SUBJECT:
TRIP TO OMEGA POINT LABORATORIES, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, REGARDING THERMO-LAG FIRE BARRIER TEST PROGRAM, COMANCHE PEAK UNIT 2 As a result of an invitation by Texas Utilities (TU) Electric Company by letter dated May I,1992, Malcolm Widmann and Steven West visited Omega Point Laboratories Incorporated (OPL), San Antonio, Texas, on May 6 through May 8, 1992. The purpose of the visit was to observe the construction of Therno-Lag fire barrier test specimens to be tested by TU Electric against 1-hour fire endurance criteria. Our trip report is enclosed.
During our visit we identified concerns to Mr. Calvin Banning, TU Electric's Project Manager for the fire test program, and Mr. Deggary Priest, President of Omega Point Laboratories (OPL), regarding the construction of the fire test specimens. Comparisons were also made to previous Thermo-Lag fire endurance tests. A staff Special Review Team for the Evaluation of Thermo-Lag Fire Barrier Performance identified deficiencies in these previous tests.
