Dear Mr. Ippolito:
In accordance with the requests for additicnal information on item 3.1.19 and 3.2.4 of the SER conveyed to BECo per References (a) and (b), we submit the following information on BECo's Cable Penetration fire Stops Qualifi-cation Tests, the recommendations that were concluded at the end of the tests, and additional information on Kerite cables in use at Pilgrim Station.
All penetration fire seals were tested using the time-temperature exposure curve specified by ASTM E-119 using criteria specified in IEEE 634. It is to be noted that BECo's qualification criteria fall in line with the recuiranents that are presently being oursued by the industry and a host of licensees.
Additional information relative to the Kerite cables is provided in Attachment A. We believe this information will satisfy SER requirements on Item 3.2.4.
The following is a summary of cable penetration fire stop testing that was performed for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Unit #1. We have detailed the different types of cable penetrations that were tested and qualified in 0Y their as-installed status along with the engineered fixes that were 9 9l qualified for the failed fire seals.
Be1021oQ$
C'.STON EDISQN COMPANY Mr. Thomas A. Ippolito, Chief October 13, 1980 Page Two Based on the results obtained for all the three tests as summarized in at-tachment B to this letter, BECo proposes the following recomendations for upgrading the cable penetratior, fire seals at Pilgrim Station.
- 1. Wall Penetrations Conduit Sleeves / Cable Trays The As-Built configuration (Reference (c) Sheet II-A4 and II-AS) of conduit sleeves / cable trays that exist at PNPS Unit #1 specified 6 inches of "non-burnin9" Instafoam in the center of the wall thickness. This configuration was tested and qualified in the modified condition as Sleeve #5, Test #2.
Recommendation I
BECo will upgrade all wall conduit / tray sleeves by adding 2" of ;
Kaowool and I inch of Flamemastic 77 on both sides of the sleeve / tray.
{
l
- 2. Floor Penetrations A. Floor Blockout
]
l Typical floor penetrations that exist at PNPS #1 and as detailed in Reference (c) Sheet II-A3 had 6 inches of Instafoam with 2 inches of Kaowool on both sides. This configuration was tested in its As-Built condition (Sleeve 2 & 4 of Test 2) and did not pass IEEE 634 criteria for acceptance for 3-hour rating. The seals were requalified with fixes (Sleeve 1, Test 2; Sleeve 1, 2 & 4 of Test 1).
Recommendations All floor penetration seals of the above As-built configuration will .
be upgraded to 3-hour rating by providing 1" Flamemastic 77 interposed !
on top of Kaowool along with a' coating of 1/8" dry Flamemastic to a j length of 3 feet on the Kaowool side of the-penetration. (See Sleeve l
- 1 of Test d2.) '
It is to be noted that the As-Built status of the penetration had the grout side on the floor level. -If the fire in its conservative form is postulated to occur at the penetration location below the floor level on the Kaowool side, Sleeve #2 of Test i establishes that the seal will qualify for 3-_ hour rating. If the fire is postulated at the I
floor level on the grout side (non conservative), the penetration will need upgrading on the Kaowool side as described above.
OC3 TON ' EDISON COMPANY Mr. Thomas A. Ippolito, Chief October 13, 1980 Page. Three B. Vertical Projected Conduit Penetration Typical floor- penetrations that exist at PNPS #1 and as detailed in Reference (c) Sheet II-Al, had 6" of Instafoam with 1" of non-shrinkable grout on the floor side with 2" of Kaowool on the ceiling side below.
Recomenda tione ,
No modifications are recomended to these types of penetration seals. This recomendation is supported by the performance of sleeve #3 and #6 of Test 2 and Sleeve 83 and e6 of Test #1.
C. Vertical Tray Penetrations Typical As-Buil t floor tray penetrations had 6" Instafoam with .1" grout on the floor side and 2" of.Kaowool on the ceiling side below the floor.
The As-Built configuration was tested with fix 2. The fix included l" thick !
Flamemastic 77 on top of grout, as well as if ' dry Flamemastic 77 over cables in the tray for a length of 3 feet. Tray-l Tes 3 tested with fire on Kaowool side ;
passed the test criteria. Test results of '. ray-2 of Test #3 supported the post-
'clization that a fire on the grout side could lower the fire seal rating, since !
the penetration seal failed the IEEE 634 criteria for thermocouple temperatures )
recorded at the Kaowool surface on the cold side. However, an evaluation of l thennocouple readings (#21, #22 and #25) establishes that the test configuratien will rass the IEEE 634 criteria if the penetration seal surface is level with the siab surface.
Recomenda tions BECo will upgrade all tray penetrations by adding 4" of Kaowool to the existing 2" of Kaowool with 1" of Flamemastic 77 added to its final surface.
General BECo has compir.ted an extensive plant survey of all its As-Buil t penetrations for upgrading as well as surveillance purposes. In order to accomplish the l recomended fixes detailed above BECo requests the review and approval of these fixes as mandated by the SER. Upon receiving an approval BECo intends ,
to proceed ahead with the modifications.
1 On a conservative time estimate we have detennined that these fixes can be accomplished by the next refueling outage.

-Stsne & Kabstrr Engin;sring Corporation October 14, 1980 ATTACHMENT B J.O. No. 13201 SUW.ARY OF CABLE FENETRATICN FIRE STOP TEST 2fG FCR FILCRIM 1
-The cable . penetration fire stops were tested by Franklin Institute. The results are reported in 7-C5159-1, F-C3159-2, F-C5159-3.
The different types of penetrations existing in the . station and which were repre-sented in the test are as follows:
A. Vertical penetration - 6" diaceter circular blockout.
B. Vertical penetration - E= bedded conduit projecting from both sides of floor.
C. Horizontal penetration - Ecbedded conduit projecting from both sides of wall.
D. Vertical / horizontal opening with tray projecting from both sides of floor / wall.
Table 1, attached, presents a checklist as to which penetrr. tion style is represented by the various test penetrations. A pass / fail indication is included in Table 1 The pass / fail criteria is as described in IEEE 634/1978.
DISCUSSICN OF VARIOUS PENETRATIO" STYLES 1 -Panatration Stvla A In Test 1 the original design of the penetration was tested with a ccating of 1/8" dry Flace=astic 77 on the outside of the cable bundles. Saeed on the code of failure of s1v. 5 in Test 1, a 1" wet coating of Flame-mastic 77 was applied to the surface of the Kaewcol and retested (siv.1 -
Tesg 2). This design passed with the maximum back-side te=perature of 585 F.
The test-results of s1v.1, 2, 4, 5 of Test 1, indicate that the worst case conditions are maxi =um cablo fill with the fire impinging in the direction as indicated in siv. 4 of Test 1 For the situations who-9 thermoset' ting cables are used, it is recommended that the cables on the Kaowool side be coatei en the outside with 1/8" dry Fla=emastic 77 for a length of three feet.
- 2. Penetration Stvle B '
This penetration design when tested vith thermo's etting cables passed.
See siv. 3, 6 - Test 1, and siv. 3, 6 -' Test
- for results.
Siv. 2, . 4 - Test 2 (penetration style " A") and siv. 3, 6 - Test 2 (pene-tration style "B") both used thermosetting cablen with r.axinum cable fill.
Gince the penetratica style B passed but style A failed, we conclude style
I 1
I l
2 B is inherently superior to style A. For this reason if thermoplastic 1
I cables are used in style -B penetration, only a surface coating of 1/8" dry Fla=emastic 77 on the cables will be needed.
- 3. Penetration Style C
"*he penetration design was tested with Kaowool and a 1" wet coating of Flamemastic 77 on both surfaces. This design is ry==etrical and tested with raximu= c_able fill, and therefore did.not require additional testing.
If thermoplastic cables coated with Flace=astic 77 are used in lieu of the thermosetting type cable which m re in the test, the performance of the penetration is not expected to change significantly.
- 4. - Dr:etration Style D The tested penetration design incorporated a todification on the grout side only of a) 1" Flamenastic 77 on penetration surface and b) 1/8" Flanerastic 77 coating on cable surface. The design was asymmetrical and was tested in both directions (Tray 1 and Tray 2 - Test 3). Failure occurred on Tray-2 which had fire impinging on the grout side. The fail-ure occurred where the thermocouples were located 5" down from the top i of the concrete but still on the surface of the penetratien. The ther:o-l cougles reading temperatures at the concreto level were all less than i 300 F. If 4" of Kaowool and 1" vet Flacemastic 77 on penetration surface I i were added cpposite the greut side, the aximum backside te=rerature would be well below the failure criteria.
It should be noted that Tray 1 represents the actual position of plant l installation, i.e. grout side of penetration up.
