- located on the ring girder of Unit 1 have not been installed. 3Se sketch numbers for anchors in question for Unit 1 are: 1- 612-1-3* , 4 * , 5* , 6* , 7 *,

8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13*, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18; for Unit 2 are 2-613-1-3*, 4*, 5*,

6*, 7*, 8,- 9, 10,-11, 12, 13*, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. The, asterisks indicate anchors designed for installation on the ring girder.

All sixteen (16) Unit 2 anchors were installed in 1976, early 1977, based on

- the Bechtel approved supplier's Rev. O design, which did not include any reinforcing pads.

The ten (10) Unit 1 anchors located in the dome area were installed, based on -

~

the approved supplier Rev. O design, in early 1977 prior to the lif ting and setting of the Unit 1 dome.

• f ' However, prior to the installation of the remaining six (6) anchors in the y

Unit 1 ring girder area, a revised anchor design was received from the supplier j' which included reinforcing pads. These pads have not been installed pending

~

4 receipt of the pad material. -

. A revirew of the status of the pad material during' the week ending March 13, 1978

questioned the need for.the reinforcing pads, bringing out the fact that the '

j design of the installed hangers may exceed the code allowable stresses. .

l' .

The apparent cause appears to be a deficiency in the supplier design calculations f if the R.B. Spray Piping Anchors are overstressed during operation of the system ,

the performance of the Spray System may be degraded.

have this potential overstressed condition.

Potential Safety Implication A potential safety problem could exist if the overstressed piping deformed "  ;

' plastica 11y and impeded reactor building spray flow following a LOCA or-MSLB. Until a final analysis confirms that existing design is adequate,

' this deficiency should be considered potentially reportable.

Investigation

• ~ This condition exists because ITT Crinnell's original anchor design did not use a reinforcing pad to distribute the loading into the piping.

The 1976 analysis used by Grinnell in designing these d anchors d ate.

indicated However, i

i

.that the original design, without reinforc ng pa s was a equ in early 1977, Crinnell advised that they were having difficulty with

'other anchor designs where large loads were involved. As a result of several meetings between Grinnell and Bechtel, guidelines for des'ign of .

pipe, anchors including a reinforcing pad concept were estab

' not advise that these anchorsCrinnell might be has ef since fected.usedBechtel'did not question these guidelines,

o. -the validity of the design.

b supported-by a three dimensional finite element analysis, in the design of all other Grinnell designed piping anchors in the Mid. land plant.

- Thus, only the spray piping anchors have this original design. .

Corrective Action The following actions have been initiated in resolving this situation:

1. prinnell has agreed to recheck their analysis for these specific .

anchors to ensure that previous analycis is technically correct.

~ 2. Bechtel has initiated a reanalysis of the piping system in order to '

define specific loading for each of the subject anchors hich (previoua was

c. Final seismic response data 3.' Th'e results of the analysis in 2 above (in the form of unique load sheets for each anchor) will be forwarded to Grinnell for reanalysis of each individual anchor. '
