Electrical Engineering Division N3 2301 Market Street March 24, 1986 EE DIVISION COMMENTS ON FORENSIC TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL (FTI) INTERIM REPORT

                    " ANALYSIS OF A CABLE TRAY FIRE" (FEBRUARY 27, 1986)

The FTI Interim. Report, " Analysis of a Cable Tray Fire" at Peach Bottom APS, that was prepared by Joseph R. Reynolds, Jr., was reviewed and the.following comments are offered: 1.0 Introduction

1. ~ The Interim Report title and the " Introduction" imply that the causes of the fire originated in the cable tray. The origin of the fire, we believe, was inside the diver's cage.

2.0 Background

1. The facts presented at the November 13, 1985 meeting at

. the site do not agree with the investigator's statement that the plant fire brigade was dispatched to extinguish a fir'e in a cable tray. The fire narshall indicated that the fire brigade was sent to investigate a report of smoke on the 165' level. A red glow - not a fire - was observed in the tray while they were extinguishing the fire on the floor of the cage. .

2. The initially reported elevator electrical problem, it has been determined, was not related to the fire. High contact resistance within the contactor was the probable cause for the elevator malfunction. No electrical problems were noticed prior to the fire.

3.0 Investigation

1. The AWG cable sizes listed in Appendix A do not relate to the strand sizes of the cables involved in the fire.

A solid AWG wire table was used to match a measured

           - . ,           _          __.,-.,f.., __   -. _ . , .           _      ,, _ - . - .

stranded conductor diameter to a solid wire size. This approach resulted in overstating the conductor size.

2. Regarding the statement on one-side charring, it should be noted that this charring was directly above the cage fire. PECO testing indicates that cable damage due to internal faults /overcurrents occur around the complete circumference of the cable. Charring is indicative of an external heat source. If the heat was generated internally to the cable, one would expect to see insulation breakdown internal to the jacket with the jacket being ruptured at the high stress location.
3. PECO photographs taken after the fire indicate that the insulation and jacket materials were charred but still intact after the fire. The report should state that the complete loss of these materials occurred during removal and shipping.
4. The FTI report describes the materials stored in the caged room below but understates the extent of flammable material. The stored items were contained in as many as 2 of 7 highly flammable polyethylene bags.
5. The intensity of a fire hot enough to melt the 1/8-inch lead shield plates surrounding the filter cylinders would appear to be more than a selective and localized fire.
6. Mr. Reynold's statement that the major fire drop area is below the 90 degree bend in the cable tray suggests the conclusion that the fire originated in the cable tray and not the cage. It is difficult to perceive how one can determine the fire origin from observations of photographs of the fire aftermath.

4.0 Analysis

1. Mr. Reynolds, in his very first statement, has concluded the fire originated in the tray. However, the individual conductors of the cable in this tray were insulated with flame-retardant cross linked polyethylene, and each cable had an overall jacket of flame-retardant neoprene. It has been proven that these materials will not support or propagate combustion when exposed to the following fire tests:

                         '2. PECO D-225924 - Oily Rag, Vertical Configuration.
3. Wyle Labora' tories, Nuclear Environmental Qualification Test Report 4660-3, Full Tray Short Circuit / Overload.

t The.first two tests require that the fire does not propagate and that the cables do not support combustion i when the flame source is extinguished. Both these tests must be successfally passed before a cable can be used . in a,PECO nuclear facility. The Wyle Labs test was a site specific test ~run for our Limerick Nuclear Generating Station. In this test, cables as large as 3x2/0 were subjected to, sustained overcurrents, 660 amperes for over one hour. The only ignition that occurred was in,one location where the cable exited over the sid,e rail,of the' cable tray with its minimum bending radius l greatly exceeded. The cables installed at Peach Bottom do not exceed their minimum bending radii. If

                         -currents 'high enough in magnitude to cause ignition occurred, some other. evidence of thermal damage must be present elsewhere in'the electrical circuit. There was no evidence of damage anywhere else in the affected ETrcuits.
2. ,PECO photographs indicate that the air line below the
                        ' cable tray ruptured at the 6 o' clock position and air was directed down and toward the diver's cage tire.u The air helped to intensify the fire in the cage - not in the tray.                                         ~

3.-- If a tray fire were started by a Nable' arc on the left side of the tray, it would 'have been caused by a faulted

                          #14 or #10 conductor as arcing was evident only on cables of these sizes.         However, Wyle Labs testing clearly demonstrated that sust'ained fault current energy levels iri the' cables of a full _ tray could not initiate a fire. The Wyle Labs test results suggest that thermal
                        ,ehergy levels from an arcing #14 or #10 conductor cable would not be sufficient to' start a fire in the cable

tray. 4 'It is more like y that heat from the cage below and not the heat from~the cable tray above caused the cage mesh to sag and aluminum tray to melt. The Wyle Labs tests showed that the cable faults ca'nnot generate enough heat to cause widespread damage to the aluminum tray. , 4 -

5. Since all visible surfaces above the cable tray, including considerable air-ducting, showed little to no heat damage - only moderate soot accumulation - we would conclude that the fire was below the tray. If the fire originated in the tray, there would have been more evidence of soot accumulation on the surfaces above the tray. The tray and fire-retardant cable shielded the air ducts and surfaces overhead from the fire in the cage.
6. Contrary to the inspection and analysis report that all indications point to what is normal to an accidental cable fire, there are indications from an inspection of the insulation and outer jacket that the flame was from an external source. Flame tests, such as IEEE 383 and the PECO oily rag test clearly have shown that short circuits do, in fact, occur after the jacket and insulation have been burned away, and this would explain the presence of arcing that was observed in the postmortem.
5. Conclusion FTI conclusions drawn by Mr. Reynolds have already been recited in the analysis report. There are no supporting reasons to conclude the fire to be accidental; to suggest it was electrical in nature; nor to place its origin in the cable tray. ,
