The allegations referred to were resolved and closed in SSER-22.
The affidavit which presented the allegations was an anonymous affidavit which also fails to gi"e the name of the Foley night-shift Assistant Manager.
Thus, it appears to be impossible to follow-up fully the alleged intimidation, which the affidavit states was "implied".
Region V considers this allegation to be closed.
The expenditure cf NRC resources to follow-up such a vague concern, wherein the individuals are unknown, is not warranted.
330 Preinspection Engineers did not have adequate time to find and correct problems on hangers (i.e., management only allowed 4.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> per hanger).
The Board considers that 4.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> appears to be adequate tine to inspect a hanger and document identified problems for subsequent correction by the crafts and, also, considers that this amount of time is sufficient to adequately perform th above functions without excessive pressure.
Thus, the Board does not consider the time allotted for preinspection of each hanger to be an adverse affect on the quality of inspection.
The Beard considers that is is management's right and responsibility to set production goals, for both + and production personnel, and to have clearly estab-(
lished actions for nonperformance.
Thus, tre alleged implied threat of termination, for failure to meet the established
- norm, is considered by the Board to be a responsible exercise of manage-ment prerogative and not a matter of'ntimidation, as inplied by the allegation.
The Board does not consider that the further expenditure of NRC resources is warranted to exhaustively follow-up this allegation.
This allegation is considered closed. '

Alt.EGATION NO.
CHARACTERIZATION BOARD ACTION 352 936 The failure analysis on FW-212 was deficient.
Pullman and PG&E's position was that failure of Field Weld 212 was a specific case.
There is evidence that it was more of a generic problem (eg:FW-197
& 212) fT-13).
Region V was notified of the leaking Field Weld on the steam gener-ator nozzle by telephone on March 18'977 (FW-212).
This occur-rence resulted in a special NRC inspection and is documented in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-275/77-06.
This inspection resulted in a Notice of Violation for failure to record and disposition the crack indication on the reader sheet of the radiograph for FW-197.
The steam generator nozzle to pipe weld situation was followed by the NRC and the findings were documented in NRC Inspection Report Nos.
50-275/77-11, 77-14, 77-19, 77-22, 78-02, 78-05 and 78-12.
- Thus, this situation has been extensively evaluated by the staff.
941 PG&E Report No. 411-77.55 (FW-212) has ten problems that indicate the report was put together with gross negligence or was a cover-up to hide a generic problem.
IT-13].
The licensee submitted a preliminary Construction Deficiency Report (50.55(e))
on April 18, 1977, and a final 50.55(e) report on June 9
1977, which was insufficient to resolve the issue.
The licensee issued a final report on March 22, 1978, and this issue was consid-ered resolved in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-275/78-12.
Thus, the Board considers that the NRC and PG&E recognized that the situation had generic applicability and the record supports this conclusion.
That the initial 50.55(e) report did not recognize the generic situation is not viewed as germane to the issue because PG&E was reporting the 50.55(e) item using the information known at the time, taking into account the administrative report reviews and approvals.
Thus, the Board considers that the allegations of material false statements are without mer't and do not )ustify further expenditure of NRC resources.
The licensee addressed the alleger's technical concerns by letters dated May 29, 1984, (DCL-84-195) and June 29,
- 1984, (DCL-84-243) ~
The staff has evaluated the licensee's suCmittals and considers these allegations to be resolved acceptably.
The Board considers that these allegations do not warrant further expenditure of NRC resources on follow-up based upon the extensive record established on this topic. 'hese allegations are closed.

ALLEGATION NO.
CHARACTERIZATION BOARD ACTION 443 444 445 Guards do not pay attention to X-ray screens, and only go through motions on the patdowns.
Security Department overworked.
Security breaking down due to poor morale among guards.
These allegations were addressed by the Region V Division of Radiological Safety and Safeguards and closed by memo from D. Schaefer to T. W. Bishop, dated duly 20> 1984.
Because the files contain Safeguards information, they are filed in the Safeguards Branch files.
The Board considers these issues to be resolved and closed.
446 Hanagement has not informed security what they can and cannot do to protestors.
447 Security computer is unreliable and in last several months has erroneously permitted around a dozen holders of expired key cards to pass through Security.
448 Pinkerton does not allow guards to raise questions about plant security.
449 It is a punishable offense to raise questions outside of the chain of command, e.g.,
go to PG&E Security with a problem.
453 Lack of proper atmosphere inside the containment.
455 Security inadequate as evidenced by a chanting protestor entering the Security areas.
451 PG&E's response about welded ASTM A-325 bolts show that Pullman and PG&E retain gA groups that are unable or unwilling to report code violations.
The technical aspects of this allegation are resolved and were so documented in SSER-26.
The allegers concern here involves a perceived unwillingness, on the part of Pullman and the licensee, to identi.y and resolve discrepant conditions; a perception which is not supported by the records docu" enting nonconforming conditions and corrective actions.
The Board onsiders that this allegation is not true and is without substance.
he Board considers this allegation and issue to be closed.
