T ENCLOSURE BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 OMISSION OF WATER WEIGHT IN VALVES IN PIPING ANALYSIS BY TELEDYNE BLRD-50-438/84-39, BLRD-50-439/84-36 NCR BLN CEB 8408 10 CFR 50.55(e)

SECOND INTERIM REPORT Description of Deficiency In performing rigorous piping analysis on some valves in the aomponent cooling system, Teledyne Engineering Company, Waltham, Massa 2husetts, did not consider water weight inside the valves. This means that the results of the analysis are potentially unconservative for support loads, nozzles, and stress values.

One common table of valve / flange data (which did not account for the weight of the water inside the valve) was prepared to be used in a number of component cooling system problems. All of the affected piping analysis problems are listed below:

N4-1KC-P N4-2KC-P N4-2KC-G N4-0KC-K N4-2KC-H N4-2KC-N N4-1KC-M N4-2KC-M N4-1 KC-G N4-1KC-H N4-1KC-N Interim Progress As indicated in our first report on this nonconformance, TVA is reviewing the affected piping analyses to determine the need for reanalysis. The findings to date indicate that the current analysis and related designs are adequate.

We will provide further information in our next report to be submitted on or about September 13, 1985.
