AFFIDAVIT OF TED C.

FEIGENBAUM I, TED C. FEIGENBAUM, being on oath, depose and say as follows:

1.

I am the Vice-President of Engineering, Licensing, and Quality Programs for New Hampshire Yankee.

A statement of my professional qualifications is attached and marked "A".

2.

I directed New Hampshire Yankee Engineering to perform such reviews and evaluations as necessary to identify all RG-I 58 coaxial cable applications, both safety and nonsafety; to identify and quantify all RG-58 coaxial cable applications required to be environmentally qualified per 10 CFR 50.49 and to identify an acceptable substitute for those RG-58 cable applications requiring qualification per 10 CFR 50.49.

pg2pog,8%%'yl;a O

3.

The Affidavits of Richard Bergeron and Gerald A.

Kotkowski provide the details and pertinent results of these

eviews and evaluations.

As provided in the Affidavit of Richard Bergeron, graph 15, only twelve (12) nonsafety-related RG-58

.xial cable applications are required by 10 CFR 50.49 to be environmentally qualified for postulated accident conditions.

5.

Based on the Affidavit of Richard Bergeron, paragraph 19, and the Affidavit of Gerald A.

Kotkowski, paragraph 8, an RG-59 coaxial cable supplied by ITT Surprenant is a technically acceptable replacement for these twelve (12) nonsafety-related RG-58 coaxial cable applications.

6.

Although I believe that further litigation of this issue would demonstrate that the RG-58 coaxial cable was and still is qualified for its intended sarvice, I have concluded that given the small quantity of cable involved, the licensing process would be better served by replacing the RG-58 cable in these twelve (12) applications versus continuing the expenditure of resources and time of the NRC, New Hampshire Yankee and others by further litigating this issue.

7.

I have directed that for these twelve (12) RG-58 coaxial cable applications the existing RG-58 coaxial cable shall be replaced by RG-59 cable supplied ITT Surprenant.

. L--

1 8.

New Hampshire Yankee will complete the replacement of the RG-58 coaxial cable, as described above, prior to issuance of an operating license authorizing power operations up to and including 5% power.
