U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission i Region II Docket No. 50-339 101 Marietta Street, Suite 3100 3 Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
In accordance with 10CFR50.55(e), NRC Region II was notified on August i 3,1978 that a field modification which was made to the reactor vessel in-sulation on North Anna Unit 2 had not been seismically analyzed. [.
Interim reports were submitted to NRC Region II on September 1, 1978 and f November 10,1978 (Serial No. 456A and 456B, respectively) stating that the ;
i clips which support the reactor vessel insulation may exert excessive forces on the incere instrumentation (ICI) tubes in the event of a worst case earth- :
quake. It .<as determined that as many as six ICI tubes may yield, but the structural integrity of the tubes would not be violated. !
( 1 Westinghouse and Stone & Webster have redesigned the reactor vessel in-sulation support structure to prevent overstressing of the ICI tubes. The structure ~ consists of a frame which supports the bottom reactor vessel insula-tion assembly. The frame is attached to the inside surface of the neutron shield '
tank. The loads from the insulation lower head are transmitted to the frame via clamping devices which attach the lower head insulation to the support frame. The :
clips presently attached to the ICI tubes which have caused the overstress condi- !
tion will be removed following installation of the new support frame. Unit 2 in-stallation will be completed prior to initial fuel load. ;
We consider this to be the final report under the provisions of .
10CFR50.55(e). Please contact me if further infomation is required.. '
Ver tru yours, Sam C. rown Jr.
