RESPONSE TO NOVEMBER 18,

1977, LETTER FROM EDSON G.

CASE TO GODWIN WILLIAMS, JR.

"ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLIES" This response provides the environmental qualification information for the electrical connectors used in the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, as requested by the November 18, 1977, letter from Edson G.

Case to Godwin Williams, Jr., which references IE Bulletins 77-05 and 77-05A, dated November 8 and November 15, 1977, respectively.

Also, this response includes TVA's justification for continued operation of the facilities without creating undue risk to the health and safety of the

.pub3.ic, This response is divided into the following:

Part I Identification of Systems, Components, and Associated Electrical Connectors Required to Function to Mitigate Design Basis Events.

Part II Environmental Qualification of Electrical Connectors Part III Justification for Continued Operation

Part I Identification of Systems, Components, and Associated Electrical Connectors Required to Function to M.tigate Design Basis Events, Table 1 lists the-safety systems and components required to function to mitigate a postulated design basis event or accident outside containment.

Those systems containing electrical connectors are so designated in this table.

These systems or portions of systems and components have been categorized as being either inside primary containment or outside primary conta'inment.

Table 2 lists those:electrical connectors for each Browns Ferry unit that are inside the primary containment and are a part of a safety system as listed in Table 1.

Table 2 identifies the electrical penetration through the primary containment that each electrical connector is located on, the type of connector, the number of wires to the connector, the system whose circuits pass through the connector, the system component associated with the circuits, and the function of the circuits.

Table 3

lists those electrical connectors for all three Browns Ferry units that are outside the primary containment and are a part of a safety system circuit.

Only those safety systems which are required to function to mitigate a postulated design basis event or accident outside containment where the event itself could adversely affect the ability of the system to perform its safety function have been considered and listed in Tables 2 and 3.

For units 1 and 2, only one type of connector is used inside the primary containment in the identified safety circuits.

This connector was supplied by Physical Sciences Corporation and is an integral part of the penetration.

It has '.g8 pins, has gold-plated surfaces on both the pins and the female receptacles, utilizes a Neoprene '0'ing as a sealing surface where the plug shell and 'receptacle shell interface, and has the insulated conductors potted in the shell.

Both the plug shell and the receptacle shell are metallic.

C" ll I.

0 0

For unit 3, two types of connectors are used inside the primary containment in identified safety circuits.

These were supplied by Bendix and are similar to each other in design:

Part No. 10-214636-78S or P, 14 contacts (2Nos.l6, 12Nos.8);

and Part No. 10-214628-51S or P, 12 contacts (Nos.12).

The types of connectors used outside of the primary containment in identified safety circuits are of various types as shown in Table 3.

Part II Environmental Qualification of Electrical Connectors A.

Ori inal Testin The original'qualification tests (i.e., pressure, temperature) conducted on the Browns Ferry penetrations and associated connectors were described during a meeting with NRC representatives on November 16, 1977.

These tests did not include qualification for the electrical connectors for the environment resulting from a postulated design basis event or accident outside~containment.

B.

Steam Environment Test Based on the discussions held during the November 16, 1977, meeting and on the November 18, 1977, letter, TVA decided to conduct a preliminary environmental test on selected samples of the electrical connector types used in containment in identified safety systems to determine if they could continue to function in a steam environment of a design basis event.

These samples were taken.,from the plant stock of spares and were not thermally or radiation preaged.

Attachment 1 describes the test proce-dures

used, the connector samples

tested, the test facility, the I

environmental conditions used in the test, the electrical loadings

used, and the test results.

The actual test conditions exceeded those that would be expected in the case of an actual design basis event for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.

The electrical connectors satisfactorily passed the steam environment test.

The purpose of this test was to provide a rapid assessment of the performance in a steam environment of the electrical connectors within primary containment.

't t'll

% CW

C.

Evaluation of Connectors Outside Primar Containment The critical electrical connectors outside containment are those that are associated with the main steam, HPCI, and RCIC leak detectors.

The postulated accident environment temperature can exceed the design temperature of these connectors.

These are identified in Table 3 with an asterisk (*).

These circuits are provided to detect and initiate isolation signals in the event of a pipe break.

Since the signal to initiate isolation is set at 200 F and is well below the design temperature of 257o F for the electrical connectors, these connectors will have performed their safety function before any potential environmental degradation.

These sensors and associated electrical connectors are not required to function following the initiation of the isolation signal.

D.

Evaluation of Radiation Effects The Physical Science and Bendix connectors were specified to withstand a nuclear radiation of 10 R.

In actuality, the threshold for damage of organic materials generally is greater than 10 R, with embrittlement beginning above approximately five times this value.

The integrated dose to affected connectors would not be expected to exceed 10 R during the time interval in which they are needed following an LOCA, and the exposure from operation to the present time is extremely small by comparison.

Therefore, radiation damage to these connectors is not a concern related to operation during the next few months.

(See Item E).

E.

Tests to.Determine uglified Life Future Additional Tests)

TVA intends to establish the qualified life of all electrical connectors both inside and'utside p'rimary containment used in safety-related

circuits at Bxowns Ferry using the requirements of IEEE Standard 323-1974, "IEEE Standard for Qualifying Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations."

Type testing will be used to establish qualified life with the effects of thermal and radiation aging included. It is anticipated that this portion of the program will be completed within 90 days.

3.1 Connect the pins of the connectors with wires so as to form a sexies parallel circuit which will give a voltage gradient within the connector as well as simulate a load (see figure 2)

The circuit, shall be loaded to approximately 5 amperes and a voltmeter and ammeter shal'1 be connected to the load.

4.

Test Procedure

-4.1 4.2 Verify the initial status of the penetration connector and the separate connector for voltage integrity.

Megger

'pin to all other pins and shell combined.

Check for current continuity through the connector.

Energize the connectors from a 250 V dc source.

Bring the environmental chamber to the initial condition of 150 'F.

4..3 Admit steam into the environmental chamber at flow condition so as to achieve a stabilized temperature of 322 F.

Hold this condition for 5 minutes.

Record all voltmeter-,

ammeter, pressure and temperature readin'gs at each major change in profile and each hour.

Part III Justification for Continued Operation TVA considers the tests and evaluations described in Part II sufficient to permit 'the continued operation of the facility without creating undue risk to the health and safety of the public for the period it will take to fully environmentally qualify the connectors.

This position is based upon the low probability of the events that produce adverse environments, the supplemental testing that demonstrated that the connectors within containment can continue to function in a postulated steam environment, the short time required for critical connectors outside containment to function before exceeding their design temperature, and the connector resistance to a radiation environment.
