and constructed so that a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) will not caus'e such failure or injury.

In assessing this allegation, the' TRT reviewed the CPSES nonsafety-related conduit,, lighting fixtures, and the suspended ceilings installed in the control room.

Three types of suspended ceiling exist in the control room:

drywall, louver'ed, and acoustical.

The following list designates those ceiling elements present in the control room and their seismic category designation:

s 1

1.

Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning

- Seismic Category I 2.

Safety-related Conduits

- Seismic Category I

~

3.

Nonsafety-related Conduits

- Seismic Category II 4.

Lighting Fixtures

- Seismic Category II 5.

Sloping Suspended Drywall Ceiling

- Nonseismic 6.

Acoustical Suspended Ceiling

- Nonseismic 7.

Louvered Suspended Ceiling

- Monseismic The TRT also examined the control room ceiling system and pertinent design drawings, and met with cognizant Texas Utilities Electric Company (TUEC) engineers on July 31, 1984, to discuss the specific seismic analyses performed for the ceiling elements.

In addition, the TRT held a, conference call on August 1,1984, with principal Gibbs & Hill (G&H) design engineers (at which TUEC representatives were present) to discuss the design and calculation procedures for the ceiling elements.

The TRT determined that none of the suspended ceiling elements were considered to be either seismic Category I or II; however, TUEC had l

modified the sloping suspended drywall to add more support.

G&H could l

not provide' backup calculations to support this modification, nor could TUEC provide justification f'or their position that the re.maining' suspended ceiling 61ements (i.e., the louve~ red and acoustic elements)

~

would not fall and cause an incapacitating injury to operating personnel.

This would indicate failure of the quality assurance program to ensure that applicable provisions of Regulatory Guide 1.29 were fully met.

N The TRT requested backup calculations fo'r the sloping suspend'ed drywall.

TUEC,provided the calculations on August 3, 1984", along with the calcula-tion packages for the lightin's fixtures, the nonsafety-related conduits larger than 2 inches'in diameter, and the safety related conduit.

The TRT rev.iewed these calculations, except those for the safety-related conduit since they were designated as sefsmic Category I and therefore were excluded from the scope of this review.

s.

l The TRT found that'nonsafety-related conduits that were less than or equal to 2 inches in diameter were not supported by redundant seismic Category II cable restraints. The TRT also verified the adequacy of calculations for the nonsafety-related conduits larger than 2 inches in diameter.

The TRT found that the G&H calculations we're based cn the equivalent static load method, which involves multiplicati'on of the -dead weight of an item by an appropr'iate seismic acceleration coefficient. This equivalent static load calculation did not take into account the influence from the adjoining suspended ceilings on the calculated response. This was significant because redundant cable supports were not provided,for the suspended louvered and acoustical ceilings, and the impact from the accelerations of the lighting fixtures was not considered in any analysis. The ceiling, as a whole, manifested a more comp' lex configuration than that assumed in the equivalent static load an'alysis in that the effects from adjoining suspended ceilings were not considered.

A justification based on the seismic response characteristics of the entire ceiling, which would account for the frequency content and amplification characteristics of the seismic motions, as represented by floor response spectra, is required to justify.the value of the seismic acceleration coefficient used.
