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
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
Outside Containment," and has prepared the enclosed sakty assessment.
'
in the enclosed safety assessment, we have concluded that Perry's application of moderate-
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.
Sincerely,
