A The plans of :onsumers in the exploration program 6 that was to begin. I think, on the 25th of March. 7 Q Exploration program is what we've been ref erring 3 to as the Bering program? 9 A That is correct. 13 Q Mould you also identify the third and fourth pages 11 of Exhibit 237 The third page is dated 3/20/81, marked one I2 of onet and the fourth page is dated 3/23/81, marked one of 13 one. an 1 V 14 A The single paper dated 3/20/81 was a prior i f5 conference call with Consumers, with in' ividuals in the call d is noted above, on the same sub.loct, the e$ploration program. 17 This was a call prior to the call of March 24th.

Q3 506 .~ ' :,sSMH I Q Does Exhibit 23. then, represent your recordation 2 of what the exploration program by Consumers is intended to 3 M7 4 A Ye s. 5 Q Are there any portions of the progras or any 6 approach taken ey the exploration program with which you do 7 not agree? c A There is one additional document that you nave, 9 which records a conversation between myself Mari Singh, and 10 William Otto. which discusses the probles with not doing SPT j 11 borings of this program. It also states the conclusion with 12 regard to our concern for not doing the SPTs on that sheet. j 13 The conclusion is it is recognized that the program that 14 you are undertaking in areas will be more than what we have 15 requested, and will go further than what we have requested. 4 16 The one area where no SPTs are being taten, it is not quite 17 clear whether the SPTs would have given us a seasure of in 14 situ properties better than under undisturbst and there I am 19 referring to the proDies wie have of taking undisturbed ] 20 saeples in cohesionless estarials and the advantage of the 21 SPT in that regard is it is a measure of the penstration 22 resistance which can give us known information on the i t &ce 9M aRapevreu.

I have no other problems. I have asked to have a i better record than that telephone conversation for a copy of 9 your contract. 7 Q dhen you talked about areas of concern, using the 10 undistures rather than the SPTs, were you talking about il particular areas of the plant.or staply areas where there 12 may be cohesionless soil? I' A Strictly with regards to areas where there is b 14 cohesionless soils. 15 Q There was no particular area of the plant site 16 that you had in sind? 17 A That is correct.

~ l l !76a8 01 05 508 l ! [ es9WH I BY MR. ZAMARIN: i l 2 Q Can you tell as what that is? 3 (Handing documbnt to witness.) 4 THE NITNESS: The document you have indicated as 5 Exhibit 24 is actually two parts. One part is a handwri: ten j 6 summary by Tony Cappucci on a January 20 1981 meeting with 7 Consumers with regard to the settlement of category I c underground piping. I was provided a copy of Tony 9 Cappucci's notes' and I responded by writing the first page 10 of Exhibit 24, which is my handwritten notes in response to 11 Mr. Cappucci's summary of that meeting. I 12 SY G. ZAMARIN: 13 Q Nith regard to the borings that are being or'are .s e la to be taken in the dike, pursuant to the exploration program _e 15 that we have been talking about, in the event that those 16 borings show no problem with dike stabtlity, will that 17 satisfy the concerns of the NRC with regard to the dike? 13 A I can only answer for myself.' I cannot answer for 19 the entire NRC. If the borings show the fill has been placed proper $y and has soil properties equal to or cetter a j 21 than what was used in the design, as far as I as concerned-3 22 it will resolve my concerns of the past with the dike. 1 i P t MM 7M 4:MepcTterd.

i 1 164a OI C6 509 e os3NH I Q As f ar as you know..ould that also resolve any 2 concerns or satisfy any a sncerns that the corps had with the 3 dike? 4 A I would say the same thing would be true. 5 Q Do you knew of anyone else within the NEC who wculd have any different opinion? 7 A The borings presently are entirely around the 3 ultimate heat sink. Whether in consideration oi' 9 environmental needs other issues were raised with the other 10 portion of the dike. I cannot address. 11 3 So f ar as you know, within the context of the 12 issues in this metter. there is no one else who would have 13 any contrary opinion to yours with regard to the dike and 14 what the borings should shows is that right? 15 A As far as I know at this time. I as not hedging. t$ 3 I understand. 17 A Rhat I as attempting to do is there is an issue of 13 das safety which the NRC is involved with. Whether unde r 19 the requirements of federal das guidelines or das safety it 20 Decomes an issue in the future. I derr#t know. 21 0 I have here a draf t, a letter marked 'draf t.' It 22 indicates J.

IL:Callister, Chief of the Engineering 4 Division. i The last paragraph of this letter, it statess 'It is our 6 understanding that the.8/lO Kips has been obtained by 7 deducting stage 5 load on 16 January, 1980 (2.2 Kips) from 3 stage 5 load on 31 December,1981 &3.0 Kips). Table 4-la. i 9 However, from the heading of e-la it is clear that this 10 table pertains to building load only, "theretare loads sheun at various stages sust. be the dead load of the building load 12 only. The applicant should clarify this discrepancy.* l 13 Can you look at that and explain to se just what the .o 14 problem there is that McCallister is attempting to convey? i 15 (Handing document to witness.) lo TIE WITNESS: I would like to.stndicate that the 17 Army is your army and my army, the U.S. Army. 18 BY MR. ZAMARINs 19 Q All right. I Z) A 14r. McCallister has not signed this. This is also 21 a craft, so this is directly from Hari Singh.

As far as I know, there are two

Is that too general a 6 question? 7 A I think I can answer what you are asking. I had problems in reviewing the data, with trying to understand c 9 . the differe.it instruments at differerst elevations at IO different locations, and so I attempted to sumoarize those and see if foundation zones settle more than others. Also I 12 was puzzled by the amount of rebound that was indicated in 13 some of the devices. I was trying to understand what would 14 have caused that. 15 I think my sumoary has answered those ques.tions. IS Q In arriving at those answers.dare you satisfied ~ 17 with the surcharge program as having consolidated the soil 18 beneath the diesel generator building to a point of 19 secondary consolidation? 23 A Not entirely. There are rebound measurements in 21 some instruments which are not realistic, in my opinion. I 22 think it is because of the way the settlement was i C K 4 WP&GesetBG99AB, S4 M M 8894300 ene,te 6 Sevemmes i ~ ~~

conducted during the period when the full surcharge was 2 imposed, that period. And because of that. it raises 3 questions about the accu acy of your survey data. 4 What it doe,s is it reinforces my understanding that doing 5 the additional borings and laboratory testing will help a resolve any questions I do have. i Q With the resolution of some questions at which you arrived as a result of your settlement marker survey, were 9 you able to or did you. In f act, resolve some questions chat 13 indicated that the surcharge program had not achieved il secondary consolidation in the soil beneath the diesel j 12 generator building? 13 A I was not able to conclude that it had not. One 7 e 14 thing looking closely at the data has pointed out that the 15 only settlement markers that we have been given data for 16 continuously was the DG-series, which w0nt up to. I think. !7 FE. 9/.30, whereas all of the other instruments, the i J IS anchors settlement plates, extended only tip to the time of 19 surcharge rebuttal. 20 I think I have indicated in my review of amendment.5 21 that we are asking for that data to be - me are 22 particularly interested to look at the settlement resulting } 1 ./ c4cr. 7eM c8dportata, 8es, =ee,= saamm, e nese ..emimevem. ea samme een ano. esse eneftemunes tegeneau i _____,_2___-_-_.

No, are particularly l 2 interested in looking at the settlement that occurred since 3 you have loaded the pedettels with the diesel generators. 1 4 There is also one other ites which is not reflected in 6 that. In Dr. Gould's deposition we were handed a document 6 that showed settlements significantly larger than any of the 7 data that has been recorded there. They are indicated to be 8 PD, which I understand are pedestal earters, and the 9 eagnitude of those settlements are e lot larger than i 10 anything I have seen.

I don't consider tnat the area of 2 review of geotechnical engineeering, and 'Jr. Singh has 3 indicated that this is somgthing that should os followed up 4 sy the aopropriate section of NRC. 5 3 'dechanical or structural? 6 A Structural. 7 Q You don't have any iraression as you sit here now? 3 A No. 9 (Pause.) 13 3 I note that on page 12 of this 'draf t Corps report.

"We 13 concur.' dero you ref erring to the Corps of Engineers? 14 A Yes. 15 3 ade concur with the remaining portions of the 1$ Applicant response to Question 45-1-F.

Mr. Singh states, he is ref erring 12 to the full-scale recharge test that will be done maybe i 13 so=eday, that if the test indicates more than 90 days 14 f echar e time to reach elevation SlQ, the dewatering system 15 will ne acceptacle. In your opinion, is there some time 16 period less tnan 70 days that would also be acceptable? 17 A It is my understanding that 90' days are coming 13 accut cecause that is your estimate of the time. I don't 17 think tnere is anything sagic aoout the 90 days. There is a 23 time limit which I thich would oecome critical.

the reactor? I l' 2 A Yes. 3 3 As long as it was greater than the time in which a 4 cold anutdown of the reactor could be aff ected it nould be 5 su fficient? 6 A or whatever measures were necessary in addition to 7 shutting the ;:lant down. 3 3 Necessary to do what? Shut the piant down. In 9 other words, you are talking aoout if they were going to go 13 out and run some tests or try to cut some cackup wells in il service first you would add that on to the time, if you were 12 going to do that before you go into shutdown? 13 A I am not clear in my own sind. Shutting the 14 piant down is one operation, but maintaining it in shutdown 15 position is another. If there is something that I cannot 16 think of now which is being affected by the dewatering that 17 has to remain operable for a long period' of time other than 13 Just the period to shut it down, then that may be affected. 19 WR.
