Methodology for Analysis of Primary. Coolant Loops for steam Generator Replacement (SGR).

1 In the May 17, 1990, safety evaluation report methodology (DGH) used for generating floor son res(SER) of the

=e spectra (FF.5)direct for generation the snubber reduction program at Catawba 1 and 2, t1e .4RC staff approved, after ',

extensive discussions with Duke Power Company (DPC), the use of a composite--  :

ground response spectrum (GRS) as in)ut for generating the FRS utilizing _ an_

appropriate DGM (Reference 1). In t1e same SER, the. staff also approved the-use of a computer program called EDASP for DGM.- In response to a question-(raised by the staff during a teleconference on October 28,1992), DPC stated that it will generate the new FRS using either the time history method or the DGM as permitted in Section 3.7 of the FSAR.

1. DPC should clarify if it intends to use, in the SGR project at Catawba 1, the same composite GRS and the DGM that were approved for the snubber reduction program at Catawba 1 and 2 in the May 17, 1990, SER cited above; if not, DPC should furnish the details of the GRS and the analysis procedure it will use for generating the FRS for the SGR project at Catawba 1. In order to expedite the resolution.of this-issue, DPC is advised to review all of its submittals and the staff's review comments and additional information requests on-its application for the snubber reduction program at Catawba 1 and 2, and provide detailed information on the two related issues, namely, the GRS and the analysis procedure used.

2. Similarly, furnish the details of the GRS and the analysis procedure that will be used for the SGR project at McGuire 1 and 2.
