SUBJECT:

FRC MASONRY WALL REVIEW, CONTRACT NO. NRC-03-81-130, FINAL ASSIGNMENT 6, ADDITION OF DIABLO CANYON REVIEW We request that the task of reviewing the justification for the use of the energy-balance technique to qualify the masonry walls at Diablo Canyon plants be added to assignment 6 of referenced contract. The scope of the review, estimated staff hours and tentative schedules are indicated in the enclosure.

Some of the estimated manhours for this task can come from unused hours for assigned tasks which have been completed.

The FRC and its consultants have participated in a preview meeting with the licensee to discuss the overall concept of the licensee's justification and, therefore, are very familiar with the scope of the review. The enclosed scope and staff hours have been discussed with Dr. Vu Con of FRC.

NOV 181985 Docket Nos.: 50-275 and 50-323 LICENSEE: Pacific Gas and Electric Company FACILITY: Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2

SUBJECT:

MEETING

SUMMARY

- MASONRY WALLS On November 5,1985 members of the NRC staff and its consultants from the Franklin Research Center and Drexel University met with representatives from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E, the licensee) and Bechtel to discuss the PG&E approach to justify the use of the energy-balance technique to qualify some of the masonry walls at Diablo Canyon Units 1 and 2.

A list of attendees is provided in Enclosure I.

(The Diablo Canyon Unit 1 and Unit 2 licenses each contain a license condition regarding the matter).

The licensee outlined its approach of using San Onofre test data to demonstrate the convervatism of the energy-balance technique as applied to Diablo Canyon Units 1 and 2.

The approach consists of predicting the response values for the San Onofre test panels by using the energy-balance technique and correlating them with measured test results. The licensee also made available at the meeting a draft report for examination by the staff and its consultants during the meeting. Both the draft report and the PG8E presentation contained

-proprietary information. Based on its cursory audit of the PGAE draft report and on the information provided in the PG&E presentation, the staff found the PG&E approach to be promising. However, the staff indicated a need for a more thorough review of the draft report in order to provide further i

comments to be addressed in the final report. The licensee was requested to submit the draft report for staff review, including both proprietary and non-proprietary versions. PG&E comitted to submit the draft report in the near future. Based on the licensee's presentation, the staff requested that additional information as listed in Enclosure 2 be included in the final report.

The staff stated that additional coments or need for additional infonnation, if any, will be identified at the completion of its review of l

the draft report in about one month.
