The purpose of this affidavit is to provide information relative to assertions in the Joint Intervenors' notion of "... quality assurance deficiencies recounted by Mr. Cooper..." (notion, item E,18) r l
During recent staff followup on Diablo Canyon allegations I examined several j
of the allegations made by Mr. Jcha Cooper regarding the Residual Heat Removal l
System (RHRS) at the Diablo Canyon plant. During this period discussions were j
held with Mr. Cooper relating to these allegations and other of his concerns j
while employed at the Diablo Canyon plant.
i On page 18 of the Joint Intervenors' motion it is stated, in part, "Among the quality assurance deficiencies recounted by Mr. Cooper were failure of corrective action (id. at 13, 24), deficient approved design drawings Ed. at I
13, 21),... intimidation and threats by PG4E management for disclosure of l
problems to persons outside the company Dif. at 9), violation of internal administrative controls in the disposition of a Nuclear Plant s'roblem Report
("NPPR") (id, at 11-13)..."
The " quality assurance deficiencies" quoted above are similar to allegations j
or concerne by Mr. Cooper which I examined at the Diablo Canyon site - or, as in the case of alleged intimidation and threats by PGGE man,agement,, discussed with Mr. Cooper - as presented below.

are provided in 10 CFR 50.71, maintainence of records, malring of reports, and specifically in paragraph 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(1), as follows:
l A revision of the original FSAR containing those original pages

that are still applicable plus new replacement pages shall be
(
filed within 24 months of either July 22, 1980, or the date of issuance of the operating license, whichever is later, and shall bring the FSAR up to date as of a maximum of 6 months prior to the date of filing the revision.
Operating License DPR-76 was issued on September 22, 1981 for Ofablo j
Canyon Unit 1, authorizing operation at a power level up to 5 percent of rated power.
Inaccordancewith10CFR50.71(e)(3Hi)above,thelicensee was required to update the FSAR by September 22, 1983. On August 23, 1983 the licensee requested the NRC to grant a 6 month exemption to this requirement. At that time the design verificatica program was in progress which resulted in numerous modifications to the plant. The Ifcensee felt i

v design and design bases of the plant. On December 9, 1983 the licensee requested an exemption for an additional delay of 6 months.
The staff reviewed the request and detemined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12 such an exemption is warranted and accordingly the requested exemption was granted (49 F.R. 6422).
In accordance with the exemption the licensee is required to update the FSAR by September 22, 1984, i.e.
one year later than the original date.
Although the licensee requested an exemption to defer updating the FSAR, I do not know of any refusal by the licensee to update the document

The purpose of this affidavit is to address the matters raised in item 12 1
on page 8 in the above noted Joint Intervenor's Motion and Mr. Stokes i
i affidavit.
}
j The item of concern is whether PGGE used the correct criteria for inspection 1
of anchor bolt spacing on piping supports. The purpose for QC checking anchor l
bolt spacing is to assure that anchors are not placed too closely together 1
such that their capacity will be reduced due to interaction effects.
[
j As stated in the Stokes affidavit, the spacing concern was raised in a i
Discrepancy Report attached hereto as Exhibit B.
This Discrepancy Report was i
closed on October 7, 1983 based on a letter from PG M Engineering dated September 28, 1983, Exhibit C.
The resolution of tu s Discrepancy Report was to accept the PG&E criteria as it had been implemented in the field. The i
basis for this resolution was that the PG&E criteria for spacing (based on nominal bolt diameter) assures that anchors are not placed too closely together such that their capacity 1 sight be reduced due to interactioet effects.
(s Therefore, there is no reduction in load carrying ability. Furthermore this approach is consistent method used to calculate capacity reduction in the i

My name is. John R. Fair. I an employed by the United States Nuclear i
Regulatory Consission as a senior mechanical engineer in the Division of Emergency Preparedness and Engineering Response, Office of Inspection and j
Enforcement, Bethesda, Maryland. One of my primary responsibilities in this position is to review concerns identified at nuclear power plants in the area of piping and piping support design for safety significance and for compliance 3
with NEC rules and regulations.
i I received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland in June 1972 and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering j
from the University of Maryland in December 1973. From January 1974 to April j
1977 I performed analysis of piping systems on various nuclear power plants j
under construction for Bechtel Power Corporation in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
From April 1977 until the present I have worked with the Nuclear Regulatory i
Commission in the Office of Standards Development, the Office of Nuclear i
Reactor Regulation and the Office of Inspection and Enforcement as a mechanical engineer and then a senior mechanical engineer.
In these positions j
my primary review responsibilities have always included review of piping and j
piping support concerns at nuclear power plants.

September 28, 1983 J.K. McCall 52.3.6 g,
i Civil Engineering DR on Expansion Anchor Spacing, Shell Type Anchor 45/23/B34 8-1414 Al Isleesion 1.
The attached DR initiated by Charles Stokes on August 9,1983 questioned the use of spacing in accordance with DCM-M9 for shell anchors of 10 times the nor=al size of the bolt while manufacturers specify 10 times hole size as the minicum spacing.
2.
Discussion of the effect of this difference follows:
The anchor length for shell anchors (Phillips and Hilti) is in all a.
cases less than 5d (d-nominal diameter). Appendix B of ACI 349 specifies that the areas to be considered for reduction due to overlapping are 45' sloping cones starting at the enter of the base of the anchor.
,\\
Based on this criteria there would be no reduction
[
required for a spacing of 10d (nominal).
b.
In 1962 Doberne and Eigenson, Counsulting Engineers of North Hollywood, performed a series of tests on Phillips Red Head concrete anchors to determine the effects of spacing on pullout capacities. The reported results showed no decrease for 10d on i" diameter anchors and 9.14d s
for 7/8" diameter anchors. Reduction of spacing by a factor of 2 only reduced the capacity by 20 percent. This reduction is scall co= pared to the factor of safety used.
3.
Reco==endation Accept as is the spacing requirements of DCM-9.
