NG 98-0068 Page 1 of 22 IES Utilities Response to NRC Request for Additional Information (RAI)-
on Resolution of USl A-46 at the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC)
NRC Reauest_Lt On pages 46 and 47 of Addendum 7 of Reference 1 [NG-96-1817, letter from J. Franz (IES) to NRC," Response to NRC Request for Additional Information - Resolution of USI A-46," dated August 30,1996] you have provided a 'Iable showing the elevations (in safety-related structures) where the in structure response spectra (IRS) exceeds the corresponding (at the same damping value) reference spectra (1.5 times the bounding spectrum). Referring to your response to Question 6 in Reference 2 [NG-97-l l49, letter from J. Franz (IES) to NRC, " Response to NRC Request for Additional Information - Resolution of USI A-46," dated luly 2; 1997] we believe
'5 at you have evaluated the equipment and their anchorages using Ge IRS who the equipment eluencies are less than 8 liz.
(a) For the equipment (within 40 feet above the effective grade) with fundamental frequencies above 8 IIz, provide the method (s) used for their evaluation where the IRSs exceed the corresponding reference spectra at frequencies above 8 Hz.
(b)If Method A i.. Table 4-1 cf the [ Generic Implementation Procedure] GlP-2 was used, provide your techri caljustification for not following the GlP limitation on 'he use of Method A in Section 4.2.3 when the ground spectrum times 1.5 is less than the IRSs for elevations within 40 feet above the grade level.
IES Utilities Response:
(a) Of the 620 Safe Shutdown Equipment List (SSEL) items walked down and evaluated during ,
the A-46 review,336 items were evaluated for capacity versus demand using Method A of Table 4-1 of GIP 2. As noted in the RAI response dated July 2,1997, IRS were always used for quantitative evaluations (such as anchorage evaluations) regardless of which method, A or B,
. was used for the equipment capacity versus demand evaluation.
Of the 336 items,237 are located at elevations at which the IRS are enveloped by the corresponding reference spectra (1.5 times the bounding spectrum),56 are located at elevations where the IRS exceed the reference spectra, but not above 8 Hz, and 43 items are located where
- the IRS exceed the reference spectra above 81;Iz. These items are listed by building and
. elevation in Table 1. The frequency range where the IRS exceeds the reference spectrum is shown in the table along with comments regarding the lowest natural frequency of the equipment. It can be seen that the frequency of the equipment is above the frequency range where the IRS exceed the reference spectra; thus, either method, A or B, could have been used for the capacity versus demand comparison.

Attachment to NG-98-0068 Page 4 of 22 (b) The technicaljustification for using Method A is contained in Reference 5 of GIP-2 ("Use of Seismic Experience Data to Show Ruggedness of Equipment in Nuclear Power Plants," Senior Seismic Review and Advisory Panel (SSRAP), Revision 4.0, February 28,1991). From pages 101 and 102 of the SSRAP report:
"Often floor spectra for nuclear power plants are very conservatively computed, in such enses, an amplification greater than 1.5 may be found even at elevations below 40 feet above grade, llowever, when more median-centered analyses are performed that use reasonable damping levels for the structure and account for embedment and wave-scattering effects, these high amplifications are not observed with most earthquake ground motion records. The Seismic Safety Margin Research Program (SSMRP)(References 31 and 32)' has demonstrated the large conservatism which exists in traditionally computed floor spectra versus median floor spectra. Furthermore, floor spectra measured less than 40 feet above grade on moderately stiff portions of the Pleasant Valley " ump Station, the llumbolt Bay Nuclear Power Plant (Reference 33) and the Fukushima Naclear Power Plant do not show amplifications over ground spectra of more than 1.5 for frequencies above about 6 liz. In fact, on floors corresponding to near grade level, the floor spectra are less than or about equal to the ground spectra at frequencies above about 6 Hz. Thus, it is SSRAP's judgment that amplifications greater than a factor of 1.5 are unlikely in stiff structures at elevations less than 40 feet above grade, except possibly at the fundamental frequency of the building where higher amplifications might occur when such a frequency is less than about 6 Ilz Thus, for equipment with fundamental frequencies greater tnan about 8 IIz in their as-anchored condition, it was judged that floor spectral amplifications within 40 feet of grade would be less than 1.5 when reasonably computed using more median-centered approaches."
Limitations on the use of Method A are given in GIP-2, Section 4.2.3.
- Tir equipment should be mounted in the nuclear plant at an elevation below about 40 feet above the effective grade.
. The equipment, including its supports, should have a fundamental natural frequency gwater than about 8 Ilz.
- Seismic Capability Engineers should be alert for unusual, plant-specific situations which could cause the amplification factor to be greater than that of a typical structure. The 1.5 amplification factor is only applicable to reinforced concrete frame and shear wall structures and to heavily-braced steel framed structures.
The above limitations ensure that the amplification factor between the free-field response spectra and the IRS will not be more than about 1.5. There is no restriction that the ground spectrur.
times 1.5 be less than the plant licensing basis IRS for elevations within 40 feet above the grade level.
L ' NRC contractor LLNL presents the results of this work in NUREG/CR-1489 in which IRS are estimated to have factors of conservatism ranging from 1.5 to 8.
4 Attachment to NG-98-0068 Page 5 of 22 At the time of the DAEC Unresolved Safety issue (USI) A-46 review, the structures containing SSEL equipment a:.d the analysis methodologies used to compute the licensing basis IRS were reviewed (NG 92-3961, letter from J. Franz (lES) to T. Murley (NRC), dated September 21, 1992). The Seismic Capability Engineers determined that the stmetures were " typical," as defined in the GIP, and thus met the requirements for the 1.5 amplification factor. The analysis methodologies used to compute the licensing basis IRS aic typical of the conservative analyses discussed in the SSRAP report, which could show unrealistic amplification of over 1.5 even at l elevations below 40 feet above grade level, in 1994, IES performed a median-centered seismic analysis of the turbine building in support of a request for a Technical Specification (TS) amendment which deleted the TS requirements for the main steam isolation valve leakage control system (NG-94-2629, letter from J. Franz (lES) to W. Russell (NRC), dated August 15,1994). A description of the analysis was provided to the ,
NRC by letter dated December 21,1994 (NG-94-4632, letter from J. Franz (lES) to W. Russell )
(NRC)). The seismic reanalysis of the turbine building and generation of new IRS were !
performed in order to provide a more realistic estimate of seismic response of the structure. The reanalysis employed current state-of-the-art methods which were not available at the time the original seismic analyses were performed. The methods used in the reanalysis were in j accordance with the methodology described in GIP-2 for median-centered IRS. The seismic l model and the soil properties used in the reanalysis were based on the original seismic analyses.
Only the analytic methods used to account for soil-structure interaction were changed.
The seismic input motion used in the reanalysis was the 84th percentile non exceedence NUREG/CR 0098 ground response spectrum for soil sites at 5% damping. The seismic input motion was applied at the foundation of the structure. The resultant IRS curves, provided to the NRC in the December 21,1994 letter, clearly show that the original analyses for the turbine building were overly conservative. For building floor elevations within 40 feet above effective grade (i.e., up to Elevation 780) the maximum peak spectral acceleration for 5% equipment damping was 0.39g. The corresponding peak spectral acceleration of the input seismic motion was 0.325g. Thus, the maximum amplification of the IRS ever the ground response spectrum was 1.2. This supports thejudgments of the Seismic Capability Engineers that Method A was justified .

In evaluating the raceway supports, a recent audit of a GIP-2 plant indicated that some licensees -
may be misusing the " ductile support" definition of Figure 8-7 of GIP -2 to avoid the check for lateral seismic loads. In this context, pleace provide the following information:
(a) the number of supports (percentage of the total number of supports evaluated in the limited analytical review) considered as ductile, (b) the specific criteria used in determining that the supports are ductile, and (c) the extent to which ...: supports (that do not meet the vertical capacity check) and their anchorages will deform under the two horizontal components of the design basis earthquake.
IES R ,ponse:
(a) Filleen supports were included in the analytical review. Six of these were considered as ductile The typical raceway support configurations at DAEC are either braced cantilever bracket, which were considered potentially non-ductile, or wall mounted, which do not require the vertical capacity or ductility checks.
(b) Table 2 gives a summary of the supports in the analytical review, and for those considered as ductile provides the specific criteria used in the determination. Sketches of the supports are also provided for reference.
(c) There were no supports which did not meet the vertical capacity check.
