DIRECT TESTIMONY OF BOBBY G.-TREECE ON ISSUES 5 AND 6 (CABLE OVERTENSIONING),

AS-LIMITED BY THE LICENSING BOARD'S ORDER OF JUNE 8, 1984

'Q-1. Please state-your name.

A-1. Bobby G. Treece. >

0-2. What is your residence address?

L A-2. My' residence-address is 807 South We-Go Trail, Mt. Prospect, Illinois 60056.

-Q-3. By whom are you employed <id in what capacity?

A-3. I am employed by Sargent & Lundy. My position is Associate and Senior Electrical Project Engineer

.for Byron and Braidwood Stations.

Q-4. Please describe your educational background.

A-4. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Arkansas in 1948.

.,n. - , - - - . - - p ,--

V .

I am. licensed-as a professional engineer in the states of Arkansas, Florida and Illinois.

-Q-5. Please describe your employment experience.

A-5.-I went to work for Ebasco Services in 1948 as a cadet engineer. In 1951, I joined Sargent & Lundy as an Electrical Engineer. In 1963, I became an Electrical Project Engineer and was promoted to Senior Electrical Project Engineer in 1968, the position which I hold c

today. During this period, I have been responsible for the engineering and design of the electrical aspects

.of. numerous power plants,-both fossil and nuclear.

In addition to Byron Station, I have performed electrical engineering work-for the Dresden, Zion and Braidwood Nuclear Stations.

Q-6.fPlease describe your duties as Senior Electrical Project Engineer ~for Byron Station.

A-6. I have principal responsibility for the electrical engineering and design for the Byron project. My duties include the division of work among the Electrical Project Engineers and Electrical Engineers assigned to the Byron project team. I supervise and review the work performed by_these engineers and provide the inter-face between the Electrical Department of Sargent &

Lundy and personnel at Commonwealth Edison with respect to Byron Station.

B .

'Q-7.JPlease describe the scope of your testimony.

-A-7..My-testimony is in response to Issues 5 and 6, relating to potential cable overtensioning, or over-

' stressing, at Byron. Station, as those issues have been. limited by the Licensing Board's Order of June 8,

'1984.. This testimony is intended to supplement the

' testimony.of James 0. Binder, of Commonwealth Edison.

Company,.which also relates to potential cable overtensioning.

Specifically,-my~ testimony will describe the analysis performed by Sargent & Lundy of all of the safety-

'related electrical cables installed in conduit at Byron Station prior to December, 1982.. The purpose of that'

~

analysis was to determine whether or not any of those cables had' been: rendered unacceptable due to overtensioning

'I will describe how:the analysis came to be'done, the

.methodologyfused'in.-performing-the analysis, the

-results ofLthe' analysis,-and the conclusions.which were drawn from it. IThe attachments to my testimony consist Lof 'various letters and an NRC Inspection Report which pertain to this matter.- I am familiar with:the contents

- of all of these attachments to the extent that they pertain to the cable overtensioning matter.

Q-8..Did Sargent &-Lundy perform an analysis of all of the safety-related electrical cables installed in conduit at Byron Station prior to ' December, 1982, to determine whether any of those cables had been rendered unacceptable due to overtensioning?

a

r- a 1

_4_

A-8. Yes.

.Q-9. Is electrical cable installed only in conduit?

A-9. No. Electrical cable may also be installed in cable trays.

Q-10. Why did the. analysis' performed by Sargent & Lundy not i

consider cable installed in cable trays?

A-10. Potential overtensioning of cable installed in trays was i-- not considered.to be a problem and thus was not included

%4 -

in the analysis performed by Sargent & Lundy because the

-majority of these cables are laid in trays by hand. The i possibility of exerting too much tension during such i cable installations is small. For the remainder of h

the pulls through trays, the contractor uses pulling guides , or sheaves, for turning the cable around bends in the tray. For-a given' pulling tension, these guides reduce the sidewall pressure experienced by a cable below that for a conduit of the same radius.

Sargent & Lundy's installation drawing addressed cable sidewall pressure by specifying minimum cable pulling guide radii.

Q-ll. Please explain why Sargent & Lundy performed.an analysis of all of the safety-related electrical cables installed in conduit at Byron Station prior to December, 1982, with respect to potential overtensioning.

A-11. As previously described in the testimony of Mr. Binder, an NRC inspection in the Spring of 1982 identified as

7

~

~5-an item of noncompliance the fact that the cable in-stallation procedure used by the electrical contractor, Hatfield Electric, did not address the requirements to calculate allowable cable pulling tensions. Common-3 wealth Edison's response to this item was to revise the cable installation procedure so as to address the subjects of concern to the NRC. In addition, Commonwealth Edison committed to take appropriate action to ensure that all safety-related cables installed prior to the implementation of the revised procedure in December, 1982, would perform

( their intended functions. This was to be accomplished by a review of cable pull reports and the performance of additional analysis by Sargent & Lundy.

Q-12. Did you review cable pull reports covering all safety-related cables pulled in conduit prior to December, 1982?

A-12. No. Cable pull reports do not exist for all such cables.

Q-13. Why do they not exist?

A-13. Originally, the electrical contractor's cable installation procedure did not require that cable pull reports be prepared for all safety-related cable installations.

Q-14. Please describe the review of cable pull reports performed by Sargent & Lundy.

A-14. Sargent & Lundy began by reviewing the available cable pull reports for cables pulled in conduit before the revised t__

ps I

cable installation procedure was implemented in i

~ December, 1982. In addition, Sargent & Lundy reviewed the cable pull reports attached to Commonwealth Edison Nonconformance Report (NCR) F-747. For each cable covered

'by a-cable. pull report, Sargent & Lundy calculated the allowable pulling tension, using criteria supplied by the cable manufacturer, and compared that tension to the tension which had been documented on the cable pull report. .This review revealed that 25 of the cable pulls-covered by the cable pull reports exceeded the allowable pulling tensions. Of these 25 cases, five

~

cable pulls exceeded the allowable pulling tension determined by tensile strength, 16 cable pulls exceeded the pulling tension determined by sidewall pressure and four' cases exceeded the allowable pulling tension determined by both tensile strength and sidewall pressure.

For these 25 cable pulls,'it was determined that additional analysis was required before it could be

. concluded whether the monitored pulling tensions were acceptable.

Q-15. How could additional analysis demonstrate that the pulling tensions recorded in the 25 cases mentioned in

-Answer 14, above, were acceptable?

A-15. The cable pulling criteria as provided to Sargent &

Lundy by each cable manufacturer are general pull

_7_

criteria. As such, then do not establish the maximum tension which the cable can withstand without damage.

The general criteria thus include a margin of con-servatism. Sargent & Lundy, using these general criteria from each manufacturer, develops composite criteria applicable to all cables installed in Byron Station.

Because these composite criteria are based upon the most stringent of the cable manufacturers' general criteria,

-they provide an additional margin of conservatism for some

' types of cables. Sargent & Lundy's analysis of the cable

. pull reports was based upon each cable manufacturer's general pull criteria. However, due to the manufacturer's

.-margin of conservatism inherent in the general pull criteria, the manufacturer can perform a specific analysis to

determine the acceptability of a particular cable pull.

Q-16. What was'done regarding the 25 cable pulls in which the

~

allowable pulling tension was exceeded?

A-16. Details of these specific cable pulls were forwarded to the cable mandfacturers by-Sargent & Lundy with a request that they perform a specific analysis of each cable pull.

< Based ' cut the cable manufacturers ' review, all 25 of these suspect cable pulls were found to be acceptable. See Attachment A (letter from Sargent & Lundy to Commonwealth Edison dated January 26, 1983) and Attachment B (letter from.Sargent & Lundy to Commonwealth Edison dated December 12, 1983).

._9_

Method 2. Sargent & Lundy determined the critical

' (nanimum) conduit length for each conduit size assuming a worst case conduit configuration and the actual installed cable configuration. If the actual length of the conduit did not exceed the calculated critical length, it was con-cluded that the cables.in that conduit had not been over-tensioned. If the actual length of the conduit run exceeded the calculated critical length, that conduit run was sub-jected to further analysis using Method 3, below.

Method 3. For the remaining conduits, Sargent &

Lundy calculated the expected pulling tension for the actual installed conduit configuration containing the actual in-stalled cable configuration. This expected pulling tension was then compared to the allowable pulling tension as determined by the manufacturer's general criteria. If the expected pulling tension (as calculated) did not exceed the allowable pulling tension, it was concluded that the cables in that cunduit had not been overtensioned. If the expected pulling tension (as calculated) exceeded the allowable pulling tension, details of the cable installation were forwarded to the manufacturer with a request that a specific analysis be performed.

Out of the approximately 2600 conduit runs analysed using the method (s) described above, only three conduits were identified for which a specific analysis by the manu-facturer was required to determine the acceptability of the cables. See Attachment C (letter from Sargent & Lundy to

y Commonwealth. Edison dated June 23, 1983). Based upon the specific analysis performed by the cable manufacturer, the cables pulled in these three conduits were determined to be acceptable. See Attachment B (letter from Sargent & Lundy to Commonwealth Edison dated December 12, 1983).

Q-19. What conclusion did Sargent'& Lundy reach regarding whether any of the safety-related cables installed in conduit at Byron Station before December, 1982, had been rendered unacceptable due to overtensioning?

A-19. Sargent & Lundy concluded that none of the safety-related cables pulled.in conduit prior to December, 1982, was unacceptable; that is, their ability to perform their intended ' functions had not been irpaired by overten-

-sioning.

Q-20. Please describe the basis for that conclusion.

'A-20. That conclusion is based upon Sargent & Lundy's analysis of the' safety-related cables installed in.approximately 2600 conduits. This analysis included cables for which cable pul1~ reports were and were not available. Most of the safety-related cables involved were determined

-to be acceptable based upon Sargent & Lundy's analysis, which indicated that the expected pulling tensions (as calculated) didinot exceed the allowable pulling tensions for these cables. For the remaining safety-m_..-

~.

_11_

related cables, although the allowable pulling tensions as_ determined by the manufacturer's general criteria had been. exceeded, a specific analysis performed by the. manufacturer demonstrated that the cables will perform:their intended functions. Thus, those cables were also found to be acceptable.

~

-Q-21. Did the NRC accept this analysis of safety-related cables pulled in conduit prior to December, 1982?

A-21. The NRC accepted this analysis in Inspection Report

~$0-454/84-27; 50-455/84-19, which is Attachment D to my testimony. -The NRC inspector concluded that there was a reasonable assurance that'the safety-related 1

cables would-perform their intended functions. See Attachment D at pages E-14 to E-15.

' In response to the NRC's findings concerning the Contractor's Cable Pulling Procedures (Byron IE Inspection Reports _ Nos.

50-454/82-05 and 50-455/82-04), Commonwealth Edison Company's (CECO) letter dated November 5, 1982, stated that cable pull reports would be reviewed to verify that the allowable sidewall pressure was not exceeded for cables installed prior to the implementation of the revised Contractor's Cable Pulling Procedures. The expected date for completion of the review was January 31, 1983. As a basis for this review, Sargent &

i *Lundy received 44 cable. pull reports (listed in Attachment A) l -- from Byron Station Construction. This summarizes the results l of Sargent & Lundy's review of these cable pull reports.

l The cable pull reports were reviewed against the Electrical Installation (EI) drawings to identify the conduit containing the referenced cables. This-identification was required to define the factors necessary to calculate the allowable sidewall Pressure pulling tension (i.e. conduits smallest bend radius) .

For 29 of the cable pull reports received, the conduit contain-ing the referenced cables was identified. These 29 cable pull reports covered 35 cable pulls for 54 safety-related cables.

l For the remaining 15 reports, the review of the electrical installation drawing did not reveal any conduit containing only the referenced cables.

[  ;

To increase the data base for this review effort, Sargent s Lundy i also used the cable pulling information included in Non-Confor-mance Report (NCR) F-747. This data covered 136 cable pulls for 159 safety-related cables. ,

This NCR had been written for cables '

pulled following the issuance of ECN's 2579 and 3015 but prior to implementation of the revised Contractor's Cable Pulling Procedures. i Sargent .& Lundy's review of the above referenced data revealed t j

that 17 of the 35 cable pulls covered by the cable pull reports, i and 8 of the 136 cable pulls covered by the NCR, potentially l exceed the allowable pulling tensions (reference Attachment B).  ;

In.these 25 cases potentially exceeding the allowable pulling ^

tension,.five cable pulls exceeded the allowable tensile strength i pulling tension, 16 cases exceeded the allowable sidewall  !

. pressure tension, and four cases exceeded both the tensile '

strength and the sidewall pressure pulling tension. Additional  ;

analysis is required before it can be determined whether the '

monitored pulling tensions are acceptable. For exa=ple, conversations with Okonite Company indicate that for certain ,, i cable configurations the .6 multiplying factor can be increased to .8. Also, for cases where the allowable sidewall pressure  !

pulling tension has been exceeded the location of the bends in the conduit can result in additional relief. A list of the 17 cable pulls and associated cables covered by the cable pull  ;

reports requiring additional analysis have been given to Mr. J. O.

Binder for his use in preparing an NCR. .

Sargent & Lundy will continue work in this area to provide calculations and/or analysis to address the safety-related cables pulled in conduit prior to the implementation of the revised '

contractor's Cable Pulling Procedures for which pull reports  ;

do not exist.

Dear Mr. Westermaier:

l Reference (a) summarized the results of an S&L review of cable pull reports obtained from Byron Station. Reference (b) summarized the L

results of an S&L analysis of safety-related cable pulls (in conduit),

l prior to the implementation of a revised pulling procedure, for which cable pull reports did not exist. As noted in Reference (b),

three of the conduits required further analysis by the cable manufacturer. Reference (c) transmitted the necessary cable pull information to the Okonite company and requested their analysis of same.

Based on Okonite Company's October 11, 1983 letter (copy attached) and subsequent discussions with Hatfield Electric Company (i.e., a r.* view of Hatfield cable pull records to determine actual direction

' of pull), we have concluded that the cable pulled in these three conduits are acceptable. The finding in this letter, together with References (a) and (b), complete the S&L review of the subject IE Inspection Reports.

Based on our findings, we recommend that you supplement your (

previous responses to the NRC as follows:-

l As discussed in Commonwealth Edison Company's (CECO) -

November 5, 1982 and January 24, 1983 letters, CECO  ;

concurs with the NRC findings relative .to the contractor's cable pulling procedurna not addressing cable side-wall- l pressure criteria. As. indicated in Ceco's November 5, 1982 l letter, revised design documents were issued (May 19, 1982) l which specified the allowable cable pulling tensions for .

cables in conduit, considering both the conductor tensile  !

strength and the cable side-wall pressure criteria. The  !

contractor's cable pulling procedures have also been revised ,

accordingly. Cable pulled in tray was not considered a j potential problem since the architect-engineer's cable ,

information drawing addressed cable side-wall pressure by  ;

specifying minimum cable pulling guide radii. In addit' ion,  !

the majority of. cable pulled in tray was hand pulled.  !

In order to verify the acceptability of cables installed  ;

prior to the' issuance of revised procedure r the architect- i engineer (a) reviewed cable pull reports, where available, }

and (b) performed generic analyses / calculations, where

() cable pull reports were not available.

l

[

t

~

The architect-engineer's review: of the cable pull reports identified several cable installations in which the

)t

, recorded pulling tension exceeded the allowable pulling ,

I tension, an determined from cable manufacturer's Leneral i pull criteria. Each of these cablu pulls was identified and a Non-Conformance Report was issued by CECO to track their resolution. The architect-engineer forwarded the  ;

details of these specific cable pulls to the cable f

, manufacturcr with a request that the manufacturer perform {

L a specific analysis to determine the acceptability of each  !

cable pull. Based on the cable manufacturers review, all l of these suspect cable pulls were found to be acceptable. l Where cable pull reports did not exist, the architect-  ;

engineer performed an analysis, utilizing one of the i following to determine (generic or specific, of the acceptability as each appropriate) calculations) cable Installation:

Dear Mr.'Clancy:

In response to your lette'r daced June i', 1)i3 pleace be adv! cd of the following as you requested. .

Attached are calculations for the cable' gull.: for the drattin.;s

, submitted by you. -Pulling froc 1JB261A'ta 3:ar in one continuous (m) length provides excessively high pullinr tencion and sidet:all

' pressures.

This is caused by the sxcessive number of offsets located in this run. The tot'al tension calculates out to 52,000 lbs.

in this direction. The coefficient. of friction actual was ;.robably

-lower than 0.35 out in any case the-allswable tension and side::all pressures were exceeded by thi wid'e marcin. These calculations appear on pages 1 and 2 of the attached shaets.

Ifccable~had been pulled'from the' gear tc ICB261A, they would have reduced the total; tension down to appro. ina'.ely 16,000 lbs. and a maximum sidewall pressure of 3726 lbs./-?t. Thece values although extremely high are well below the , pull ir One other direction. It would have been helpful if the pullin;; cerw had used a dynamometer to give us an idea what the a,: t ual t enu i; .'*. was , - but it is atauced they did not.

If the cable was pulled from lJb261A to zear it should be replaced

.because of the very high eulline tencien and sidewall pressure that would have been experienced.

Cable Pull Criteria

  • Mr. J. T. Westermeier Project Engineer ,

commonwealth Edison Company RP.O. Box 767 Chicago, IL 60690

Dear Mr. Westermeier:

This letter supplements my January 26, 1983, letter concerning an initial response to the NRC findings regarding the Contractor's Cable Pulling Procedures (Byron IE Inspection Report Mos. 50-454/

82-05 and 50-455/82-04). That letter summarized Sargent & Lundy's (S&L) review of cable pull reports obtained from Byron Station Construction. In addition to a review of cable pull reports, an

,. analysis was required to address safety-related cable pulls in conduit prior'to implementation of the revised Contractor's Cable Pulling Procedures for which pull reports did not exist. This letter summari=es the result of this additional analysis.

As .a basis for this additional analysis, S&L received a listing of '

i all safety-related cables pulled in conduit prior to December, 1982,  ;

from. Byron Station Construction. This listing identified approximatelyi l

2600 conduits requiring analysis. SsL has completed the analysis for those conduits by utilizing one of the following methods:

1. Calculations for an assumed worst case conduit i configuration containing a worst cable. configuration. r i

!. 2. Calculations for an assumed worst case conduit I i ' configuration containing the actual cable con-  !

figuration. l I i

3. Calculations for the actual conduit configuration i
containing the actual cable configuration. '

i , S&L's review identified three conduits that recuire additional l \; analysis by the cabic manufacturer. Cable pulling inforr.ation for these conduits has been foruarded to Okonite Company, by S&L lotter dated June 22, 1983, copy enclosed for their use in performing a i U

cable pulls are acceptable.

The results of this analysis.and the supporting calculations are presently being put together into an auditable format. We expect-to complete this effort by July 22, 1983.

Dear fir. Docrr:

Enclosed are copies of two skotches covering three separato cable installations at Byrca Station. Records of the tensions e::perienced

.during the cable pulls are not cvr.ilablo, cnd the acceptance cf th:co inctullations is dependent upon the accepttnce of calculated pulling tensions.

1 Thoce shotchen are being cent to you for your analysis and coraent, becauce our preliminary calculations for these installations indicate that the m:ximum alleuzble pulling tencions for the installei c:.bisc) based on Okonite's cable pulling criteria, may have been exceeded.

Will you~please ' analyse these cable installations and give us your recommendation covering the disposition of the installed cablec.

If you have any cucctions about the installations shown on the sketcho=,:

please contcet us.

Yours very truly, 2 J. F. Clancy ,,

Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No. 50 ~54 Docket No. 53-:55 As a result of the inspection conducted on April 24-27, April 30-Maj 4, ar:

May 10 and 11, 19E4, and in actor:ance with the General Policy are Preced.res for NRC Enforce ent Actions, (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), the follo-ing violatices were identifie :

1.

10 CFR 50, Ap;erdix B, Criterion V, as imple ented by Co- :n-ealth E:'ste Cer a y Tcpical Re;crt (CE 1-A), Section 5, re:. ires that acti.ities af fecting cuality be prescrite: by Oc:u ented instructi:ns or Dr:ce: *es.

Cort *ary to the above, the licensee failed to assure that the rec iee-ments of S&L Dra-ing 6E-0-3237 B, February 1953 Revision, Ncte 47, ae e translated into instructions or pectedares. Note 47 re; sires the e!e:-

A :itional details are ciscusse: in Parag-aph 2.c of Ins e:ti:n Re: Ort 454/E4-27; 455/E4-19(:E).

This is a Severitj Le,el w' violatien (5c;:le ent II).

2. 10 CFR 50, Ap:encix B, Criterion X'!I, as i ple ente: by C - On-ealtn Ecis:n C: cany Topical Rep rt (CE 1-A), Section 16, reasires that measu*es be established to assure that conditions adverse to cuality se:n as nonconformances are proeptly identified and corre:ted.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to assure that nonconforming cable tray hargers were identified and corrected. This it exe alifie:

by the fact that as a result of this NRC inspection, 345 previously accepted cable tray hangers were reinspected and 119 were found defecti.e and 19 were indeterminate because they were inaccessible for reins;ection.

A contributing factor to this item is that Ceco Quality Assurance failed to determine the effectiveness of the electrical contra: tor's cable traj hanger reinspection program (Reference - HECo NCR 407R). Additional details are discussed in Paragraph 2.c of Inspection Report 454/S4-27; 455/84-19(DE).

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II).

From the above information, it would appear that an addition ten butt splices were rejected and repaired during the repair of the 17 refe:ted by CECO QA. Utilizing this latest information, it would appear that the reject rate 27/194 is 13.9%. During interviews with the Ceco and HECo personnel involv:d in this reinspection effort, the inspectors were informed that the largest number of rejected butt splices were because the conductor (copper) was not visible at the connector crimp. The inspectors also performed a general review of the 646 CITRs identified by the licensee that doucmented butt splices. It was observed that a large percentage of these splices were associated with the terminaticr. of 13 D-17
