Verification of Independence for Technical Reviewers Region V inspectors continued to evaluate the independence of 'IDVP technical reviewers.
The purpose of this program is to assure that the individuals performing the IDVP will provide an objective, dispassionate technical judgement, based'soley on technical merit.
The following factors were considered in evaluating the question of independence:
1)
Whether the individuals involved had been previously hired by PG&E or Bechtel Power Corporation (BPC) to do similar design wor '
.
-2-2)
Whether any individual involved had been previously employed by PG&E or BPC (and the nature of the employment).
3)
Whether the individual owns or controls significant amounts of PG&E or BPC stock.
4)
Whether members of the present household of individuals involved are employed by PG&E or BPC.
5)
Whether any relatives are employed by PG&E or BPC in a management capacity.
To verify that the individual participants meet the established independence criteria the staff has reviewed conflict of interest statements, reviewed resumes, and confidentially interviewed participants.
The following is a summary of that effort.
a.
Conflict of Interest Statements The Region V inspectors reviewed conflict of interest statements of TES participants (20 statements) who have been assigned to the program since June 1,1982.
The conflict of interest statements of participants assigned prior to June 1,~1982 were evaluated previously. These 20 statements included statements of six individuals employed by consultants to TES. The organizations that these individuals represent are: J. W. Wheaton Technology; Hanse, Holley, Biggs, Inc. ; Alexander Kusko, Inc.; and Foster-Miller Associates. The conflict of interest statements signed by these individuals indicated that none of the individuals have any significant past or present involvement with PG&E or Diablo Canyon.
The conflict of interest statements did not include Bechtel Power Corporation.
TES plans to revise '.ne statements, adding Bechtel, and have the participants sign the revised statements.
In addition to the conflict of interest statements of the TES individuals, the Region V inspectors reviewed the conflict of interest statements of the Stone & Webster participants in the IDVP.
Sixty-six conflict of interest statements were reviewed which included all of the Stone & Webster participants with the exception of two individuals whose statements were not available at the time of the review. 'The conflict of interest statements signed by these individuals indicated that none of the individuals have any significant past or present involvement with PG&E or Diablo Canyon.
Similar to the TES conflict of interest statements, the Stone & Webster statemets did not include Bechtel; the statements will be revised to include Bechtel and will be resigned by the Stone & Webster participants.

b.
Resumes The professional resumes of key TES and Stone & Webster participants have been reviewed to give additional information regarding the question of independence. This effort included 14 resumes of TES personnel assigned to the program since June 1, 1982 (including consultants) and 36 resumes of Stone &
Webster personnel. The resumes indicated no employment history with either PG&E or Bechtel.
Additionally, the resumes were used to esaiua'te tne professional experience and competence of the participants.
The inspectors concluded that the TES and Stone & Webster individuals involved in the IDVP are competent and experienced in the matt'er's under review.
.
c.
Confidential Interviews
~
To further evaluate the question of. independence, the inspectors selected key participants in the IDVP and conducted confidential interviews with them. This effort included interviews ~with four TES personnel assigned to the program since June 1, 1982 and nine Stone & Webster personnel.
In' addition, twelve TES.
personnel assigned prior to June 1, 1982 were interviewed as discussed in paragraph 3.a of this, report.
In addition to the question of independence, the line of questioning included the possibility of pressure being applied to suppress findings.
Based on these interviews, the staff concluded that there is no conflict of interest between the participants in the IDVP and PG&E and Bechtel, and the participants feel no pressure to suppress possible findings.
3.
Examination of Corporate Financial independence a.
Teledyne Engineering Services (TES)
At the request of the NRR staff, the inspector questioned Teledyne personnel regarding potential conflict of interest regarding Bechtel Power Corporation and examined related Teledyne contractual documentation to verify the independence of Teledyne from Bechtel.
The inspector interviewed twelve lead personnel of the IDVP at Teledyne. All of these personnel stated that they perceived no problem for them in signing a " statement regarding potential or apparent conflicts of interest" which included Bechtel as well as PG&E.
However, some of the individuals also stated that they had worked on Bechtel contracts in the past or were currently involved in one or more Bechtel contracts although none of this other work was related to PG&E.
Based on these discussions the inspector determined that four Teledyne personnel were currently working on other Bechtel projects. These projects are described below:
-
.
r
..
-4-Project Scope and Contracting Office 3831 IE Bulletin 79-14 Pipe reanalysis for Davis-Besse - Bechtel, Gaithersberg 5282 Control rod drive design analysis for Limmerick - Bechtel, San Francisco 5504 Das Island LNG tank failure anlysis -
Bechtel, Great Britain Ltd.
5534 Acceptance criteria development for high strengh bolts for Palo Verde -
Bechtel, Los Angeles 5571 Testing of concrete anchor bolts, generic - Bechtel, San Francisco The inspectors discussed these projects and the extent of TES Bechtel business with the TES IDVP Project Manager and TES Controller.
This disucssion and review of the TES computer print-out of current projects confirmed that TES is currently involved only in the five projects listed above with Bechtel.
The inspectors also observed that at_ this time TES has 254 projects of which approximately, 244.are active.
In FY 1981 TES had a total of 261 projects of which.five were with Bechtel while in FY 1980 TES had seven Bechtel projects.
The TES billing to Bechtel for these projects was.$1,824,000 in FY 1980 and $1,234,000 in FY 1981.
The total Teledyne Corporation, business for FY 1981 was $3,237,600,000.. Although the company has a policy to not reveal division totals the inspectors estimate that the TES total annual business is between $20,000,000 and-
$40,000,000.
b.
Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation
,
l Similiar inspector interviews with the Stone and Webster Project Manager and Assistant Engineering Manager indicated that there were no contracts or financial connection between Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation and Bechtel.
4.
IDVP procedures and implementation The inspector examined Stone and Webster IDVP related procedures in conjection with the Phase II program plan, reviewed work in progress, and interviewed Stone and Webster personnel to verify that appropriate procedures were developed and implemented consistent with regulatory
,
'
requirements, and that the procedures were being followed.
The following procedures were examined.
