91 1 would be ene, would it not, where they should have had 4000 ' i 2 FSI, or should they just have had 2500? 4 MR. SHAO: All the structure concrete is 4Uue. l 4

  • 4 MR. WALSH:

You mentioned something about using this 't 5 2500 filling a cavity-- 6 MR. SHAO: Yes, filling-- t 7 'MR. WALSH: Was any of it to fill cavities within the 8

building itself, for example?

9 MR. SHAO: As I understand, all the 2500 is not structure 10 concrete. Mainly'it's a filling concrete, like I said-- i: 11 MR. WALSil: I know about the filling, but if they're l ' I i 12 using that, I don't know how you came up--to find out where 13 l they used the 2500, but maybe they designed it at 2500 r.ix, i 14 yet the engineer is trying to say we want 4000 and they just 15 put it in there, I don't know where the stuff was used. 16 MR. SHAO: Your concern is maybe the 25 and I 1 } 17. when they're doing the analysis, they assur.e it's 4000. l l 1$ MR. h ALSil: It was written in the NCR. If they screwed .f-19 up one way, they can also go the other way. i. I 20 MR. SHAO: Let me understand your concern. His concern I f 21 is the concrete is 2500 PSI, but the analyst thought it was .i U 4000 and then in the calculation they are assuming 4E00, ~ 22 i 23 right? l i MR. WALSH: (Nods) 24 l 25 MR. SHAO: I'll check that out for you.

92 F7. P!;ILLEO: I can't preclude that happening. I i 2 wasn't there.. As they lined up each pour, there was entered l into the record ahead of the pour a request for a particular 3 4 number of mix and that wa's what we were going with. So*they I 5 actually--they consciously asked for a three-hundred-and-6 something mix'when they go.t 2500 PSI mix concrete. They may l havd asked for the wrong thing, but.somebody asked for that ' particular concrete. g I 9 MR. SHAO: I did ask the applicant the question: Where' I 10. is'the 2500 PSI used? He said only in the non-structured I i concrete. 3, l A prob'em that I have found in the past two MR. WALSH: l 12 l 13 years with the NRC is they go and ask the applicant a l y4 j question and the applicant tells them what they-want to hear, and that's the end of it.. The NRC doesn't go one step h. further and check to see if the applicant is telling the g i truth or not. rcr example, the ceiling in the control room; g g they asked the applicant and the applicant told thet, ano 33 they wrote a report justifying it; didn't even think. l 39 i MR. SHAO: I saw the report; I have no comment. s .20 t MR. WALSH: If it's not required to be seismic, don't .[ 2 'I. trake the damn thing seismic. Change the NSR. 'If the no applicant says we used it here and no one checks, everyone o 23 l

believes what the applicant said.

The applicant can make 24 l I 25 l a mistake when they're discussing stuf f with the NRC. I l + aa

93 I think that's happened quite a bit; I don't know if it's on i 2 purpose or by accident, but a lot of thinos get slipped by having-- l l 4 MR. NOONAN: LEt me talk that just a little bit. I 5 understand your concern. I know where you're coming from. i 6 Larry will go back and he'll look to see what he can find out t 7 as to where this concrete was used and that it was the proper 8 analysis. 9 MR. SHAO: I understand your concern; I will check into l I it. 10 I MR. NOONAN: We will core back and tell you just what g, l g we did just so we can see what--the procedure that we used I 13 l to go back and verify that he did what he was supposed to do.g ! We'll corre back and we will tell you that. 34 IR. WALSH: Again, that was just one exarple, the control b 16 We have the thing with the analysis of the Richmond i r m. i I inserts and bending the bolt. The applicant says--and this l 7 is in the SIT report--they reviewed so many supports and only g9 one out of sixty was in danger. Now, when they go to do their Motion for Sumnary Disposition, they find that they 20 I , :l have a problem. But the staff accepted what the applicant ij had said and didn't go any further. 22 MR. NOONAN: When you say "the staff", can you tell ne i s who? 24 MR. WALSH: SIT report. 25

r 94 I 1 MR. SHAO: Fhen you go looking for the 2500 PSI, make i 2 sure in the calculations they used 2500 PSI allowable, not a . 4000. ME. ELLIS: Also, anytime you're looking at calculations,- 5 one thing that we've come across a lot in answers to discovery 6 that we've gotten regarding the Summary Disposition Motions 7 is that many times they haven't kept their original calcu-8 lations, and we'd be interested in knowing whether these are 9 the original calculations or not. 3p MR. SHAO: We don't want new calculations. MS. VIETTI: Mark, before you carce in, I think Jcse may 11 l g2 have mentioned that it has been our practice with this I 13 l 'lechnical Review Team that the basic philosophy was not just ; y. to look at the paper and just talk to the applicants. he 15 askeo people to go.'.eyond the paperwork and kick the tires, l g quote-unquote, go see what is actually there in the plant, I l t and that's why we had people on site for eight to ten weeks j i

g so that they were there on site and not only could get the 39 paper but could go into the plant and look, too.

So that 20 was something that we were doing when we were on' site. MR. SHAO: Essentially, we took a different approach ,, 3 i" ~ ~ from what you're used. to. 22 ~ MR. CALVO You mentioned a particular report from '3 I Region 4 and, again, I grant you that Region 4 did a limited ! review. They didn't ask the right kind of question, and the l l ~ e o -- e s .-e. no , o J 4e a-g- e p-e p 4-. p a

95 g question was iti showed the analysis that was to be appli-2 cable. I believe we went up there to the ceiling--well, only I 3 partially--but we truly saw it, and we lookec.i at it and ther were some questions about it. I believe what Region 4--they, weretoldtherewasaproblemandwhattheydid--Ithinktheh 5 6 would have done this similar to what you see in others 7 because it was not easy to get there. I think they took that' I g as the basis that if it was good in there, it would have 9 been good up there. I think it was a mistake on their part. 10 They did not ask one more question. That one more question is: Show me the analysis. And the other question: Let rc 3j l I 12 go ahead and see it to see if I agree with you. but', again, 1 they did a limited audit. Keep in mind we all do audits and j 13 l y the depth of it is depending on how much time we had and how serious we feel about that particular one, so I'm sure--you i5 i l have brought things to our attention. We'll focus into it. g 4 l I g If I would-have been reinformed and started over again and ~ 1-i b know what I had to do, I would have concentrated r.y audit 39 maybe in those areas that appear to be of more significance 3 there. t ,,0 l MR. PHILLEO: This particular iss0e hadn't come to my attention when I was on site. This came up in your' letter 22 the first time I was aware that.this sort of thing was in I issuc. 24 !!R. KEI!!IG: Let me n.ake one clarification for the [ b l

v 96 I record. The Special Inspection Team inspection that was l 2 conducted at Coranche Peak was not a Region 4 inspection.. l It was a Region 2 inspection, and if ry reory serves : c a a ' correctly, that inspection was done to try to get a feel for i 5 how serious the problems were at Comanche Peak, not to look } = 6 in depth at any problems that came up or that were previously' 7-known. It was kind of a foundation for this TRT; is that I I 8 not correct? 9 ! MS. VIETTI: I think you're confused. lie's talking i 10 about a regional inspection report that was done-- i MR. CALVO: lie also was talking about the April 1964 ); l l 12 ; special review tear-- MS. VIETTI: No, that's the special review team report. 13 l t la MR. CALVO: If that's the case, then what you say g 15 doesn't apply. It sounds good, but it doesn't apply. l MR. WALSH: There was two reports:. a SIT report and a 6 16 g-CAT report. l J s' !1R. CALVO: Then we must have misunderstood you because I understood the same thing he understood, that the special 39 g review team, that happened somewhere around April 1984, and l 20 3 g 2f that preceded the TRT, and if he's not talking about that-- ,i 1 MS. VIETTI: No, he's not talking about.that. l MS. ELLIS: Let me clarify for the record. The SIT 23 f report was the result of the testimony in the Septerier 1962, l perating license hearings where the Special Inspection Team, 25 l l 1

97 1 ! or SIT, went out and reviewed things regarding allegations. I' 2 of Mossrs. Walsh and Doyle, known as the Walsh-Doyle alle-1 I 3 gations. This was separate from the CAT team report which 4 was the Construction Appraisal Team report which came out in 5 February or March of 1983. That was a separate thing i 6 entirely. He's not talking about the CAT report; he's talk, i ing about the SIT report. 8 MR. SHAO: The SIT report consists of four members: Jce' 9 Tappia, Bob Taylor, Paul Chen, and another man from India, E 10 ; Dr. Rajan.- And that's the report you're talking about. I I 33 MR. WALSE: Yes. l MR. pilILLEO: If you want to get back to cylincer 12 i 13 strength again, havina dismissed the standard cured cylinders' l y l as not being deficient, there remain 108 field-cured cylinders l i y u ci.ted which, in fact, did not weet specification require-: 15 ments. I say specification requirements, not specifications,' 16 I l t j g-because both the job specification and the ACI code require-l ment are that if the field-cured cylinders fail to ecct a ig g9 specified value, then the contractor must improve protection. l s l They don't say the concrete has failed; they say the con-I 20 L., I f g tractor must improve the protection. And so that is the status of these 108, but of these 108, only three were in t the structural flexural mode that are really required by this' ,3 l l specification, and the code there is that in this ten digit 24 pour number, the first digit in the middle group of four 2a. _l 5

90 1 gives the type structure, and if that is a seven, it is a i 2 bearer slab; and there are only three in this whole document-- l 3 there are only three tnat have the digit seven. iney're the 4 only ones for which this more stringent requirement is really, 5 necessary. They are in the Safeguards Building and the I 6 Auxiliary Building, and they're all on page 33 it turns out, Sotwoofthed 7 and their strengths were 3891, 3407 and 3956. 4 a 8 are so close to 4000 that I don't think anybo.dy would worry 9 about the safety implications, so that just leaves one, the i 10 3407 that would be a ratter of some concern. That was the 11 suspended slab that had by 28 days failed quite a bit to meet l + 12 the design strengths, and that was the only place in your 13 l whole document that it seems to me that the Schmidt hammer i 14 ; was really relevant. We needed something to find out if-15 that concrete was behaving well, and the hammer test indicates i i 16 I that it did gain strength all right. So for the type of con-8 l } 1; creto represented by the other 105 cylinders, the ACI cold j ls weather standard merely requires that first the laboratory-19 cured cylinders be adequate to show that the concrete that L i 20 went in was all right and that the concrete merely be pro-i i 21 tected from freezing for three days. Beyond that it's g assumed it will gain enough strength. So this whole business 22 about retesting to ensure that the strength was obtained is 23 l really a OA-QC commitment that CA-CC will have to wrestle 24 I with, but it doesn't really impact the safety cf that 23 I O n e en

99 1 strQcture, except for that one slab that had low strength. 2 That was one that screbody needed to worry about and they did. 3 l I think the testing shows that it was all right. 4 MR. WALSH: Now, you were relying on the Schmidt hammer? I ~ 5 MR. Pl!ILLEO: As a comparative test; where you have 6 questionable concrete, to compare that with concrete that's not'in question. 7 8 MR. WALSH: I'm working on a job right now. We're putting up a 15-story hotel. They had a seven-day test. It, 9 10 l was below strength. It's a fast-track job so they wanted to, 11 l avoid tearing a column down, so. they went to use the Windsor l f probes but the purpose of using the Windsor probe was to 12 l ~ If it failed l 13 determine if they needed to take a core sample. 3 I 14 the Windsor probe, then they'd tear the column down, no I 15 reason to do a core sample. If it passed the 1:indsor probo, l then they were going to go to a core sample to verify ti.e 16 l ^l 1-l strength. It's apparently--in essence, my concern here is Is they're going to use--they used an inadequate--you know that 19 that test is no good. They get 7000-pound concrete using i 20 a Schmidt hammer. .t 21 11R. PHILLEO: That's using a standard calibratio,n. ( .i MR. WALSH: Yes; that's not useful, i 22 I 33 MR. PHILLEO: No. I admit that's completely not useful, to do that. The manufacturer puts a calibration on the side' 24 25 of the hammer that people are inclined to use. All I ever i

r 100 l' want reported is just rebound numbers. If you have two f l 2 concretes of approximately the same age, configuration and I i 3 roisture content, and. one has passed all the tests, ycu nave 4 no question about it. If you make a statistically adequate 5 number of tests on that one and a statistically adequate i 6 number of tests on the concrete that has your concern, if 7 those numbers are equal, I think you're entitled to say that 8 the strengths are equal. I would not tell you what the 9 strength is. I'd just say the strength in this area that ? 10 i. we're concerned about is as good as the strength over there I l where we're not concerned. 11 Don't use the' 12 MR. SHAO: only for comparative purpose. i 13 l nanufacturing calibration. You get extra strength; that's ja the wrong number. If you compare the sace age, same e isture, then you can know the uniformity of the concrete. 15 That's the purpose of Schmidt hammer. l g l MR. P11ILLEO: I will not accept that as an acceptance j g I test for concrete, but in concrete in place, I think it's g useful for that type of comparative testing. 39 MS. ELLIS: When you do this Schmidt hammer test, though-- 20 l Well, I think there are several concerns that we have. First 21 .L thing is you have to know what you're doing,.and I~think there is a big question in our minds as to whether or not 23 I they knew what they were doing to start with when they did l the Schridt harmer test. There is sorething else that I dont .a w-e.*e m-

i? : ' 101 1 know if y'all are faniliar with or not. A lot of these tests I i and things were done by Hunt Corpany. Now, I'd be hard-3 pressed at tais point to go back and finc tnis, and I'm nct U -sure if there was anything official filed or if it was just a 5 in the paper when it happened, but it's my recollection that 6 back--I want to say '79 or so; I'm not sure if that's right-- 7 that basically they removed the Hunt Company from the job ~. 8 and the Utility took over doing this. There were also a 9-lot of allegations about defective concrete at that tire, 10 which Region 4 looked at, and we don't think they looked at i i gj it adequately that tirc; but I think that there's a strong l 12 question in our minds as to the validity of any of those 8 13 l test results that they have attached to these nonconformance ; i ja reports. 15 MR. PliILLEO: I can't vouch for the accuracy of the i testing. I can only say I think there are relatively few I { g places where the tests are real pertinent. This one slab-- that slab is still available for testing,_so they're going h g9 to have to do some testing and they can go back and pump t that one again. There were several cases where there was sore N 20 i concern about early freezing of the concrete, and they used 5 21 i the Scheidt harmer there, but these cases were--again, it was a Procedural, a OA-OC item,that in the seventh day the con-23 crete was exposed to air and the ten.perature was 12 degrees l i That was a violation of curing l out or something. l 3~ 4 m W

102 I specifications, but once concrete is three days old, it's b l 2 immune.to freezing, so it couldn't have-been harred even if : j the allegation was correct that the protection care off and l 3 4 it got exposed to 12-degree air. So there they did a fair i 5 arount of Schridt hammer testing to prove that the concretc 6 hadn't frozen. That's fine, but I think it was unnecessary. 7 It's conservative; it's on the safe side, but physically I 6 the concrete couldn't have been damaged even under the horror ~ 9. story that was told about the absence of protection, so I i 10 think we 're not hanging our hat on very much Schr..idt hammer g testing. I think mostly it boils down to this one Safeguards 33 12 ! Luilding slab which could be tested anytime as far as that's ' I I 13 concerned. .E. ELLIS: Back to this deal about the Reactor Nc. 2 14 cavity wall. Is that 2500--is that designed for 2500 strength? g3 1 i MR. PHILLEO: I doubt it. 16 I I ELLIS: It's on page 2 through 4 of Attacnment D. j 37 g I MR. Pl!ILLEO: Is that the 0352755-- 33 MS. ELLIS: The number is 2015781001. 39 I MR. PHILLEO: If I'm lucky, we may have looked that one i 20 up. Yes, 2015761001. That was 4000 pounds. That was nix .5 21 204, so we have confirmed that one. MS. LLIS: It wasn't clear--okay. Apparently, what 3 they said in this nonconformance report was that there were l ~ neerns about this. There's nothing to indicate that it was 25 l

103 1 ever retestec after their concerns-- 2 MR. PliILLEO: This is where the concerns were that the 1 field cylinuers got r..ishandled and no longer rcpresentec tl.c 3 ~ parent concrete, and they finally had to conclude that once 4 5 this was discovered it was too late to do anything about it; 6 the information was all lost. Again, this was the sort of concrete that was not loaded early in the flexural mode so 8 while there is, again, a OA-Oc problem, there's not a tech-9 nical problem because it's the kind of stuff that only has 10. l to be protected from freezing for three days and then it will l* j; gain strength when the warm weather cores. So there's paper l 12 work to be resolved but there's no safety prcbler., I think. I 13 l MS. LLLIS: What I'm concerned about is: What is the i y strcngth of that concrete? !!R. PHILLLO: Well, it's 4000 PSI concrete as verifiec 15 I g by laboratory strength and after it's been subjected to l suf ficient hich ter perature the field concrete will be that l gg strong or stronger. t 39 MR. WALSH: Even at the surface, after it's been frozen't MR. PHILLEO: Yes. Once it's gotten to 500 PSI com-20 j pressive strength, it's not going to be daraged by freezing. 21 L 'MR. WALSH: From what I read from these documesits was 22 1 field-cured cylinders, even if mishandled or whatever, repre-23 sented the concrete in the field. 2s f MR. PliILLEO: That's the purpose, cf course. In this I I

a_- 104 l particular case, apparently they didn't; but that's what 1 2 they're there for. i l MR. WALSH: There was nothing on here saying that they 3 did not represent what was in the field, and the design of 4 l 5 the buildings is more disflexural; it's compressive strengt... 6 And they're taking a gross section when they design the i I 7 buildings and if they've got a problem with the field-cured i S cylinders, they shouldn't have gone to a'11 this mass of paler 9 work. I mean, it wasn't within one day; this is over almost 10 l a whole year they had a problem like this, and then to find 11 l out it's only 2500-pound concrete and create all this work. I I 12 Then they say that these field-cured cylinders, it's going to l i 13 Le representative of what's going on in the field. k MR. PHILLEO: I think their paper work problem was they ja 15 had a specification requirement to regularly rake and test i field-curc6 cylinders. This was a little case of overkill. 16 i } ' j-j rer c.ost of the concrete that wouldn't be necessary, but they b were stuck with it in the specifications. So they had to 39 dispose of ther one way or the other, so they had to make and s 20 test field-cured cylinders. Presumably when they failed to [ n.ake 85 percent of the laboratory-cured, the contrac, tor was 21 1 obligated to irprove the protection. That, again, was a case y of overkill. There was no real reason to overprotect, but i , 1

they wrote the specifications around the high-class buildinc,

requirements. ~ l .a I l g yc. ..,.,m 9 --...e

1-105 1 l MR. WALSH: I guess a little bit of concern on this is: l 2 Did they have protection on the building itself when they 3 l made this? l 4 MR. PHILLEO: Well, yeah, the minimum requirements of 5 the ACI cold weather stancard would only give you about 50 6 percent of the 28-day laboratory-cured strength at 28 days, 7 so'a field cylinder that satisfied all requirements of the 8 ACI cold weather standard for non-flexural members could 9 only have 50 percent of the 28-day strength. 10 ; So really, all you need is some assurance that, first, 11 ! the laboratory-cured cylinders met this strength and, second,' 12 there was three days of protection against freezing. If i 13 those are met, the stuff will eventually gain strength. It I may take it until April but it will eventually get to 4000 la 15 or better. fir. ShAO: I think Mr. Philleo is saying that it is a 16 ; j 17 l violation of procedure but technically, as far as safety is j 13 concerned, so all you need is 50 percent. There will be no l 'l 19 harm to it. .l 20 PS. VIETTI: Let me just mention something that you ,j 21 mentioned about falsification of records that were being 22 done at the Hunt Company--or you said the Hunt-- 21 MS. ELLIS: They were allegations about-- ME. VIETTI: Right. i.e, as I said when we rade this 24 9 25 comprehensive list, reviewed a lot of the inspection reports

v s 106 1 that the Region did and' incorporated those allegations or 2 ~ concerns into our tracking system, and they have been i 3 revisited; so I know that Larry Shao's group has done wor). l 4 on it. It's one of the open issues that was in the September 5 18th letter where the documentation was not there that gave ! 6 us the assurance when we asked for additional information, 7 and that's being pursued. We have followed up on that. 8 ?UI. SHAO: I want to make sure that Mark--50 percent, 9 85 percent, about freezing--do you have any more questions i 10 in this area? We agree with you tnat there'is a violation i l I j; procedure, but I think mainly Bob is talking about safety-- I 12 MR. PHILLLO: I realize there is a OA-GC matter invcived 13 l there. l 14 ; MS. ELLIS: There are two different things we're looking 15, at. I 16 MR. SHAO: There's no question about a violation. l i l i 't - ), ..R. PHILLEO; I'r just talking about structural safety. i i 15 MS. ELLIS: The reason this all cane up, as you know 19 from reading our answer to their Motion for Summary Dispo-20 sition, is because of the applicant's statement-- i l s s' 21 MR. PHILLEOs --all the concrete was 4500 or 5000. I i t-wasn't too crazy about that statement. I don't work.for 22 23 the applicant. f MS. LLIS: "The manufacturer's tests were conducted 24 i 25 .with concrete which had a strength of between 2850 and 3220 l l )

PSI (approxirately 3000 PSI). While the concrete at Corancne y - reak'isLdesigned for 4000 PSI, it actually ranges frcr 45C0 to above 5000 PSI." 3 MR. PHILLEO: What is implied here--and I am ot in a 4 l i 5. Position. to say whether the implication is correct--is that 6 I .the< anchors are only in 40003 pound concrete. .I i I 40R. WALSH: They did their tests in 5000-poun4 concrett, 7 .g. though. That was in our answer. I don't know if you're 9 involved witn that answer or not. i:R. Pli1LLEO :' No, I'm not, but I suspect thdt that's 39 correct;.but I can't state on the record that all the y, anchors are in the 4000 PSI design concrete. I doubt if thc .g

(

trutn -is otherwise, but I'm not in a position tc say that. MF. LLLIS: Okay. 7.t any rate, I think it's obvious that' their statement at a very minir.ur. needed qualificatier.. l a. t.R. PhILLLO: Ti.at' statement is not quite corrcet as it g stands; to say that Cor.anche Peak concrete was designac for g 400s is an oversimplification. Scr.c of it was cLvica:ly 15 =, designed for'2500, but it may well be that all the'cencretc 39 I r ~ + 20 i ".ining anchors was designed for 4000. MS. LLLISt. I guess on mos} of this, rather than gois.t. through this item by item, it would be better to wait for ~ your report and then we can ask questions after we get the report.

One thing is that the 7 original NCR that had to do with this particular concrete t 8 pour was not available for file. Another thing is that 9 most of the testing that was done they had two sarples, two 10 groups of samples rather, that they used, like field-cured I 11 cylinders and laboratory-cured cylinders. In that particular l 12 one--maybe we should take a break while I'm looking through g 13 l these. 14 (A short break was taken.) t is, MR. NOONAN: Let's go back on the record.

Maybe you can explain, 9 i l

maybe go back in a little more deteil for Mark as to your 10 3,

j involvement and Jose's involvement. 12 !!R. SHAO: Okay. I think originally allegations core I I 13 from you. Let ne read your allegation here. I think the y i original allegation is "The fuel run conduit, the drywall ! and the lichtino installed in the area above the ceiling panel 15 l in the control room are classified as non-seisnic and arc 16 supported only by wires, and these items may fail as a result [ 3j f a seistic event." It was originally handled by Jose in 16 I this area mainly because a lot of electrical components, and 39 i f then I think Jose and his cohort, GeorgeMyer,wentuptothe; 20 l ntrol room, look at the ceiling, and he said this allegaticr. I 21 t is valid. But he said maybe he should involve my group to look at it because my group do a lot of seismic work. l My pecple start looking into it, and we agreed that the l The recaon it's valid is Comanche Peak' l allegation was valid. .) l m p--

110 1 is committed to design according to Regulatien 129. Regu-2 lation 129 is so-called seismic classification. Regulation 129 said that classifications of two types: one is seismic 3 l l 4 ~ category one and non-seismic category one. The seismic 5 category one is defined as those components and structures 6 that are required for safety functions. Non-seismic category 7 one are those components that are not safety related; they're. S called non-seismf.c category one, but also Regulation 129 9 said for these non-category one they should be designed in i 10 such a way that failure would not adversely affect the l 11 safety function of safety-related components or cause injury. l 12 ;- to operators. 13 l We looked into this, but we didn't believe what the I la control room had' said about this paragraph. In the control 15 room--on the top of the control room there is seismic category - l 16 ' one, seismic category two and non-seismic. In Comanche.reak i j [ 17 they introduced another term called seismic category two. i i 13

Khen they do a damage 19 study, they look at the physical geometry of the component, i and do a little bit simplified dynamic study to make sure j 20 l l if the component fail if it can affect the safety function 21 I f category one components, they call it catego'ry two. 22 i MR.

111 1 MR. WALSil: Was that done by the Structural Group? 1 2 [ MR, SRAO: They are a special group headed by kest. l There's a special group called West; done by West. They're 3. 4 called Damage Study Group. i 5 MR. WALSH: I'm concerned if the people were qualified ' 6 to do it. I 7 MR. SHAO: It's a very simplified--it's a very simple 8 prognosis you're talking about. It's not very fancy. 9 MR. WALSH: .They had unstable pipe supports out there I 10 ; so I wculdn't doubt that. I'm concerned that even the l. 13 sinplest stuff gets overlooked. 12 l MR. SHAO: Let me get into--I have some concern with 13 their calculations later on. Okay. As you said, they'do a l y j damage study again. They nar.ed a class category two or non-I seismic. For a non-seismic they do nothing, right, because 15 I i 16 according to their analysis it would not affect any other i l -{ 3-ccmisonents. For category two they are ' supposed to do a l j 33 seisric analysis to show that it would not fail. ihey're 39 supposed to do that. .I have no problem with the criteria, i i j-20 but.I do have a problem with implementation. Okay. l l At the top of control room ceiling there are three 21 1 P Pes. They're heating, ventilating and air conditioning ^ i 22 and safety-related conduits. They're considered as seistic 23 category one so they have to de a full-blown dynamic analysis. For non-safety-related conduits, light fixtures, they're 25

112 l considered to be a seismic category two component; and for 1 I 2 sloping suspended drywall ceiling, acoustical suspended I 3 ceiling, louvered suspended ceiling, they are classified as 1 4 non-seismic. I said, "Why do you classify these as non-- I 5 seismic?" They claim these are very small pieces. In their i 6 judgment if they fall it would not hurt the operator or would 7 not affect the safety function of the safety-related com-8 ponent. We say we don't agree because operator can.be hurt 9 by quite a small piece of element go into his eyes and may 10 j affect it. So we don't agree that classification as non-l seismic. 33 I 12 Also, on seismic ~ category two we look at their calcula-l tion. I 13 i They do a so-called equivalent study analysis. They co not do a dynamic analysis. i MR. *dALSE: This is where they had a problem before. 15 -i 16

l motor responses which is an increase by 50 percent when you're g j_ using-- Ib MR. SHAO: Yes. I wrote that position ten years ago. 39 k The reason the 1.5 is to account for the motor mode and also i 20 the other uncertainties, but our question is beyond this. g ' When they do a category two analysis, there is a non-seisr.ic-- they're interaction effect also. You can take interaction effect. 24 I MR WALSH. Okay. I understand. , a. l

113 1 COURT REPORTER: I couldn't understand what you just l 2 ! said. MR. PHILLEO: Interaction is the key word. l 3 l 4 MR. SHAO: The interaction between the so-called l 5 category two and non-seismic items. 6 When they do a dynamic analysis they not only have to 7 worry about category one and category two, they also have S to include so-called non-seismic item in the-dynamic calcu-9 ; lation. Othe rwise, the calculation is no good. I l 10 i I also have a problem with their implic'ation practice. i 11 l So for that reason we wanted to look at-the whole problem i 12 I again. First, look at a classification, whether this should 13 be category two or non-seismic. For the category two they la I have to redo the calculations ~to make sure they do it right. I 15 One is dynamic inplication factors; one is interaction effect. l l l 16 In addition to control room, another question is they i I i {. 1-should core up with a study. If you have a probler. here,- i 15 maybe there's a probler somewhere else in the plant, the t 19 same type of problem. So far, the program plan they sub-i i 20 mitted they addressed the control ceiling, but they didn't address adequately elsewhere in the plant. So we are,to l i 21 l f llow up on this. 22 MR. NOONAN: We took one other action on this one. 23 They're in the process of replacing the ceiling cut there. 24 I understand they're doing it on the Unit Two side of the l 25 t em,ga g,g

114 control roon, but we plan to go,back. 1 i I i 2 MR. SHAO: I think it's a good idea. Let's have a meeting first before _they_do all of this. 3 l ~ _. __ _ _.. l ~ 4 MR. NOONAN: We'll probably come out there and have a 5 meeting with them and have people go in there and see what 6 they're doing before they get too far along. We've taken 7 that as an action, and we will do that. i 8 MR. CALVO: Mark, in one of those items, I guess, in the i 9 other arcas of the plant is the conduits that are less than 10 two and greater than two. They look like--the rule they I 11 use, if it was less than two we don't have to do anything wit : l l 12 it, but if implications vill be less than two inches conduit 9 13 l their failure, if it happened to be in a seismic category l one area which tests safety-related equipment and also is 14 l i 15 inhabited by the operator, so they got to consider the con-i i m duit. I i Also, the greater than two inches the question is:

Yes, i

gf j they had done--they look like they had.the heaviest cable 39 restraints to hold it, but, again, do an analysis again--I i 20 think maybe you saw evidence to the effect they had attached l an analysis; whether it has been approved by the mechanical i 21 s group or not I don't know. 33 MR. SHAO: We should have the analysis. 23 l ~ MR. CALVO: That's how the conduit entered the picture, 4 n t only in the control room ceiling but all.ov.er the plant.j I 25 .es..- en

~ .__.e_ 115 1 i MR. hALSH: Another concern--it's got to do with the l \\ 2 cable trays--but I've worked with Ecchtal and I know how l these companies work. You have one organization that does 3 4 i a certa'in item and people go from--they way be in a 5 strui:tural group but they'll do cable trays for six months 6 and then go to conduit support and then maybe H&V supports. 7 Here they didn't do H&V but it's all within the same structural e S group which is Gibson Hill. 9, When CYGNA came out with their report, CYGNA hadn't 10 considered the 50-percent increase for multi-motor responses-- l MR. SHAO: When they do an equivalent static load 11 l 12 ! analysis. l MR. WALSH: --which is, from what I understand the I 13 i 14 ; original calculations were based on, the equivalent static load r.ethod. CYGNA did not notice it, Gibson 11i11 had not 15 } 16 ; done it, on the cable trays, and the concern that I have now I i is I don't think anyone from that structural group, when i g-they used the equivalent static load method, used the 50-33 I l percent increase. They didn't know about it. 19 I l MR. SHAO: That 50 percent is an NRC provision. They 20 I have to do that. j 21 MR. WALSH: Gibson Hill is trying to come back and say-- ^ 22 MR. SHAO: Alternatively they can do that. They don't 23 have to use the 50 percent if they do a full dynaric test. MR. WALSH: I understand that position, but that has not ,)5 e eo en m.ee. o -. a- --e eo

116 1 been done. It was not done in the original calculations. 5 i' 2 Nou, if you just go and look at cable trays and say that we can qualify; all the cable trays are using a rore cont.li-a a cated or a more precise dynamic analysis, they'd have to do 5 it for every damn tray in there or go back and start pulling 6 off their conservatism load or wnatever. 7~ Now, we've got the-cable trays saved, but they forgot 8 to do it for conduit supports,. Now they have to do it for .9 conduit supports. Then you've got other items in that build-10 ing, maybe stairs, they forgot. I !!R. CHAO: Well, you think the whole plant they did not l 12 use the 1.5 f actor? MR. itALSH: It came out of the structural group. Some-13 l 14 ene should have noticed it. If I had worked in designing i 15 of the stairs for Gibson Hill and I used a 50-percent increasc, 16 l when I go to do a cable tray support,. I'm going to use that i l-I- g same 50-percent increase. E i ^ i n MR. SliAO: CYG'.1A didn't do that, too. You say Gibson l 19 didn't do that; CYGNA didn't-- 20 MR. WALSH: And when CYGNA went to review the calculation, You canl't e 21 they didn't notice it. CYGNA did an inadequate job. I r rely on.CYGNA to come up with valid conclusions. I' don't knou 22 ) ,3 why they didn't notice the applicant did not consider that i i i 50-percent increase. Like you said, it's the staff's positio'n ,4 to do it. 9'# j. l

117 1 MR. SHAO: I wrote the provision so I know this was l l-l 2 thc standard review plan, but they adnit they didn't use that' 3 60 percent on cal.le' trays? 4 MR. WALSH: It's in the report. 5 MR. SHAO: I see. Can you think of the particular 6 record? 7 MR. WALSH: It's May of this year. 8 MS. ELLIS: It's Thursday. morning; May 1st or 2nd. MR. SilAO: May 1st of 1984. i 9, i 10 MS. ELLIS: Yes, in the trans'cript of the operator's I t i3 license. [ l l MR. WALSH: It sort of shocked me when he ca:te out and 12 l 13 said they were going to look into it, but I haven't heard -l 14 anything about it. If they did it for the cable-trays--and 15 - l I know how these corpanies operate, these people--they r.ay i 16 have also done it for all'the other structures, that they I l g-used the equivalent static load rethod. I MR. SHAO: The 1.5 factor is extra-conservative. If g 39 you want quick and dirty, you want extra-conservative, so j there's another factor to be accounted for. 20 l MR. WALSH: The way they did their calculations I - j 21 i w uldn't call it really conservative. They assumed'o'ne 22 span 1 ading and they just used that; they did not consider 23 i i multi-nodal. f !'.R. SHAO: But they used a peak response plus 1.5. 25 l ..wo..e- ...e

Because I am 9 looking into the cable tray supports and we look at a cable i 10 i tray loading, 50 percent, and we want to know what kind of 11 seisnic calculations will be done because of additional l 1 12 loacing, anc looking at the paper work, is there sene kind 13 j of way to call our attention that this thing come up? -14 MR.

143 1 l something wrong with their as-built program that the 2 supports are getting these binding and are not moving in the l predicted fashion they should be. To go through the 7914 l 3 4 Bulletin requirements they should be able to predict the i 5 novament through the thermal loads. That's all this was, 6 and dead load. Unless there was--maybe that thing was, the 7 piping system, was put in under pressure and now they've S got a load in there because it was pushed in or used the 9 polar crane to move it and get it in place. Now youve 10 prestressed your' pipe and it's not going to move until you 11 i remove that prestressing force which throws the calculations l I i 12 off because there's no prestress force input.in the pipe 13 stress analysis. Maybe that's the problem. I haven't seen 14 anything from the staff requiring the applicant to address 5 i 15 why this was occurring. !!R. Ei.AO : Have you addressed this issue? 16 i j 17 i MR. SMITli: In the first place, they had a lot of pipe i 16 supports, either out and documented or that did not pack as a 1 I 19 predicted, as you say. That's the purpose of the therrel

1i 20 expansion-test, to prove that what you calculated is, in j

8 fact, true. It's normal and it's expected. For that. reason 'i 21 ~: we don't consider any of.those supports operable until they j 2 have nducted this test. What's made the HFT incompletc l 23 l i is that t!.ey had a lot of those supports gonc cr that were I binding. They removed them to remove the stress that it was ~' l l -.~. h s. y a .e m -cy, ~ J 'w-----

144 1 I causing and ended up with a very long list of approxitately l 2 50 percent of supports, snubbers and so on that had to be { 3 l retested, in many cases redesigned, because the moverent l 4 4 was not as' anticipated. I don't think you were here,when we l l ~ 5 centioned it, but they are getting ready to corrence another 6 HFT and all of the supports and snubbers based on figures 7 that they were able to get during the first HFT are now S installed, are identified in the test procedure by computer' I 9 run and in the containment versus white flags and tags and i l so on, and this HFT will complete that test; that's. the deal. 10 11 l Whether or not everything was covered with so many [ 12 !- supports rissing remains to be seen. I fully expect when I 13 they finish the I:FT,this tire around, they'll still have 14 I some areas that have to be justified or replaced in terms I 13 of supports. Again, you're talking about a very, very i I complex piece of retal there with the piping systcrr, ant le ; 17 j you can calculate within practical limits what it's going js to co; but you never really know until you do it. 19 MR. WALSH: Their philosophy was'"Let's see how well i i 20 your prediction was." What I had seen out of their tests 4 21 was it was not doing what they had anticipated, and on rest f I l of the items that they found it was written down that they'll 22 23 install it prior to fuel load. There was no indication they, i were going to be retested. 34 ! l MR. SMITH: That may be the impression, and that was 25 I i

145 1 because they had planned to defer these until af ter fuel 2 loading and do 'it during the next expected lift. Now, from 3 l a historical standpoint, that's practical to an extent, [ 4 depending on the amount of testing you're planning on doing 5' after fuel loading. In this case, with the course of eventt 6 here, they found it practical and smart to go ahead and heat 7 up now and do this testing prior to fuel loading; and that 8 makes a ' lot of concerns go away because now you're putting 6 9 the fuel in the pot with.more of this stuf f done. 10 So we have looked at the--we. mentioned this before you 11 l came in--we looked at what testing was completed, looked 12 I at the records, looked at the documentation.they had to show I 13 which was not installed, which bound on them, which needed 14 ' ' ~ redesign; am.d we are now--in fact, I have just completed ~15 a review of the new thermal expansion test which is going to l le ce under the initial start-up program, precorc as they call 17 l it, and I. reviewed that as a ' resident inspector a: d 'we will j. 15 Le t..onitcring-the test as it progresses through this next \\ 19 30 or.40 days.

~146 i 1 Their calculation still said the pipe moves to the right when in reality it goes to the left. In that cold spring, 2 i l in effect, that'will also work under the dynamic condition, 3 4 but since' they're going to be redoing it, maybe they'll 5-correct some of those problers so it will go in the right 6-direction, the piping. 7 MR. NOONAN: What other problem--not just Coranche i 8 . Peak but any plant--when they do these kinds of things, they i 9 run.the.se analyses, they use the most sophisticated code 10 they can come up with, super pipe or whatever, and they do 11 these calculations but, in fact, you get out there and you l 12 1, see the way it's actually built, things are not quite done l 13 the way it's analyzed; so the movements don't come out to I ~ 14 l be the same. Parts of--you mentioned 7914. I was involved t 15 in that one. The concern we had was basically that computeri l l 10 analysis didn't match what was done in the fiele, and we i I i 1; made that a Lulletin. We made these plants go back out and-- l 15, 7914 you have a problem because a lot of 1:R.

14C 1 Anything else in the testing area? 2 MR. HALSH: Nc. MR. NOONAN: Then I guess, Juanita, why don't you just-- l 3 4 let's proceed. 5 MS. ELLIS: I know y'all are going to starve before I 6 get through. t 7 The crack in the base mat: I've got most of this in S written form for you, so'I think that will help.- I'll try 9 to just go through this kind of quickly because I've got most i 10 of this stuff that I'r going to be talking about written down 'ne've always been very concerned with this crack in-th l here. 11 base nat. One of the reasons we've been concerned is that 12 13 ! all the documentation that was ever introduced by anybody, 14 ! and most of it was introduced by us, indicated that the crack in the base rat--they had a vertical crack that extended g i 16 corpletcl/ through the seven-foot thich mat near the center i ~l of its ridspan across the cavity; not the radiation shicid I 17 on thc cide, across the cavity. I've got a lot of docur.ent: [ Is l here and so on that I want to leave with you, but the bottor. 19 i line is we have been hearing for years from a lot of different I 20 pe plc, sore of whor we haven't even been able to get in ,j 21 ~ t uch with again, that this crack was wider than what-it's. 2, t been represented to be, that it went not just on the radiaticn' 23 . part on the side, but also underneath the reactor cavity .,4 I itself and all the way under the reactor and on to the other 25

149 1 l side, all the way, the.whole pour, in other_vords. I l 2 It was considerably larger than what it was indicated 3 to be, and there are several things about tnat tnat have I \\ 4 bothered us through the years. One thing is-that in testi-I 5 fying during-the hearings, most of the people had never seen 6 the crack. Most of the applicant's witnesses had never seen I 7 the crack. Joe Tapia with the NRC staff testified in Junc 4 8 '82 hearings--this is to the best of~my recollection because i 9' I didn't have tire to look up the transcript--he had spent i 10. about eight hours investigating the crack in the base mat. 11 That investigation revealed documentation which, liho I say, 12 ; nost of that we had, and talking to the applicant's witnesses 13 or the applicant's people on site. I think--I'm not positive; 'la about -this at all without checking the transcript--that the t. 15 only one that testified he had seen it was applicant witness. l 16 LaGrange, I believe it was. I'm not positive about that. i I l t i' g One of the things that bothere6 us was if you lech j j p through tae nonconfermance reports, you'll find that alrost 19 all of the=, or most of them anyway, where there is any i E 20 question as to dimensions or location or anything like that, l j 21 they have.a drawing attached. There was never any drawint f the crack in the base cat, no drawing at all. On dis-22 I i c very the applicant provided us with a copy of a drawing 23 l that semebody had backtracked and made just to give us an 24 i idea of where it might be. ~5 t

= 150 1j There was just an engineer there on site--not at the 2 ! time it happened, but at the tir.e of discovery. This is l,CASEExhibit28whichweusedinoursummarydisposition j 3 t 4 motion, and that's this document right here. You'can't sec 5 it too well. They showed with.a line where it had gone 6 across here.and across here, but this was just somebody's i. 7 estimate on. site. It wasn't really documentation by any 8 umeans. '9 MP.. Fl!ILLEO: You can see where it is fror. the tcp. 10 It's been patched which has no structural significance. You - 11 l can see the top of it. f 12 MS. ELLIS: Now, the other thing is the applicants in I 13 the hearings--I didn't have time to pull all these drawings 14 l and I didn't have time to pull the applicant's document-- g-introduced a drawing, not of the crack, just a drawing, and i l ~ ever body stood.around the board up thcro and tried to j go 'I I I 17 figure out where-the-Sam-liill the crack was. l Is

m. PI:ILLEO:

There was some confusion on the mirrcr 39 image there. I read-that transcript. They came back an Ii 20 hour later with a new drawing, which things were reversed i 5 21 again. t - ~ d2 Ms. ELLIS: It was sort of Twilight Zone time. It was 23 a very strange sort of proceeding there. l My point is that the Board didn't make any ruling lased 4, n documentation. They made their ruling based on testimony, 25 I i s-e== engse eeeepe we. - $ s p.- e e e aus p ene.* 4 "m r ~ t w w-,-m,, e3st -- -,v,. i.,-% .m w-- g y e----,-*-t w - e-4 ?"w'-em-y* -~'-"YT'

151, I

and the.decurentation which they were supplied all says the I 2 sar1e thing, like I said before. There's no docun.entation to-i 3 support what tne applicant said about this being just on the 4 sides. 'There's none whatsoever that I've seen or that they I ~ 5 ever produced. Another thing is that allegations keep coming 6 up about_this, and I probably would not have brought it up l i 7 again now except for two things. One thing is--or both of i '8, these actually were investigation reports which we -)ust got 9 recently from the Office of Investigation, and one of ther is' ~ 10 Report No. Q4-84-016, and I'll give you copies of these. The i 33 other cnc is CASE No. 4-83-00C. There are twc things note-l 12 wortny about these. One is: On-this first report--let's take. 13 l then in reverse order. The second report first: 4-83006. l y ,.In 1963, after these hearings were held--the hearings were 15 held in June 1982, by the way, and not in 1981 as it' states in this report. I could go into some detail about the i I i g deficiencies of this report, but I wen't take a lot of tire q is to do that. Eut apparently the Utility told ther. that this j 19 had been done in 1981, and they didn't check and took their i word for it. It says that it was examined before the I l 20 i i l' f Li ensing Board in early 1981 and no problers were found. 21 i That is not correct. This could be important because one l f the statements made by the investigator at the bottom of 23 l the interview with Ronald Tolson on page 8 of this report states that basically they didn't ask him the specifics abotn.' 3 1__.'___d __.i_. _a

l'52 I the alleger's concerns because of the confidentiality prob-l l 2 let, and they said, "Inasruch as Tolsen's staterents regard-a ing.hcR ' blankand its revisions are substantiated Ly the 4 I;CR ' blank' documentation p'ckage, there appears to be no a 9 5 factual basis on which to substantiate ' blank's' claim that 6 another revision to NCR ' blank' was made in ' blank' 1981, 7 more than ' blank' after the corrective action was accomplisheh 8 -and months after the' issues were examined before ASLE." 9 So part of the conclusions of the investigator are based on this erroneous information that was given to ther. 10 : l 11 to start with. .l I 12 Another thing: The purpose of this investigation was to 13 j determine whether documentation relative to cracks discovered la in the concrete base mat of Reactor Containment Bui'lding One 15 at Comanche Peak was -altered, falsified or contained forged 16 signatures, so apparently this alleger on March 8, 1983, 8- [ 1-alleged that there had been falsification of documentation. i l 13 _ They went through here and for various reasons decided that I 19 that was'not true. I i i I-20 As I stated, I think their report was deficient in i several ways. I've got little yellow tags on here for you 2, ..i that'have notes on them to point you to specific page's. One' i 22 23 think that's in question in my mind on page 7 is what the j i investigator looked at. It states, for instance, that g records disclosed that the NCR such-and-such which was 25 l l 6

153 1 originally submitted on such-and-such was revised on three l i' 2 occa'siens. That's not correct. It was revised on four 3 cccasions and, in fact, there were two Rcvisicn l's anc t:.at's l 4 in the record. 5 It's not clear to me from this report--I would assume 6 that they saw the originals--I mean the original documents 7 that were signed by the people and so forth. t 9 Another thing that was not noted is that the concretc 9 ' pour card for this particular pour was lost, and this is I i. l documented. I have a copy of the document here. It was 10 h ad.-itted into evidence in cur hearings. The concrett pour I I 12 card for this was lost. It's also interesting to note that 13 l the original nonconformance report where the compressive i 14 strength tests on this particular pour were done was lost, was not available for file. I don't have a complete package 15 here--there are pages missing from this report even; I don't ' 16 i i have all the pages even, and I've indicated this in that, to o'. j-l 1

S. VIETTI:

We have access to those reports. l MS. ELLIS: Y'all could find these, I know. On page 9 39 i there's a note that says, "Due to ' blank '--the alleger's-- i ~$ 20 l request for confidentiality of a personal nature of his l 21 ~ ' blank' 1983 conversation with ' blank', no interview of . blank' was conducted." This is something that I'd feel a l 23 l lot better if y'all locked into as I thi.nk whoever he was i i i supposed to have talked to there should be talked to becauseI f l ~ ~.. ~...... _. ~

E ~ 154 1 apparently the OI didn't even talk to whoever he had spoken 2 with abcut this. It might be that they might be able to 3 l shed some light on whether or not'there was actual falsi-l 4 fication of documentations. 5 One reason that I'm concerned about this is that even 6-this by itself might not have been enough for me to bring 7 this back up except there's also the other OI report, Q4-84-010, S where on February 28, 1984, OI received a phone call fror. 9 Scott Seaborn, a forr.er brown and Root electrician, and onc 10 of his concerns which is listed here involved cracks in the gj concrete pad at the bottom of the reactor core. I can't read 12 what sore of the others are here, but that particular one-- 13 MS. VIETTI: We have been in contact with them. Let y l re just tell you one thing real quick. When we started com-4 15 piling this list, myself and Dick Wessean picked out in red l i ( all the v1 reports that had been issued to date and then the 16 i j j7 j ones that hadn't been issued Dick went and -reviewed the j 33 information that was available'to the date that we cor.;iled lthelisting;.andwhatwewerelookingforwerenotthewrc..c-39 t 20 doing intimidation issues, which is what OI handles; we were, Ei 21 looking for the technical issues or the intimidation,, issues -that could be implied technical issues. If this guy was-intimidated, what could it have affected, okay, that he had 23 I been working on? So we have access to those reports, and the 4 l technical issues were pulled out and put into our listing, i 25 l i r=, w** -* =+ .+.r... ,,,w

155 1 and our guys have been working on these particular allega-i 2 tiens. 3 MS. ELLIS: So you're familiar with these already. 4 MS. VIETTI: Yes. That particular individual we had 5 interviewed and, in fact, Dick Wessman went to interview hir 6 with one of Larry Shao's people. These issues were discussed, etc., so I want you to know that we have looked. This isn't 8 new information to us. 9 MR. NOONAN: Let ne ask a question. Have we talked to-i 10 this person here? l 33 MS. VIETTI: Ycs. l l l Fm. HOONAN: Recently? 12 ; l i 13 l MR. SHAO: Last week, yes. He was happy with that; he i i _14 g was satisfied with that finding. 15 t 21R. NOONAN: Was this a telephone interview? I 16 MR. SHAO: Telephone interview. It was a very good I i- .i l i finding.

p..

!!S. ELLIS: You think it was 3-21-77. Chay. There's another reason why.I.had tended to pince sore credibility l a. 6 in that and that is because of a staterent that was rade-- and at this point in tire I'm not sure who rade it--but I 1-recall-when we had gonc down to the plant to go through the g plant--I believe it was when Commissioner Roberts was there-- 39 and during the conversation when we were driving around the 20 ' f P ant, one of the Utility people who was in the front seat l 21 with Cormissioner Roberts--we were in a little -van ' th'ing-- they were talking about the concrete pour and Comrissioner ~ 23 I Roberts said son.cthing about the concrete pour, and this _a fellow said sorething about it was poured on a weekend and l l l

157 1 that they had changed their procedure for the second unit l 2 because it had scro problems. And that's ancther reason why 3 I han thought that very probably what we had hearc from 4 people on site was perhaps correct. 5 We've also been told by many people--there's affidavits 6 and stuff on the record that even mention thiu, I think-- 7 that anytir.e anybody wants to get somethi'ng done that they 8 don't want watched too closely, that-they do it on a weekend 9 when there are less OC people arround. This is what we've i I 10 been told happened with this particular concrete pour. l 11 Many of our concerns I'll hand to you in written forr. I 12, so I won't have to go through all of ther.. You need to keel, 13 l in mind the tir.e frame when we're doing these.

156 1 job specifications didn't address cracks relative to any 2' . acceptance criteria. This was an unusual situation because l it states in the documentation which we've got attached l 3 4 here that a copy of the remo was handcarried to Ronald Tolscn i 5 whc was the 2C Site QA Supervisor on April 26, 1977. Just 6 from a logic standpoint, it does not make sense to us that 7 for something that is so common that there's no problem wit',.a 8 you don't handcarry a memo to the head QA guy on site the t 9,. Cay you fin 6 out about it. That just doesn't rake any sansc to us. 10 I 11 i-And then there are no dimensions really other than what, i 12 I have gone into and what are attached to these documents l 3 13 which is also very unusual for NCR's. You usually have 14 dirensions specified very precisely on NCR's, and there was fneveranystudyoranalysisoranything.likethatintroduced 'l ge into evidence about it. 17 l In addition to these two things,.there was another j is allegation which was rade in Inspection Peport 7926/7925, I 19 and this was never investigated by the NRC. This was one, I Ii 20 I Lelieve, which was done by--I think that was done by Mr. I .i 21 Taylor. .g. MR. ' PIIILLEO: What was.the nature of the allegation? 9, l MS. ELLIS: It was cade about the cracking of the floor l 23. slaL concrete. I've got a copy of the inspection report ,4 right here. He was told that this was general cracking of 25 _ _. ~

159 1 l the floor slab concrete in the plant buildings, and one of j 2. the interesting things about this particular document is 3 l. that the definition here of a hairline crack given'by the l 4 NRC in this particular report on page 7 under Allegation 41. 5 does'not sect to fit the definition of a hairline crack whic1. 6 was given in the hearings. It appears from this, it states, 7 Such cracking is usually very tight and when investigatec 8 extends only into the concrete to the most exterior layer.of 9 reinforcing steel, typically.one to two inches below the 10 surfacc." But in the testimony in the hearings, the testi-33 l rony stated--I can't find it right now, what the testirony l 12 itself stated, but at'any rate-- 13 MR. PilILLEO: Are you looking for testimony on the crack 34 in the base rat? i MS. ELLIS: Yes; right. 15 l- .MR. Pl!ILLEO : And comparing that with the ficor craci.s? 16 ; MS. ELLIS: Khat I'm saying is that there have been [ 3-j allegations for years about cracks in the base mat, cracks is in all of these places, and generally what's happened is 39 -{ 20 that the reports that have been investigated--first of all, j ,[' the general cracks.were not investigated at all. That part 21 i was not investigated at all, and it states that in the report. The main part of interest about that particular report g i = is the definition of the shrinkage cracks.

16C 1 l and the documentation which has been introduced indicates 2 to us that it coes all the way under the reactor itself, 3 ! contrary to what the testimony was. l 4 I guess what I'm saying is I'd like for somebody that 5 1 I have so:ne confidence in--or that CASE has some confidence 6 in--to look into this thoroughly and to look at this docu-7 mentation and then to sit here and look me in the eye and 8 say that based on documentation and based on what I know i l 9 I personally and not just what' the Utility told me, I can tell 1 10 j you that that crack doesn't ge ander the reactor. That's 11 l basically what I'rn askine, I guess. 1 12 MR. NOONAN: Let me ask a question. Bob, did you go 13 into the Centainment and look at the base r at? 14 MR. PHILLEO: Uhat can be seen of it. til-you can get I 15 at now is the top, but in general this is all quite heavily j 16 ; reinforced and cracks in reinforced concrete aren't nearly 17 i the concern for safety as they are in unreinforced. Most of j is my background is in -r, ass concrete structures where we worry ~19 a whole lot about cracks because they destroy the stability i i 20 of the structure, but' reinforced concrete is designed in a l 8 ' ~j 21 cracked condition because it has to crack in order to work: i r 22 so it's only diagonal shear cracks that we get pretty 21 excited about in reinforced concrete, and this all appears I i 24 be in a vertical plane and it's at the center of the span. t 23 Uhere it is in this beam over the cavity it's at r-idspan and e e y seem. e,.e. e e.e ,e

i _e_ e _._ e_ 161 1 I that's where you like to have the cracks because there's 2 practically zero shear there; so when you put constructicn l 3 joints in you put them in at midspan because all the forces l I 4 'are normal forces and you have no shear. I 5 Even if all we were concerned with was the beam effect, 6 the ' crack is right where we would want it. I say the thing 7-that really protects us in this is that the critical design 8 stress in this is the accident load that puts pressure on the 9 j inside, and there everything is carried by the steel. The f 10 ' ; ' concrete is given no credit at c'1, for the tension that's 11 l produced by the accident. So the crack is immaterial in the : 12 rest critical loadine condition, and relatively unimportant 13 in the flexural condition which is the normal surface.lcad 14 condition. 15 half the beam is in compression and half is in tension.. I 16 l Tnc compression part closes up when it's loaded. The tension i j7 l part has to crack and if there is a wide crack there, it j 13 terely changes the distribution of cracks. Instead of having ' I 19 a lot of very small ~ cracks, you may have one larger crack, . k 20 but the total crack is a determinable constant in either case. t i 21 .So just in the nature of the structure a vertical c,ra,ck isn't f mu h safety concern. i 22 !!R. SHAO: Technically, I don't think there would be a 21 I conccrn because, as Ecb said, the reinforced steel--we count l 24 l n the steel taking all the load.

162 1 MR. Pl.ILLEO : There's even a further case that the 2 dir.ensioning of this thing was deterreined by shielding require-3 ments rather than structural, so the whole thing is bigger j 4 I than it needs to be structurally.just'to get enough mass in 5 there for shielding, so the stresses are quite icw. 6 MR. NOONAN: I was wondering whether or not we could get 7 in the area, if the area is accessible. 8-MR. SI;AO: The area is not accessible anymore. It was poured in '77. '9 I 10. MR. iiOONA:I: 1; hat I'm thinking is to n.ake one corc I atterpt to go in there and see what we can sec. 11 l 12 { MR,. Pl!ILLEO: I don'.t believe you can get at anything i l except the top--the top they just repaired for operational 13 14 [ reasons. I g MR. SHAO: F; hat do you want to see about it?

163 I we're not that-concerned because it's heavily reinforced 2 I ' concrete structurcs. 3 l MR. PHILLEO: Partofthethingthatyoujustdiscussed-f I this'was an extraordinary pour. It did create all sorts of 4 i They did a lot of planninc 5 . organizational problen.s on site. 6 for this as I read the record, and they amassed a big 7 _ quality control organization for this.one day that ran about 8 20 hours or sornething--I forget how long it took ther.--it-9 i'-was a big deal in which they had to amass a whole bunch o' 10 i quality control people, a whcle bunch of crafts people to jj l-get.this big-thing in. The contractor exercised the option jo of doine it all in one pour. If they had done it in two ] i 13 pours as was the other optien, they'd just have a construction joint where the crack is. y !!R. NOONAN: We'll take the information and we'll go 15 l look at it, he'll con:c back and tell you whether we can do 16 ; g ' j. ; anymore or-- 115. LLLIS : There's one more thing that I'd like to have Ib included--not'necessarily everybody--you said they had a 39 i k large QA bunch of people there. It would make us feel a lot 20 ? better if you would check or at least spot-check sor.e of the 21 people who supposedly were there on that day just to see if-they were there on the weekend. g

R. Pl!ILLEOi The're were tuo allegations on the testing '

24 ! l l cn that pour. One was that all the required testing wasn't i l

164 done. l We could confirm that the records show every required 1 2 test was run, Lut there was a second allegation that some of J 3 l the tests were falsified, and that's been addressed. I 4 MR. SHAO: We'll check to see if March 21st was on a I 5 weekend. 6 MR. ZUDANS: We know that that's a Monday. 7 MR. SEAO: March 21st was a Monday. 8 MR. PHILLEOr That's no longer in contention. 9 MR. ZUDANS: Is al] the information that you-covered l 10 in here? j MS. ELLIS: There's some more here. One of our prob-jj l i jo lets with the hearinos is that we had no expert witnesses I, or anything like that. They had witnesses to testify.

t. c 13 y l had lost touch with the witnesses a long time ago because 15 these pours were done several years before we had the i

I 16 hccrings probably, and we lost touch with sote of the i j 37 j witnesses that would have testified about all this. There Ib have been so many people over c.he years that have told us j9 about it and talked about it. Ke're still concerned about i it' 20 j -{ MR. PHILLEO: Certainly there's no contention about 21 I whether the crack existed or not. It is there. I can't say for sure what the extent of it is, but I haven't really been 33 I concerned. The type structure it is, it could crack all the ,4 way under and it wouldn't be a safety matter. t ,3 ~ l i

g 165 1 MS. ELLIS: Now, you have the reactor and under the I 2 reactor you have the shielding and so forth. You have the 3 retal shield--does that cover everything? 4 MR. PHILLEO: Yes, I think that's part of the probler. 5 in gettine a look at it. There's steel between-- 6 MS. ELLIS: Between everything; it is totally enclosed. 7 So there would not be a problem if there were a leak of 8 radioactive water or anything like that seeping through the 9 concrete because it would have to get through the steel 10 first; is that the idea? f MR. PHILLLO: Yes. jj # l i 12 1 MR. SRAO: I don't-think there is liner there. l MR. PHILLEO: I know the crack goes to a steel liner on ! 13 14 one end. I forget the exact configuration. MR. NOONAN: We'll go back and look to make sure and 15 i I 16 l we'll tell you what we found. I I i'. ELLIS : This is a copy--if you need it--tnis is 2 i 17 I just a copy of all tr.e stuff. I guess you've got all the g jg stuf f on the Richmond insert stuff and the Attachment D and j9 2, all that. There is one additional one that I don't think that 20 l y u've g t that has to do with this NCR that we referenced, .,j 21 but I didn't attach because it was already in' the record,.but ~ 22 it's a copy of the NCR that has this particular one about-- 23 I that the crack in the base rat was contained in. It's NCR i 1 24 l G42. .a l a

c-166 I bm. PliILLLO: I con't tnink I've seen it. 650 is the d 2 one that always cets cited in connection with the base mat 3 l crack. l 4 MS. ELLIS: This is the deal with the Richmond inserts ~ i 5 that was ecntioned in that. Coincidences always bother us, 6 too; like coincidences like the original concrete pour card 7 being lost, like the original missing of this particular NCR S .where this particular concrete pour is included. These I 9 things always bother us. here these are. I've got ther i 10 j tagged for you. 11 l Another thing that bothers me with that particular NCR I 12 is if you'll notice, that--I want to say in all other I 13 instances, but I'm not positive that's true, but I think it 14 is--in all other instances in that nonconformance report, 15 they take two sets of samples. 'There's only one sample in I i 16 there for that particular concrete pour. That locks funny, i 1-l 4 t00-16 Like I say, a lot of tir.cs coincidences may be just j9 coincidences, but when you keep getting little things like that that keep on popping up, they get to be worrisome. [ 20 I MR. MOONAN: All that is associated with that ene pour? j 21 2*. !G. ELLIS: Right. y, MR. PilILLEO: It was the biggest one on the job. 23 1 i MR. SHAO: How nany? I l 1 MR.

167 1 MS. ELLIS: In addition--still regarding concrete but i 2 a little bit different area, different concern--I have pulled' specific prcule:..a with l several nonconferr,ance reports about \\ a 4 tne concretc, and one of the reasons I did this is because ~ ~ 5 it doesn't seem that anyone has ever really addressed why 6 there appeared to be so much defective concrete, how that-7 happened, again, the root cause of these things. Even if 8 they went back and corrected them and some of them they 9 corrected by using' as-is; but why these things kept happenint: - i 10 ' no one ever seems to have addressed that or tried'to look at ' I 11 it, and I think--I d:n't knew whether it will Lc as startlint l 1 12 to you as it was to us when we first saw those, but I thir.). I 13 l that the extent of some of the voids in the concrete and the 14 defectivc concrete, the extent of the probler out there i 15 really surprised us; and I have attachec sor..e taere--that's 16 something that I'd sort of like to have addressed in some j i I way. l i j is MR. Pl!ILLEO: We have addressed a number of these. I 19 don't know if they're the same one that you have or not, but i i 20 we have several allegations on that general area. I guess what I'm getting at is not so much hs. ELLIS: i 33 .t 3 the individual ones but the ones where it seemed like~ therc 22 is so much and where there is such a large problem with a 23 ? g ; particular pour where you have so many voids in it and so forth. 9.a m-mp

168 1 l MR. PHILLEO: The problers are almost primarily wczkr.an-2 ship at the placer.cnt. As I say, all the concrete is judged 3 l by the laboratory-cured cylinders.- It was okay, but there l 4 were sore cases of honeycomb and internal voids and we've l 5 addressed all that have core to our attention. 6 tiR. NOONAN: Was it not considered excessive, in your 7 opinion--that you looked at?' S MR. PliILLEO: No. The workmanship didn't r.atch the 9 general quality of the concrete, but the number of those i I didn't seen excessive for the size of the project. There 10 ; 11 l were sor.e that were inexcusable and they had to remove sor.c 12 concrete in scr.e places, but it was about run-of-the-rill I l t. 13 for--I think tho. concrete quality was quite good, the product b 14 i that came out to the form. The problems were almost entirely l workranship at the fern. That wasn't as. good as the con-15 t I crete quality, but probably fairly typical in that kin 6 cf 16 17 work. l 1s l'i. LLLIS: I've got--I guess I'll just read this list 19 and then give these to you. These are: CASE Exhibit 487, I which is NCR 836; CASE Exhibit 490, C1112; CASE Exhibit 492., ; 20 Cll70; CASE Exhibit 500, Cl335; CASE Exhibit 502, Cl389; -j 21 CASE Exhibit 503, Cl367; CASE Exhibit 506, Cl303; CASE j Exhibit 507, C1294; CASE Exhibit 528, C571Rl; CASE Exhibit l 23. 533, C723; CASR Exhibit 535, C1336; CASE Exhibit 536, C1766;! 24 CASE Exhibit 537, C1766, Revision 1; CASE Exhibit 538, C1766 e 25 0

Now, those are not all of them, obviously, but i 13 I think they'll kind of give you an idea of some of our j4 i concerns and some of the specific types of problems that they I 15 were encountering, too. l 16 In scne areas, even if they went back and tried to i I g 37 repair the void that they had found, I guess. our question is:: 33, Where you have some of the problems of the magnitude they've 39 got, how do you go back and really repair them without just i .h starting over? l 20 '[ MR.

171 1 l you here that I know you'll be delighted to have, and this l 2 is CASE's October 18, 82 response to the Board's directive f regarding CASE's exhibits. This is where we had to cut down l 3 4 on some of the exhibits that we introduced into evidence. '~ 5 The only reason I'm attaching this is because this has listec 6 some nonconformance reports, not just the ones that'I've '7 attached here, but aise some others that I didn't have tine 8 to pull, and also some that we withdrew; but if you find a ] problem with any of the things, you night want to look at 9 t l it a little further and these are sort of grouped as to 10 11 l subject matter so you could find a nonconformance report i you might want to go to and follow up on it.

This was somethihg that in the hearings we weren't really ever able 'to pursue adequately and ser:.ething 'S that has been a concern of ours and our witnesses for a lone 9 tire, but we'd like to have somebody take a' loch at it and 10 find out what-the-Sam-Hill ever happened about the rinimum wall violations. What we're concerned about is that they may jj 12 have gone ahead and closed out these itens without having Il adequate calculations to justify closing out the problem with 34 the minimum wall violations. In other words, we're concernet j; that sor.e of the pipes out there may be--the walls roay be too thin. That's basically what our better.-line concern is g i with that one. tie..;OON.TN :.

  • ..A l

s ~j docupents.that are attached here so that needs to sort of be' included with the minimum wall part here. o g, There's one other small problem here that I want to call your attention to here specifically that has to do witn reclassification.

t 175 1 were upgraded fror-Class 2 to Class 1, and these are 2 apparently RTS in-corc instrument supports; and in addressing 3 this the ANI wasn't really looking at the concern tr.at we'rc 4 i concerned about. They were looking at something a litt,le .. G
