Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

In accordance with 10CFR50.55(e), NRC Region II was notified on August i

3,1978 that a field modification which was made to the reactor vessel in-sulation on North Anna Unit 2 had not been seismically analyzed.

[.

Interim reports were submitted to NRC Region II on September 1, 1978 and f

November 10,1978 (Serial No. 456A and 456B, respectively) stating that the i

clips which support the reactor vessel insulation may exert excessive forces on the incere instrumentation (ICI) tubes in the event of a worst case earth-quake.

It.<as determined that as many as six ICI tubes may yield, but the structural integrity of the tubes would not be violated.

(

1 Westinghouse and Stone & Webster have redesigned the reactor vessel in-sulation support structure to prevent overstressing of the ICI tubes. The structure ~ consists of a frame which supports the bottom reactor vessel insula-tion assembly. The frame is attached to the inside surface of the neutron shield tank. The loads from the insulation lower head are transmitted to the frame via clamping devices which attach the lower head insulation to the support frame. The clips presently attached to the ICI tubes which have caused the overstress condi-tion will be removed following installation of the new support frame.

Unit 2 in-stallation will be completed prior to initial fuel load.

We consider this to be the final report under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).

Please contact me if further infomation is required..
