Dear Sir:

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated April 16, 1974 1.

In response to your questions, please note that i do not know of any major uncertainties in my area of specialization re-maining to be resolved in the proposed design.

I Jo, however, consider necessary to finalize the clarification of the fol-lowing areas:

(a)

Pipe whip restraint design criteria.

From the informa-tion received from GE and Bechtel, I believe adequate justification for high allowable strains in energy absorbing components exists, however, I would like to hear the applicant presentation on the subject.

(b)

Guard pipe design criteria and methods need to be dis-cussed.

(c)

Three-dimensional ef fects of blowdown ar.alysis have not as yet been fully considered.

(d)

Design loads for platforms above suppression pool water level.

2.

Yes, except far circumferential (3-dimensional) effects.

3 flo recommendation on experiment, suggest making analytical effort to clari fy the matter of 3-dimensional ef fects.

Yes 5.

I think elimination of the complex combustible gas control system in favor of a direct exhaust through suppression l

pool water should be considered.

However, I believe the proposed system will perform adequately as designed.

6.

Hone.

7.

Construction should proceed without waiting for further ex-perimental results.

Very truly yours,
