Nelson Grace In our January 17, 1985, letter, Georgia Power Company submitted a summary of our evaluation for the 10 CFR 50.55(e) item concerning NSCW Piping System Design Temperatures.
Attached is a copy of that evaluation marked with margin bars and additional information clarifying certain statements.
These clarifications are in response to questions raised by your inspector during his review.
In addition, we have reverified that the appropriate design tempera-ture was used in calculations for lines requiring pipe support system design modification.
During this review we identified three referenced ISO numbers that were incorrect for the line number listed.
These are corrected on the attached copy.

Georgia Power Company has concluded its evaluation of this condition and determined that a reportable condition per the criteria of Part 10CFR21 and 10CFR 50.55(e) does exist.
In accordance with regulatory guidelines in NUREG-0302 and other NRC documents, Georgia Power Company is reporting this condition per the reporting requirements of Part 10CFR 50.55(e).

NUCLEAR SERVICE COOLING MATER PIPING SYSTEM DESIGN TEMPERATURE EVALUATION FOR A REPORTABLE CONDITION Initial Report:
Mr.
R.
E.
Folker, Georgia Pcwer Company Quality Assurance Engineer, reported a potential deftciency to Mr.
W.
H.
Rankin of the USNRC, Region II on December 18, 1984, concerning the design temperature used for some of the piping system analyses in the Nuclear Service Cooling Water Piping System (NSCW).
Background In'ormation:
The analyses of some of the NSCW pioing system was completed based on a design temperature of 1500F.
This temperature was used since the maximur. mixed mean return water temperatuare to the NSCW cooling tower will always be less than 1500F.
However, as a result of the ultimate heat sink analysis, it was found that a portion of the NSCW piping could operate at temperatures greater than 1500F for a limited time following a design basis accident with single train operation.
For these conditions, the affected piping could reach a peak temperature of 2700F, remain above 2000F for about one hour, 4
and above 1500F for about twelve hours.
1 Engineering Evaluation:
in the affected lines g i
The stress analyses for the affected lines were completed using a design temperature of 1500F.
Since the design temperatu was changed to 2800F, the iping stress analyses were revised.
Design modifications were made to the pipe support systems as required to keep the piping system stresses below the allowable values.
' respective' l
Exposing a piping / support syster which was designed for 1500F to j
2800F temperatures produces pipe thermal stresses above the amount considered in the original analysis.
It is not obvious, without i
l more analysis, if the affected pipe support system would have allowed I
for the additional. thermal stresses.
If this discrepancy were to for the _
have remained uncorrected, the thermal stresses resulting from the temprature. increase could have caused the failure of -the supports l
lines
+ g h, in Attachment 1.
These lines are essential to the safe opera-l idantified_.
tion of the plant.
Evaluation for Quality Assutance Program Breakdown:
It has been concluded that a significant breakdown in the Quality Assurance Program of Bechtel Power Corporation did not occur.
This error affected only 31 lines of approximately 12,800 lines and was detected during a design review.
==
Conclusion:==
It has been concluded t' hat the use of the incorrect design temperature for this piping system constitues a reportable condition pursuant to the critera of 10CFR21 and 10CFR50.55(e).
Georgia Power Company is reporting this event per the regulatory criteria of 10CFR50.55(e) to avoid duplicate reporting in accordance with NRC directions in NUREG-0302 Rev. 1.
_y
Corrective Action:
All Nuclear Service Cooling Water (NSCW) piping / support system compo-nents affected by this temperature change have been reanalyzed and, if required, appropriate design changes were made.
Design documentation for the piping line numbers listed in attachment 1 were reviewed to ensure consistency of the specified design temperature in
- 1) the Line Designation List, 2) the Supplemental Operating Mode Information document, and 3) the individual calculation packages.
This review concluded that the specified design temperatures in these documents were consistent.

' Note -
Design temperature changed from 150 F to 280 F in portions of the NSCW system.
NSCW lines were originally analyzed at temperaturas of 150 F or less.
Reanalysis of the affected portions of the system resulted in the redesign of some pipe supports for the lines listed, even for lines (i.e. 151 & 181) that maintain a design temperature of 150 F.
