependent review of all calculations and "as-built" configuration for those structures requiring additional reinforecuent.

During Public Service Company's review of the scismic calculations submitted by Cencral Atenic Ccrpany an error was found on one (1) structure calculation regarding an assumption made in the General Atomic /
r Lundy calculations.
and the additional structural steel bracing indicated has been installed on this support structure.
