ABSTRACT This report documents the review performed by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) of action taken by the Transamerica Delaval, Inc. (TDI) Diesel Generator Owners' Group to evaluate wiring and terminations for TDI enaines at 10 nuclear power plants. In response to TDI Service Information Memo (SIM) 361, Rev.1, concerning potentially defective engine-mounted cables for the Woodward governor / actuator and the Air-Pax magnetic pickup, the Owners' Group authorized Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC) to evaluate all class IE auxiliary module wiring and terminations installed on the engines.
The evaluations are described in five SWEC reports.
In field surveys of the engine installations, SWEC investigated the compatibility of the wiring and terminations on the diesel engines with the electrical and environmental service characteristics of the applications. SWEC conclusions and recommendations are as follows:
The existing wiring and terminations are acceptable for service at e
the following installations:
Comanche Peak Grand Gulf Perry Rancho Seco River Bend San Onofre Engine No. 2
- Shearon Harris The following recommendations should be implemented at the e
installations noted:
Catawba: TDI SIM 361 should be implemented, the period of manuf acture of the States-type sliding link terminal blocks should be verified, and certain Kyner-insulated wire should be replaced.
v I
t
Midland: TDI SIM 361 should be implemented, and the period of manufacture of the States-type sliding link terminal blocks should be verified.
(Construction of this power plant was subsequently suspended.)
San Onofre Engine No. 1: TDI SIM 361 should be implemented.
- Shoreham: Wiring with type MTW insulation should be replaced in the circuits for the crankcase vacuum fans and the starting air supply solenoid valves.
PNL concurs with the conclusions and recommendations described in the SWEC reports.

REVIEW 0F EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR ENGINE AND AUXILIARY MODULE WIRING AND TERMINATIONS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) is supporting the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in addressing questions of the reliability, operability, and quality assurance of Transamerica Delaval, Inc. (TDI) diesel engines used to provide standby power in some nuclear power plants. These ouestions were raised because of a major failure in one TDI diesel at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station in August 1983 and other problems encountered with TDI diesels. One of the principal tasks in PNL's effort is to evaluate the resolution by the TDI Owners' Group of known problems with potential generic applicability.
This report documents PHL's evaluation of the Owners' Group review of the electrical wiring and teminations supplied with the TDI emergency diesel generators at the Catawba, Comanche Peak, Grand Gulf, Midland, Perry, Rancho Seco, River Bend, San Onofre, Shearon Harris, and Shoreham nuclear power sta-tions. The details of the Owners' Group review were presented in five reports preoared by Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC):

1.1 ISSUE ADDRESSED BY CWNERS' GROUP TDI's Service Infomation Pe=o (SIM) 361, Rev.1, notified the engine owners of potentially defective engine-counted cables associated with the Woodward governor / actuator and the Air-Pax cagnetic pickup. This reco led the Owners' Group to cuestion the suitability of all class IE auxiliary nodule wiring and teminations currently installed on the diesel engines. Of special interest was the suitability of this wiring with respect to fla e-retardancy of the insulation, qualification to industry standards, routing of conduit, compatibility with circuit reouirecents, and the need for special recuirecents such as shielding.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
OF INSTALLATIONS All cable / wire associated with the engines is generally routed in either electrical metallic tubing (EMT), rigid galvanized steel cenduit, or flexible conduit. A variety of wire and insulation types is used, depending on the characteristics of the circuit. These include types SIS, MTW, XLPE, and XHHW.
The conduits installed on the skid and supported away from the engine are ootentially subject to the maxietc room temperature (120*F to 140*F). The junction boxes, conduits, and cables attached to the engine block are poten-tially subject to at least engine cooling jacket / lubricating oil tecperature (180*F).
2.0 OWNERS' GROUP STUDY This issue was addressed by SWEC, a consultant to the Owners' Group. The objectives of the SWEC effort were to examine the functional attributes of the electrical wiring and teminations supplied with the diesel engines and to detemine their suitability for the intended purpose.
2 g
2.1 SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION The scope of SWEC's investigation encompassed the following activities:
Identify all wiring and terminations supplied with the diesel engines from TDI manuals (or, in the case of Shoreham, from the SWEC design I
documents).
Review the wiring insulation for compatibility with circuit e
requirements.
Determine if the insulating material is known to have generic fire-retardant characteristics and is qualified to selected industry standards.
Review the wiring installation routing to detemine the physical environment for each cable.
Evaluate circuit requirements to determine if special cable is reauired.
- Compare the temination types, materials, sizes, and insulation ratings as given in the manufacturer's specifications with the characteristics required for the particular circuit and environment.
2.2
SUMMARY
OF RESULTS 2.2.1 Shoreham Nuclear Power Station SWEC surveyed the class IE auxiliary module wiring and terminations currently installed on the TDI diesel engines at Shoreham. Each circuit's service characteristics were identified and compared to the service ratings of the cable and termination types used.
IEEE-383-1974 was used as the basis for this review.
As reported in Emergency Diesel Generator Engine and Auxiliary Module Wiring and Termination Qualification to IEEE-383-1974 ( April 1984), SWEC reached the following conclusions for the Shoreham engines:
l Qualified replacement cable was provided by TDI and installed on the e
diesel engines in accordance with SIM 361, Rev.1.
3 L
J
The module wiring, cable, and terminations are compatible with the e
circuit characteristics and the operating environment, except for the wiring with type MTW insulation used in the circuits for the crank-case vacuum fans and the starting air supply solenoid valves. Type MTW insulation is not compatible with expected ambient temperatures in these circuits. The selected replacement cable, Okonite 1/C#12-19X Black Okozel (Tefzel insulation), type ZW, rated at 125'C, is acceptable for the expected operating temperature (87.2*C). When this replacement is accomplished, all functional attributes established for the design review of the wiring and terminations will be satisfied.
2.2.2 Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Unit 1 Taking into consideration the same attributes and qualifications as those applied at Shoreham, SWEC conducted a field survey of the class IE auxiliary module wiring and terminations currently installed on the TDI diesel engines at Comanche Peak. SWEC reported in the Supplement to the Emergency Diesel Generator Auxiliary Module Wiring and Termination Qualification Review (May 1984) that all wiring and termi..ations are acceptable for their intended service.
2.2.3 Grand Gulf Huclear Station Unit 1 In the Supplement to the Emergency Diesel Generator Auxiliary Module Control Wiring and Termination Qualification Review (B2-1160060-2, June 1984),
SWEC concluded from a field survev of the TDI diesel engines at Grand Gulf that qualified replacement cable had been installed in accordance with SIM 361, Rev.1, and that all wiring and terminations are acceptable for their intended service.
2.2.4 Catawba Nuclear Station Unit 1 The results of the field survey conducted by SWEC on the TDI engines at Catawba are reported in the Supplement to the Emergency Diesel Generator Auxiliary Module Control Wirina and Termination Qualification Review 4
J
(B2-1160060-4, June 1984). SWEC found the wiring and terminations accept-able for their intended service, subject to implementation of the following recommendations:
- TDI SIM 361 should be implemented.
In accordance with NRC IE Infomation Notice No. 80-08 of March 7, e
1980, the period of manufacture of States-type NT sliding link teminal blocks (item 5 in Table A of the SWEC report) should be checked to verify that the blocks were produced in a time period other than 1974 through 1976.
The Kyner-insulated,14 AWG wire identified as item 2 in Table A of the SWEC report should be replaced with wire qualified to IEEE-383-1974.
2.2.5 Other Nuclear Power Stations The results of the field surveys conducted on class IE auxiliary module wiring and terminations installed on TOI diesel engines at six other nuclear power stations were reported by SWEC in Emergency Diesel Generator Auxiliary Module Control Wiring and Termination Qualification Review (July 1984). SWEC found the existing wiring, cable, and teminations acceptable for their intended service on the TDI engines at the following installations:
Perry Nuclear Power Plant Unit i o
Rancho Seco Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 e
- River Bend Nuclear Power Station Unit i San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1, Engine No. 2 e
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1.
SWEC also found the wiring and terminations acceptable for the intended service at the following installations, subject to implementation of certain recommendations:
Midland Nuclear Power Plant - TDI SIM 361 should be implemented, and the period of manufacture of the States-type sliding link terminal blocks should be verified.
5 J
San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1, Engine No.1 - TDI e
SIM 361 should be implemented.
2.3 REVIEWS DEFERRED TO PHASE II 0F OWNERS' GROUP PROGRAM SWEC commented in the above-mentioned report of July 1984 that wiring and tenninations on engines not reviewed during Phase I of the Owners' Group Program will be reviewed as part of the Phase II Design Review / Quality Revalidation Program.
