Items of Interest Week Ending November 13, 1992 Thermo-laa Fire Barrier Endurance Tests Members of the Plant Systems Branch witnessed Thermo-Lag 330-1 fire barrier fire endurance tests performed by Omega Point Laboratories (OPL), San Antonio, Texas, for Texas Utilities Electric Company on November 3 and 5, 1992. OPL and the licensee declared both tests successful based on satisfactory post fire inspections of the fire barriers and the cables. Temperatures taken from the conduit surfaces were indeterminate.
The first test assembly consisted of 3/4-inch, 3-inch, and 5-inch conduit specimens with lateral bends (LB0s) and radius bends. The second assembly consisted of two 3-inch conduit specimens with junction boxes. The fire barriers included a combination of vendor-recommended assembly methods and licensee-designed upgrades. Both test assemblies were exposed to 1-hour ASTM E-Il9 standard fires followed by fog nozzle hose stream tests of 5 minutes duration. Each cable's insulation resistance was checked by mega-ohmmeter before the fire exposure and immediately following the hose stream test. Following the. hose stream tests, OPL and the licensee inspected each fire barrier. Then the
- laboratory disassembled each barrier and visually inspected its component pieces. OPL and the licensee determined that neither barrier was breached in any way. There were no burn-throughs, open seams, or open joints., following the ,ost fire resistance tests, OPL removed the cables from the cenduits and inspected each cable for visual fire damage. The laboratory and the licensee concluded that .the cables were not damaged during the tests.
During the fire exposure, some temperatures taken from the conduit surfaces appeared to be inconsistent with visual observations. The temperatures were irregular and higher than expected. Post fire inspection revealed that the insulation of some of the thermocouple wires located on the surfaces of the conduits were saturated with a gummy substance that appeared to be a mixture of water and Thermo-Lag material. OPL theorized that this affected the temperature measurements. Therefore, temperatures taken from the conduit surfaces were indeterminate.
The test specimens included upgrades. Therefore, the results of these two tests do not affect NRC Bulletin 92-01 or its supplement. The licensee will be conducting additional fire endurance tests during November.
Sandia Testino of Okofie_f?Rnwalon Cables During testing conducted by Sandia National Laboratories under contract with the Instrumentation and Controls Branch, the ten Okonite ethylene propylene rubber-(EPR)/Hypalon cable samples (cable samples of other materials from two other vendors were also included in the test) did not survive the LOCA test.
Prior to the LOCA tests the cable samples had been subjected to 130 megarads NOVEMBER 13, 1992. ENCLOSURE A
1 of radiation aging and thermal aging equivalent to 40 years of plant life at 69'C. The staff is currently evaluating the Sandia test data and other available qualification type test data on these Okonite cables (0konite has performed qualification tests to the requirements of IEEE-Std-323/1974). In other similar tests conducted by Sandia for flRC Research, one out of four samples aged to a thermal life equivalent to 40 year life at 56*C failed during LOCA testing. The staff will be issuing an information notice to licensees to alert them of potential safety concerns. There is no immediate safety c, tern since other available test data indicates acceptable cable perf ormance at 50*C service life; most installed, safety-related cables do not experience continuous service life conditions above 50*C; and plants have not reached 40 years of life as simulated in the Sandia tests. Planned staff actions include evaluation of the long term safety significance of this issue.
Motor-Ourat_ed Valve Inspection at LaSalle fluclear Power Plant From flovember 2 to 6,1992, the Mechanical Engineering Branch participated in an engoing Region 111 inspection of the program being developed at the LaSalle nuclear power plant in response to Generic Letter (GL) 89-10, " Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valve Testing and Surveillance," and other motor-operated valve (MOV) activities.
During a meeting with the NRC staff in April 1992, Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO) committed to evaluate data from MOV tests performed at its facilities in response to GL 89-10. In accordance with 10 CFR Part 21, Liberty Technologies notified the flRC staff and nuclear power plant licensees in October 1992 of increased inaccuracy of its V0TES diagnostic equipment in certain instances when used to measure the thrust delivered by motor actuators in opening and closing valves. CEC 0 has completed a preliminary evaluation of the MOV test data including, where applicable, an initial effort at addressing the effect of the increased inaccuracy of the V0TES equipment. The CECO preliminary assessment indicates that the 0.3 valve factor previously assumed by CECO in its MOV sizing and switch setting calculations may underestimate the amount of thrust needed to overcome differential pressure in opening or closing many valves. Further, the preliminary assessment reveals that the -
reduct!cn in thrust output of the motor actuator caused by load sensitive behavior (rate of loading) can be significant for scme MOVs.
The licensee has conducted tosts at laSalle of several motor-operated gate and globe valves under differential pressure and flow conditions in response to GL 89-10. Using new guidelines provided by Liberty Technologies (which have been incorporated into new VOTES software), the licensee determined that, in some cases, the VOTES equipment underestimated the amount of thrust delivered by the motor actuators for tested MOVs by up to 40 percent. The licensee is evaluating several potentis) operability concerns identified using its acceptance criteria for the tested MOVs.
The inspectors identified weaknesses in the licensee's acceptance criteria for MOV test results. For example, the acceptance criteria did not include consideration of diagnostic equipment inaccuracy in evaluating certain aspects of the capability of the tested MOV. The acceptance criteria also did not {
fl0VEMBER 13, 1992 ENCLOSURE A
g 1 consider torque requirements or load sensitive behavior to ensure motor actuator apability under degraded voltage conditions.
For the specific MOVs tested at LaSalle, the licensee had set the torque switches sufficiently high to allow their motor actuators to deliver adequate i thrust to open and close the valves during the tests and, as extrapolated, ,
under design basis conditions, Nevertheless, the MOV test data indicated that r most of the tested gate valves required more thrust to overcome the differential pressure and flow effects than predicted by the licensee's calculations. In its-analysis of the test results (including the underestimation of thrust by the VOTES equipment), the licensee determined the' t valve factors for the gate valves to range up to 0.9 using the outer valve ;
disk diameter. Many of the tested MOVs showed load sensitive behavior that ,
reduced the thrust delivered by their motor actuators by as much as 23 percent-under dynamic conditions as compared to static conditions.
Region Ill will document these and other findings in an inspection report when the inspection is completed later in November 1992.
FERMI-2 On November 4,1992, the licensee commenced a reactor startup following the.
completion of the third Fermi-2 refueling outage. The outage,: originally .
scheduled for 50 days, was completed in 54 days. The reactor went critical at 11:57 PM. The project manager and backup project manager were on site and in the control room, augmenting the resident inspector coverage ~providing '
backshift support. The licensee is currently conducting a lengthy three-week' startup test program following Power Uprate modifications. Other major work completed during the outage includes reactor pressure vessel (RPV) in service.
inspection, RPV pressure test, safety relief valve replacements high .
pressure coolant injection turbine inspections, addition of an eighth condensate filter demineralizer, erosion / corrosion piping replacement, installation of the Torus hardened vent, and replacement of the 28 main unit-transformer. ,
Dresden. Units 2 and 3 On November 10,-1992, Commonwealth Edison Company-(Ceco) announced the appointment.of Michael J. Lyster (presently Vice President - Perry Nuclear Power Plant), as Site Vice President - Dresden Nuclear Station. This is the first of the newly created Site Vice President positions to be filled. CECO has' stated that an announcement regarding the other Site Vice President -
positions is expected soon.

\
On November 4, 1992, Transportation Branch staff participated in a meeting with staff from the Departments of Transportation, State, and Energy. The meeting was held to discuss requirements for sea-going vessels for transport of irradiated nuclear fuel. A draft code was developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which would require specific design charac- ,
teristics for sea-going vessels carrying irradiated fuel. The consensus of the group was that reasonable requirements are appropriate for sea-going vessels. The U.S. Coast Guard will be representing the United States in a subsequent meeting with IMO.
Nuclear Fuel Services. Inc. (NFS) - Downblendina of High-Enriched Uranium (HEU)
On November 5, 1992, staff from the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards and Region 11 met with NFS representatives. The primary focus of the meeting was to discuss NFS' October 15, 1992, submittal regarding a process for downblending HEU to low-enriched uranium for delivery to light-water reactor fuel fabricators. The submittal includes an update to the safety demonstration section of the license describing the proposed process and a supporting safety analysis consisting of an operational hazards analysis u,ing a failure modes and effects analysis technique and a probabilistic risk-assessment.
Quality Management proaram a3d Misadministrations Rule - Public Meetina ,
On November 9,1992, staff from the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards conducted a public meeting with representatives of various professional organizations in Chantilly, Virginia. Participants included 28 professional societies or associations involved in the medical- application of by-product material. The purpose of the meeting was to ensure a mutual understanding of the " Quality Management Program and Misadministrations" Rule (the Rule) and discuss effective implementation. Additionally, the American College of Nuclear Physicians (ACNP) was to present its Practice Audit Program and discuss how their voluntary audit program might fit into the implementation of the Rule required by the Nuclear Regulatory. Commission.
Other professional organizations that may be affected by the Rule were encouraged to comment regarding any self-auditing or voluntary quality assurance programs and how such programs might compare to the Rule.
4 The staff and participants also discussed the Rule language, regulatory guide,
, inspection guidance,-and proposed enforcement policy as well as ACNP's audit program. Participants commented on the meeting's-success and expressed interest in future' meetings to discuss NRC recognition of the ACNP Practice Audit Program in nuclear medicine. Additionally, participants showed strong interest in participating in future public meetings as part of the development of a management plan for the medical use program.

J Aydit of los Alamos thQonal . Laboratory astlJ During November 2-5, 1992, the quality assurance (QA) staff of the Division of High-level Waste Management (HLWM) and the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA) observed a limited QA audit of LANL performed in Los Alamos, New Mexico, by the Yucca Mountain Quality Assurance Division (YMQAD) of the Department of Energy Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (0CRWM).
This audit, YMP-93-02, evaluated the LANL QA program to determine whether it meets the OCRWM requirements and commitments. Six QA programmatic elements and four technical areas were evaluated by the YMQAD audit team.
The HLWM and CNWRA observers determined that the audit was effective and agreed with the YMQAD aud t team that inplementation of the LANL QA program was adequate in all of the QA programmatic elements that were audited. As a result of the audit, two preliminary Corrective Action Requests (CARS) were issued bv the YMQAD audit team, both in the area of software QA. The adverse conditions identified in the CARS are not significant in terms of the overall LANL QA program.
Quality Assurance iQAJ ReviSw of Site Activitiej On November 6, 1992, Division of High-level Waste Management (HLWM) On-Site Licensing Representatives reviewed and evaluated Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project activities at the Nevada Test Site pertaining to the drilling, coring and processing of core. This review was conducted at the Sample Management facility, at the LM300 drilling rig station UE-25-UZl6 and at the CME 850 drilling rig station USW-UZ-N58. The UZl6 borehole is at a depth of 980 feet and planned for a depth of approximately 1660 feet. The UZ-N58 borehole is at a depth of 10.14 feet and planned for a depth of approximately 120 feet, lhe purpose of this review was to determine the extent to which activities are being performed in compliance with approved Study Plans, Job Packages, Test Planning Packages, Verification Plans, and quality-related procedures and instructions. This review involved interactions with Reynold Electric and Engineering Company (REECo) personnel responsible for drilling operations; Raytheon Nuclear Services personnel responsible for the verification and monitoring of drilling and coring depth measurement; Sample Management f acility personnel responsible for the identification, filming, packaging, and processing of core; and Yucca Mountain Quality Assurance Division personnel responsible for the overall monitoring of site activities.
Overall, it was determined that the personnel interviewed were knowledgeable of procedural requirements as they pertained to their individual job furctions and that the activities observed were being conducted in accordance with the appropriate QA program quality-related procedures. In addition, the qualification and training records of the personnel interviewed were reviewed and it was determined that they were qualified, and trained in the appropriate procedures.

h Construction Strategy sponsored by the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (NW10B), Panel on Structural Geology and Geoengineering. The agenda included pres!ntations and discussions on the technical merits, costs, and schedules i for atrategies for earlier and less costly underground construction and testing in the ESF. Presentations were made by NWTRB members and consultants, the Department of Energy (DOE), contractors to DOC, the U.S. Geological r Survey, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia National Laboratories. The discussions included the benefits and drawbacks of different excavation methods, exploration and testing strategies, management and contracting methods, and the concept of an off-repository block testing facility at Busted - ,
Butte. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff, although not part of the agenda, i did make comments to ensure that the role of the NRC in the regulation of the !
disposal of high-level waste is not misunderstood, in addition to those mentioned above, the panel meeting was attended by representatives of the State of Nevada and affected counties, and by members of tne news media.
Transcripts of the workshop were made, and the results of the discussions are ,
to be presented in a topical report by the NWTRB and also in the report by the r board to Congress.
NRC Staff Visit to Canada's Whiteshell Nuclear Research Laboratories and Underaround Research Laboratory On November 3-4, 1992, Division of High-level Waste Management (HLWM) staff visited the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) Whiteshell Nuclear Research Laboratories and Underground Research Laboratory (URL) and conducted a technical exchange on repository engineered barrier system (EBS) and geotechnical engineering issues of interest. Specifically, AECL staff at .
Whiteshell made presentations on their ongoing research activities related to spent fuel oxidation and dissolution and provided tours of the laboratories and hot cell facilities where the studies are performed. In turn, HLWM staff gave an overview of Nuclear Regulatory Commission interest in spent fuel research, reflective of the dominant role spent fuel will have in the U.S.
high-level waste management program. It is worth noting that, notwithstanding significant differencet in CANDU reactor and fuel assembly design in comparison with U.S. designs, the dominant spent fuel technical issues (i.e.
spent fuel oxidation and dissolution) are the same in our respective programs.
AECL staff at the URL gave an overview of their activities related to thermal, mechanical and thermo-mechanical modeling for the disposal vault engineering.
Presentations included discussions of the experiments at the URL such as the excavation disturbed zone studies, buffer /cor,tainer experiment and mine-by experiment. HLWM staff made a presentation on NRC geotechnical engineering activities, including proactive, reactive and research work that is currently going on in the area of repository design, construction and operation. The presentations were followed by a tour and description of ongoing research at both the 240 m and 420 m levels of the URL. Although the rock type at the URL is massive granite that differs significantly from the fractured tuff at the Yucca Mountain site, the experience gained in the areas of instrumentation-development for the-in-situ testing and the model development and validation at the URL are very applicable to the U.S. program. It should be noted -
that the work in progress at the URL is to demonstrate the technology and the concept of deep geologic disposal and not to demonstrate the suitability of that site for the ultimate disposal of the Canadian high-level waste.

- Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research Items of Interest Week Ending November 13, 1992 Fission Product Re_tintion by_W_a_ter Overlyian Core Debris 5
Draf t NUREG/CR-5901, "A Simplified Model of Aerosol Scrubbing by a Water Pool Overlying Core Debris Interacting.With Concrete," was issued for comment in October 1992. This report documents work done to provide technical support for the NRC Staff's effort to develop updated accident source terms for light-water nuclear power plants (NUREG-1465). The revised source term report outlines the rates at which various groups of fission products are expected to emerge from a degrading core into the reactor containment atmosphere.
Simultaneously with the release from the core, the action of installed safety systems, along with certain natural fission-product removal processes, tends to reduce the airborne radioactive inventory in the containment atmosphere.
This draft report (NUREG/CR-5901) analyzes the natural process by which aerosol-laden bubbles are scrubbed by a pool of water overlying the core debris. Comments by interested members of the public are being solicited by a Federal Register notice issued on November 5, 1992 (p. 52798).
Wo_rlshop on Organizatjonal Fagtors Research On November 12, 1992, DSR/HFB conducted a workshop on organizational factors research to inform senior management of research products to date and to seek recommendations for the future of the research. Participation included J. Sniezek, T. Murley, T. Martin, S. Ebneter, J. Milhoan, D. Ross, L. Spessard, J. Carroll, W. Lindblad, D. Ward, and others. The participants felt that work being brought to an orderly conclusion could be of assistance in inspections and for Diagnostic Evaluation Teams, and progress had been made in cons;dering organizational factors in PRAs. NRR and AE0D will identify any needs for continued research in this area in later years. The current work will be completed in FY 1993.
1111-2 Vessel Investigation Project Program Review Group and Management Board Meeting The TMI-2 Vessel Investigation Project (VIP) Program Review Group (PRG) and Management Board (MB) met on November 12-13, 1992, in Bethesda, MD. The main subject discussed at the PRG meeting was results of preliminary margin-to-failure scoping calculations of the TMI-2 reactor pressure vessel. Instrument tube penetration failures and local and global creep rupture failure modes were considered. France and Japan also presented results of their nozzle and guide tube examinations and TMI companion sample examinations, respectively.
Because of the continued hot cell shutdown at INEL, the PRG agreed not to pursue any further examinations of the 8 nozzles at INEL. Instead, additional analyses will be performed to expand on and better understand the results of the preliminary scoping calculations. The next and final PRG and MB meetings will be held on May 17-19, 1993, at Argonne National Laboratory, to discuss comments on the project's final report. Also, a final event to present the results of the TMI VIP is scheduled for October 20-22, 1993 in the Chicago or Washington, DC area.
