Addition                                       -
The use of 4% and 7% damping values for safety related conduits with Thermolag is based on the following:
i (1) The structural supports and clamp supports for safety related Train A ana B conduit systems with Thermolag are shcwn to have the characteristics of s bolted structure and are therefore subjected to the Regulatory Guide 1.61 damping values of 4% (OBE) and 7% (SSE) for bolted structures; (2) A number of other nuclear facilities have used 4% and 7% damping values in their evaluations of safety related conduit systems similar to those systems found at CPSES: and, (3)
Representative test data, conservatively interpreted, for CPSES Train C conduits and unistrut supports prcvide evidence that 7% damping is achievable. These                                                 s results can then be extended to the safety related conduit systams for justifying the use of higher damping values for specific cases.

                  . covers and solid bottom type with or without covers. Trays are supported on structural steel frames anchored to the ceilings, walls, or floors, and braced transversely and longitudinally.
Under normal conditions of loading and support spacing, trays and                             66 their supports may have natural frequencies which are lower than 33 Hz; therefore, they are requireo to sustain amplified accelerations, I                   and are designed for the peak values of the floor response spectra at the applicable support elevation, unless a frequency analysis is performed to justify the use of lower acceleration values.
For the quaiification of trays, maximum equivalent static loads for                            66 SSE are determined from the pzaks of floor response spectra curves corresponding to 7% damping, unless a frequency analysis is performed to justify the use of lower acceleration values and are based or,the full mass of the tray (weight of the tray plus cable).                        Suppliers are

The results are combined using an interaction formula to account for the simultaneous application of deadloadandearthankeexcitationinthetnreeprincipaldirections,j Supports for the Seismic Category I electrical cable tray and conduit                         44 system are designed to resist the gravity and seismic loads imposed on                              ,

is generally based on the peak values of the applicable floor response spectra, unless a frequency analysis is performed to justify the use of lower acceleration values. Floor response spectra corresponding                            54 to 7% and 4% darpings for the SSE and OBE, respectively are used for the design of cable tray support systems. For the design of conduit supports, floor response spectra corresponding to 3% and 2% dampings                         44 for the SSE and OBE, resDectively are used. For Thermolag upgrade to                         DRAFT safety related conduits, damping values of 4% and 7% for the OBE and SSE are used, consistent wtih Regulatory Guide 1.61 for bolted s uc hres.
