RESPONSE

The CASP system and electrical schematic drawing packages were used to initially identify the 126 RG-58 coaxial cable applications.

This review is documented in Engineering Evaluation 87-028.

The inconsistency in the number of spare cables referred to above was determined to be the result of a tabulation error by the Applicant:

R.

Bergeron.

While tabulating the quantity of cables for each category he inaGvertently categorized a cable as being mild when,.in fact, the review had identified the cable not only as being in a mild envirorment, but also being a spare.

The review procedures described in the May 19 Bergeron Affidavit were aduquato.

The inconsistentcy was not in the review process used to identify and categorize the 126 RG-58 coaxial cables, but rather in tabulating the results.

(Bergeron/Tutinas)

INTERROGATORY NO. 4 Does the June 16 Bergeron affidavit describe any review procedures for the identification and location of RG-58 cable that are not already described in the May 19 Dergeron affidavit?

If so, please describe them, and explain why they were added.

RES PONSE No.

The June 16 Bergeron Affidavit provides further explanation of the review process.

(Bergeron) l ;

-s

3 INTERRQM'LQRY NO. 5 In response to interrogatory 5 of NECNP's first set of interrogatories, you state that "subsequent review" has determined that cables No. FE2-FM4/2 and FE2-FM6/2 were spare cables.

Please describe this "review" and state when it took place and by whom it was conducted.

In what respects, if any, does it differ from the review described in the Bergeron affidavits of May 19 and June 16, 1988?

Do you consider the procedures described in those affidavits to be inadequate in any way?

If so, how?

Please describe your reasons for conducting the "su:, sequent review."

RES PONSE The "subsequent review" was performed by Mr. Thomas W.

Glowacky in July, 1988.

His review was an in-depth clicult review and analysis of the electrical schematic drawing packages for all the identified 126 RC-58 coaxial cable applications, including those 12 cables subsequently replaced vith RG-59 coaxial cable.

This review formed the basis of his failure mode and effects analysis documented in Engineering Evaluation 88-017 and in his Affidavit of July, 1988.

There are two differences between the reviews performed.

First, the Glowacky review included only some of the documents that were included in the review described in the Bergeron Affidavits.

Second, the end purpose for reviewing the specific document was markedly different.

The Glowacky review was an in-depth review of each circuit, including the h.

components within each circuit, necessary for a failure mode and effects analysis.

The review described in the Bergeron Affidavits was performed to identify RG-58 cable applications for qualifica. tion and to assist in categorization.

The reviews performed and the procedures used were and still are adequate to reach this conclusion because the Glowacky review did not identify any additional energized cables.

(Bergeron/Tutinas)

INTERROGATORY NO. 6 Do the electrical schematic drawings that you reviewed according to the procedures described in the Bergeron affidavits show that cables No. FE2-FM4/2 and FE2-FM6/2 are spare cablos?

If not, please describe the reason for the error and any efforts you have made to detect other errors in the electrical schematt:

drawings.

RES PONSE Applicants object to the form of this question, on the grounds that it incorporate s an arsumption that has no basis in tha record of these proceedings.

Without waiving the foregoing objection, Applicants state yes.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 7 Does the CASP show that cables No. FE2-FM4/2 and FE2-FM6/2 are spare cables?

If not, please describe the reason for the error und any efforts you have made to detect other errors in the CASP. \\

RES PONSE No.

CASP does not identify cable nos. FE2-FM4/2 and FE2-FM6/2 as spares.

This, however, is not considered an error.

CASP has designated these cables for use in the Station Computer System and not for use as a general spare.

Determining which of these cables were spares required a review of the schematic drawing packages, not CASP.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 8 Given the fact that you previously erred in calculating that some cables were energized when they were actually spare cables, do you believe it is possible that some cables which you believe are spare are actually energized?

If not, why not?

RESPONSE

Applicants object to this interrogatory on the ground that, insofar as it asks about cables in general, it is overbroad.

Without waiving the foregoing objection, Applicants state that, with regard to the RG-58 coaxial cables at Seabrook Station, no.

See Response to Interrogatory No.

9.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 9 Have you physically inspected all spare RG-58 coaxial cables to determine whether they are indeed not connected to any circuits?

If so, when was the inspection performed and what were the results?

If no,,

why not?

RESPONSE

Yes.

On July 25, 1988 and July 26, 1988 the 21 spare RG-58 coaxial cables were physically inspected and all were four.d to be disconnected.

Also, the 12 RG-58 cables'which were replaced with RG-59 cables were physically verified as disconnected as part of the process of replacing those cables.

(Kotkowaki)

INTERROGATORY NO. 10 Please describe the steps taken to account for the 602 feet of RG-58 cable that have not yet been accounted for.

What are the results of your review to date?

To what do you attribute your previous inability to account for this cable?

RESPONSE

To date the following have been reviewed:

Electrical schematic pickages, CASP, cable pull slips, historical CASP files, the Electrical Status Program and design change documents affecting Specification 9763-006-113-19 and CASP.

This review has not accounted for the remaining 502 feet of RG-58 cable.

We are confident that this cable does not need to be environmentally qualified because all active cables are identified op the electrical schematic packages and/or CASP.

(Kotkowski/Bergeron)

INTERROGATORY NO. 11 In response to interrogatory No. 7 of NECNP's first t

set of interrogataries, you state that 4,000 of the 12,000 pages of electrical schematic drawings contain cable schematics and cable tables.

Did you review only those 4,000 pages, or did you also review the other 1

i i

4 l

8,000 pages?

What information did the 8,000 pages contcin?

If you did not review them, why not?

RESPONSE

All 12,000 pages of the electrical schematic drawing packages were reviewed.

The 8,000 pages contain index sheets, revision lists, general notes, circuit schematics, reference drawings, front views, panel arrangements, auxiliary contact developments, legends, switch developments and three line diagramo.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 12 In response to interrogatory No. 12 of NECNP's first set of interrogatories, you state that Applicants physically verified the locations of the end points of each of the 12 replaced RG-58 cable (sic), as part of the process of disconnecting and replacing those cables.

Have Applicants physically traced the route of those cables over their entire lengths?

If so, how and when was this done?

Did the physical review confirm your review of CASP and the plant drawings?

Please identify all cables for which your physical review did not confirm what was in CASP and the drawings, describe the discrepancy, and state why you believe the discrepancy exists.

RESPONSE

No.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 13 Have Applicants physically verified the end points of any other of the 126 RG-58 coaxial cables?

If so, which ones have you verified?

How and when was this done?

Did the physical review confirm your review of, -.

CASP and the plant drawings?

Please identify all cables for which your physical review did not confirm what was in CASP and the drawings, describe the discrepancy, and state why you believe the discrepancy exists.

RESPONSE

Yes.

On July 25, 1988 and July 26, 1988 the 21 spare RG-58 coaxial cable endpoints were physically inspected.

That inspection confirmed that each of these cable ends was precisely where CASP indicated it should be.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 14

!! ave you physically traced the routes of any of the remaining RG-58 coaxial cables over their entire lengths?

If so, which ones were traced?

Did the physical review confirm your review of CASP and the

, plant drawings?

Please identify all cables for which your physical review did not confirm what was in CASP and the drawings, describe the discrepancy, and state why you believe the discrepancy exists.

RESPONSE

No. The routes of the remaining 114 RG-58 coaxial cable applications were not physically traced over their entire length.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 15 Please explain how procedure FEP-504 provided l

physica,1 verification of the location of each RG-58 coaxial cable.

Would that procedure also verify whether cables were energized or not?

If so, why did it not i

show that some of the cables shown to be energized by l

CASP and/or plant drawings were not in fact energized?

RESPONSE

A prerequisite to Procedure FEP-504 provides that: "The latest approved revision of the design documents shall be used for construction and acceptance of all cable installations."

CASP-generated cable pull slips or worksheets were used in the installation of cables.

Upon completion of the cable pull, the slip /worksheet was signed to signify compliance with the design document.

Procedure FEP-504 verified that the cable pull slip /worksheet agreed with the CASP Cable Schedule - Report A.

Physical verification was provided because the installation document was generated by CASP and the installer attested to compliance with the design document by signing the pull slip.

Procedure FEP-504 does not verify whether cables are supposed to be energized or not.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 16 What is the source of and basis for the acceptance r

criteria described in Section 5.2 of Procedure No. 2483-38N. At,tachment 1 to NYN-8905?

RES PONSE The functional requirements of the RG-58 cable under accident conditions are very limited.

The only requirement i t

is that the cable must not fail (i.e. short to ground).

The acceptance criteria described in Section E.2 of Procedure 24843-89N was selected only to establish a reference point, as is typically done during baseline functional tests.

(Bergeron/Tutinas)

INTERROGATORY NO. 17 Your response to interrogatory 16 of NECNP's first set of interrogatories appears to indicate that it is your position that the 12 circuits in which RG-59 coaxial cable is used will function properly regardless of how low the insulation resistance drops as long as the cable does not short to ground.

Is that correct?

If so, please explain your answer.

If not, please explain why not.

Is it your position that the circuits would continue to function during a direct short?

If so, please explain your answer.

If not, please explain why not?

RESPONSE

The functional requirement of the RG-59 cable used to replace the twelve RC-58 cables, under accident conditions, is that it not fail (i.e., short to ground).

There are no requirements that these cables be capable of performing anZ signal transmission function during postulated accident conditions.

Therefore, questions regarding circuit functionality are irrelevant.

(Bergeron/Kotkowski/Tutinas)

INTERROGATORY NO. 18 on what basis have you concluded that the functional performance of RG-59 coaxial cable in each of the 12 circuits makes it a technically acceptable substitute for RG-58 coaxial cable? 4

, ~ _.. - _ - -

RESPONSE

As stated in Response to Interrogatory No. 17, the only environmental qualification related functional performance requirement is that the cable not fail (i.e., short to ground) under postulated accident conditions.

The acceptability of the RG-59 cable as a substitute for the RG-58 cable from an environment qualification standpoint was based on a review of RG-59 test results documented in NECNP Exhibit 4, Reference 2.

The test results demonstrated that the cable would not short to ground.

See Response to Interrogatory No. 20 regarding the RG-59's technical acceptability for normal plant operations.

(Bergeron/Tutinas)

INTERROGATORY NO. 19 Is it correct to state that you do not know the minimum insulation resistance necessary for the proper functioning of each circuit where RG-59 coaxial cable has been substituted for RG-58 coaxial cable?

Please explain your answer.

l l

l l j l

RESPONSE

Applicants reiterate that the only environmental qualification functional performance requirement is that the cable not fail (i.e.,

short to ground) under postulated accident conditions (see Response to Interrogatory No. 17).

As discussed in the Affidavits of Newell K. Woodward, dated July 27, 1988 and July 29, 1988, the electrical characteristic that demonstrates that a cable remains in tack is its ability to carry current and voltage under postulated environmental conditions and not fail.

Therefore, questions regarding insulation resistance as it relates to circuit functionality are irrelevant.

(Bergeron/Tutinas/Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 20 In response to NECNP's interrogatory No. 19, you state that "cable manufacturer data was reviewed and determined to be acceptable" for each substitute application of RG-59 coaxial cable.

Precisely what information in the RG-58 or RG-59 coaxial cable manufacturer data led you to believe that RG-59 cable was an acceptable substitute for RG-58 cable?

Please explain why you considered the data to be sufficient.

RESPONSE

As a preface, it should be understood that the quoted excerpt was in the context of the proper functioning of each.

circuit during normal plant operations.

In this light, the Applicants respond:

The manufacturer's data for characteristic impedence, attenuation and velocity of propagation were evaluated to determine if RG-59 coaxial cable was an acceptable substitute for RG-58 coaxial cable during normal, non-accident plant conditions.

These are the primary specifications that determine the wave propagation characteristics of transmission lines.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 21 Is it correct to state that there is D2 minimum insulation resistance required for the s1ccessful functioning of the circuits in which RG-09 coaxial cable have [ sic] been substituted for RG-58 coaxial cable?

Picase explain your answer.

RESPONSE

See Response to Interrogatory No. 19.

(Bergeron/Tutinas/Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 22 Do you agree that degradation of signal due to insertion loss (attenuation) and variation in response time due to the change in the velocity of propagation are pertinent parameters for proper functioning of the 12 substitute RG-59 coaxial cables?

RES PONSE For normal plant operation yes.

Regarding operation under postulated accident conditions, see above Response to Interrogatory No. 17.

(Kotkowski/Bergeron) l 1 I

INTERROGATORY NO. 23 Is it your position that decreases in the insulation resistance of the 12 substitute RG-59 coaxial cables would have no effect on the degradation of signal due to insertion loss (attenuation) and variation in response time due to tne change in the velocity of propagation?

RESPONSE

No.

(Kotkowski)

INTERROGATORY NO. 24 Do you agree that the length of cable exposed to the &ccident environment is relevant to 4 determination of its insulation resistance?

If not, why not?

RESPONSE

Applicants object to this interrogatory on the grounds tnat, insofar as it asks about cable in general, it is ovorbroad.

Without waiving the foregoing objection, Applicants state that, with regard to RG-58 coaxial cable in Seabrook, Station, yes.

(Bergeron)

INTERROGATORY NO. 25 For each of the 12 cables exposed to a harsh environment, it is possible to measure the length of cable that is exposed to the harsh environment?

If so, why hav'e you not done so?

If not, why not?

RES PONSE Yes.

The length of the portion of each cable exposed to a harsh environment is not critical to this particular case when the only environmentally related functional performance l

4 requirement is simply that the cable must not fail under accident conditions.

Th'a re fore, cable length was not measured.

(Bergeron/Kotkowski)
