Subject:
Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 1 Docket No. 50-416 License No. NPF-29 Generic Letter (GL) 96-06, Requested Sample Piping Analysis GNRO-99/00059 Gentlemen:
In response to GL 96-06 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) committed, in a letter dated November 4,1997, to take appropriate action to resolve the nonconforming condition for each Containment /Drywell penetration, determined to be susceptible to overpressurization due to thermal expansion of fluid. The eighteen identified penetrations will be restored to conformance with the licensing requirements prior to restart from RFO10 (now scheduled for Fall 1999).
At the request of Mr. Pat Sekerak, GGNS submits an example of the piping analysis being performed for the eight penetrations identified as being acceptable per analysis, (see summary table below). Please refer to Attachment 1 for the sample analysis for one penetration.
The current breakdown of the planned resolution is as follows:
Modification Procedure Valve Closure Time Acceptable per Required Change Change
- Analysis 4 6 penetrations 2 penetrations 2 penetrations 8 penetrations i, This change is cpphbtkp'on NRC approval of a pending revision to the GGNS
/
licensing basis th5t includes a relaxation of the containment isolation valves closure times. This submittalis currently under NRC review. e x -)$

I
- GNR6-99/00059 l Page 2 of 4 GGNS would also like to take this opportunity to clarify a point made in our June 9,1999 ;
letter. The descriptions of the planned resolutions for several penetrations included the I statement " Piping has been qualified using Appendix F of the ASME Code, Section Ill". ;
GGNS's UFSAR specifically addresses the use of Appendix F in the analysis of Class 1 l piping, Non-NSSS equipment and Class 2 Non-NSSS vessels. However, the penetrations of interest are ASME Section lil, Class 2 Non-NSSS piping. Therefore, in accordance with GGNS UFSAR Table 3.9-22 the design criteria to be used in the piping analysis of ASME Section Ill, Class 2 Non-NSSS piping, in the faulted condition, must conform to the requirements of ASME Code Case 1606-1. This methodology is essentially the same as prescribed in Appendix F, except for slightly lower allowable stresses. Therefore, as the evaluation of the penetrations is being finalized, GGNS will use ASME Code Case 1606-1 methodology and equations to determine the acceptability of the penetration piping.

Attachment 1 to GNRO-99/00059 Page 1 of 3 SAMPLE EVALUATION FOR ONE PENETRATION ASME Code Case 1606-1, for Class 2 piping states:
For Class 2 Piping subjected to Faulted Operating Conditions, (a) The permissible pressure shall not exceed 2.0 times the design pressure (P) calculated in accordance with Equation (4) of NC-3641.1.

-AN D-
' (b) The sum of the longitudinal stresses produced by occasionalloads defined in the design specification as faulted condition shall not exceed 2.4 times the allowable stress values given in Tables I-7.1 and I-7.2 of Appendix 1. Under faulted conditions, the quantity on the right-hand side of Equation (9) of NC-3650 shall be 2.4 Sn.
Equations (8), (10), and (11) need not be considered.
It is Grand Gulf's position that both requirement (a) and (b) must be met to conclude that no relief mechanism is needed Compliance with requirement (a)
NC-3641.1, Equation (4) is as follows:
2S3 (t., - A)
P=
D - 2y(t,, - A) t,,, = Use nominal wall thickness, (in).
A = Corrosion allowance per Specification GGNS-MS-03, (in).
D = Outside diameter of the pipe, (in).
y = 0.4 S,, = Maximum allowable stress at the Design Temperature per ASME Section 111, Appendix 1, table I-7.0, (psi).
The value of P ls calculated, doubled and compared to the predicted pressure per GL 96-06. If the GL 96-06 predicted pressure is determined to be larger than 2P, then appropriate measures are being taken to provide pressure relief for the pipe.

. Compliance with requirement (b)'
Since all the affected penetrations include only ASME Class 2 piping, the rules of NC-
' 3650 and ASME Code Case N-1606-1 have been used to satisfy the requirements of (b).
NC-3650, Equation (9) for Occasional Loads, Level D is expressed as follows:
Sa= Sr(pressure stress) + S,(weight stress) + Ss(stress due to dynamicloads) S 2.4Si in the calculation of the stresses, the load combinations specified in Appendix C of Grand Gulf Specification SERI-M-220.0 Revision 0, " Design Specification for Nuclear !
Piping Systems, Safety Related" were used. See Attachment 2 for more details. I The related piping stress calculations were reviewed and, S (weight stress) and S, (dynamic stress) values were extracted. The moment loading remained unchanged.
.The pressure stress is calculated as follows:
Pd' Sr = 9 _g2 2
P = Predicted ' pressure per GL 96-06, (psi).
d = Inside diameter of the pipe, (in)..
D = Outside diameter of the pipe, (in).
The calculated total stress value (S,), using the GL 96-06 pressure stress, is compved to the allowable limit (2.4S,,).
- When both requirement (a) and (b) have been met, the piping is considered acceptable.
