Docket No. 50-390

Tennessee Valley Authority

Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402-2801

Dear Dr. Medford:

SUBJECT: WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT - SAFETY EVALUATION ON USE OF U-BOLTS


(TAC M79718 and M80345)

Enclosed is the staff's safety evaluation (SE) concerning the U-bolt pipe
clamp issue that was identified during the Integrated Design Inspection at
Watts Bar (Inspection Report 50-390/92-201). The staff finds that TVA has not
provided sufficient justification to demonstrate that the U-bolt pipe clamps
as used at Watts Bar are acceptable. Thus, the staff concludes that the
U-bolt pipe clamps at Watts Bar should be replaced with clamps of an
acceptable design. The enclosed SE provides details of the staff's
evaluation.

The staff will be ready to meet with you, on your request, to address proposed
alternatives regarding U-bolts.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Peter S. Tam, Senior Project Manager
