Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137 CPPR-170 CPPR-171 Marble Hill Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 & 2

Dear Mr. Keppler:

On August 6, 1979, Mr. J. U. Bott of Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc.

(PSI) telephoned your office to notify you of a potentially reportable in-cident as required by 10CFR50.55(e) . In November 1978 Co==onwealth-Lord J.V. installed temporary lighting in the Auxiliary Building by utilizing approxi=ately 220 "Hilti" type shot-on studs. These studs were installed into e= bedded safety-related grade A-36 steel plates without an approved procedure or an evaluation as to the potantial effects on the embedded plates. In most cases, these shot-on studs were placed en the edge or in a corner of the embedded plates so as not to interfere with any per=anent fixtures to be welded to the plate. These subject studs are shot onto the embedded plate using a .22 caliber or a .45 caliber shell which forces the approximately 1/8" dia=eter stud shaft into the plate.

PSI was unable to determine that this incident was not significant and there-fore elected to report it as potentially significant under 10CFR50.55(e) .

The following corrective actions have been taken to insure proper installa-tion of such studs in the future by Ccenonwealth-Lord:

1. No attach =ents are to be made to safety category I structures until written authorization is available.

2. All attachments to safety category I structures are to be installed in accordance with approved procedures.
