Dear 1th. Grier:

This will serve to confirm PPGL's report of 1/9/79 (A. R. Sabol, PPGL to KC Reactor Inspector, A. Finkel) which conveyed supplemental information relative to the subject interim report.

The initial report advised that the deficiency, which was peculiar to terTILination module connector plugs, was under further investigation.

Sub-sec{uently, during the process of sho2~ning PGCC cables, it was rated that a high percentage (approximately 30%) of non-safety related cables also edubited cuts and nicks similar to those reported for the T-modules.

These PGCC cables, which were also supplied by G.E., are used to interconnect the ACR panels ard the terinination cabinets.

I Specifically, the deficient conditions noted durirg the process of shortening the PGCC cables included the following:

o Conductor insulation nicked or damaged o

Wires not properly installed or crimped in the connector pins o

Improper. soldering (this involves carrying the cable shield through the connector plugs via a connector pin)

PE('ULrt)any p~

Mr. Boyce H. Grier January 15, 1979 Cable shortening of safety-related cables has not yet started and there is no absolute evidence that they are so affected; however, due to problems identified for the high percentage of non-safety related cables, the condition is being projected as genic and, therefore, potentially reportable under 10CFR50. 55 (e).

The corditions relative to PGCC cable have been 'identified by Bechtel and are being controlled under NCR-3231 even though the deficiencies concern non-safety related circuits.

Bechtel has also documented the conditions in its IMPAR-1-29 (attached) and a January 2, 1979, supplement thereto.

You will be advised of further developaents as they occur.

Very truly yours, N. N. Curtis Vice President-Engineering 6 Construction ARS:rn b ce:
