s. j -- 1 100 INTRODUCTION -l 1.1' Background j During the summer of 1986, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory J Commission (NRC) began a. review of concerns relating to the' i adequacy of construction practices.at the Tennessee Valley d O Authority's (TVA) Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN)., The review 3

     $                                                              identified that many of the concerns centered on potential                     q L                                                              damage to electrical" cables due to alleged improper or                       ;
     ,j                                                             inadequate cable.insta11ation practices. Accordingly,'the NRC ~               !
       -                                                            performed a comprehensive review to' determine if significant                 1

1' Since TVA's Sequoyah (SQN) and WBN plants are based on the same' -l j overall' design,c the NRC extended the evaluation of the cable j installation concerns to the SQN plant. The Technical J j Evaluation Report (TER) describing the NRC evaluation, I { conclusions,.and recommendations regarding the concerns relating l to potential abuse of electrical cable from installation j i practices at SQN was provided,to TVA via reference 1. ;i 4 Y TVA performed an extensive and' comprehensive evaluation'of.those a SQN issues for which the TER determined' implementation was" ' required prior to startup of that plant (reference 2). These 3 issues were successfully resolved at SQN and its cable ~j JE installation practices in these' areas were demonstrated to have j resulted in adequate cable installation (reference 3). j %y s i As a result of generic reviews.of the Condition Adverse to I

     !                                                              Quality Reports (CAQRs) issued to document the potential-f                                                             conditions at SQN, these same cable installation concerns have i                                                              been identified at Browns' Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN).

in In order to evaluate the extent to which these concerns-applied' l to BFN and to determine whether significant damage' had occurred-

      }-                                                            to cables during their installation, TVA implemented an a                                                              individual indepth review on BFN. This report provides the evaluations, conclusions, and recommendations from this review                i for resolution of the=BFN specific cable installation concerns.

1.2 Purpose The BFN evaluation was performed to determine if significant cable abuse had occurred during installation. The plan was specifically intended to address the following: l i Determine if significant differences existed between the cable installation practices and procedures utilized.in the construction of BFN and those utilized in the' industry during - I the time period of BFN's construction. Perform plant walkdowns to review specific installation L practices and assess the overall' quality of the cable l< installation. 1' , j ,dq 1 DNE - 0495e q d ~. .

      ):

Establish, as necessary, a BFN corrective action program for resolution of the cable installation concerns. El 1.3 Approach

 ,d j                             The issues of pullbys, jamming, and vertical cable supports were j                              resolved at SQN by performing direct current high potential i                             tests on a selected number of installed cables. During this
     ;                              testing, several insulation breakdowns occurred at high voltages

( ranging from 7.5 to 10.8 kV dc. Subsequent testing at the University of Connecticut's Electrical Insulation Research 1 Center (Reference 20) and Wyle Laboratories (References 20 and

21) demonstrated that cables with insulation defects similar to those discovered in the failed cables were in fact in a-serviceable condition and could perform their intended function during the design basis accident. This raised serious questions regarding the validity of high potential tests on installed cables. Futhermore, the NRC Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, following its review of the SQN test pro: ram, stated
                                   ".  .  . we recommend against the continued use of high-voltage testing of installed low-voltage cables" (reference 4).

Accordingly, TVA determined that the approach for resolution of i 'the BFN cable' installation concerns should be initially based

 'ij                               upon inspection and analysis. Forming an integral element in i                              this program would be the extensive calculations, field inspections, and results of tests performed at SQN.            In order to j]                            determine the extent to which the BFN installation is enveloped
      !                            by the SQN test program. TVA performed the following:

4 A walkdown of the TVA cable installation requirements which existed during the construction of BFN for comparison against

      ,                                the requirements which existed in the industry during that time period as well as at SQN during its cable installation (reference 5).

A review of the cable materials and constructions utilized in safety-related applications at BFN. Special consideration was given to the cables durability or susceptibility with respect to the types of damage postulated in the TER. This review includes a comparison of the BFN cables with SQN cables, and their associated properties. The purpose of this review was to determine whether the BFN cables were more, less, or equally susceptible to installation damage when compared with the SQN cables, which were demonstrated to not have incurred installation damage (reference 6). l l

  • A review of selected representative cable installations to
      ,                                examine whether any damage had occurred and to assess the

! d _ relative difficulty which the conduit configuration presented . to the cable installation (Reference 7). This walkdown was l { also intended to prtaide a basis for comparison of the j as-installed cable configuration at BFN with that previously

  ~j analyzed and/or tested at SQN.

j The review of cable installation requirements (reference 5) j concentrated on the period.from issuance of'the BFN construction permit in May 1967 to the time that the three BFN units were brought on line in 1973, 1974, and 1976, respectively. This report recognized that for the cable' installation issues of concern, the BFN 1 installation procedures were generally silent. The sole exception was sidewall pressure for which a limitation of 100 lb/ft was stated in January 1973. However, this requirement would have had little impact on BFN, as cable installation was vir+unlly complete on units ' 1 and 2 by that time. In the area of cab)? pull tension, the industry recognized limit of .008 lb/cir i.41 was 1;entified in TVA requirements documents prior to the beginning of BFN construction. Monitoring of pull tension became mandatory la 1923; however, this was subsequent to the majority of BFN units 1 and 2 cable pulling. Although cable pull tension is not a specific area of concern, adherence to this requirement could help alleviate concerns such as pullby, sidewall pressure, and jammir.g damage. This review has identified what today might be considered a lack of proper requirements. The purpose, however, was to compare BFN against the requirements which existed at the time of its l construction. To accomplish this a detailed review of industry l standards and manufacturers installation recommendations was

      ,                                        performed.

indicated in the title, the scope of this publication focused on the installation of underground cables including buried cables, cables l , installed in ducts, pipe-type cables and submarine cables. The I discussions on installation of cables in ducts and pipe-type cables a M . include the considerations of cable sidewall pressure, cable jam i l' ratio and cable bend radius. These parameters appear to have been. l developed specifically for the installation of paper-lead cables.in d underground ducts and pipes. This conclusion is supported by the

         .i                                                          numerous cautions, contained in the installation sections,.'regarding

.A the earliest cable manufacturer handbooks. This manual, which. 3j . addresses the'installati'on of' cable in' duct"s and conduits, provides WJ- ' guidance for cable sidewall pressure and bend radius. It is silent 1 on the other cable installation issues and particular notice is taken j of the lack of consideration of cable-jamming. d  ; j In the late 1960s a working group was formed on Wire and Cable j j Systems in the Station Design Subcommittee of the Power Generation i Committee of the IEEE Power Engineering Society. The work of this group would eventually be published as IEEE Standard 422-1977, "IEEE Guide for the Design and Installation of Cable Systems in Power Generating Stations." A draft version of that document was'made

      ,j                                                             available in November 1970 and subsequently presented at the 1971 IEEE Winter Power Meeting (reference 11). While again relating the industry recognized concerns on cable pull tension and sidewall pressure, with minor discussions on raceway bend radii, it contains no mention of or guidance for the remaining BFN installation concerns. This is especially noteworthy as it is in the time period of the major cable pulling activities at BFN.-                                '!

In 1971, IEEE Standard.336 was issued. Although it's. title is  ;

ehanging industry philosophy and provides recommendations for cable pull tension, sidewall pressure, jamming, bend radius and vertical cable supports. No guidance or cautions are provided for cable pullbys or pulls around condulets or through flexible conduits. O The publications issued in the early 1980s reflect the state-of-the-art in cable installation today. This includes considerations of cable pull tension, sidewall pressure, jamming, vertical cable supports and bend radius. It is evidenced in the 1982

       ,                                                     Eaton Cable Installation Guide (reference 17) and the 1984 initial issue of IEEE 690 "IEEE Standard for the Design and Installation of Cable Systems for Class 1E Circuits in. Nuclear Power Generating Stations." It is noted, however, that while IEEE 690 represents the first industry consensus standard to address cable jamming, it does so only in its appendix which is not actually part of the standard itself. The Okonite " Installation Practices for Cable Raceway Systems" (reference 15) issued in 1982 contains the most comprehensive review of installation practices found in this review.

In addition to the concerns addressed in the two guides discussed in l this paragraph, it includes specific prohibitions on cable pullbys and pulling around 90 degree condulets. It represents, however, the

j From this review it can be seen that when BFN was constructed, there 1 did exist general industry guidance concerning cable pull tension and bend radius. The issue of cable sidewall pressure had been addressed, but there was little specific guidance. Cable jamming and vertical cable supports had not been identified as concerns for generating station cables and no requirements or recommendations existed concerning cable pullbys or pulling cable around 90-degree condulets and through mid-run flexible conduit. Specific guidance.in these areas did not appear until the late 1970s, years after BFN  ! commercial operation, and many of the issues still lack specific l guidance and/or industry consensus support. It is believed that ' these issues were adequately addressed, as was the case at BFN, by the use of a trained and experienced workforce. This review could find no basis for considering many of the cable installation concerns to have been industry practice around 1970, the. ,

     ,                                 time of major activity in BFN cable pulling. Nor was any basis found        j
  ;f                                   for concluding that the later requirements were determined by the 4                                   industry to require backfit on previous plants. Nevertheless, each
  /    '

of these issues and their relationship to BFN, has been individually addressed in section 5.0 of this report. j The secondary purpose of the review of cable installation a requirements was to determine the similarity of procedures utilized 3 ' in the construction of BFN and SQN. The results (reference 5)' indicate that cables at both BFN and SQN were installed with the same requirements with the exception of sidewall pressure. However, the SQN cable issue resolution program was performed without any credit taken for this requirement. Accordingly, from the aspect of cable installation requirements, the results of the cable resolution program at SQN are directly applicable to BFN. 3.0 CABLE MATERIAL EVALUATION A study was performed of the cable materials and design practices utilized at BFN in comparison with those at SQN (reference 6). The purpose of this study was to determine the type of' cable insulation and jacket materials installed at BFN and their relati'.e durability with respect to the specific installation concerns. In addition, the design practices utilized in selecting cable for a particular application were to be reviewed. The information from each of these i reviews would then be compared to the results of similar examinations

      ,                                on SQN to determine whether the BFN materials compared favorably with l                                       respect to application and ability to withstand the rigors of' installation. The results of the BFN and SQN comparison would determine whether the recently completed ~ cable resolution programs at SQN were representative, from a material and application standpoint, of those at BFN.

a ' i [ Tha rasults of thase ravicws indicata that BFN coIpsras favorably.. l with SQN. Perhaps of greatest significance is the fact that BFN does not utilize silicone rubber insulated cables as-part of the general 9 design practice. These cables were of.the most concern at SQN. At BFN they are used strictly.in pigtail extension applications where q they would be relatively short lengths. h , .,- m , w The reviews"indicatefthatemosticable; contracts'were shared'by BFN'and SQN. This would generally be expected to provide for a random Q selection of cable types and manufacturers for each installation, at L either plant. In addition, all cables of a particular inculation material were procured to the same specification. requirement's, 1 ensuring a consistent minimum level of physical properties.. The installed cables'at BFN are therefore considered to be equally j resistive-to installation damage as those at SQN. Accordingly, from j .the aspect of cable material and application, the results of the cable resolution program at SQN are directly applicable to BFN. During this review, it was noted that while both plants utilize the same type of cables, BFN, due.to the timeframe in which it was. constructed, utilizes a greater quantity of polyethylene insulated cables. These thermoplastic. cables are considered to be more 4 susceptible to creep over time at elevated temperatures than the

     ,'                    other widely utilized materials, which are thermosetting. This was
   ?                       considered in the evaluation of the individual issues in section 5.0 of this report.

a q 4.0 CABLE INSTALLATION EVALUATION j A walkdown team was formed to perform field inspections of the BFN j cable installation. The purpose was to' determine if significant

   ,j.                     cable abuse occurred during installation as would be evidenced by the
 'y                        existing conduit configuration and inspections'on selected f                   representative conduits and cables. In addition,.the'walkdown was-intended to provide a basis for comparison of the as-installed cable
   'l                      configuration at BFN with that of other nuclear plants of its vintage
      ,                    as well as that recently analyzed and/or tested at SQN. The results of this comparison would determine whether the'recently completed-cable resolution programs at SQN were representative, from an installation configuration standpoint, of those at BFN.

The results of the walkdown were very favorable (reference'7). Good craftsmanship was generally exhibited, particularly in the use of cable pulling lubricant. There appeared to be a good knowledge of cable installation practices, especially with respect to the installation and routing of conduits. The compact nature of the l plant, the' limited number of buildings containing safety-related electrical equipment, and.the close proximity of much of the

     ;                     interconnected equipment contributed in reducing.the difficulty of
   .l                      the individual pulls. .The installed cable configuration at BFN Compared favorably with that of SQN and is similar to other plants'of its vintage. Accordingly, from the aspect of installed cable and
conduit configuration, the.results of the cable resolution program at SQN are directly applicable to BFN.

L,j Tha probability of cccidsnts ralattd to common moda failurcs from I' cable installation problems as postulated in the SQN TER (reference !? 1) is significantly reduced by the BFN cable routing practices inside 1 the primary containment (drywell). In this area. Division I cables

          <                    were generally installed in trays except where they drop from the tray to their end devices, or where a direct conduit route to the end
 ...i                          device is shorter than the distance required to access the tray.
 ~
                  ' * ~" ' ' ' Therefore,~ ~although Division II cables 'are inst'alled 'only in conduit inside primary containment, it is not expected that cables of both divisions could be subjected to the same installation deficiencies.

In addition, all cables located in the three worst case harsh environment areas (drywell, steam tunnel, and heat exchanger rooms) and required for the mitigation of a design basis event that creates a harsh et.vironment are being replaced prior to restart (see reference 7, sections 5.2.2 and 5.4.2). These replacements will be

         ,                     made in accordance with all presently spplicable standards and specifications.

The walkdowns were performed in accordance with the issued procedure 1 which identified specific attributes for inspection. These included conduit and cable data, accessibility of pull points, use of lubricant, conduit configuration, and the existence of any cable damage. The walkdown, however, was not restricted to only those

    ,j                         conduits, attributes, or issues in the original procedure. Rather

,j the walkdown team scanned the installation as a whole in all plant f areas inspected, which resulted in the addition of conduits into the , m review for concerns such as excess bends between pull points,

        ;                      condulet sizing, and 4-kV cable bend radius. The walkdown results, I                      therefore, represent an inspection even more comprehensive than
     -                         originally outlined.

j Subsequent to the issuance of revision 0 of this report, insulation damage was noted on cable 2ES320-I which was not observed during the initial walkdowns. Analysis of the damage and the raceway configuration led to the determination that the cuts were the result of using condulets as pull points in circuits with large, stiff, 600V single conductors. Their inflexibility, especially when coupled with a high conduit fill, resulted in a very difficult installation at the p condulets. Walkdowns were performed to confirm the validity of the postulated mechanism and to confirm that the issue was bounded. A joint TVA/NRC inspection was made of cable 2ES320-I after it was removed from its conduit to further validate the mechanism. Recurrence controls have been identified. Cable 2ES320-I and its raceway, along with seven other circuits and their raceways with similar configurations will be reworked prior to unit 2 restart. t i i 8 DNE - 0495e I q .

I j 5.0 GPECIFIC ISSUES S.1 ?idewall Pressure 5.1.1 Issue Description I The issue of cable sidewall pressure (SWP) is concerned f'l s - < '- , with'possible" damage'to' cable shielding'or insulation due' to excessive radial force exerted on the insulation and

jacket of a cable at a bend point, during pulling operations. A detailed description of sidewall pressure requirements, contributing factors and failure mechanisms is provided in paragraph 5.1.1 of the Cable Issues Walkdown Report (Reference 7).

This issue has been addressed at BFN, primarily by the j walkdown effort which observed conduit and cable

        ,                                                                   installations. The effort determined the extent or possibility of cable damage due to sidewall pressure.       In addition, a comparison of installation requirements and cable insulation and jacket materials, between BFN and SQN plants, was performed to assess the applicability of J                                                                      SQN calculation results to BFN. The calculations

      ;                                                                     significantly between various cable types and 3                                                                         constructions. Earlier Ilmits for sidewall pressure, established by cable manufacturers and the industry, have been significantly increased. TVA has performed i

independent tests to determine sidewall pressure limits for the types of cables used in their Nuclear Program. These resulte are documented in TVA QA Record " Cable Sidewall Bearing Pressure Tests" (Reference 22). The TVA tests have verified relatively high limits are acceptable for cables used at BFN. The results of the Cable Issues Walkdown Report indicate that the possibility of damage to cables installed at BFN due to excessive sidewall pressure ic not of concern. The walkdown evidence indicates good workmanship as

configurations were similar in severity to those analyzed in the SQN SWP calculations. Calculations performed on the worst-case observed conduits at BFN indicated that allowable SWP was not exceeded.

The issue of pullbys has been addressed at BFN by the I performance of inspection walkdowns and by comparison of BFN installation requirements / practices and cable materials to those utilized at SQN to determine applicability of SQN test results. 5.2.2 Conclusions The SQN TER (Reference 1) raises specific concerns regarding the pulling of abrasive manila, or braided i synthetic pull lines, and thermosetting jacketed' cables over previously installed thermoplastic insulated / jacketed cablesi. BFN walkdown observations found no evidence of braided pullropes being used for pullbys. This was supported by the high incidence of left-in-place insulated pull wires. Although the authors of this report do not condone use of pull wires / ropes that were installed with previous cables, it was observed l_ that the BFN practice of using No. 10 AWG insulated wire as pull wire is preferrable to other more abrasive options.

i The Cable' Issues Walkdown Report identified cable: lubricant in more abundance at pullby inspection points than in non-pullby condulets. This indicates that'BFN craftsmen understood'the need to provide abundant lubrication when performing pullbys. In addition,'the Cable Issues Walkdown Report found no evidence of pullby damage.

The TER also states that a cable that stops moving during a pull will tend to have its surface locked into the corrugations of the flex conduit, causing additional stress on the cable when,the pull is resumed.
                                                                              .The TER further states that sidewall pressure is substantially increased when a cable is " pulled under l]                                                                               tension around the inside edge of'a 90 degree condulet".

where damage occured contained a standard format condulet. From this it was postulated that the cause of the damage was the use of standard format condulets in circuits containing large, stiff cables of single conductor construction. Furthermore, it was believed that as conduit fill levels increased the resulting congestion at the condulet opening made the installation even more difficult. In order to verify the proposed mechanism and to bound the problem, safety related cables in conduit were identified to ascertain if there were any which were; , 1 i

SUMMARY

The cable installation concerns at BFN arose from a review of concerns at other TVA facilities. An examination of the evolution of 1 the requirements which form the basis for the concerns indicates that 1 many were not in effect, and would not have clearly been agreed upon by a majority of cable installation experts, at the time of BEN construction. Furthermore, no basis was found for concluding that the later requirements were determined by the industry to require I backfit on previous plants. This appears to be justified by the j l 0 excellent operating history of electrical cables with respect to 7 installation concerns. This is true not only in the nuclear industry

     .M                                                           as a whole but also'specifically at BFN, which' in'its' decade of

[T operation has a reported random failure rate for control and low i q voltage power cables near zero. NUREG/CR4257, Appendix B (Reference l

Mindful of the concerns and cautious of many senior members of the cable industry and the NRC Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, the BFN program was structured to provide a firm basis for its conclusions without resorting to the type of high potential testing performed at SQN. However, it was recognized that the SQN program represented one of the most indepth evaluations of installed cables performed in the nuclear industry.

The BFN cable resolution program was therefore designed to utilize the knowledge and results gained in the SQN experience. This information was applied to BFN, however, only when technically justified from an individual review on each issue. This review 1 included an examination of the installation practices and procedures utilized at each plant during construction as well as the properties d of the cable materials with respect-to susceptibility to installation damage. In addition, an extensive walkdown was performed to gather BFN specific installation information and to provide a basis for determining the comparableness between BFN and SQN.
