GENERAL AToMC COMPANY PO. BOX 6*CO8 SAN DIEGO. CALIFORNIA 92138 (714) 457 3000 May 15, 1981 Mr. Victst Stello, Director Office of Inspection and Enforcement U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C.
20555 Ref. 1:
IEEE Standard 323-1974, " Standard for Qualifying Class lE Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations", Appendix A
Dear Mr. Stello:
This is the written report, submitted in compliance with 10CFR21, of an apparent defect reported to your Region V Office by telephone on May 12, 1981. The defect is in instrument cable furnished by General Atomic Company to a number of customers.
The following items of the report are arranged in the order listed in Part 21:
1.
Information reported by:
Corwin L. Rickard, Executive Vice-President General Atomic Company P. O. Box 81608 San Diego, CA 92138 2.
The basic component is Rockbestos cable, catalog number RSS-6-104, 3.
The firm manufacturing the possibly defective material is:
Rockbestos Corporation j
285 Nicall Street i
New Haven, CT 06504 4.
The nature of the defect is:
Instrument cable used in 1E, safety-related installations appears to not meet manufacturer's certification at IEEE temperature recommendations (Reference 1).
Cable is coaxial cable used in acquisition of ion chamber signal and speci-l fied as Rockbestos RSS-6-104.
Certified cab.
was purchased from Rockbestos Corporation by General Atomic Company and transhipped in unterminated quantities to purchasers listed sto6oo91f
To:
Mr. Victor Stello May 15, 1981 in attachment. General Atomic is not in a position to assess the safety impact on individual operating plancs since the environmental conditions under which the cable is used will differ markedly. Each user should evaluate his specific installation and c~a'uate the safety aspect with respect to J license and/or PSAR and whether BWR or PWR criteria apply.
5.
The date on which I was informed of the possible defect was May 12, 1981.
6.
The attachment lists the customers to which the potentially defective cable has been sent.
7.
Corrective action taken has been to inform cable manufacturer of apparent defect and notify recipients of General Atomic shipments of the action taken. Corrective action time will vary dependi:.g on use factor by specific users and may entail replacement of cables determined to be defective.
8.
Advice to purchasers or licensees is to assess their particular use and determine how the defect cculd affect their plant safety.
General Atomic evaluation of one lot only indicates that cables will survive 300'F (versus 340'F from Reference 1, which was the manufacturer's specification), which is the typical design basis event condition for PWRs.
I would be pleased to provide any at, tional available information re-quired. Please contact Mr. Colin R} Fisher, (714)455-4492, for that purpose.
Very truly yours l
