SUBJECT:
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 - REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM ATTACHMENT PIPING, CLASS 1 FATIGUE ANALYSIS (TAC NO. M95347)
L
Dear Mr. Anderson:
- (F. The purpose of this letter is to request information regarding the reactor
' Lcoolant system (RCS) piping analysis and its compliance with your licensing basis requirements as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).
[-
During'our review of Babcock and Wilcox Owners Group (B&WOG) generic Report No. BAW-2243, " Demonstration of the Management of Aging Effects for the Reactor Coolant System Piping," and associated submittals, we have become aware that'certain RCS attachment piping at Crystal River 3, may not have been analyzed for fatigue loads and, accordingly, may not be consistent with your licensing _ basis as described below.
4.
FSAR Paragraph 4.1.3.2 states that the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of the RCS piping (including the attachment piping indicated in FSAR Table 4-6) are in accordance with USAS B31.7, Code for Pressure Piping, Nuclear Power Piping, dated February,1968 (B31.7 Code).
Per 10 CFR 50.2 definition of reactor coolant pressure boundary, FSAR Figure 4-1 identifies all RCS piping up to and including the second of two valves that are normally closed, as Class I components.
10 CFR 50.55a(c)(1) and the B31.7 Code require rigorous fatigue analysis of Class I components.
Your FSAR does not' indicate clearly that such a fatigue analysis was performed for the segment of RCS v
4 attachment piping from the main RCS pi valves that are normally closed (i.e...pe up to and including the second of two Class I boundary),
