) QgNEi.e AFFIDAVIT OF RAYMOND F. BURSKI, JR.

The undersigned, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

My name is Raymond F. Burski, Jr. I am Engineering and Nuclear Safety Manager for Louisiana Power & Light Company. In this position I am responsible for engineering and independent review activities. A copy of my professional qualifications is attached.

On October 19, 1984 in a letter to Mr. J. M. Cain, President and Chief Executive Officer (LP&L) from Dennis M. Crutchfield, Assistant Director for Safety Assessment (NRC) , LP&L was requested to provide additional information to the NRC staff as a result of several questions raised by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board in its October 2, 1984 Memorandum and Order, ALAB-

~786. Specifically, I was requested to provide information to respond to the following NRC Staff question: " Additionally as noted on page 14 of the same document, a discrepancy exists in Harstead Report No. 8304-3. Appendix II of this report indicates Cadweld No. 2W120 is located in Pour 16, whereas, according to G

A K obb PDR

- -_ __. - __ _ _ __ __ _ m

1 Appendix I Pour 16 contains no Cadwelds. Please provide the staff with your explanation of this error and your assurance that it is not indicative of a reliability problem with data supplied to Harstead by LP&L contractors."

To respond to the NRC staff's question, a review was per-formed of the data packages utilized by Harstead in preparing P., art No. 8304-3,-specifically to identify any discrepancies in Appendices I and II, and to respond to the discrepancy noted I

by the ASLAB.

A review of the cadweld data, utilized by HEA to generate Report No. 8304-3 dated January 9, 1984, was performed, and the data for cadweld 2W120 indicates that the cadweld was a produc-

, . tion splice test from block No. 1 of the common foundation mat.

As such, Appendix I of the HEA Report is correct as there were no mechanical splices in block 16.

Additionally, a review of the data in Appendices I and II of the HEA determined of there were other errors. The following is a summary of the review:

Appendix I Sheet 5 - The date for block 14 A should be 4/23/76 not 4/23/79 l Appendix II Sheet 1 - The tensile strength for 3W119 should be 94,150 not 94,750 l Sheet 2 - The tensilo strength for 7W122 should be 95,250 not 92,250

) Sheet 2 - The date for 4W36 should be 11/13/75 not 11/12/75.

l I

I l

FE.

These errors appear to be typographical errors on the part of HEA in transposing data in the preparation of their report

~

and are not indicative of a problem with inconsistent or unre-liable data in the records packages.

In addition HEA was contacted to determine what effect, if any of the above discrepancies would have on their report. HEA indicated that the minor deficiencies noted would have no effect on the conclusion contained in their report. The overall effect of the tensile strength deficiencies would be to increase the average tensile strength on sheet 4 of Appendix II from 95,401 to 95,430.
