10.0 LOCA SIMULATION l

The following test will be performed to simulate the l postulated LOCA at the end of the cable service life.

10.1 Calibration Run Prior to performing the LOCA test, a calibration run will be performed to demonstrate system capability. The calibration run will be performed to the transient conditions. New Hampshire Yankee representative may be present to witness the calibration run, if desired.

10.2 Test Fixturing The four cable test specimens, each approximately ten feet in length, will be wrapped around a steel mandrel whose outside diameter is approximately twenty (20) times that of each test item. Each test item will be secured to its mandrel via Sager TY25M Tyraps.

The fixtured test units will then be placed onto a horizontal metal base inside NTS/Acton Test Autoclave No. 1.

The cable ends will be trimmed to permit electrical measurements from outside the test autoclave. The cable specimens will be of sufficient length to a low each specimen to be brought through a sealed autoclave penetration without need for any special connection within the autoclave.

Procedure No. 24843-89N Page No. 10-1

4 10.0 LOCA SIMULATION (continued) 10.3 Test Condition Monttoring NTS/Acton will use three (3) Type "J" thermocouples to monitor the LOCA simulation test. One thermocouple (TI) will be placed approximately 2" from the steam outlet, one thermocouple (T2) will be placed one inch off the test fixturo on the left hand side near the steam outlet, and one thermocouple (T3) will be placed on the right he:nd side furthest from the steam outlet approximately one inch off the test fixture.

Autoclave pressure will be monitored using a calibrated pressure transducer.

The environmental test conditions will be monitored during the LOCA simulation using a Gould Strip Chart Recording System (or equivalent instrument).

10.4 Test Item Loading Each test cable conductor will be energized with an AC potential of 600V at a test current of 1.0 amperes per conductor. The cable shields, mandrel and test vessel will be at ground potential. The test circuit will be designed such that the applied potential will be interrupted if the leaking / changing current exceeds approximately 1.0A. l l

10.0 LOCA SIMULATION (continued) 10.5 Test Item Monitoriqq The test items will be energized as detailed in Section 10.4 during the LOCA simulation with the following exception:

The circuit will be de-energized to perform I.R.

measurements as detailed in Section 5.0 of this procedure at the following test intervals:

1) After interconnection of the test specimens and placement of the sample sets on the base fixture.

2) At the peak temperature test temperature (390oF),

as time permits.

3) Once per day during LOCA. If the IR reading monitored drops below 1 megohm, the recovery of the IR reading to megohm will be determined as a function of temperature by more frequent monitoring of readings within this period.

4) After LOCA, at ambient conditione, while still fixtured in the autoclave.

Due to the duration required for I.R. measurements, they will be initiated at the peak temperature but will continue for the next thirty (30) minutes of the test )

This action would be a contingency plan allowing NTS/Acton to address failure if failure occurs. New Hampshire Yankee will be notified as soon as possible if failure occurs.

10.6 Chemical spray The test cables will be subjected to a chemical-spray exposure based on the profile specified.

Fresh chemical spray will be used for a minimum of one (1) hour at each dwell at 3460F(1740C); thereafter, the spray solution will be recirculated from the pool of solution collected in the bottom of the vessel. The chemical spray will consist of 3000 ppm boron as boric acid, 0.064 molar sodium thiosulfate, and sufficient sodium hydroxide to obtain a pH of 10.5 at room temperature. The spray shall be applied at a total flow rate of 0.63 gal / min, which is calculated to provide a spray intensity of )

l approximately 0.15 (gal / min)/ft 2 over the cylindrical area of the mandrels.

I 10.0 LOCA SIMULATION (continued) 10.7 LOCA Simulation The LOCA Simulation will consist of injecting saturated steam into the autoclave to achieve the temperature / pressure profile. Due to the length of the fixture, and autoclave volume, Acton anticipates varying temperatures internal to the autoclave during transient .9nditions Therefore, thermocouple placement has been designed to demonstrate a general test condition envelope. Subsequent to achieving the transient condition the chemical condensate will submerge NTS/Acton's immersion heater and saturated conditions will be maintained by the immersion heater. At the conclusion of the LOCA test, at ambient conditions, photographs will be taken of the test samples.

• 11.0 POST LOCA FUNCTIONALS Subsequent to LOCA testing, the test specimens will be visually inspected for signs of damage. Next, the samples will be subjected to the baseline functional tests.

Acceptance Criteria The results of the post-LOCA functional tests will be forwarded to New Hampshire Yankee for their review and evaluation.

Voltage Withstand Test The cables will be straightened and then re-wrapped around mandrels having a diameter of approximately forty times the cable diameter. The cables and mandrels will be immersed in tap water and subjected to a voltage withstand test for five (5) minutes at a potential of 80 Vac/ mil. The leakage current shall be measured after five (5) minutes of energization.
