SUBJECT:
Theodore R. quay, Director Project Directorate V
Division of Reactor Projects III/IV/V Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation NEW INFORHATION POTENTIALLY RELEVANT AND HATERIAL TO THE LICENSING BOARD PROCEEDINGS IN THE HATTER OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COHPANY (DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT UNITS 1
AND 2)
In conformance with the Commission's policy on notification of the Licensing Board on new, relevant, and material information, this memorandum calls attention to the information presented below.
The NRC received an anonymous letter dated Hay 25,
- 1993, from "Two very concerned engineers,"
alleging that a "high ranking" Pacific Gas
& Electric
[PG&E] employee put pressure on a
PG&E licensing engineer to alter documents which will be introduced into evidence in the NRC Diablo Canyon construction period recapture proceeding.
The allegation stated the PG&E employee with the "full knowledge and support of PG&E upper management...
has directed
[a named PG&E licensing engineer]
to alter the fire watch logs with respect to problems identified with passive fire barriers that are taken credit for by PG&E as compensatory measures to mitigate the consequences of Thermo-Lag material."
The letter further stated that, "The direction to alter these logs was given at various meetings in a public forum.
The cognizant engineer has repeatedly refused to be a part of this and because of this his career with PG&E is in jeopardy."
The NRC Office of Investigation has conducted an inquiry into this matter.
The named licensing engineer, being sworn, specifically denied that he was ever asked to alter the fire watch logs or any other documents by any
- employee, representative or agent of PG&E, or that any log was altered.
