3.
Findings (Closed) Unresolved Item (Inspection Report No. 79-01):
The inspector verified that Note No. 8 of the Contingent Purchase Order Release had been modified to read:
" Single and/or multi-conductor cable lengths will not be joined to obtain shipping cable length requirements except in accordance with Bridgeport Manufacturing Instruction #13, Section 7-0."
4
-6her Related Findings The Franklin Research Center's letter of February 27, 1980, a.
indicated that two of the five specimen failed to maintain the electrical load during the 33-day exposure to the quali-fication test environment.
This failure is attributed to probable faulty vessel penetrations.
I b.
Power cable (600 volts) with vulkene supreme insulation will be supplied to Bechtel/ Southern California Edison Company for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Stations, Unit Nos. 2 and 3.
The change of insulation material is identified in Contingent Purchase Order Release No. 304-11-024 and Supplier Deviation Disposition Request (SDDR) No. 2053. Bechtel has approved the SDDR and_is scheduled to issue Memorandum of Change No. 19 to
-Purchase Order No. D4103051.
Qualification testing had been successfully accomplished on lengths of cable insulated with the
.vulkene supreme material. The test specimens were constructed with brazed joints and patched insulation.
