Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards i US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 Dear Sire l This letter is of ficial notification in accordance with 10CFR 21.21 of a deviation to specification. Computer Products has identified several cable assemblies supplied to two nuclear generating .

facilities that do not meet the IEEE-383 specification.

As of the writing of thin letter we have determined that these cable assemblies were installed att o Northern States Power Prairie Island 1 t 2 in o 1984/85 (our immediate castomer Scientific Systems Service, Melbourne, Florida), and o Nebraska Public Power District Cooper Generating Station in 1984/85 (our immediate customer SAIC, Huntsville, Alabama)

We are continuing to review our records to determine if other sites are affected.

These cables, as supplied by CPI, were NOT dedicated as class lE equipment.. Cable assemblies installed at Northern States Power and Nebraska Power were specified on the purchase order placed on CPI by SAIC and Scientific Systems Services, to meet the requirements of IEEE-383.

Testing performed for CPI on cable material received several months ago from Delta Surprenant Wire and Cable, Inc. indicated that these cables fail the IEEE-383 section 2.5 flammacilizy tests.

Additional tests were performed on samples of the original cable, supplied to us by then ITT Surprenant, we found that these cable also fail the test. The second samples of cable that failed the IEEE 383 test are from the same lot as the cables installed at the above mentioned facilities.

We do not believe this deviation affects the proper operation of the supplied equipment, however, the cable material specification does not meet the required safety standard specified in the design.

c e

i l

i If the utility (operator) decides corrective action is required there are several available solutions that could be considered, including applying a flame retardant covering to the cable or replacing them with cables that meet the flame retardant requirements. We have tested (and passed) alternate sources of this type of instrument cable that we will use in subsequent installations and can make available for replacement. 1 Attachment 1 is the test report on the 1EEE-383 test conducted on December 6th for Computer Products on samples from the lot installed in the above listed fa,- 11 ties.

We are simultaneously notifying the utilities, Scientific Systems Services, and SAIC of this deviation.

Sincerely, b-Robert A. Cheek Director of Quality Assurance i

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Cable assemblies used in nuclear facilities require that the cable materials meet the requirements of Section 2.5, Flammability Requirements, of IEEE 383-1974, IEEE Standard Criteria for Type Tests of Class 1E Electric Cables, F1 eld Splices, and Connections for Nuclear Power '

Generating Stations. Engineering specifications for non-1E equipment from our customers have referenced the -

IEEE specification in their documentation as a equirement for acceptance of the cable assemblies. it has been determined, by teste performed for Computer P,roducts, that cable, Computer Products part number 656-5013-000 and 656-5015-000 fail to meet the requirements of IEEE 383-1974, Section 2.5 Flammability Requirements.

1.1 PURPOSE The failure of the cables to meet the IEEE 383 standard requires that a 10CFR21 report be made to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, customers (OEM's) and the nuclear power generating facilities using these cables.

1.2 SCOPE This devi: tion does not affect the proper operation of the cable assemblies; however, the cable material does not conform to the specific safety standards

~

specified .n customers design documentation (IEEE 383-1974).

1.3 CABLE ASSEMBLIES AFFECTED The cable assemblies, manufactured by Computer Products. Inc., and affected by this report are listed as follows:

4.0 SOURCES OF SUPPLY Affected cables raw materials, were supplied by a distributor:

Simeona Electronics Products, Inc.

2790 N.W. 55th Ct.

P/O Box 9846 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33309 (305) 485-4455

( company may have been purchased by Anixter Wire &

Cable and changed location )

Materials were purchased in 1984 thru 1987.

KSM Electronics, Inc. was the distributor suppling cable part number 656-5013-000 in October, 1990.

KSM Electronics, Inc.

6630 N.W. 16th Terr.

Pt. Lauderdale, FL 33309 (305) 971-5900 KSM, Inc. placed P/O FL8573 on Surprenant for the cable required for CPI P/O 65491 for P/N 656-5013-000 Appendix 2 lists the purchasing history from Computer Products Receiving Inspection Dept. for the affected cable raw materials.

-S-

5.0 DEVIATION DESCRIPT!ON Cable raw materials for non-1E equipment are usually purchased to commercial manufacturer's published specifications or internal Computer Products purchase specifications. Such data is normally available to users to judge the acceptability of a produer fitness for use. .

Test data, from Surprenant Wire & Cable, to support the published data sheet specification that the " Cable will '

pass IEEE-303 70,000 BTU flame test" was requested on 10/18/90 (1:50pm) from Mr. Ken Kendricks, Manager Quality Assurance, Delta Surprenant. The routine request was i initiated when CPI received a new lot of 656-5013-000 cable ( Surprenant P/N TD-923/DAC16ACDL), thru KSM, Inc, a distributor.

Data for the internal Surprenant XML-PE primaries used in the raw material was on hand (CPI Data Reference file No.

2-47).

Repeated calls, to Mr. Kendricks dad not result in the requested data. The data requested was not available from surprenant. Several of the follow-up calls were answered by Ms. Brenda Claar, Quality Control Supervisor. Since she could not obtain the data either, and a month had gone by since the original request was made, Ms. Claar offered to test the supplied cable. Computer Products was requested to send a sample of the received cable for testing. A 217' spool of cable from the received lot was '

then sent.

On December 4, 1990, the cable sample was tested at Delta Surprenant, and failed 7 min. 20 sec. irto the test. The Test Report is detailed in Appendix 3.

Ms. Claar assumed that there may have been a change in the neoprene formulation since the cable was originally qualified by the Surprenant engineering department.

The test failure of new lot of cable 656-5013-000 prompted Computer Products to test remaining quantities of 656-5015-000 cable left over from a 1987 lot of cable obtained from Surprenant thru'Anixter Wire and Cable. The cable was tested at Commercial Testing Co., Dalton, GA on December 6, 1990. The lot of 656-5015-000 (Surprenant Wire and Cable P/N LU13526) failed the IEEE 383 test at 4 min. 21 sec. The cable burned the full length of cable (70"). The details of the test performed at Commercial Testing Co. are detailed in Appendix 4. Delta Surprenant had been notified of the impending test, and was requested to send a representative to witness the proceedings. Mr. C. Michael Marty from Brandel-stephens

& Co. ( Local Surprenant sales representative) observed the test.

l l

5.0 DEVIATION DESCRIPTION (Cont.)

The test failures of the two cable part numbers required Computer Products to make a notification per 10CFR21 to t h e '.:, o . Nuclear Regulatory Commission and all affected nec1, utilities involved.

6.0 TEST CONCLUSIONS Based on the two flammability tests performed to IEEE 383' Section 2.5, it may be concluded, that neoprene jacketed cable from Surprenant Wire & Cable will not meet the flame test requirements of IEEE 383 as their data sheet specifies. Neoprene cable currently installed does not comply with the flammability requirements of IEEE 383.

The deviation from IEEE 383 does not affect the normal operation of the equipment supplied; however the level of fire safety that is implied when using cables complying with IEEE 303 is now compromised. Given a fire near the cable, the cable will burn profusely, 7.0 NUCLEAR FACILITIES AFFECTED The identified utilities receiving the above mentioned cables are:

8.0 CORRECTIVE ACTION If-the utility (operator) decides corrective action is required,.there are several available solutions that-could be considered. These include applying a flame retardant covering *o the cable or replacing them with cables that meet the flame retardant requirements. We have tested (and passed) alternate sources of this type of instrument cable that we will use in subsequent installations, and can make available for replacement.
