PHASE I FINAL REPORT on ANALYSIS OF MATERIALS D. C. COOK SAFETY INJECTION MOTOR MATERIALS QUALIFICATION to AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER SERVICE CORPORATION from BATTELLE Columbus Division by Tom Gruber and William Merick

'December 30, 1987 INTRODUCTION A 400 horse power safety injection motor which was qualified for Class 1E service (equipment for nuclear power generating stations) was sent to a non-certified shop for balancing. The rotor was balanced and, as is normal practice, the stator was varnished and the end windings painted.

There is concern about the status of the Class IE qualification of this motor as a result of the use of non-certified materials used to varnish the stator.

The chemical compatibility of the newly added varnish with the original materials is unknown.

A two phase program was proposed to American Electric Power (AEP) .

by Battelle to resolve these questions. Phase I, Analysis of Materials, involves a search for information and data to demonstrate that the newly added materials and the original materials are compatible, and that the motor remains qualified for Class 1E service. Phase II, Materials qualification, involves the irradiation of a combination of the original stator materials

and the newly applied materials to demonstrate that there. is no adverse reaction to radiation.

This is the Final Report for Phase I. The following sections contain a summary of the work performed, conclusions, and recommendations for further action by American Electric Power. The final section of this report, Materials Analysis Oetails, provides permanent documentation of the informa-tion located and highlights the information that substantiates the con-clusions. The final section, Materials Analysis Oetai ls, is lengthy and is directed toward those persons with a detailed interest in the effects of radiation on organic materials.

SUMMARY

The objective of the Phase I analysis of the materials was to determine if the varnish and paint added to the motor have any adverse effect on the originally qualified materials and the qualification of the motor.

The first step was to obtain information about the materials used by the motor manufacturer, Westinghouse, and the shop which balanced and varnished the motor.

The two materials used by Westinghouse were identified as:

Item 81 8-6-665, Air Ory Insulating Enamel-Epoxy, and Item d2 8-172 Epoxy Varnish.

The information about the materials used by Westinghouse was proprietary and was obtained only after Battelle had entered a confidential information agreement with Westinghouse.

The shop that balanced the motor used material manufactured by Schenectady Chemical, Inc., with the registered trade marked name Aquanel 600, a water borne insulating varnish. This varnish is a modified alkyd solution containing dimethylaminoethanol and butyl cellosolve.

The search for pertinent data in published literature was conducted in two steps: (I) a search of published indexes of engineering and technical literature, and (2) a search of computerized databases. As it turned out, a

3 report on a significant survey was located which contained an extensive bibliography. Copies were obtained of pertinent reports and journal articles from this bibliography. The most recent information obtained was dated 1979.

The computerized database search was then conducted to obtain the most recent information available, 1986. Abstracts contained in the computer search off-line output confirmed the conclusions which had been made from the pre-1980 information. Copies of several original reports located by the computer search were ordered to obtain information on the specific materials used on the motor inquestion.

No information was found on the specific materials used on the D.

C. Cook Safety Injection Motor. However, all the information obtained from world-wide sources confirms that with few specific exceptions organic materials used for paints, varnishes, and insulating coatings may be expected to perform satisfactorily to radiation doses up to 108 rads. This informa-tion is summarized in the last section of this report and pertinent details have been highlighted by arrows in the lefthand margin ( ==> ).

CONCLUSIONS Review of the information obtained through the literature search supports the following conclusions:

(1) Radiation damage is not likely to occur until the varnishes and paints in question have received a dose of more than 108 rads.

(2) There is not likely to be any problem unless the original and over-laid varnish and paints are chemically incompatible.

(3) It is feasible to perform a relatively simple laboratory evaluation of the materials in question to determine chemical compatibility.

(4) If the materials are incompatible, there is no need to perform irradiation tests.

(5) Thermal aging of varnish and paint samples may be performed prior to irradiation of samples.

(6) If the materials are chemically compatible, and if electrical measurements after irradiation to 108 rads (gamma) show no degradation, continued use of the motor for its Class 1E application is acceptable.

RECOMMENOATIONS The following recommendations are made on the basis of the above conclusions.

(1) The chemical compatibility of the original motor insulation materials with the newly applied insulation materials be determined experimentally. These experiments may be conducted using twisted pairs of copper wire and need not use stator windings. Small sample size analysis technique should be used with a sample size of 16.

(2) If the original and the newly added materials are chemically compatible, irradiation experi-ments should be conducted to verify the effects of radiation on this material combination.

These experiments should be conducted to a total dose of 108 rads with insulation resis-tance and voltage breakdown measurements made before and after irradiation. It is not necessary to make these measurements during irradiation. The experimental samples may be twisted pairs of wire. Small sample size analysis techniques should be used with a sample size of 16.

MATERIALS ANALYSIS DETAILS Literature Search The literature search was conducted in three steps:

(1) Search of the A lied Research index to obtain specific references and also to determine which technical journals contained papers about radiation and Class 1E motors.

Search of the yearly indexes of selected publications and journals.

(3) Interrogations of computerized databases.

Thre e extensive databases were searched through the services of Dialog Informa tion Services, Inc.:

(1) DOE ENERGY, the database of the United State Department of Energy, is one the world' largest sources of literature references, on all aspects of energy and related topics. DOE ENERGY provides coverage of journal articles, report literature, conference papers, books, patents, dissertations, and translations. The following energy topics are included: nuclear, wind, fossil, geothermal, tidal, and solar.

Related topics, such as environment, energy policy, and conservation are also included.

The EI ENGINEERING MEETINGS database covers significant published proceedings of engineer-ing and technical conferences, symposia, meetings, and colloquia. The file is produced by Engineering Information, Inc. EI ENGINEER-ING database covers all disciplines of engineering including civil engineering, environmental engineering, geological

r.

(3) The COMPENDEX database, produced by Engineering Information, Incus provides coverage of the world's significant engineering and technologi-cal literature. The database corresponds with the printed Engineering Index. Publications from around the world are indexed, including approximately 4,500 journals, publications of engineering societies and organizations, technical reports, monographs, and publications from approximately 2,000 conferences each year.

Summaries and abstracts of pertinent articles and papers located are contained in the final section of this report, "Literature Survey Summary."

IEEE Transaction on Power Apparatus and Systems, Vol. PAS-102, No. 8, August 1983 SOME CONSIDERATIONS AND METHODS MHICH MAY BE USED TO QUALIFY EQUIPMENT IN A MILD ENVIRONMENT Perry L. Kline and J. Haratyk Bechtel Power Corporation 12400 E. Imperial Highway Norwalk, CA 90650 Abstract - This paper presents a definition of a so called "mild or non-harsh env>ronment", a method to qualify (Class 1E) equipment in this environment, and the reasons behind this approach.

Extracts The mild environment area is define as any area where the environmental parameters which are present when an accident occurs (LOCA, MSLB, or HELBA) show no significant difference from the environment experienced during normal/abnormal plant operations.

Class 1E mild environment qualification program should contain the follow considerations, criteria and constraints:

Supplier's documentation must clearly show that the equipment is capable of performing its Class 1E function in the postulated environmental and service conditions...

4- A surveillance and maintenance program should be in-itiated if item number three is not satisfactory. This jointly by program should be developed and implemented the owner and supplier .

In addition to industry experience, considerable analyti-cal data has been published concerning non-metallic materials and their susceptibility to time/temperature ef fects and radi ati on damage threshol ds. A starting point in developing surveillance test intervals would be to list all non-metallic materials, their properties of interest, and identify the weak link materials that are likely to suffer loss of the important material charac-teristics due to environmental influences.

'o The first step in performing a surveillance test is conduct a thorough visual inspection... The second step is to perform the specific test to measure the physical and operational parameter selected... The last step is to examine the test results and verify that all acceptance criteria have been achieved.

Emphasis should be directed toward the correct inter-pretation of any drift or change in the operating parameters or response time, together with the process and environmental conditions... measured during surveil-lance testing.

Industry standards may be used for guidance, but should not be considered to be acceptable as a total Class 1E equipment qualification program...

Abstract - The purpose of this paper is to discuss several topics of concern regarding the qualification of Class 1E equipment for use in Nuclear Power Plants and to present experience'ained in establishing methodologies and/or guide-lines to streamline the qualification process.

10 Extracts In the absence of approved specific equipment standards, numerous equipment suppliers have attempted to satisfy thermal aging criteria by utilizing the 10 degree C rule (specifically for insulating systems). The acceptance of this analysis depends on the available state of the art, activation energy factors (expressed in eV) of component materials have not progressed sufficiently to allow for accuracy. The 10 degree C rule is only an ap-proximate method. A large error may results in obtaining a test temperature and duration if the activation energy is not constant throughout the tempera-ture range. An extreme degree of conservatism may also be imposed during testing so that the results appear more pessimistic, thus projecting a reduced qualified life.

The following aging analysis, based on IEEE 323-1974 and IEEE 101-1971, offers a comparison between the 10 degree C rule and an Arrhenius calculation based on a component material's activation energy...

The qualified life of the... material using the 10 degree C rule would be 1.269 years. However, based on the Arrhenius calculation using activation energy, the qualified life is 40 years.

12 Extracts Or anic Materials as a class are highly susceptible to radiation damage via ionization, on breakage, free radical formation, and recombination. The class includes all plastics and elastomers in all function and forms such as adhesives, encapsulants, films, coatings, foams, and fabrics. These materi-als are most effected in their physical properties, usually becoming embrit-tled at relatively low dose.

Although the name of the material is unchanged, the actual chemical formula-tion could have been changed over the years. This is a particular danger with trade names.

[Structural and mechanical properties that change usually include thermal conductivity, which is closely related to electrical conductivity.]

EI-15, No. 4, August 1980 THERMAL AGING PREDICTIONS FROM AN ARRHENIUS PLOT WITH ONLY ONE DATA POINT Robert R. Di xon Westinghouse Electric Corporation Research and Development Center Pittsburgh, PA 15235 Abstract - Arrhenius plots are useful in predicting long-term use tempera-tures o7 organic materials and in choosing parameters for accelerated aging.

For materi al s and components wi thout estab i shed Arrhenius curves (whi ch i s 1

also a measure of the activation energy of degradation) would allow longer-term prediction from a few short-term tests. Conversely, a required long-term temperature target can be extrapolated on the same slope to a range of short-time exposure temperatures suitable for accelerates tests. A review is made of available activation energies, from which values can be selected for conservative 'extrapolations on an Arrhenius plot.

Extracts dR/dt = A exp(-E/kT) dR/dt is reduction in property with respect to time.

.is a constant.

is the activation energy of the aging reaction.

14 Integration of the rate equation followed by taking of the logarithms results in ln t = (E/k) 1/T + B is a straight line known as an Arrhenius plot.

From an examination of a typical Arrhenius plot, it can be readily seen that if the slope is steep (high activation energy), long-life extrapolations degradation mechanism with reach relatively high temperatures. An undetected a lower activation energy would reduce the effective long-term temperature, with the conclusion that the prediction was optimistic. However, if the curve has a low slope, the chances of an even lower activation energy are minimal, and the projected life is a conservative value.

In place of establishing the Arrhenius line from a number of aging experi-ments, it has been proposed that the line could be established from one test point and an assumed slope. If the slope were selected to be very conserva-tive (low activation energy), then the performance of the material or part would be expected to exceed longer life (lower temperature) predictions.

The key to these approaches is the development of a method of selecting an Arrhenius slope which can be considered to be a conservative value.

... activation energies were determined from Arrhenius curves provided in a series of Westinghouse unpublished RED reports. Properties monitored for these materials included flexural strength, impact strength, dielectric strength, etc. The actual values calculated from 667 Arrhenius slopes are listed in Table l.

The number of materials in each increment of 0. 1 eY was plotted against activation energy...; the peak occurs about the same energy value [1. 1 eY, 23000 cal), but the number of materials below 0.5 eV is only 3 percent.

this distribution on log-normal, and 95 percent of the values exceed 0.61 eV.

The conservative slope selected was 0.5 eV.

TEST RESULTS ON AN ENAMELLED WIRE, A POLYESTER GLASS LAMINATE AND AN EPOXY CASTING RESIN Paavo Paloniemi Oy Stromberg Ab Helsinki, Finland Paul Linstrom Technical Research Center Espoo, Finland Abstract - Comparative test results are presented on polyester-imide coated copper wires, a polyester glass mat laminate, and a heterocyclic epoxy resin.

Tests have been performed according to the application principles of the EAP theory, described in Paper II of this series. Results of test show that the ageing behavior of these materials is well predictable on the basis of EAP tests, and in every case better than the prediction based on conventional test results, whenever a reliable comparison could be made. With the exception of one insignificant deviation, all the material behaved according to the EAP principles developed in the theoretical Pape'r II of this series.

The results described here and those published earlier can be taken as the proof of reliability of the EAP method for thermal endurance testing of electrical insulating materials.

-The Fujikura Cable Works Ltd.

Abstract - Various polympric insulating materials for cables were degraded by

~s>mo ated irradiation and environmental conditions for normal operating and under accident at a nuclear power reactor. Thermally stimulated currents

=-

were observed only in the crystalline samples, and the higher the crystal-

18 linity, the large the amounts of detrapped carriers. The change of fine structure of the degraded sample was investigated by the change of X-ray crystallinity, melting behavior, and glass transition temperature. The radiation induced conductivity was studied during irradiation and a decay curve was measured after the irradiation. Analysis of the conductivity decay curve enables us to detect at most four kinds of carriers with different time constants. Long-lived carriers were hardly observed in the non-crystalline samples, while many were seen in the crystalline samples. With the decrease of crystallinity by degradation, only short-lived carriers were observed, indicating the existence of trapping sites for the long-lived carriers in or around the polymer crystallites. Treatment of samples with high temperature steam and chemicals showed no special effect on the samples except for polyimide which dissolved in alkaline solution.

Other Re orts EPRI NP-2129 Project 1707-3 Final Reports, November 1981 RADIATION EFFECTS ON ORGANIC MATERIALS IN NUCLEAR PLANTS M.B. Bruce and M.V. Davis Georgia Institute of Technology Nuclear Engineering Department Atlanta, Georgia 30332 Pro'ect Descri tion - Equipment in nuclear plants must be qualified to per orm sa ety-re ated functions after long periods of exposure to low-level radiation during operation and after short periods of high-level radiation during accidents postulated for design... This report by the Georgia Institute of Technology presents the results of a literature search for data concerning the radiation resistance of organic materials.

Pro'ect Results - The report includes an overview of radiation effects and an extensive ist of organic materials in order of increasing resistance to radiation damage. An important finding is that a total dose of less the le5 rads produces no significant degradation of mechanical or electrical proper-ties. (Notable exceptions are equipment that contain Teflon or semiconductor devices). Also, at this level, no significant synergistic effects of radiation combined with other environmental stresses, such as elevated temperatures, were identified. The results of this work will be of interest to utility engineers, architect-engineers, equipment manufacturers, and regulatory staff involved in the qualification of equipment for radiation effects.

Abstract - A literature search was conducted to identify information useful in inetermining the lowest level at which radiation causes damage to nuclear

19 plant equipment. Information was sought concerning synergistic effects of radiation and other environmental stresses.

Organic polymers are often identified as the weak elements in equipment.

Data on radiation effects are summarized for 50 generic name plastics and 16 elastomers. Coating, lubricants, and adhesives are treated separately.

Inorganic and metallic are considered briefly. With a few noted exceptions, these are more radiation resistant than organic materials.

Some semiconductor devices and electronic assemblies are extremely sensitive to radiation. Any damage threshold including these would be too low to be of practical value. With that exception, equipment exposed to less than le4 rads should not be significantly affected. Equipment containing no Teflon should not be significantly affects by le5 rads.

Data concerning synergistic effects and radiation sensitization are dis-cussed. The authors suggest correlations between the two effects.

Extracts Specifically, little threshold information is available for complete com-ponent/equipment items. . . many equipment items function acceptably with degraded materials.

Organic polymers are most often identified as the weak element(s) in opera-ting equipment and so as a group were selected for detail study.

Inorganics and metallic are generally little affected by radiation environ-ments that cause considerable degradation in organic materials. Important exceptions are identified in Section 2 .

Reference 44 presents the following generalized statements drawn from a number of sources:

1. Pigmented coatings are more resistant to radiation than those containing little or no pigments. Carbon black inhibits damage, while some grades of titanium dioxide accelerate damage. Extender pigments appear to contribute to color change.
2. Realistic comparisons of different coating systems can be made only if the same pigment compositions are used in all vehicles.
3. The choice of primer is important when a costing to be subjected to radiation is applied to metal substrates.

20

4. The degree of cure for any specific system can influence apparent radiation resistance.
5. Residual solvents can influence radiation resistance.
6. To a point, gamma radiation (and Heat) initially improves the physical properties of many organic coatings. Exposure to radiation beyond a given point tends to excessively crosslink and/or degrade organic coatings. This leads to coating embrittlement which develops into failure. For epoxies applied to steel,

'ailure usually occurs at the metal-coating interface.

... many coating systems are not greatly affected by radiation exposures below le8 rads.

Privileged Communications (N8472N0928)

Extracts Since some confusion appears to exist in the nomenclature used in the insulation field, the following definitions are used ...

Ename1 is the coating app1ied direct1y to a bare copper wire to yieie magnet wire.

Varnish is the material used for wet-winding or dipping coils, to

~oint>e individual turns of the coil in place.

Im re nant is the compound used in conjunction with fabric tapes to orm a protective coat over the entire coil.

Cement is an adhesive compound used to hold the completed coil in proper position in the motor.

Resin is the organic polymer solid used in enamels, varnishes, f~

impregnants, and cements.

It is accepted by the insulation industry that not all varnishes are "com-patible" with any given magnet wire, or with each other. Insulation is 1 f 1 1 d 1 . b1 1 react to so ten or craze ename s.

A burn-out testin device was utilized to determine compatibility of materi-a s sn the potting compound formulation. This burn-out testing device is similar to that described by W. G. Stiffler in his paper "A Motor

21 Manufacturer Evaluation of Electrical Insulating Materials", given at the 6th Electrical Insulation Conference in 1965...

The test comprises preparing a twisted pair of 20 gage polyester-polyamide-imide round enamels wire (producing 10 twists per 5 inches as outlined in the standard test methods - ASTM-325l) while applying a 1000 gram tension load on the wire during twisting. The twisted pairs are then dip coated in the selected pottant formulation or brush coated to give a completely and evenly coated wire finish. The pairs are cured at the recommended schedule after which the coated wire ends are stripped and the pairs evaluated to failure in the burn-out apparatus... An apparatus was designed and built at Battelle that applied independently contr'oiled a-c current of 40 amperes to each wire of a twisted pair. A potential of 120 volts (a-c) is applied across the twisted pair to indicate failure. The twisted pair is enclosed in a Plexiglass cover to remove the influence of air currents and maintain temperature uniformity. Measurements of the surface temperature of the twisted pair carrying 40 amperes in each wire showed that 400 C was being obtained with this apparatus.

It is felt that the test simulates better than any other method available the conditions that might be expected from serious overloads. It also appears in light of the data being obtained on varnished and unvarnished twisted pairs, that the method is of value in determining system compatibility of insulation components.

==> radiation. It was concluded that coatings that satisfactorily passed the simulated LOCA tests will also pass the simultaneous LOCA tests."

"The following general statements, which are based on reported data and results concerning radiation resistance, can be used as reference points:

I- Pigmented coatings are more resistant to radiation than those containing little or no pigments. Carbon black inhibits damage while some grades of titanium dioxide accelerate damage. Extender pigments appear to contribute to color change.

2- Realistic comparisons of different coating systems can be made only if the same pigment compositions are used for all vehicles.

3- The choice of primer is important when a coating to be subjected to radiation is applied to metal substrates.

4- The degree of cure for any specific system can influence radiation resistance.

5- Residual solvents can influence radiation resistance.

6- To a point, gamma radiation (and heat) initially improves the physical properties of many organic coatings. Exposure to radiation beyond a given point tends to excessively crosslink and/or degrade organic coatings. This leads to containing embrittlement which develops into failure. For epoxies applied to steel, failure usually occurs at the metal-coating interface."

"In general, the onset of coating deterioration was noted at radiation dose of 108 to 10g rads in water."

"The electrical properties which determine an insulator's behavior and which are studied in this paper include:

a) The dielectric stren th, which determines the maximum electric se w hach can be supported without failure; b) the electrical conductivit , which indicates the ease of charge transport; c) the dielectric constant, which shows the degree of polarszatson; d) the loss tan ent, which indicates the rate of energy lost to energy store in the dielectric.

All these properties depend on:

1) the chemical structure, crystallinity, crosslinks density;

28

2) the number of free charge carriers, their mobility and their ability to transfer energy to the surrounding molecules;
3) the polarizable species i.e. molecules with a permanent dipole moment and the orientation of the polar groups;
4) the number and energy distribution of electron-trapping sites."

"Transient phenomena can materially alter the electrical properties of a polymer during irradiation. One of the most striking transient changes is the enhancement of the electrical conductivity of the polymer. The conduc-tivity of epoxy resins, for example, increases as much as four orders of magnitude in a strong nuclear field."

"Irradiation conditions The irradiations were performed in the water reflector of the ASTRA-reactor at Seibersdorf (Austria). This radiation facility produces mainly gammas.

The dose rate corresponds to approximately 7 rad/hr with a reactor power of 5 M. Watt and an ionization chamber is used as dosimeter.

In all cases, test samples were irradiated in demineralized water at about 30 C. The absorption of water during irradiation is between 0.5 and 2.5 per cent for samples with dimensions 150 x 150 x 2 mm3.

"~Cd During irradiation the current is approximately proportional to the applied field and varies with the radiation intensity I, usually following an IO 8 power dependence. This is difficult to explain in simple terms...

30 The post radiation current decreases approximately as (t+a)-1 (t is time after cessation of radiation). This time dependence is likewise difficult to account for on any simple theory."

HANDBOOK ON EPOXY RESINS Henry Lee and Kris Neville McGraw-Hill Book Company Radiation Resistance, pp. 6-42 to 6-44 "Tests conducted to determine the effects of the various types of irradiation indicate:

1. Thermal neutrons ...
2. Fast neutrons ...
3. If the environment may react with the irradiated sample, the dosage rate becomes important. For example, electron radiation may produce free radicals at a greater rate than oxygen can diffuse into sample thereby causing cross-linking reactions to predominate. In the case of gamma and pile irradiations, free-radical production is sufficiently low to allow the diffusion of oxygen to influence the degradative process, causing shortening and inhibition of cross-linking.

Because of the interdependency of dosage rate and environ-ment, aging studies in atmosphere under high dosage to obtain accelerated data may not adequately define the performance under actual service conditions.

... In general, the more heat-resistance the epoxy compound, the more irradiation-resistant it will be.

With regard to chemical resistance after radiation, it has been found that the number of decontaminations an epoxy-resin coating can withstand without degradation is not effected by doses below 107 rads. Above this dosage the useful life is reduced to two cycles.

SUMMARY

(Continued)

This report contains two sections.Section I presents the data recorded during the Receiving/Visual Inspection, Radiation Exposure, and Post-Test Inspection.

Section II presents the Wyle Laboratories'est Procedure No. 40053-01, Revision B, used to perform the test program.

The test program was performed in the sequence indicated in the previous paragraph and as specified in the Test Procedure. During the irradiation period, the test specimen showed no indication of degradation or damage. The insulation resistance values, recorded before, during, and after the exposure period, showed no appreciable difference in levels such as to indicate degradation. The test specimen is therefore considered to have met the acceptance criteria specified for the radiation exposure.

Dear Mr. Walters,

This letter sunmarizes the parameters pertinent to the irradiation of one (1) electrical nator. Reference your Purchase Order number 4-4623-P dated August 8, 1988.

A. Descri tion of the Irradiated Material The equipnent tested consisted of one (1) 400 Horse~, 3-phase, electric gator, manufactured by Westinghouse. (S/N 70F70184)

B. Arran ements for Gamma Irradiation As per your test procedure number 40053-01 dated July 18, 1988 (Revision A 08-08-88), the motor was in a hot cell and subject to a total integrated dose of 10E6 rads gama, air equivalent, a dose rate less than 1.0 E6 rads/hour.

C. Procedure for Uniform Gamma Irradiation Prior to the initiation of the motor exposure, a gama field dose rate check was performed. This simply was to confirm that the dose rate auld not exceed 1.0 Mrad per hour.

The cardboard nrIdel was checked at three plans (front, back and middle) with five (5) dosimeters on each plan to determine the average center point dose rate.

The motor was rotated 180 degrees throughout its exposure. The rotation occurred when the center point dose reached 50% of the required mininIum dose.

The total length of time be~ rotation intervals is called a half exposure.

D. Calculation of the Dose I

The delivered dose to the motor was calculated by multiplying the dose ISOlVIEDIX (NEVI JERSEY)) INC.

r-'

S O IVI F D I X rate by the time for each half ensure and adding them together. The minimum reported dose is the lowest total value from any of the three (3) plans accumulated fran the two half exposures. The 11aximum reported dose is the highest.

E. Dosime~

Do imetry was performed using Harwell 4034 Perspex dosimeters utilizing a Bausch and Lcmb Model 1001 spectrophotaneter and a Texas Instrument 59 Calcu-..=.:=

lator as the read out instrument. The Batch AW dosimeters were calibrated traceable to a recognized standards laboratory with the last calibration date being November 21, 1988. The spectrophotaneter used (S/N 0715493 N) was last calibrated by Baush and Lcmb personnel on October 29, 1988 using standards traceable to NBS. The Measuretaent tolerance for this dosimetry system is estimated to be + 8.0%.

Me dose rate values stated in this report were calculated by dividing measured dose by exposure time. Combining the estimated uncertainty of the dose measurenent (+ 8.0%) withthat of the tim measurement (+ 0.01%) yields an uncert~ty of + 8.01% for rate measurenenm.

The total dose values stated in this report are calculated by multi-plying measured dose rates by exposure tim . Ccmbining the estimated uncer-tainty of the dose rate rreasureaent (+ 8.01%) with that of the time measure-ment (+0.09%) yields an uncertainty oZ + 8.10% for total dose naasuretrIents.

G. Qualit Assurance The processing of this rotor followed the procedures outlined in the Isanedix Inc. Quality Assurance Manual for Reactor Canponent Processing, Revision I dated May 18, 1988. The program specified in'.this. manual is designed to comply with the quality assurance requirenents of 10-CFR-50, appendix B and the reporting requirements of 10-CFR-21.

SUMMARY

(Continued)

This report contains two sections.Section I presents the data recorded during the Receiving/Visual Inspection, Radiation Exposure, and Post-Test Inspection.

Section II presents the Wyle Laboratories'est Procedure iVo. 40053-01, Revision B, used to perform the test program.

The test program was performed in the sequence indicated in the previous paragraph and as specified in the Test Procedure. During the irradiation period, the test specimen showed no indication of degradation or damage. The insulation resistance values, recorded before, during, and after the exposure period, showed no appreciable difference in levels such as to indicate degradation. The test specimen is therefore considered to have met the acceptance criteria specified for the radiation exposure.

eg Page No. I-1 Tes t Re p or t N o. 40053-02 SECTION I RECEIVING/VISUALINSPECTION, RADIATION EXPOSURE, AND POST-TEST INSPECTION 1.0 REQUIREMEi /TS Receiving/Visual Inspection The test specimen shall be subjected to an inspection for the purpose of identification and documentation. The inspection shall be performed as specified in Paragraph 3.1,Section II, of this report.

1.2 Radiation Exposure The test specimen shall be subjected to the Radiation Exposure Test as specified in Paragraph 3.2,Section II, of this report. Before, during, and after the irradiation period, the test specimen shall be subjected to Insulation Resistance Tests as specified in Paragraph 3.2.1,Section II, of this report.

1.3 Post-Test Inspection Upon completion of the radiation exposure, the test specimen shall be subjected to a post-test inspection. The inspection shall be performed as specified in Paragraph 3.3,Section II, of this report.

2 0 PROCEDURES 2.1 Receiving/Visual Inspection A visual inspection of the test specimen was conducted upon receipt at the radiation facility. The inspection was performed in order to document the manufacturer and model number of the specimen to be tested and any noticeable damage.

Radiation Exposure The test specimen was placed in the hot cell at Isomedix, Inc. Facility and subjected to a dose rate of approximately 0.5S X 10 rads/hour. At a point midway through the radiation exposure, the test specimen was rotated 180'o ensure uniform exposure distribution. The test specimen was subjected to a minimum total integrated dose of 10.01 X 10 rads gamma, air equivalent. Upon completion of irradiation, the test specimen was removed from the hot cell.

Insulation resistance measurements were performed on the test specimen before, during, and after the period of radiation exposure. The test specimen was positioned in the hot cell during all insulation resistance measurements. Each insulation resistance measurement was conducted by applying 1000VDC to the specimen motor phases (connected together) for one minute. Insulation resistance values were recorded upon completion of the one minute interval.

WYLE LASORATORIES Huntsville Facility

Page No. I-2 Test Report No. 40053-02 Revision A 2.0 PROCEDURES (Continued) 2.2 Radiation Exposure (Continued)

The resistance readings were between the motor phases and the frame (ground) for all testing. Insulation resistance measurements performed during irradiation were conducted at intervals of approximately four hours each. All measurements performed during irradiation were conducted at 1000VDC.

Additional insulation resistance measurements, performed at the Test Engineer's direction, were as follows:

The initial insulation resistance measurements (performed prior to irradiation) and the final insulation resistance measurements (performed upon completion of irradiation) were conducted at the additional test voltage of 500VDC. The insulation resistance measurements were performed at a five minute interval, in addition to the required one minute time frame. The additional insulation resistance information was recorded on a Test Data Sheet for inclusion in the test report.

2.3 Post-Test Inspection Upon completion of the radiation exposure, the test specimen was visually inspected. The inspection was performed without disassembly of the test specimen. The condition of the test specimen was recorded and compared to the condition prior to the Radiation Exposure Test. 0:

3.0 RESULTS The test specimen was subjected to the test of Paragraph 2.0 and met the requirements of Paragraph I.O. The post-test inspection indicated that there was no observable damage to, or degradation of, the test specimen as a result of the radiation exposure. There was no evidence of discoloration, cracking, or flaking of the non-metallic materials composing the test specimen. There was no evidence of test specimen degradation as a result of the Irradiation Test.
