September 5, 1997 Mr. S. A. Patuliki, Sito Vice President Point Beach Nu :loor Plant 6610 Nuclear Road Two Rivers, Wisconsin 54241 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (POINT BEACH INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-266/96018(DRP); 50 301/96018(DRP)) Dear Mr. Patuiski: This will acknowledge rocoipt of your letter dated April 2,1997,in responso to our letter dated March 3,1997, transmitting a Notico of Violation associated with Inspection Report No. 50 266/96018(DRP); 50-301/96018(DRP) at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant. Wo have reviewod your corrective actions and have no further questions at this timo regarding violations No.1,2a,2c,3, and 4. Those correctivo actions will bo examined during future inspections. A. Our staff identified the followin0 discrepanc:es in your response to Violation No. 2b: 1) Figuro NF 11321, which is quoted in your responso, is not in the 1986 Edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code to which you have committed to perform your inservico inspection program. The correct figure for the 1986 Edition of the Code is NF 1131 1, which does not support your responso. 2) The statement in your responso that "The figuro explicitly states that baseplato, bolts (i.e., expansion anchors), and nuts shall be considered building structure," applies to a support attached to an imbedded beam. Since the violation was written against all types of component supports. (an examplo of a support beam was given in inspection Report No. 50 266/96018(DRP): 50 301/96018(DRP)) your statomont is in error. As an examplo, Figuro NF 11321, which is quoted in your response, delineates other support configuratims in which only the boits and nuts are cc isidered as part of the building structure (Figuro NF-1132 2 of the 1987 Addenda of the Codo clearly delineates this point). The inservico inspection boundary as defined in Figure IWF 1300-1 of Section XI and in Figure NF-1131 1 of Section 111 (of the 1986 Edition of the Code) delineates inspecting to the building surf ace, which ensures that excessive gaps do not render the support inoperable, f B. We have discussed those issues with your statt to our satisf action. Your correctm actions appear adequate to resolve this issue and will he the subject of future inspection activities. 9709230046 970905 ' PDR O ADOCK 05000266 'k,.> pay . ____.i. g _ _ _ _
