20555 NRC DOCKET NUMBERS 50-424 AND 50-425 OPERATING LICENSE NPF-68 CONSTRUCTION PERMIT NUMBER CPPR-109 V0GTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT-UNITS 1 AND 2 SETTLEMENT MONITORING PROGRAM Gentlemen:

VEP is currently committed to reading all plant settlement markers at 60-day intervals. With the onset of the operation of Unit 1, this task has become increasingly expensive and time-consuming due to operational interferences and the installation of security barriers. We have therefore reviewed our settlement program and det. ermined that modifications can be made which will continue to provide ample data for settlement evaluation purposes while reducing the amount and difficulty of the work involved.

The proposed modifications to the settlement monitoring program are as follows:

o Change the reading frequency on 65 of the most stable markers on the Unit 1 side (at or east of the plant centerline) and six markers on the Unit 2 side, from 60-day intervals to 6-month intervals. Affected markers are located in completed areas where neither concrete placement nor backfilling have recently occurred.

o Improve the accessibility of 30 markers located in Unit 2.

This will primarily consist of moving markers currently located within the smaller category 1 structures to points on the outside of the structures but still within a few feet of the original marker location. In some cases markers will be moved to a higher elevation.

o Discontinue the readings of two markers: 423-1 and 423-lb.

Log:-

Page 2 The justification for the. proposed reading-frequency modification is as

-follows:-

<(1).

The markers affected -(see : Table 1). are stable. :This can be verified

~

by reviewing the_ settlement' drawings provided with Appendix A.

~ Thesel

~

drawings, which show'the graphical plot of settlement as a function of time,- demonstrate that the ' settlement. of. these. markers.has essentially leveled off.

(2)

Where the affected markers have been used to calculate.. differential

~

settlement between structures the gross differential settlement is, low. These' low ' differentials 'are shown in Table' 2.. They are calculated.from the first date.both markers;were monitored, not merely subsequent to installation of piping.

(3)

The: differentials which have been' measured'are~substantially less than the differentials for which the piping has been analyzed.' It can be~

seen from' Table 2 that in the unifkely event that-relatively substantial differentials were to develop in the future at these interfaces, enough margin remains so that' piping would not be overstressed.

The above data demonstrate that no changes are likely to occur within a 6-month period which would affect our evaluation of the settlement data.-

The markers which will be moved to improve their accessibility will continue to provide accurate data for the portion of the structure they represent.

Their plan view location will continue to be essentially the same as shown on drawing AX2D55V001 in Appendir A so that continuity with their original locations will be preserved. Moving these marker locations. to the exterior of structures or to higher elevations will increase settlement monitoring efficiency without detracting from the accuracy of the; program.

Finally, we will discontinue reading markers 423-1 and:423-1b. Subsequent to-heavy rains and erosion in the power block backfill. in 1979 (reference Final Report en Dewatering and Repair of Erosion in Category 1 Backfill:in-Power Block Area,- August 15, 1980), three sar'kers were installed to monitor:any unanticipated settlement which might occur near eroded areas. These markers have'never shown any unusual settlement and their settlement has stabilized.

None of the markers is used in the calculation of' differential settlements.

One of' the three markers, number 423-la, will continue to be read, but at - month-intervals.. Readings for the - remaining two markers,' 423-1 and 423-1b, will be discontinued but the markers will be retained so that - they will be available Lif readings are requested at some future date.

We would appreciate-your. reviewing these modifications to our settlement monitoring program and. notifying us as to your acceptance.

Should your staff require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
