Dear Mr. Mroczka:

By [[letter::B10987, Forwards ASME Section Iii,Class 2 & 3 & ANSI B31.1.0 Piping Analysis, Ultrasonic Indications in Steam Generator Top Head Dome Weld. Evaluation Verified Structural Integrity of Plant Steam Generators,Per NRC|letter dated December 30, 1983]], the NRC staff forwarded Amendment No. 90 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-65. The amendment authorized Cycle 6 operation for Millstone Unit No. 2. The NRC Safety Evaluation accompanying the amendment addressed various aspects of the evaluations submitted to support Cycle 6 operation. The staff documented several concerns relating to the analysis of steam line breaks and steam generator tube ruptures and requested that these concerns be addressed by confirmatory calculations. The staff's concerns included the possible effect of a loss of of fsite power coincident with these analyzed events and the mixing factors considered in the steam line break analysis.

The staff has reviewed the supplemental Cycle 6 analyses provided in letters dated September 14, 1984, January 2, and November 8, 1985, and has concluded that these analyses are sufficient for satisfying our request for confirmatory calculations. We note, however, that the steam generator tube rupture was performed using a RETRAN model for Millstone Unit No. 2. While we find that this model was adequate for responding to our request, our acceptance of this calculation should not be construed as an acceptance of the Millstone Unit No. 2 RETRAN model for future licensing analyses. Should NNECo decide to utilize the RETRAN code for future licensing analyses, you should submit the Millstone Unit No. 2 RETRAN model for staff review and approval at that time.

Based upon the above, we consider the issue of supplemental Cycle 6 analyses to be closed.

I l Sincerely,

/s/
