10 CFR PART 21 REPORT REGARDING USE OF INCORRECT CABLE RESISTANCE

IN DESIGN CALCULATIONS                                           

                                                                 

INCORRECT CABLE RESISTANCE VALUES WERE USED TO DETERMINE CABLE   

TRAY LOADING AND VOLTAGE DROP OF CABLES RATED FOR LESS THAN 5 kV.

SARGENT & LUNDY STANDARD ESA-102 DID NOT CORRECTLY REFLECT       

RESISTANCE VALUES FOR TIN-COATED COPPER CONDUCTOR CABLES USED AT 

CLINTON. (TIN-COATED CABLES HAVE A HIGHER RESISTANCE THAN        

UNCOATED COPPER CABLES.) THE LICENSEE HAS IDENTIFIED THAT        

INCORRECT RESISTANCE VALUES WERE USED IN AT LEAST FIVE ELECTRICAL

VOLTAGE CALCULATIONS FOR THE AC AND DC ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION   

SYSTEMS.
