DISPOSITION WITH REGARD TO CFSP CONTENTION 20 STATE OF MARYLAND
)SS COUNTY OF MONTGOMERY)
I, Fred Clemenson, being duly sworn, depose and state:
1.
I am a Senior Systems Analyst, Plant Systems Branch, Division of Operating Reactors, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
2.
I have prepared the Statement of Professional Qualifications attached hereto and, if called upon, would testify as set forth therein.
3.
I am responsible for that portion of the NRC Staff's review of the
. proposed Trojan Centrol Building modifications related to the effects of vibration and construction generated dust and debris from the modi-fication work on equipment located in the vicinity of such work.
In this regard I am responsible for addressing, in part, CF5P Contention 20 which states, 20.
Inadequate assessment of the effects of drilling in the control building walls during modification has been made.
0 40 h
)
. 4.
I have reviewed in detail the proposed modification work with regard to drilling in Control Building walls which could generate vibration and dust and debris which could potentially affect plant equipment in the area of such work.
5.
I have reviewed the Affidavit of Richard C. Anderson submitted in support of the Licensee's motion with regard to CFSP Contention 20.
6.
Based on my review and evaluation of the proposed modification work and on the steps that will be taken to control vibration and the generation of dust and debris from drilling in Control Building walls, I believe that the vibration and dust and debris generated from such drilling work will not adversly affect equipment in the areas where such drilling will take place.
7.
Based on my review described in paragraphs 4 and 5, above, I concur in and agree with the statements set forth in paragraph 11 of the Richard C. Anderson Affidavit and paragraph 12 of that Affidavit insofar as paragraph 12 addresses the effects of vibration, dust and debris from drilling on equipment near the drilling site.
8.
Based on my reviews described in paragraphs 4 and 5, above, I concur in and agree with the Licensee's statement of material facts set forth in Part II.H of the motion with regard to CFSP Contention 20.

Fred Clemenson PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS PLANT SYSTEMS BPANCH DIVISION OF OPERATING REACTOPS I am employed as a Principal Engineering Systems Analyst in the Plant Systems Branch, Division of Operating Reactors, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission. Washington,.D.C.
My duties consist of reviewing and evaluating the associated safety considerations on nuclear plant systems and associated engineering fields on power, test and research reactors.
In this capacity I am also responsible for coordinating the activities of other assigned branch members.
I am responsible for providing technical input to various documents including Safety Evaluations, technical positions for Comission criteria as well as industry standards which have been assigned to the Branch.
After having served three years in the Navy (1942-1945) as an electronics technician, I attended University of Washington, Seattle, Washington and received a B.S. degree in Mechnical Engineering in 1948.
Whereupon I was employed as a instructor by the Mechanical Engineering Department of Oregon State College, Corvallis, Oregon, 1949-1950 where I taught courses in Statics, Dynamics, Elements of Mechanisms, Strength of Materials and Machine Design.
In September of 1950 I joined the General Electric Company's Reactor Design Division in Richland, Washington as a design engineer.
From that time to the present, my professional experience has been in the field of nuclear engineering.

I have been a licensed professienal engineer in nuclear engineering from the State of Californic since March 1977, certificate number 1166.
At the General Electric Company I designed an automatic shutdown mechanism and a remotely operated handling system for radioactive materials.
From November 1951 to May 1956 I was employed by American Machine and Foundry Co., (AMF) New York, New York. There I assisted in activities related to the design and development of a wide variety of specialized mechanical equipment for the production reactors at Savannah River Project, and APJ's line of swiming pool type research reactors.
During this time. I served as a development and tetting enginear for the prototype and production models of the control and shutdown mechanisms for the Savannah River production reactors.
Following this I served as the senior company representative, field engineer and consultant to E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company during the installation, checkout'and acceptance tests of the control, shutdown and refueling equipment designed by American Machine and Foundry Company on all five production reactors. Following this, I directed the design, development, assenbly and testing of a versatile research reactor control rod drive mechanism and other accessories.
From May 1956 to June 1958, I was employed by Combustion Engineemng Inc., Winc'sor, Conn. as a Nuclear Engineer III. During this time, I served as 'the mechanical core design group leader where I directed the design of refueling equipment, fuel elements and supporting structure for a submarine reactor.
Patent applications were applied for on two
methods.I developed to support the fuel elements.
From July 1958 to June 1961 I was e'aployed as a Staff Engineer by General Nuclear Engineering Corporation Duneden. Florida.
I was responsible for the conceptual and detailed design of two prototype control rod drive mechanism.s for a low enriched, gas-cooled nuciear power reattor, as well as a test stand to test a high temperature, high pressure gas manifold assectiy. A patent application was submitted on the method I developed to decelerate a control rod.
From Septemb'er 1961 to October 1963. I was employed by the Atomics Division, Nuclear Space Group of American Machine and Foundry Company, Greenwich, Conn., where I developed a renote handling system used in the maintenance and disassenbly of the radioactive Nerva engine as well.as assisting in other nuclear space proposals.
From October 1963 to April 1966, I was employed as a Senior Engineering Specialist by the Nuclear Livision of Martin Marietta Company, Ir.c.
During this time, I was responsible for the design and development of remotely. operater. handling equipment required in processing highly radioactive heat sources, the manufacturing tooling required in the manufacture of thermo-electric devices, and the manufacturing tooling utilized for the fabrication of the fuel elements and control rods for the MH-IA, a floating nuclear. power plant built by the Department of the Anny.

From May 1966 to the present I have been employed by the U.S.
Atomic Energy Conmission and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
During the first two years I was in the Division of Reactor Standards where I worked on the development of standards and assisted the Division of Reactor of Licensing on 3 number of projects. For the next three years I was a project leader in one of the boiling water reacter project branches in the Division of Reactor Licensing.
In addition to working on a number of special technical assigonents I participated in the review of the Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor (SEFOR) and the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant Unit 2, a boiling water reactor.
From April 1972 to December 1975 I was assigned as a Senior Systems Engineer to the Auxiliary and Power Conversion Systens Branch of Division of Technical Review.
I was responsible for the review of the design, development and operation of auxiliary and power conversion systems of BWRs PWRs and HTGRs. I developed generic positions on specific NRC concerns such as Ultimate Heat Sinks Fuel Cask Handling, Tornado Missiles, Turbine Missiles and Fire Extinguishants.
I developed Standard Review Plans and participated in the development of industry standards on Safety Related Yalves and Emergency Onsite Diesel Generator Fuel Oils Storage and Supply Systens.
From December 1975 to the present I've been a member of the Plant Systems Branch, Division of Operating Reactors.
My duties in this branch consist of safety reviews and evaluation of systems design and 4
