L AFFIDAVIT of GREGORY C. MINOR In The Matter Of FORKED RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT Regarding i
NEED FOR REASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED PLANT DESIGN FOR CONCURRENCE WITH TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CP i
l INTRODUCTION l
I.
l My name is Gregory C. Minor and I have 19 years of i
i experience in the design, development, research, field work, and i
management of nuclear reactor sys tems.
I have worked for 16 g
1 years with the General Electric Company and 3 years as a technical cons ultan t.
Since 1976, I have been a partner in MHB Technical 1
Associates working on a variety of reactor studies and nuclear i
safety issues.
I am presently a consultant on several plant cases 'concerning the adequacy of current designs to meet exis ting regulations.
Also, I am currently participating on a Peer Review Group of the NRC/TMI Special Inquiry Group, under the direction of Mitchell Rogovin.
My complete experience record is attached (Attachmenc 1).
_. l i
II.
PURPOSE AND STATEMENT The purpose of this affidavit is to review the licensing and regulatory requirements and changes in recent years to assess the extent to which the Forked River Nuclear Plant may require a
[
t reas sessment of the design's ability to meet the current regula-
[
I" tions.
The delays in this plant have been extraordinary.
In the Forked River Nuclear Plant is an example of 1960 's
, essence, technology, designed in the 19 70 's, to be built in the 1980 's,
and coming on line in the 1990 's.
During these several decades,
many changes have occurred (and undoubtedly, will continue to occur) in the regulations which protect the health and safety of the public, i
It is my conclusion, given the number and significance of I,
i technical and environmental issues which have required additions
[
to the regulatory requirements in recent years, plus the uncer-f tainty of the present s tatus of the Forke'd River Plant design, that a complete re-review of the Forked River Project is necessary Il I
prior to recommencement of construction in order to assess it's i
l ability to meet the regulations in effect at that time.
i hl
- III, DISCUSSION r :
A.
S tandard Review Plan The Applicant for the Forked River Plant applied for i I a construction permit in 1970 and was issued a C.P. in July,1973.
[l l-Thus, the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report' (PS AR) was not i
2
! l l
l l
prepared with the benefit of the Standard Format and Content document 1I firs t issued by the AEC in 1972.
This makes it a more time-consuming process to evaluate the design in terms of current regulations.
As time goes on and more regulations are revised and added, the gap between the Standard Review Plan E!
and Forked River PSAR will widen, making it more difficult to j
assess the adequacy of the plant design.
j B.
Regulatorv Guides l
The guides for minimum acceptable design are given in the NRC Regulatory Guides which of ten refer to industry standards or specific practices which are considered acceptable in complying with the requirements delineated in the Code of Federal Regulations.
These Regulatory Guides are being revised and added as needed to keep up with the current regulatory status.
It is reported that the Applicant at Forked River bas:
"..... upgraded the design as far is practicable to facilitate the process for obtaining an operating license.
This includes reviews of the Regulatorv Guides through Regulatory Guide 1.96 and of che Standard Review Plan........
[they also] have updated the Forked River design in some areas." 3/

2/ Standard Review Plan, NUREG-75/087, Sep. 1975, describes the
~
safety review conducted by NRC and is consis tent with recent revisions of Regulatory Guide 1. 70.

Senedict to the Docket File 50-363, Jul. 24, 1979.
~
l This memo documents a meeting between NRC and the Applicant held on Jun. 20, 1979. _
None of these stitements provide a clear description of the s tatus of the design and how well it has kept up with changing requirements over the 6 years since a C.P. was issued.
1 The Regulatory Guides alone have changed appreciably
'l since 1973 and clearly go far beyond Regulatory Guide 1.96.
A cursory review of a recent listing shows that as of September 1979, there were an additional 48 issued Regulatory Guides (Division 1 Reg. Guides which apply to power reactors), 10
' Regulatory Guides in draft stage, 21 under development, 6 pro-posed for revision, and 23 being revised. bl Of these, many may have important significance to the design of basic s tructures, components, and systems of the reactor.
These are a few examples:
Reg. Guide 1.97:
POST ACCIDENT MONITORING Significant changes are being made. in the requirements of ins truments, control rooms, information and practices to better monitor l
and understand an accident in pro'gress.
This t ;
is largely the result of the experience at TMI-2.
Reg. Guide 1.120:
FIRE PROTECTION f
I Major changes in cabl.e spreading room design, cable construction, cable separation, and fire protection have been necessitated by the dis-covery of design in' adequacies at the Browns Ferry reactor in the March 1975 fire.

l Reg. Guide 1.122:
SEISMIC DESIGN The seismic design practices have evolved as a result of i= proved understanding of soil-structure interaction and building response spectra pertinent to equipment design.
- Recently, the Salem-1 reactor in New Jersey has undergone substantial changes to the seismic design of pipe supports in an effort to ' upgrade the design.
This has resulted in extensive outages for the plant.
Other Regulatory Guides have undergone significant revision 4 in recent years which could have substantial impact on the t
design of a plant being reviwed for a C.P.
at this. time.
Examples are as follows:
Reg. Guide 1.7:
CONTROL OF COMBUSTIBLE GASES FOLLOWING A LOCA 1
This was revised in 1978 and additional require-l ments are being considered as a result of the TMI-2 accident experience.
Reg. Guide 1.29:
SEISMIC DESIGN CLASSIFICATION Three revisions since the Forked River C.P. was j
issued.
Reg. Guide 1.75:
PHYSICAL INDEPENDENCE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Issued and revised twice since the C.P. datie for Forked River, this subject is being further evalu-ated as a result of the TMI-2 experience.
l Reg. Guide 1.84:
ASME SECTION III - DESIGN AND
~
FABRICATION This Reg. Guide has been revised 15 times since the C.P. date.
However, the vessel for Forked River was designed to an older standard - ASME Section VIII-which will make comparison even more difficult. 5_/

Systematic Evaluation Program (SRP)
The NRC has an entire program which is focused on.
the problem of how to evaluate the safety of older plants.
It is called the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) mad is set up to review eleven older BWR and PWR nuclear plants to determine the degree to which they comply with the current NRC regulatory practices for licensing new plants (Regulations, Regulatory Guides,
S tandard Review Plans, etc.).
SEP is intended to provide basic information regarding the areas of strength and weakness of i
I older plant designs compared to current regulatory -practices.
Eventually, the SEP methodology is intended to provide the neces-E sary information to enable the NRC to decide if any deficiency (or the sum of several) has a sufficient impact on safety to require backficting of older operating plants.
It may also be useful in re-evaluating plant designs where the C.P. period has f
f been exceeded.
D.
Unresolved Safety Issues In raviewing the application for a construction permit for the River Bend reactor, The ASLAB held that a licensing
{
bear.d, in order to discharge its statutory function, mus t determine whether the NRC Staff's review "...... satis factorily' has come to grips with any unresolved generic safety problems which might have an i= pact upon the operation of the nuclear facility under considera-tion." 1/
The ASLA3 detailed the level of r& view necessary in 1/ ALA3-444, Nov. 23,19 77 " River Send" at page 27-28 l
4 j l
l g
order for a licensing board to properly discharge its functions:
.....each SER should contain a summary descrip-tion of those generic problems under continuing study which have both relevance to f acilities of the type under review and potentially signi-ficant public safety implications.
This summary description.should include information of the kind now contained in mos t Task Action Plans.
More specifically, there should be an indication of the inves tigative program which has been or will be undertaken with regard to the problem, the program's anticipated time-span, whether (and if so, what) interim measures have been devised for dealing with the problem pe'nding the comple-tion of the investigation, and what alte rna-tive courses of action might be available should the program not produce the envisaged result.
In short, the board (and public as well) should be in a position to ascertain from the SER itself--without the need to resort to extrinsic documents--the staff's perception of the nature and extent of the relationship
(
between each significant unresolved generic safety. ques tion and the eventual operation of the reactor under scrutiny.
Once again this assessment might well have a dire,ct bearing upon the ability of the licensing board to I
make the safety findings required of it on the cons truction pe rmit level even though the i
generic answer to the question remains in the offing." 2/
The ASLAS apparently intended that plants should not be licensed without Staff consideration of generic unresolva.d safety problems at the construction permit stage.
It is difficult to see how a licensing board could make reasonable findings of safety absent such an analysis.
1/

The date of the Forked River C.P. obviously precedes the River Bend decision by several years.
However, because plant construction is only 5 - 67. complete and the plan is to defer con-s truction for several years 8/ or even consider selling, ownership to ano the r p arty, 1/ their is jus tification for the NRC to re-review I b
the application for the impact of unresolved safety issues before i
recommencing cons truction.
There is precedent for the suggested "re-review."
A
- recent example of a situation where.the question of backfitting
]
was considered after a construction permit was issued (before the
[)
r -
=\\
0.L. review) was the Midland Plant.
Because of the extensive pl
=1 delays encountered by the Midland Plant Applicant (Consumers
-~ l Power Company), the Commission conducted a special review of the i
applicability of a large number of Regulatory Guides and Staff g
E positions that had evolved since issuance of the Midland con-
[
t-s t ruc tion p e rmi t.
In the case of Forked River, the Midland action, E
L plus the River Bend decision, would indicate that the design should
[
?
be reviewed against such safety issues as the following:

The NRC in 1974 tabulated the unresolved safety issues into an internal Technical Safety Activities Report (TS AR).
When released in 1975, the TSAR listed 223 3
a items of concern to the NRC of which 173 E
were categorized as having an important impact on the licensing review process.
i<
4 The NRC apparently discontinued the TSAR l..
but in the fall of 1976, in response to i
a memorandum by Rusche of the NRC, one or more members of the NRC Staff identi-fied 27 technical issues as probless whose priority, progress, or resolution. was, in their opinion unsatisfactory.
These'are shown in Table III-2.

Safety issues described in NUREG-041010/
~
In April, 19 7 7 the NRC implemented a pro-g gram for planning the timely resolution of generic technical issues.
Initially, each of the four NRC divisions reporting to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation described and proposed those generic iteam it considered to warrant the highes t pri-ority.
Proposals were received for 355 11/
tasks of which, following consolidation and elimination, 133 tasks were eventually i
selected for review.
A s e t o f unifo rm
[
criteria was applied to the generic tech-nical activities to establish their priority for resolution.
The 41 casks shown in Table III-3 were classified as 6
Category A, warranting priority attention.
[
The remaining issues were divided into 72 i
Category B tasks, 17 Category C tasks, and 3 Category D casks as shown in Table III-4.

The earliest report was NUREG-0560 on feedwater transients. 12/
The recommendations are shown in TaEle III-5.
The Lessons Learned Task Force also generated a list of 23 recommended areas of improvement described in Table III-6.
In addition, the Kemeny Commission made l'3/
more than 80 findings and 44 recommenda -
tions in the subjects shown in Table III-7.
Several of their findings and recommendations

pertaining to the NRC licensing process and to technical issues have relevance to Forked River.
Perhaps the most directly applicable recommendation is as follows:
" Licensing procedures should fos ter early and meaningful resolution of safety issues before major financial i
commitments in construction can occur." lj/

from this position and failed to implement th es e pro-cedures, these directive by NRC management underscored the need
'I to have on record in the SER the factors entering the Staff's analysis of facility safety.
Absent such a lis tin 5 or "documen-tation of all deviations," it is nearly impossible for an inde-
{
pendent party to conduct an informed analysis and inquiry into any safety impacts these deviations may have.
A complete listing and evaluation of potentially significant safety items which do comply with present regulatory requirements is essential for not a definitive assessment of plant safety on the Forksd ' River Nuclear Plant.
. j i<

SUMMARY
The design of the Forked River Nuclear Plant, being at least 10 years old at this time, and facing several years of delay
[
plus many additional years of construction, is being outdistanced by a rapidly changing technk. cal and licensing environment.
There-fore, it is important that the design be re-reviewed in such areas as the ability to meet current regulatory guides, the pressure
, vessel code criteria, the accident analyses in the PSAR, the resolution of safety issues applicable to the plant and implementa-tion of the numerous recommendations resulting from TMI.
The
! l result should be a revised SER and a " documentation of deviations."
j In keeping with the River Bend decision and because of the exten-l sive delays experienced and forecasted in the Forked River construc-
~ ~
tion, this re-review should be completed prior to recommencing construetien.

FCRKED RIVER NUCLEAR STATION
SUBJECT:
MSETING HELD ON JUNE 20, 1979 A' meeting with th'e applicant's representatives was held in Bethesda, Maryland on June 20, 1979. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the applicant's i
request for an extension to the Forked River construction pemit. The ::eeting participants are listed in the Enclosure.
.i.
The staff presented some of its thoughts concerning not only the construction f-permit extension but also the potential difficulties in conducting an operating j
license review in the future considering the rather long elapsed time since issuance of the construction permit.
The censtruction permit application was filed in 1970 and the construction permit was issued in 1973. Plant construction has proceeded slowl,y and is now only about 3". ccmpl ete. Howver, approximately 350 million dollars has been expended in
[
design and equipment procurement. Assuning construction does not begin again for i
tw or three years, the plant design would be about 15 years old when the RC i
begins the operating license review. The design wuld probably deviate considem
)
' ably from the then-current Standard Paview Plan's acceptance criteria, making the j
staf f's review more difficult and more time-consuning. For example, the ASME Ccde i
to which the reactor vessel was purchased was the 1971 edition. The containment vessel was designed in accordance with Section VIII of the ASME cede rather than i
2ection III, as would be the case for plants of more recent design. The seismic E
cesign criteria are old, but the applicant believes that a re-analysis would show
{
that the plant would meet current criteria.
}
The NRC environmental review was completed in 1973. Since then, additional generic environmental concerns have arisen that will have to be addressed.
The reasons for needing an extension to the construction permit were,"as given in the applicant's August 31, 1978 letter, primarily financial in nature. In order to show good cause for the extension, the facters contributing to the delay should be beyond the applicant's centrol. As written in the August: 31
!Etter, it is noc clear to the staff that the factors cited were indeed beyond the applicant's control. Furthermore, the occurrence of the accident at Three
. fie Island Unit 2 has uncouctedly exacerbated the applicant's financial con-cition, raising questions abcut the a:clicant's financial capability to complete
{
the ccnstruction of Forked R:ver.

.t. Arnold of General Public Utilities, the parent corporation of the applicant, presented a brief chronology of events since the issuance 'of the construction 3
permit in July 1973.
Construction was halted in 1974 due to financial difficul-ties, and was begun again in 1977. On August 31, 1973 the applicant filed a request to extend the latest date for ccmpletion of construction fran Cetober 4, 1978 to February 1,1985. On April 3,1979, construction was halted in order to conserve funds that might be needed, as a result of the accident at Three Mile Island Unit 2, for other purpcses. The substructure is about 60% complete, but construction has not reached above grade level. Most major equi;=ent items are 1.n storage at the site.
The applicant stated that it has upgraded the design as far as ' practicable to facilitate the process for obtaining an operating license.
This included reviews of the Regulatory Guides through Regulatory Guide 1.95, and of the Stan-i da'rd Review Pl an.
They have kept up-to-date on.the cperating license review of San Oncfre Lhits 2 and 3, which is similar in design to Forked River, and have updated the Forked Rivte design in some areas.
Mr. Arnold explained that ocean cooling, as an alternative to the ccoling tower, is more e.xpensive and is less desirable environmentally.
He stated that the State of i4w Jersey may be willing to grant a variance on the salt deposition 1imit such that the cooling tower will be acceptable.
According to Mr. Arnold, Jersey Central will be short on its base load capability and on reserves by 1981, and GPU's comitment to the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) pool will also be short. GPU will install gas turbines to try to meet the shortage. Forked River construction will not begin again for at least two years. Jersey Central will probably try to buy participation in other plants to carry them into the 1980's, and may 1.cok for participation in the Forked River i l
. plant by other utilities.
As a result of the discussiens at this meeting, the applicar.t agreed to send us a letter that (1) states that construction work has been halted, (2) requests that we not take action at this time regarding their August 31, 1978 request for CP extension, and (3) states that they will notify us when a decision has been j
made to re-start construction work.
In. addition, they said they will provide detailed information supporting a showing of good cause for construction permit extension and a detailed description of plant design changes intended to meet new safety and environmental standards.

SUBJECT:
Forked River Nucien: S ta tion Docks t Number 50-363 Construc tion Fermit No. CPPR-96 i
Dear Mr. Baer:
l This vill confirm our June 20, 197 9 =eeting to discuss the sta tus of the construction program for Jersey Central Power & Light Company's (JCP&L)
Torked River Nuclear Sta tion.
Specifically, we discussed the sta tus of the construc tion program for the Station immediately prior to the TMI-2 accident I
and the effects of the accident on the cash resources available to General Public Utilities Corporation (GPU) and its subsidiaries, including JCP&L, and their relationship to the Forked River construction program. As a result, we requested that the NRC defer temporarily any action on our August 31, 1978 request for an extension of the completion dates for the Station.
i As we had discussed, a construc tion permit was issued for the Forked I
River Station on July 10, 1973 and construction commenced immediately.
!)
However, shortly thereaf ter construction work at the site was slot-ed down l
until early 1977. The reasons for such delay and the rationale for re-scheduling the in-service date to December,1983, were described in my August 31, 1918 letter to Mr. S. A. Varga, as part of a request fo r an extension of the earliest and latest completion dates for the Station
- l
( Ar.tachment 1, hereto.)
}
As of the date of the TMI-2 accident (March 23,197 9), engineering and construction work for the Torked River Station was proceeding on a schedule
' j consistent with the December,1983, in-service date.
Construction ass 5.6%
cemplete, engineering was 47.27% ccmplete and the aajor equipment :onnected vich the nuclear steam supply system had been delivered to the site. JCP&L's total investment in the Station was approximately $350 million.
Following the TMI-2 accident, and because of the enor=ous cost s imposed oti che companies in the GPU system, on April 3,1979, GPU announced the suspension of work on major construction projects as well as other =easures to teduce cash ouciays. As a result, nest engineering and all construction work on the Forked River Station has been deferred and all on-site equipment placed in storage.

f?A Mr. Robert Bacr Page 2 As we discussed at our June 20, 197 9 meeting, JCPSL needs additional generating capacity presently to meet its base load requirements; by 196L JCP5L will need additional capacity to meet its peak lead requirenants.
Nevertheless, it is clear that the GPU and JCP&L financial situation vill preclude recoc=encement of construction at the Forked River Station for some time.
And, as we had explained during our =eeting, G7U and JCP&L have not had I
sufficient time either to evaluate fully the financial Lap 11 cations of the New I.
Jersey Board of Public Utilities' recent rate decision, or to determine what further rate relief will be necessary to support the r esumptio n o f c ons t ruc-tien ac tivities at the Forked River sita.
In any event, we did indicate that recom=encement of construction probably would not occur for at least two years.
In the interim, JC7&L will explore o ther alternatives for meeting its
,near-term capacity requirements including the possiblity of purchasing additional capacity f rom sources located outside the CPU system. JCP&L also vill investigate the feasibility of sharing vich others the costs and owner-s hip o f t he Fo rked Riv er Sta tio n.
Importantly, we plan to continue the program Laplemented during the period of the initial delay in commencement of construction; that is, JCPSL vill evaluate new NRC regulatory criteria and apply such criteria, where E
practicable mad applicable, to the design of the Forked River Station.
Additionally, we plan to advise the NRC of any decision to recocmence en-gineering and construction activities a t the Focked River site and vill at t ha t time propose any new completion dates and provide supplemental justifi-cation for extension of such dates.
In view of the foregoiIng, we believe that it would be appropriate for the NRC to defer at this time any action on our August 31, 1978, request for an extension of the ccepletion dates for the Station.

Very truly yours,
