BLRD-50 438/81-55,~ h39/81-57 FINAL REPORT 4 Description of Condition Potential LOCA prassures were not included in the design of each Reactor Building hatch cover at elevation 646. The weight of the hatch cover, as presently designed, is not sufficient to prevent uplift because of potential differential pressure _between Peactor Building floors. The LOCA preu ures were rot included in the design of the baten because of a designer oversight.

Safety Inplications If pressure differentials became such that the hatch cover could

' t aome a projectile or uplift and fal! b=.ek through the opening to the 622 floor, safety class equipment could possibly incur damage.

Corrective Action The hatch cover will be redesigned to ne of sufficient weight to prevent uplift during LOCA conditions by August 31, 1982. The redesigned . hatch cover will be inst alled by October 31, 1082.

TVA's review has shown that this As an isolated deficiency which~is not connon to all hatch cover designs. The deficiency occurred because of designer oversight. The individual. involved in the-subject deficiency has bccn reinstructed in TVA design procedures.
