Dear Mr.Crutchfield:

This letter is in response to your letter of December 30, 1981, transmitting the draft Safety Evaluation Report for this topic, as well as two contractor reports which formed the bases for the SER.The first contractor report, Franklin Research Center draft Technical Evaluation Report TER-C5257-322,"Design Codes, Design Criteria, and Loading Combinations," identifies code changes that have occurred that.could have decreased margins of safety.RG&E was requested to assess the safety margins where such code changes have been identified.

This is a substantial task, requiring the review, comparison, and analysis of major sections of the ASME, AISC, and ACI Codes.We have not yet been able to assess the full scope of effort needed to perform this evaluation.

It is expected that a schedule for performing the necessary analyses will be submitted to the NRC by the end of May, 1982.The second contractor report, Structural Mechanics Associates Report SMA 12205.27R,"Combined Loads Evaluation," dated December 1981, addresses a potential containment liner plate integrity problem.The enclosed Gilbert/Commonwealth report,"Containment Vessel Evaluation," responds to the SMA report.The conclusion of the G/C report is that.the structural integrity of the studs and liner would be maintained.
