Prof. Christensen, you recall, I take it, 8
on May 8th and 9th, I took your deposition out in e
Calif o r nia.

Yes.
11 Q
fou and I discussed certain componarts in 12 the Tr ansaserica Delaval engines at Shoreham.
Ycu 13 recall those discussions, generally?
14 A
Yes.
Generally.

I can't recall now, sir, exactly what we is had discussed then.

I will ask you this question. 1cu had 2
indica ted to me a t the outset cf the deposition, that 3
deposi tion, at the start, that you were looking at a 4
.nunter of components.
I believe you read over a list of 5
the so -called 16 comperents, and you had indicated tc me e
that y cu were goins to to icoking at mest, if no t all, 7
of those cosponents.
3 I will go throuch some of the components e
and see if I can get any conclusions or opinions that to you have come to with regned to some of the.
Sir, do you have an intention te exerine 11 l
12 connec ting rods and/or connecting rod bea ring s ?
13 A
Yes.
34 g
We will take connecting rods themselves, it first, please, sir.
Have you had an coportueity tc fers acy to tr praliminary opinion as to the reliability of the te connec ting toda in the Shoreham EDC'st 19 A
Yes, my preliminary opinion was that th e area a rcund the bottom end roaring was weak in certain 30 21 a r e as.
Particularly, this is to in tne area et 22 ALOgntoN#8 oM11NGCowANt,1NC

1 earlie r, which were taken f rom a list of 16, I believe.
2 The five things that I was sont interested in were what 3
I would call critical high criority areans Crankshaft, 4
connec ting rod and connecting rod bearings, the pistens, 5
cylind er heads, cylinder block.
6 I think that makes up the five.
7 Q
Do you have, sir, an order of priority 8
among these five components?
Co you treat them as cf 9
equal significance ?
10 A
Well, no, obviously to me, if there is 11 any f a ilure of the crankshaf t, the whole engine in If there is a failure of a cylinder cover, only 12 gone.
13 part of it is gone.
I would fix my priorities in that area.
14 15 If a cylinder cover cracks, you ray lose the entire is engine f rom a hydraulic lock situation in startino.
17 You have buckled th,# shaft, bent rain 18 bearings and you have a disaster en your hands.
19 Q
If we can talk abcut the cylinder heads a
f or a second, you are aware, are you not, that LIICC Ha n instituted a barring over procedure, with regard to 21 22 a tt emp ting to detect water in the cylinders or the TCI?
notnow acreene counnuse m
ggy
66 o
1 A
Yes, I as aware of that.
3 Q
You have an cpinion as to whether that 3
proced ute will enable IILCC to detect water in the 4
cylint e r ?
8 NR. MILLIR to you have a copy of the 6
barring procedure that you are referrino to?
7 HR. STRCUPEs No.
8 RR. MILLERS You are asking the witness 9
f rom sescry to discuss the precedure with ycu?
10 HR. STRCUFra Yes.
The record should reflect in the witness' depcsition tak en in July of 11 12 1983, he discussed it in f airly such detail, with the is person deposing him at that time.
I believe he has a copy cf that 14 18 procedure, or he had a copy of that procedure at a time.
RR. IILLERs No reason te dispute that.
te 17 I would point out that was July of 1973.
This is almost te June o f 1984 I as not sure if the witness har even It N
seen t he precedure since last ausser.
If you wish to question about the 31 as procedure, why not show his a copy of it.

ER. STRCUPE:
I don't have a ccpy.
Mr.
2 Dynner spent many pertiens cf days this week and last 3
asking the witness, witnesses, about varicus things cf 4
w hich he didn't furnish ccpies.
5 I would like an an swer tc th e questic n.
6 I will try hard to ask the kinds of 7
questions that don't require the witness te give a 8
specific detail, any specific details of these things.
9 I an asking for a general recollection.
10 If he doesn 't know, he can tell me.
11 Q
Are you aware of the LILCO barring over 12 proced ure ?
13 A
I am aware of the procedure, yes.
14 C
Do you know whether it calls f or barring 15 over within a certain period of time, after the engine I
16 has been in operation?
17 A
Yes.
If I remember ccrrectly, I think 18 that there were periods of four hours, or maybe a le sse r 19 period, but a time period, time periods af ter running of 20 the en gine, in which they would bar over, and after th e 21 comple tion of that period, they would net proceed ever 22 with t he barring over procedure.
W ALDERSoN REPORTING COMPANY,INC.
68 s
s 1
I did, at the time that I lecke'd at that, 2
consid er that rather dangercus frcm the point cf view of 3
the history of the failures of the cylinder covers.
4 If a leak develcped at some period 5
subseq uent to the final barring over, then the engine 6
could start, and we would have a possibility of the 7
hydraulic lock situaticn.
8 The next thing on that was, if you have a 9
hyd raulic leck situaticn, ycu have a disaster on ycur 10 hands.
11 Q
Not to interrupt you, but I would like to 12 ask yo u about the disastrous results that could happen, 13 that you ref erred to.
14 Is it likely, Prof. Christensen, that if 15 the lac t barring over of the TDI diesel generators 16 o ccurs 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the engine has been run, that a 17 cr a ck or indication, whatever, can thereaf ter leak w ate r 18 into the cylinder, if nc water is detected at the l
19 12-hou r mark ?
l MR. MILLER Is it likely that would 20 i
21 happen ?
22 MR. STRCUPEa Yes.

= s 1-ER. EILITR:
Wculd you define that, 2
lik ely.
3 ER. STRCUPE:
That is a 4
g en era lly-accep ted term.
5 C
Do you understand "likely"?
6 A
Not here, and I don't want to split 7
h airs, but when you say "not likely," I don 't know 8
whether you gave me a negation of likely or not, first.
9 Q
Is it probable that that can occur?
10 A
There,is always probability; yes, I think 11 so.
12 C
Ycu are saying it is pretable rather than 13 possib le ?
14 A
Well, we are in a very, very awkward ar e a 15 of def inition h ere.
16 Are we speaking of probability in the I
17 full s tatistical term, where I would have tc gc back an d 18 ref ere nce the definiticn for the term?
19 Q
I am generally using that in the sense l
20 that it is more likely to happen than not, sir.
21 A
I am going to say with the history we l
22 have of the cylinder ccvers, one could consider there 1
l l
ALDERSoN REPORTING COMPANY,INC.
7C O
1 was ev ery possibility it might happen.
I don't know if 2
tha t s atisfies you.
3 0
Can you tell me how you would have er 4
could have a leak that would not be detected within the 5
12-hou r period, that cculd thereafter result in wate:
6 entering into the cylinder?
7 A
From the fact that I de believe, frcr 8
lookin g at the design of the cylinder cover, tha t a 9
cra ck, if it ecmmences, would most likely commence from 10 the in side a nd move outwards.
That is from the coci 11 side o f the fire deck to the lever side of the fire deck.
I think that would be the direction cf 12 13 propag ation of a crack.
l 14 Now, if you had corrosion within that 15 cracke d area, then there vculd be--it would be possible 16 for a crack to continue growing after the 12-hour pe riod 17 of shu tdown, and then f cr a leak to occur.
Yes, it is l
l 18 p os sib le.
When I say that, pcssible, within the 1
19 2) realms of probability, with the case histcry th e y had, l
l 21 they h ave had on these heads.

Would it not be more likely if that is l

going te happen, it would happen within the 12-hour 2
pe r iod, immediately after the running cf the engine?
3 A
Not necessarily so, no.
4 0
Why is that?
5 A
Well, I can give you cases of one ship, 6
one class of ship, where we were running around with 7
cracke d pistons f or quite a fe w years, and we didn't 8
know it, mainly because the crack had been sealed by the 9
chemic al additives we have been using in the cooling 10 water.
As the crack develcped, th e le a ka c e was 11 12 sealed off from the build-up of the chemical within the 13 cr a ck.
14 Th a t exacerbated the crack grcwth te an 15 extent.
Then, due te some problems that were L
16 I
17 arising in another area with this cooling t rea tm en t, we i
l 18 change d the additive we were using from a chemical l
I 19 additive to a scluable oil.
l 20 Then we discovered, right rhrough this 21 cla ss cf ship, with this class cf engines, that we had 22 cracked pistons in every engine.
ALDERSON REPORTING COMPANY,INC.
72 1
So, there are se many things which can t
2 occur which will b ring the crack to light and allow i
3 w at er to leak into the cylinder head 1cng after you 4
decide d that that was a safe period to end barring.
5 I don't think there is a safe period to 6
end ba rring if there is a dcubt, any dcubt, ab o u't ccvers.
7 0
How long would it be your recommenda tion i
8 that t his barring over period or procedure go on with 9
the TD I engine?
10 A
It is difficult to put a time on things 11 lik e this.
Here, in a case,,in these surrcundings, cne 12 can only generalize.
13 I think, if there is any doubt about a 14 cylind er cover, that the barring over procedure shccid 15 not st cp at all.
Of course, the answer to the problem 16 is to get a cover that is reliable, that we kncv is 17 reliable and has stood the test of time.
18 Then we may dispense with the barring 19 over p rocedure entirely.
20 0
Do you know whether tha NBC has recently 21 issued guidelines which indicate that barring over proced ure f or nuclear service EDG's shculd take place at 22 ALDERSoN REPORTING COMPANY,INC.

T 73 L
e 1
the sa me levels th at LILCO barring over procedure is 2
design ed to do?
3 A
I wculdn't know what they had issued 4
recent ly, no.
5 C
This corrosion that you described as 6
affecting crack propagation, that could only occur if 7
the crack or indication occurs on the waterside of the 8
head?
9 Isn ' t that true?
10 A
I am mainly thinking of it in this a r ea ',
l 11 yes.
I am not going to say that a crack couldn't 12 propag ate f rom the other side.
I think I can see mechanisms whereby thi s 13 14 could occur, but I would have to think the~ out.
As to 15 that p ossibility.
16 C
Since we are on the subject of cylinder 17 heads, let me ask you a few more questions about that:
18 You have stated, I believe, and correct i
i 19 me if I am wrong, in your previous deposition with me, 20 that y ou very much wanted tc cbtain an isethermal cf the 21 TDI cylinder head on the Shoreham EDG's?
22 A
I said that sculd be extremely desiratie, ALDERSON REPORTING COMPANY,INC.
k iu 1
that w e have those.
2 C
I believe, did you not, th a t you 3
indica ted to me th at ' ycu didn ' t under s tan d why TCI 4
didn't have that available?
i 5
A That was the belief that I had expressed, 6
yes.
7 C
Now, you had an cpportunity, did ycu not, 8
to att end Dr. Chen 's d eposition in Washington, D.C.,
9 last w eek?
10 A
I did hear that, yes.
11 0
Did you have occasion to hear Dr. Chen's I
12 discussion regarding dcing an isothermal study of a 13 cylind er head such as the "CI heads on the Shoreham 14 en gin e s ?
15 A
I was very much surprised that he decried 16 any experimentation along these lines.
~
17 I was most s urp ris ed, and if memory 18 ser ves me correctly, I believe he said it was more er 19 less a vaste of time and a very, very cos tly process and 20 was no t cost effective in answering prehlems.
I 21 comple tely disagree with his views.
'22 C
Didn't he say that it might cost a ALDERSoN REPORTING COMPANY,INC.
6 60.Wm WASHINGTON, D.C. 20001 (202) 628-9300

~
1 millio n dollars and would take several years for a large 2
grcup cf PhD's to attempt te do?
3 A
I don't think it takes a large group cf 4
0 Isn't that what you recall his testimeny 5
to te, though, sir?
6 A
That was his testimony, bu t I recall th a t 7
t es tim o n y was, if ycu were going tc try to do this 8
m a them a tically.
What I am going to say, this is usually 9
done e xperimentally in the areas that I kncv that it has 10 been d cne.
11 Also where I know it has been done, it 12 has been done out cf scmetires problems arising in 13 a re as, and in doing research so they can draw up a set 14 of iso thermals, where they have found the answer to th e 15 proble m and have mcdified it.
16 Now, usually, the savings are so great 17 over the costs, that it is rest ccst effective.
I know 18 many e ngine builders do the se studies, both by j
19 calculation and experimental method.
l 20 C
Have you, Prcfessor Christensen, ever 21 seen a n isothermal of a cylinder head that was not 22 r elate d to a two-cycle engine?
l l

A Yes.
I have seen isethermals for 2
twc-cy cle and four-cycle engines.
3 0
Wha t f our-cycle engines can you recall isothermal of the cylinder head for?

A Fecently, I have seen some for an engine I can't recall which engine, but they' are shown in 6

Exampler of isethermals fer 8
e ngin e s.
9 I think there are isothermals of 10 f our-s troke engines shcwn in a book that I mentioned 11 earlie r, " Diesel Engines," authorized by Carl Stinson.
s I think there are some American-built 12 engine s there where isothermals are shown, if I remembe r 13 14 correctly.
15 Q
Would ycu tell me how you would attempt to do an isothermal of a TDI cylinder head?
16 l
17 A
Well, nc, I have not investigated that.
18 I am sure that there must be ways and means.
19 C
You say you are sure there are ways and l
20 means.
Why are you sure there must be ways and means?
21 A
Well, one of the things which happens with the TDI engine cylinder head, there are weaknesses 22 I

in tha t head which mak e them go to the extentJof velding s
i 2
on th e ccvers which cover the ccre holds er the cere 3
f asten ings, whereas in many, many other engines that is 4
a belted ccverplate which can te removed.
5 If you are going to weld on coverplates, 6
you wo uld intreduce dif ficulties.
This comes back te 7
what I call excellence in design in the first place.
8 0
What does that have to do with ways and 9
means of doing isothermals en TEI cylinder heads?
10 A
The re have been lots of problems with the 11 cylind er heads.
No one can deny that.
12 C
That is not the question.
13 A
If there is a problem e xisting, then I 14 think it is encumbent upon the manufacturer to overccme 15 that p roblem so that he can sell a reliable engine.
16 C
I understand that.
What I am asking, 17 what ways and means that you have indicated would yc u 18 utilize to do an isothermal of the TDI cylinder head ?
19 MR. MILLER.
The witness told you he M
didn't investicate how he vculd do an isothermal of th e c
21 TDI he ad.
He told you he has seen in textbooks, Zt isothe rmals of four-stroke engines, inclu ding ALDERSoN 6EPoRTING COMPANY,INC, M W1 A 628 9300
78 o
1 A me ric a n-b uilt engines.
2 MR. STRCUPE:
He men tioned ways and 3
means.
I want to kncv what these are.
4 THE WITNESS.
Whether we start an 5
investigaticn cf this nature, I dcn't have a drawing of 6
a TDI cylinder head in f ron t of me.
7 I can't give an answer to that questiCn 8
in a f ew words in a deposition.
Th at might be a study 9
of two or three days, before I come up with an answer of i
10 how I wculd tackle that pretlem.
11 0
Would you agree that the TDI head is t
12 g eomet rically a complex component?
13 A
It is a complex component, just the same 14 as the other cylinder heads ha ve been analyzed f or their 15 iso the rm als.
Nc different from any of the cthers.
16 I don't see how a problem should exist 17 with checking out the isothermals on a IDI head any l
18 dif fer en t from any other en gine man uf acture r, who makes l
19 a head cf a similar design to TDI.
20 What is co'mmonl y called a f cur-valve i
21 in-hea d cover or head.
l 22 C
Do ycu know whether any of these i

79 1
isothe rmals that ycu have described having seen in texts 2
or publications attempted te determine the isothermals 3
of various areas within the cylinder head?
4 A
Yes.
Obviously, the main areas of 5
concern in the cylinder head are where you get changes 6
in sec tion ; where you get a high to a low heat transfer 7
rate; these are areas which would be censidered.
8 To bring things out of my head, it is 9
dif fic ult at this point in time.
In this very, very 10 comple x area, we are talking about, to bring things out wel l, as I am gcing te say and/or repeat, where this 11 12 has us ually been done, it has been done in some cases, 13 in the realm of pure research where an engine builder to know more about his engine, and in other cases, 14 w a n ts 15 in pro blem areas.
I believe I have seen in technical papers 16 17 on troubleshooting that they have investigated localize d 18 areas cf iscthermals tc get answers to problems.

Q What do you mean, " scavenging"?
2 A
The way the exhaust gasses are remcved 3
and th e way the air is brought into the cylinder.

Take a Sulzer engine.
Uculd it be ruch, 5
much less difficult to de an isothermal on the Fulze r 6
head than to do an isothermal en the TDI head?

I would say that Sulzer manufacturers 8
engine s today in which both types of head are there.
9 One with one form of scavenging, and another with 10 a n oth e r.

Whether a 13 M-type, or an earlier type than M.

I uculd like a yes or nc, and then ycu 5
can specif y or journalize.

I can't give you a yes or no answer.
It 7
has to be an answer where I have to define thing s, a nd 8
where you would have te define things to me.

There are se rany different designs of cylinde r 12 covers, that I would have to know which type of cylinde r 13 cover you talk about, to give you a complete answer.

Comparatively as -- relatively as 3
com par ed with the TDI engine.
4-But, Sul er's have prcduced isoth er r a ls 5
for their heads with f our valves in the head, where the 6
head is almost identical to the TDI engine.

head e asier to design than others.
