BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 INCORRECT THERMAL DATA IN PROBLEM N4-1RK-A FROM PROGRAM "EZ" NCR BLN CEB 8303 BLRD-50-438/83-22 10 CFR 50.55(e)

THIRD INTERIM REPORT Description of Deficiency Analysis problem N4-1RK has not been qualified for the thermal loading condition on essential air compressor system piping supports. In reviewing the issued analysis problem for Design Change Request (DCR) 2372, the results were found to be wrong due to the input of incorrect thermal data. This was a result of using an unverified program "EZ" and a lack of verification procedures for the "EZ" program in generating the input data.

Interim Progress In Subsequent investigation has disclosed no problems with the thermal data.

addition, TVA has determined that the "EZ" program does not require verification since its fbnction was to create a TPIPE input deck which is subjected to a separate check during the normal calculation procedure. TVA is still in the process of reanalyzing problem N4-1RK-A in order to verify that the thermal loading condition in the essential air compressor system is qualified.
