This last time (inaudible).
j 9
BOCKNOLD:
Not this last time.
This is what we actually 10 have in on the diesel (inaudible).
11 MALE VOICE:
Now.
l 12 BOCENOLD:
Now.
What we did on that one switch in the 12 lab we did some with the I&C folks.
i j
14 MALE VOICE:
- Yeah, Dut, what I'm saying is the 15 arrangement that we had yesterday in the oil bath was a difforent 16 arrangement than we had the other day.
Oil bath is oil bath and I 17 should state that RTD is RTD.
But I think what you need to do is 13 lock in and say "this is the way we are going to do it and this ist 19 the equipment we are going to use."
20 BOCKHOLD:
I agree with you.
The problem is we have 21 different types of people doing different types of tests and.
22 and... their perception of the correct test methodology of what 23 they are used to and what their experience is is ditforent.
And we 24 have been doing a lot of this in parallel to bring the engines to 25 an operable state.
And now we have these quarantine switches that 26 we want to go ahead and do a very rigorous.
. all of us want to 27 do a very rigorous test methodology.
And we can't do it with the NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Docket No. 50-424/425-OLA-3 EXHIBITNO.I - lb I in the matter of Georaia Power Co. et al. Voatie Units 1 & 2

Well, we can but l

(Inaudible.)

McCOY:
Imt me go back.
j 4
BOCKHOLD: And that's the organization I need to talk you 1
j 5
about.
i.
6 McCOY Let me go back and get this thing in.
One of the 1
i 7
itees that we have already done is that is revise the s
8 calibration procedures.
Wasn't that what
?
For these 1
l 9
switches?
i 10 DOCKHOLD: These switches that are on the engines they've 11 had close supervision of cooper engineers while they were
{
i 1
12 calibrated.
i 13 McCOY:
Been revised and --
l 14 BOCKHOLD:
No, we did not revise our procedures.
Me i
15 basically did it in a very consistent fashion and part of this l
16 overall thing is we will revise.
l 17 McCQY:
We will revise.
l la BOCKHOLD:
Will revise the final procedure that we use.
i l
19 Because there is some controversy over whether the way the cooper i
20 people did it is the best way or is there a better way.
And we
?
l 21 believe there is even a better way than the way Cooper people had 22 us do it.
The way Cooper people had us do it was very consistent.
23 The thing that was inconsistent was how much air do you 24 (inaudible) upon the switch when you tap it lightly.
But, the 25 Cooper people did it the way they would do it if they were j
26 calibrating those switches for this engine and any other engine.
27 We had our IEC shop originally calibrate these switches without l
I
t it J
i i
giving that piece to Cooper.
Okay.
Cooper were the people that
]
2 physically tore it down and put back and supplied the technical j
3 experties.
But Cooper watched the calibration of switch in the 4
plant.
Basically, when those switches were calibrated the Cooper i
5 people closely supervised the technicians that we'ce deing it, and 6
it was done very consistently.
And very consistently mocording to I
7 the way Cooper does their calibrating.
It was signed off in
~
]
s accordance with our standard procedure. And our standard procedure i
j j
9 basically says raise and lower the temperature three times and
~
10 verify it at (inaudible) which responds correctly.
I j
11 He have a special procedure on how to calibrate these 1
l 12 things, how fast to raise and lower the temperature, that kind of f
13 stuff.
l 14 McCOY That ought to address the issue of (inaudible).
15 BOCKNOLD:
Yeah, that's really a long[er?] term action.
I l
16 We believe we've got good switches in the plant now.
They were l
l 17 done consistently the way Cooper engineers say that's the way they l
18 should be done.
l 19 MALE VOICE:
These things a couple days ago, you know, 20 before the (inaudible) these were two jacket waters.
Did they f
21 supervise that?
l 22 BOCKHOLD:
Yes.
Since the event all of the testing and j
23 changeout was supervised by Cooper people.
