BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT SECONDARY CONTAINMENT CABLE QUALIFICATION TEST PROGRAM OUTLINE 1.0 OBJECTIVE To perform qualification testing of Raychem-Flamtrol unshielded, jacketed cables having combined conductor insulation and jacket wall thickness equal to or greater than .120 inches to deter-mine qualification for Class 1-E service inside secondary containment under loss of coolant accident (LOCA) or high energy line break (HELB) conditions specific to Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP). Testing will be performed on two sets of pre-aged cable' specimens. One set will be pre-aged to simulate 8 years of in plant service (Condition A). The other set will be pre-aged to simulate 40 years of in plant service (Condition B).

Testing to be performed on these -specimens shall determine ability to perform intended functions under LOCA or HELB con-ditions during the remaining plant life.

2.0 MATERIALS Cables to be tested shall be Raychem-Flamtrol unshielded, jacketed cables whose combined conductor insulation and jacket wall thick-ness is greater than .120 inches and whose jackets were radiation crosslinked with a 2.0 Mev beam. Test samples shall be taken from unused cable available at BSEP.

3.0 TEST SPECIMENS 3.1 Two specimens each of cables aged at Condition A and Condi-tion B will be configured and tested as follows:

3.0 TEST SPECIMENS (Cont'd) 3.1.1 Cable jackets will be lef t intact and will exit the pressure vessel through suitable penetrations.

3.1.2 Cable jackets will be stripped in such a way that their ends will be inside the pressure vessel.

Individual components will be spliced to indivi-dual penetration leads inside the pressure vessel.

_ Thus, the open ends of the cable specimens will be exposed to the simulated adverse environment inside the vessel.

3.1.3 Each specimen will be of sufficient length to be wound for one complete turn on a 30-inch diameter mandrel, which will be used to hold the specimens in place during preconditioning and environmental exposu re.

4.0 SPECIMEN PRE-CONDITIONING 4.1 Thermal Aging 4.1.1 Condition A. One specimen of each configuration (3.1.1 and 3.1.2), while on the mandrel, will be aged at 123*C for 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> to simulate 8 years of life at 66*C, based on Arrhenius analysis of long-term thermal life data.

4.1.2 Condition B. One specimen of each configuration (3.1.1 and 3.1.2), while on the mandrel, will be aged at 140*C for 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> to simulate 40 years of life at 66*C, based on Arrhenius analysis of long-term thermal life data.

4.0 SPECIMEN PRE-CONDITIONING (Cont'd) 4.2 Radiation Aging 4.2.1 Specimens pre-conditioned at Condition A (4.1.1) or Condition B (4.1.2) will be exposed to an air equivalent dose of 1.0 x 10 rads of gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source. The dose rate shall not exceed 1.0 x 10 rads per hour. This exposure simu-lates the postulated LOCA radiation in secondary containment (1.0 x 10 rads). In plant service radiation dose (3.0 x 10 rads over 40 years) is negligible.

5.0 . ADVERSE ENVIRONMENT TEST PROCEDURE 5.1 Specimen Installation 5.1.1 The mandrels on which the pre-conditioned specimens are mounted shall be installed in the pressure vessel in such a way that they will be restrained from moving during the test.

5.1.2 Suitable penetrations shall be made as specified in 3.1.1 and 3.1.2.

5.2 Electrical Connections 5.2.1 The specimens shall be continuously energized as shown in Figure 1, where terminals A, B and C are connected to a 4-wire, 3-phase, Y-connected trans-former, with a grounded neutral, whose line volt-age is adjusted to 528 volts. Each transformer lead is fused at 0.5 amperes to facilitate failure detection.

5.2.2 The ends of each energized conductor shall be connec-ted as shown in Figure 1 and the current ' transformer shall be adjusted to provide a simulated load current of 12 amperes in each conductor. This adjustment is made at room temperature and the current will vary during the test as the conductor temperature varies.

e 5.0 ADVERSE ENVIRONMENT TEST PROCEDURE 5.3 Environmental Exposure 5.3.1 The specimens shall be exposed to the simultaneous temperature and pressure profiles shown in Figure 2.

5.3.2 During the last 32 days of exposure, a high humidity will be ' maintained inside the pressure vessel by introducing water into the bottom of the vessel so that the exposed surface area of the water is the same as the cross-sectional area of the vessel.

5.4 Measurements 5.4.1 The following parameters will be monitored during the test.

l 5.4.1.1 Voltage 1

5.4.1.2 Load Current 5.4.1.3 Pressure 5.4.1.4 Temperature 5.4.1.5 Relative Humidity 5.4.2 Insulation resistance measurements will be made be-tween each conductor and all other conductors in the cable at 500 volts de af ter one minute of electrifi-cation.
