Protective Seals on Power and Control Cables

The inspector examined the storage conditions of the approximately

100 partially filled reels of power and control cables lef t over

from the construction of Unit No. 1, for use.on Unit No. 2.

The

cables were stored outdoors, with the cable ends nonunif ormly

protected with electrician's or friction tape.

The constructor's Procedure ECP-3-2, Revisicu 6, Paragraph 4.4.4

~

sta+cd "The ends of all cable / wire stored outside shall be scaled

-

to prevent the entrance of moisture". No method for scaling the

cable was provided.

'

.

-

,

-

-8-

The cable Purchase Order No. C-0084, and ref erenced Specification

No. 2555-68, Amendnent 5, Paragraph 4.0 states " Contractor shall

furnish instructions on the reccarended methods for the storage

"

of the cables".

Tne contractor provided the licensee, in Engineering Memorandum

N o .. 129, dated September 16, 1971, with scaling instructions which

included stripping the cable ends crd sealing with four layers of

insulating tape f ollowed by two layers of f riction bape and one

layer of vinyl electrical tape.

Failure to f ollow this sealing procedure on t _ cable ends is con-

sidered to be a deficiency in noncompliance with Criterion V of

10 CFR 50, A.ppendix B.

3.

12ck of Protection f rom Water f or Instrument-tion Cables

_

The inspector examined the instrumentation cable storage conditions.

The cable was stored in a shed whose f our sides were protected by a

wide-cesh wire f ence which af forded no protection from rain or

snow. Four reels of Type 15FI asbestos-braided instru=entation

cable were f ound :tn an area reserved f or power cable.

Tnese were

covered by a tarpaulin, but were in direct contact with the unpaved

ground, and were exposed to ground water.

,

These storage conditions were not in accord with' the requirements of

Specification No. 2555-106, Amendment 4, Paragraph 3.8.2.4, and

Specification No. DS38948-1, June,1971.

.

.

Failure to store the instrumentation cable properly is considered

to be a deficiency in noncompliance with Criterion XIII of 10 CFR

-

50, Appendix 3.

_

4.

Nonsenrecation of Scrapped Cable

The inspector examined the outdoor cable yard used for storage of

conforming power and control cable,

Several reels of nonconforming

(scrapped) cable were found among t.he reels of accepted cable with

nothing in evidenca to identify the cable as nonconforming.

The f ailure to prevent inadvertent use of nonconiorming material is

considered to be a deficiency in noncompliance with Criterion XV of

_

10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
