Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
SHQUOGQi KKKZAR PLANT UNIT 2 LCADS ON PIPE SUPPORP DESIGN MODIFICATICNS SQRD"50-328/81-08 - REVISED FINAL REPORT h The subject deficiency was initially reported to NRC-OIE Inspector R. W. Wright on December 17, 1980, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e) as NCR SQN CEB 8039. This was follcxmd by our interim reports dated January 19 and March 2, 1981. A final report was submitted April 1, 1981.
Enclosed is our revised final report. We inadvertently deleted the last line of the corrective action fran our final report.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with D. L. L-anlmrt at PXS 857-2581.
Very truly yours, TIMGKSEE VALXZY AUTHOR'S L. M. Mills, Manager Nuclear Regulation and Safety Enclosure-cc: Nr. Victor Stelio, Director (Encloeore)

REVISED FINAL REPORP Descri tion of Deficie Piping system analyses and support design for class 1, 2, and 3 systems inside containment were contracted out to EDS Nuclear, Incorporated. EDS tabulated design loads for the pipe supports on support drawings. EDS had design and revision responsibility for all piping reanalysis results which could have an impact on existing support designs. Load increases that resulted from piping reanalyses but did not require design modifications were not revised on the support drawings. Design control responsibility for all supgort drawings was subsequently turned over to TVA, and subsequent design modifications by TVA were based on the design loads tabulated on the drawings. .Therefore, scme design modifications by TVA may be based on unconservative loads. At the time of EDS's contract, TVA did not recognize that these load increases could have an adverse impact on subsequent support designs and therefore did not require that EDS tabulate these loads on the affected support drawings.
Safe lications Piping supports being based on unconservative design loads could fail during a seismic event. Failure of the supgorts could lead to pipe break and subsequent reduced coolant to the core which could adversely affect the safety of the plant.
Corrective Action TVA is ~ring the load values shown on the individual pipe supgort drawings to the corresponding loading on the revised EDS load tables.
Drawings which have load discrepancies are being evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if supports are adequate as designed or if redesign is necessary. The canplete evaluation and rework of supgorts, if required, will be completed, if possible, for Sequoyah before fuel loading. Any required rework not accomplished by fuel loading will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
