Allegation Review Board:,'"
i'DESIGH DIABLO CANYON ALLEGATION PgVQPg g pg fvB On Wednesday, October 24, 1984, an allegation review panel comprised of Messrs.
Bishop, Shollenberger, Dodds, Kirsch, and Crowley, met to review a number of open allegations, for which Region V has closeout responsibility.
A.
The following allegations, identified by Diablo Canyon Allegation File (DCAF) system number have been determined to be closed:
- 1. The Board found the following numbered statements, assertions, and/or expressions of opinion to be so generalized, unsubstantiated, and lacking in reasonableness, competency, or materiality as to not indicate a substantial or credible problem in connection with NRC licensed activities.
Accordingly, the Board did not consider them "allegations" warranting further Agency attention.
667 799 854 1006 732 810 858 1018 760 820 921 1110 798 853 980 1115 1251 1261 1274
- 2. The Board found the following numbered statements, complaints, or concerns to be "allegations", but, that they were either substantially duplicative of earlier resolved allegations, or they were rebuttals which presented no significant new facts:
669 706 710 714 722 859 1093 1112 1252 1256 1437 1462 703 707 711 717 723 935 1095 1113 1253 1260 1457 1464 704 708 712 720 744 947 1098 1114 1254 1262 1458 1471 705 709 713 721 837 948 1100 1244 1255 1263 1460
- 3. Based on review of the licensee's response contained in PG&E letter DCL-84-328, the board has determined that, for the following numbered allegations, the response appears to have adequately addressed the issues and, therefore, these allegations require no further Agency action:
392 465 772 800 881 909 932 986 393 513 775 811 882 916 942 987 394 571 777 823 883 918 952 989 405 635 783 860 884 928 953 998 406 759 784 867 886 931 969 1007 1035 1206 1286 1036 1207 1289 1090 1208 1344 1202 1220 1364 1205 1285 8502150523 841031 PDR ADOCN 05000275 8

ALLEGATION NO.
1302 CHARACTERIZATION ESD 264 merged QC and production records which compromised QC independence.
BOARD ACTION The alleger states that section 5 of ESD-264 institutionalized a merger of QC and production records in that both organizations had access to the process
- sheet, which was attached to the work package.
The staff has reviewed ESD-264, in particular Section 5, and finds:
(1) ESD-264 was properly approved by Pullman and licensee management, as required; (2) Section 5.1 provides for QA/QC and ANI approval of the process sheet; (3) Section 5.2 provides an 'information only'opy to the rod room; (4) Section 5.3 provides for QA verification of the latest revisions of referenced drawings and procedures, and issuance of the process sheet to the crafts and/or engineering; (5) Section 5.4 provides controls to assure that the craft returns all process sheets to a designated location prior to the end of shift (to preclude loss of the process sheet);
(6) Section 5.5 provides for QA verification of compliance with section 5.4; (7) Section 5.6 provides for QA sorting of completed process sheets and those not completed, for reissue; (8) Section 5.7 provides for filing of completed process sheets.
- Thus, the staff does not consider that these controls in any way compromised QC's independence, as alleged.
- Further, the staff considers the controls provided by ESD-264, Section 5, to be appropriate and responsible.
No further action is required.
The Board considers this allegation to be closed.

ALLEGATION NO.:
1436 CHARACTERIZATION:
The discovery of foreign manufactured plate steel by PG&E was not reported to the NRC.
BOARD ACTION:
The staff has determined that PG&E intends to effect a "buy American first" philosophy and has effected this philosophy by including such requirements in the Diablo Canyon contract specifications as a standard
'boiler plate'equirement.
PG&E does on occasion purchase steel shapes manufactured by foreign suppliers in the event that an American manufactured unit is not readily available from a supplier, on the Approved Suppliers List, due to unacceptable lead time or stock availability.
These deviations from Contract Specification requirements are routinely documented and approved on a case-by-case basis.
Even though a steel
- shape, manufactured by a foreign supplier, may be purchased, the steel is subjected to the same quality requirements as would be an American manufactured steel shape (e.g.; Certified Material Test
- Report, QA reviews of documentation, etc.).
- Thus, the staff considers that the purchase of foreign manufactured steel was responsibly controlled by the licensee and does not represent a situation of any safety significance.
Regarding the alleged failure to report the use of foreign manufactured steel shapes to the NRC, the staff finds that regulatory requirements do not require the licensee to report such instances to the NRC.
The Allegation Review Board considers this allegation to be acceptably resolved and closed.
No further action is required.
