SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

~ UNIT NO. 2 OMISSION OF .VERTICAL REINFORCING STEEL IN REACTOR AUXILIARY BUILDING NUMBER 2 SOUTH, EXTERIOR, SHEAR WALL.

Final Report June 4, l980 Reportable Under lOCFR50.55(e)

Prepared by: Carolina Power & Light Company soo6>6o g+~

SUBJECT:

10CFR50.55(e) Repor table Item Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP)

Omission of Reinfovcing Steel in Unit No. 2 Reactor Auxiliary Building South Shear Wall ITEM: Unit No. 2 Reactor Auxiliary Building South, Exterior, Shear Wall SUPPLIED BY: Constructed on site NATURE OF DEFECT: A section of the Unit No. 2 Reactor Auxiliary Building South Shear Wall on each side of column F z 47 was poured (concrete placed) with alternate Reinforcing Bars missing on each face in the upper 4'-6" section of the 10'-6" high placement to elevation 201.0.'. A total of 52 bars were missing.

DATE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED TO EXIST: October 19, 1979 PROBLEM REPORTED: Reported to NRC Region II as "Potentially Reportable" on October 29, 1979 and as "Reportable" on October 30, 1979.

SCOPE OF PROBLEM: This Rebav omission was attributable to human error and all investigations into civcumstances surrounding the omission are discussed in detail in the References. All references are available for review on site and most have been pre-viously transmitted to NRC Region II.

SAFETY IMPLICATIONS: In the unlikely event that this Rebar omission had gone undetected, the reinfovcing steel on the South Face could have been stressed to 95.5 KIPS/square inch and the Novth Face could have been stvessed to 73.4 KIPS/square inch as compared to the design allowable yield stress of 54. KIPS/

square inch if the .most severe design basis conditions required to be assumed weve evev encountered. Calculations are available for review in the New York office of Ebasco Services, Incorporated. Since the ultimate stress for Gvade 60 Reinforcing Steel is 90 KIPS/square inch and actual user test data for No. 11 Bars used on this project are typically 103 to 110 KIPS/square inch, the actual consequences of the most severe design basis conditions assumed would be cracking of the wall in this localized area.

REASON(S) PROBLEM WAS REPORTABLE: The basis for considering this item re-portable is the amount of evaluation, testing and repair work requived to restore the desired safety margin to this localized portion of the structure.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The structure was repaired in accordance with PW-C-983, Rev. 1 which required holes to be drilled and bars grouted into previously placed concrete. Special tests were conducted to validate this repair method. Details of these physical repairs as well as administrative and procedural corrective actions are contained in the References. All References are available for review on site and most have been previously transmitted to NRC Region II.
