PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NO.1 (TAC NO. M98505)

Dear Mr. Myers:

Your letter of August 11,1997 (PY-CEl/NRR-2194L), responded to unresolved items (URI) and I

inspection followup items resulting from NRC Inspection Report No. 50-440/97-201. The staff

has reviewed your response to URI 97-201-10. " Pipe Crack Criteria for Moderate-Energy Piping l

Outside Containment," and has prepared the enclosed sakty assessment. '

in the enclosed safety assessment, we have concluded that Perry's application of moderate- l

energy line break criteria for nonseismic Category I piping systems may not be consistent with

the Perry Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-0887) nor with Standard Review Plan (SRP) i

Section 3.6.1. In addition to postulating cracks in nonseismic moderate-energy systems in  !

accordance with SRP Section 3.6.2, pipe ruptures (unless the piping is seismically supported)

'

iriitiated by an earthquake must also be postulated and evaluated for the effects of flooding on

safe shutdown equipment in addition to the effects on the ooeration of any seismic Category I

systems to which they are connected to satisfy the requirements of General Design Criterion 2,

" Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena (GDC 2)."

You are requested to provide information to demonstrate that the plant and Final Safety

Analysis Report are in compliance with the staff's position and GDC 2 as discussed in the

safety assessment. Prior to responding to this letter, please feel free to contact me if you

believe that further discussion with the staff would clarify your response. Please respond or

contact me within the next 30 days at (301) 415-1364.
