Dear Marge:
SUBJECT:
In the Matter of Application of Texas Utilities Generating Company, et al. for An Operating License for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Units #1 and #2 (CPSES)
CASE's Supplementary Answers to NRC Staff's 2/22/82 Fourth Set of Interrogatories to Intervenor CASE, Question C5-6 We'll be supplementing our answers to the Staff's interrogatories along as we narrow down the specific issues and documents we will be addressing in the upcoming hearings. We wanted to get the following information to you right away, because of its potential significance, and we're therefore supplemegting our answer to Question C5-6 of your Fourth Set to CASE.
We'll be relying in the hearings on the following, which we expect to be able to supply authenticated copies of soon; but we are in the meantime attaching a copy of the final revision of it (Revision 3):
Brown & Root NCR (Nonconformance Report) C650R3, which states in part:
"As the fonns and decking were removed from the 812' mat placement in Containment No.1 (pour 101-2812-001 and 002), B&R QC found a vertical crack that extended completely through the seven (7) foot thick mat near the center of its midspan across the cavity., The crack extended horizontally to the cavity liner along a line between 90u and 270" azimuth."
(Emphases added.)
We have now received confinnation from Applicants (see Applicants' 5/17/82 Answers to CASE's Eleventh Set of Interrogatories, Question 106) that this crack in the base mat of Containment No. I was not reported to the NRC. Further, as indicated in Applicants' answers, they were unable to tell us the length of the crack, and the drawing which Applicants provided us with was a rough drawing done for us by them at the time we were inspecting documents, since they stated there was no drawing of the crack done at the time it was discovered.
The rough drawing provided us was,.
according to what we wen 2 told, based on the best infonnation they had in their records but was not binding on them. We're attaching a copy of it, nonetheless, for whatever benefit it may be to you. The cracks were shown on the copy provided us in red; since this showed up black on the copy we're attaching for you, we've highlighted the cracks for you.

r We're in the process of analyzing the documents concerning" this, including the concrete pour packages with which we have been provided.
We will also be pursuing the QA/QC aspect of the overexcavation (or rock overbreak) insofar as it mlates to Contention 5, especially regarding Applicants' apparent lack of analysis as to whether or not the overexcavation may have helped cause the crack in the base mat. We have requested copies of some slides from Applicants (the same ones which they pmvided Dick Pouke mgarding Contention 7 as well as others), many of which bear little resemblance to those pictures cor.tained in the FS AR.
As indicated in FSAR 2.5.4.5, "All other facture maps and photographs ace part of the pennanent construction records which are available for review from Texas Utilities Services Inc." and these are apparently some of those photographs.
As Applicants have indicated in their Answers to Questions 101-105 to our Eleventh Set, we will apparently have to file a Motion to Compel in order to get our questions about this matter answered. We will be getting in touch with Applicants prior 1to filing our motion in accordance with the Board's directives, however.
We weren't sure whether you would want to get copies of the documents we have re-ceived in this regard from us or if you would prefer to contact Applicants direct about them.
In any event, we will make them available for inspection and copying a t you r reques t.
Please give me a call if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely, CASE (CITIZENS ASSOCIATION FOR SOUND ENERGY)
