Thisradiation resistance wasapparently basedongenericdataforPVC.Noinformation ontheradiation resistance ofVinylcelwaslocated.WYLELABORATORIES Huntsville Feality QReportNo.17490-1PageNo.35.0ANALYSIS5.1AnalsisIncludinDataforSimilarMaterials Sincenospecificdatawasavailable forirradiated

Vinylcel, andsincesynergistic effectsoftemperature, radiation, andoxidizing conditions areknownforsomepolyvinyl chloride-based materials, thisanalysisisbasedondataforgenerically similarmaterials.

Thefollowing significant information isnoted:oAttemperatures below200oC,theonlyvolatileproductfromdegradation ofpure,unirradiated PVCisHCl;neitherH2orC12hasbeendetected, Reference 16.oForfoamedorplasticized PVCbasedmaterials, HC1istheonlyvolatilereleasedinsignificant quantities.

Reference 6identifies productsreleasedinsmallquantities (lessthan1%byweight)fromthree(3)PVC-based insulations atelevatedtemperatures inair.Theseconstituents wereCO2,CO,aldehydes, ammonia,cyanidesandnitrogenoxides.oIrradiation alsoresultsindehydrochlorination ofPVCmaterials.

Thisapparently occursatdosesaslowas5xl05radsforsomePVCmaterials, Reference 12.5.2Determination ofRadiation Sensitivit NodatawasfoundforexposureofVinylceltoirradiation.

Dataavailable forexposureofotherirradiated PVCmaterials wastherefore considered.

IThelowestradiation threshold valueindicated inthereferenced dataforanyPVCmaterialwasSx105rads(References 7and12).Thisvalueis20percentgreaterthanthe3x105radsrequirement indicated for40yearsnormalserviceatGinna,Reference 14.Thenormalradiation doseof3xl05radsis,therefore, concluded tobeinsignificant.

6.0 EVALUATION

OFGINNAACCIDENTCONDITIONS TheGinnaaccidentcondition isindicated as286oF(141.11oC) and60psigfor2.8hours,followedby219oF(103.89oC) forupto24hours,and152oF(66.67C)fortheremainder,'of 180days.FromReference 6,itwasnotedthatnoneofthethreePVC'stestedevolvedHC1untiltemperatures exceeded160oC.Theweightlossnotedinallthreesamplesrangedfrom2.1to4%beforeHClwasdetected.

Acomparison ofTGAcurvesforthosematerials andVinylcelindicates thatVinylcelhassignificantly bettertemperature resistance sotheGinnaaccidenttemperatures wouldnotbeexpectedtocauseHClevolution.
