131.64 The reference to R.G.1.22 on P. 3.7-24 appears to be erronecus. The (3.7.2) correct Regulatory Guide should be R.G.1.122.

-131.55 On page '3.7-15.a statement is made that the stresses are within the (3.7.2).

( 3. 7.2 ) _ .

(RSP) is contradictory to a statement made in Section 3.7.2.1. In the responsh,

.ycu stated that you intend to ecmply with the Regulatory Staff posi-tien, which allows local yielding due to 1m; active and impulsive

^ "~

loads. Yet, in the.jecjian. 3.L2.1,_ you stated that yield s_tressjts_, ,

may exceed the secondary stresses "to the extent set fort.5 in the  ;

appropriate design standards and codes". Remove the ambicuity by specifying-the codes and standards and indicate your compliance with the staff's' position, which allcws stresses. in excess of yield only when the impactive or impulsive leads are present. ,

. t 131.67 Your response to Item 131.17 is not satisfactory in that instead of (3.7.2) resconding to the original cuestion you eliminated the :ertinent information frem the PSSAR. In view of the above, provide inf:rmatien and a satisfactory justification pertinent to the treatment of tne mass mcment of ir.ertia of each structure. In additi:n, Figure 3.7-13

referred to in your response is not a ccmclete mathematical medel. n Sections 3.7.2.1, 3.7.2.11 and other places, mentien was made of using finite element techniques in medeling the structures. Figure 3.7-13 .

does not reflect such a representation. Provide the c:mpleta model used in your seismic analysis.

131.68 Explain and justify the folicwing statements on page 3.7-17 of the (3.7.2) 53AR:

131.69 .In' Section 3.7.2.4, you indicated that the resthods of analysis of (3.7.2) .

Category I structures for the soil-structure interaction to be used in future confimatory analyses will be according to those specified in Table 2.7-3.of the SSAR.- It is the regulatory staff position that each utility applicant refsrencing GISBSSAR perfom confimator/

soil-structure interaction analysis to demonstrate design adequacy of Category I structures and the acceptability of such confirmator/

analysis will be reviewed en a case by case basis in the future site related applications. Therefore, the discussion pertaining to future confimatory analysis methods together with the Table 3.7-3. referenced should be deleted 7.nd a comitment to comply with the above stated staff position be provided in its place by the applicant.

131.70 Your response.to Item 131.17 is not satisfactory in that you failed to

-131. 71 Your response to Item 131.39 is not satisfactory. Section 3.8.1.4 (f)

loads on the anchors and the liner plate.

131.72 our . response to -Itam 131.40 is not adequate. The question did'not '

(3.8.1) state that you must combine the effects of peak temperature and  ;

pressure effects, but simply asked you how are you combining such effects. - This you did not answer. Describe the method of analysis to account for temperature gradient in the containment. Al so , j usti fy.

SEB INTERIM POSITTONS FOR REVfE'4 AND ACCEPTABLE Enclosure

  • .- 0F i DUCTILITY OF REINFORCED CONCETE AND STEEL STRUCTURAL. ELE!ENTS SUBJECTED TO IWACTIVE CR I@ULSIVE LOADS INTRODUCTION In the.. evaluation of over.sil response of reinforced concrete structural elements (e.g., missile barriers, colt.mns, slabs, etc.) subjected to impactive or impulsive 1 loads, such as impacts due to missiles, assumption on non-linear response (i.e.,

ductility ratios greater than unity) of the structural elements is generally , ,

acceptable provided that the safety functions of the structural elements and those -

of safety-related systems and components supported or protected by the elements are maintained. The following summarizes specific SES interim positions for review t

and acceptance of ductility ratios for reinforced concrete and steel structural elements subjected to impactive and impulsive loads.

SPECIFIC POSITIONS

1. REINFORCED CONCRETE SENERS 1.1 For beams, slabs, and walls where flexure controis design, the pemissible ductility ratic under impactive and impulsive loads should be taken as i 0.05 . .g '10 0 o*' ,

where ; and a' are the ratios of tensile and compressive reinforcing as defined in 'CI-318-71 Code.

1.2 If use of a ductility ratio greater than 10 (i.e., u> 10) is required -

to demonstrate design adequacy of structural elements against impactive  !

or impulsive loads, e.g.,-missile impact, such a usage should be identified in the plant SAR. Infonation justifying the use of this relatively high -;

i ductility value shall be provided for SE3 staff review.

. , l'.3* For beam-columns, walls, and slabs carrying axial compression loads

and subject to impulsive or impactive loads-producing flexure, the.

permissible ductility ratio in flexure should be as follows:

(a) When compression controls the design, as defined by an interaction diagram, the permissible auctilty ratio shall be 1.3.

(b) When the compression load does not exceed 0.lfe' Ag or one-third of that which would produce balanced conditions, whichever, is

,l smaller, the permissible ductility ratio can be as given in Section 1.1.

(c) The permissible ductility ratio shall vary linearly from 1.3 to that given in Section 1.1 for conditions between those specified in ( a) and (b) . (See Fig.1.)

1.4 For structural elements resisting axial compressive impulsive or I

! impactive loads only, without flexure, the eermissible axial. ductility ratio shall be 1.3.

1.5 For shear carried by concrete only 9 - 1.0 i For shear carried by concrete and stirrups or bent bars u - 1.3 i For shear carried entirely by stirrups a - 3.0
