      --*-                                          This letter provides an advance copy of'a change to be included in a future FSAR amendment. ~This change allows the use of the referenced ASME code edition and addenda documented in Safety Evaluation Report Supplement 14 Section 4,1.2.2_for the design limits of bolted piping support joints and bolted flange joints.
In order-to facilitate NRC staff review of this change, the attachment is organized as follows:
: 1.         Draft revised.FSAR pages, with changed portions indicated by a bar in the margin, as they are to appear in a future araendment.
: 2.         A detailed description / justification for the change.
: 3.         A copy of the related SER section.
: 4.         A page containing the title of a " bullet" which consolidates and categorizes similar individual changes -by subject and related SER section.

and 3 pipe supports and ASPE Code Class 2 and 3 piping systems. The                                                  ,

Comanche Peak Project Procedures CPPP-1 through CPPP-35 (Appendix E of this l supplement). The piping stress analyses and pipe support calculations will become the CPSES analyses of record and provide assurance that the structural qualification of the piping and pipe supports within the CAP scope are in accordance with CPSES licensing commitments and the applicable requirements of
             .the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (References 27 and 28). The following sections discuss the staff review and evaluation of the CPSES design criteria and analytical methodologies used in the piping and pipe support design validation.
Review of Final Safety Analysis Report Amendment 61 In Amendment'01 (Reference 31) to the CPSES Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)
(Reference 32), the applicant provided the changes made to the FSAR piping design criteria as a result of the CAP design validation effort. As a result of its review of the FSAR Amendment 61 changes, the staff concludes that the changes do not si and supplements                           (gnificantly Reference 11)alter theinstaff except          findings the areas      in thetoprevious related     (1) the CPSES SEP combinationofloss-of-coolantaccident(LOCA)andsafe-shutdownearthquake (SSE) Iceds (Section 3.9.2.3 of the SER) and (2) the piping system damping values (Section 3.7.1 of the SER).
The staff evaluated the combination of LOCA and SSE loads for reactor coolant system heavy component supports in its safety evaluation provided in a letter from C. I. Grimes (NRC) to W. Counsil (TU Electric) dated June 8, 1967 (Reference 33), in conjunction with the implementation of the final rule on the modification of 10 CFR SO, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 4 requirements for protection against the dynamic effects-of postulated pipe ruptures (51 Federal Register 12505, dated April 11,1986). Similarly, the staff found that the use of revised damping values per ASME Code Case N-411 (Reference 34) was acceptable for CPSES as discussed in a letter from V. Noonan (NRC) to W.
Counsil (TU Electric) dated March 13, 1986 (Reference 35).
The staff also reviewed the technical acceptability of the FSAR Amendment 61 changes and the use of later ASME Code provisions as perinitted in paragraph NA-1140(f) of the ASME Code Section III (Reference 27). The staff's review of the use of later ASME Code provisions focused primarily on the technical justifications provided in the applicant's report entitled, " Documentation of ASME III NA-1140 Review for Piping and Supports," Revision 2, dated September 30, 1987 (NA-1140 report). This report documented the applicant's review performed to ensure that the use of design criteria in CPPP-7 is in conformance with paragraph NA-1140(f) of the ASME Code and, in particular, that all related ASME. Code requirements are met. The code of record for CPSES piping is ASME
            - Code Section III,1974 Eoition, including Sumner 1974 Addenda Subsections NC/ND (Reference 27). The code of record for CPSES pipe supports is the 1974 Edition including Winter 1974 AdJenda Subsection NF (Reference 28). On the basis of its review of the NA-1140 report, the staff finds that all related Comanche Peak SSER 14                                           4-6
