14l:
This document further explains Mr. Leakway's rights to refuse to be inter-l viewed and to have someone tf his choice present to sit in during the 15; interview.
It also advises him that he does not have to furnish a signed i
statement.
On the second page of this document there are three questions, 17l l
Mr. Leakway answered all three questions in the affirmative.
At this time, 13!
to make it a matter of record on this recording, I'm going to ask Mr. Leakway to respond to these questions orally.
Mr. Leakway did you unders*and the document that I'm describing?

have your permission to tape this interview?
l 3l LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.

INVESTIGATOR:
And would you like a copy of the tape?
6i 7
A es, sir.
8 91 INVESTIGATOR:
Alright, Mr. Lea'way we' 1 provide that to you at the close 10l 11l of the interview.
And now, Mr. teakway 'f you would please for the purposes of those who wili be listening to tne comaents that you're furnishing, 12!
would you furnish us briefly your work experience since you've come to work 13l for Med Ed?
14f 15!
LEAKWAY:
I've come to work for Med Ed in 1953.
It would soon be 26 years of service.
I worked under the fossile fuels and at York in the steam 17l t
plant, in which at that time when I started, it would consist of generating, 18[
plus heating the city with the byproduct of the steam.
I was Chief Fireman 19i when I left there.
I went to the York Haven Hydroplant.
I worked there as 20j l
a repairman, first class, and upgraded to Chief numerous times on that as a 21l repairman, and then had the opportunity, about 3 1/2 years, to ccme over to 22!
l TMI to work on the Island.
I'd come over as a repairman, then certified 23l l
welder; then last, almost a year now I gained the job as a foreman.

1l INVESTIGATOR:
Thank you very much.
Now, I'll turn the interview over to 2f Mr. Fasano and Mr. Creswell.
l 3l FASANO:
First, what we try to do is find out events that occurred or your 4
inv lve ent at the time of the events on March 28, 1979.
If you could, 5
6 w uld you tell us about what you were doing, say one hour prior to the event?
7 8
LEAKWAY:
Or,e hour prior? Yes, sir.
We were, as you know, my job consists g
t i
of having both units on shift work and whatever work requests came up or 10l l
whatever emergency repairs come up, we are assigned to do.
At that time, r
11; we were working out of Unit 1.
At the time I was in the office making a work request when the alarm come off.
And I thought it was a test at first.
You know, when they.; aid the alarm come off and then when the 14!
reactor alarm come up that it tripped, then I figured they had some problem in Unit 2 but which I didn't receive a call.
Usually in a site emergency, I
why, we' re on what we call an emergency repair party.
When that alarm goes 17!
I off then we are supposed to corresponds and go down, respond I mean, rather, 181 then return to HP control point and then, for further orders as a repair 19!
party.
In which, they didn't announce that until about right before 7:00 20l 21,l in the morning.
22 FASANO:
One hour before you were up in Unit 1 and you were making out a 23 work request?
24,

[
4 I,
1l LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
i 2!
FASANO:
Alright, do you make out work request?
3 4l LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
In emergency, if something comes up, that there's no 5
6 w rk request already prior made out for a job, like if a feed pump packing 7
goes or something like that, well they would give me a call from the control g
They either will start the work request, generate the work request, room.
g!
then I'll have to finish it, so we can go ahead and proceed to do the job.
10 FASANO:
Was this a work request relating to Unit l?
l 121 LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
I could probably give it, if you want the number of the work request.
l 15i 16,'
FASANO:
The work that you were doing on Unit 1, this is a finalization for the re 7 to power after being shutdown?
I 18!
LEAKWAY:
Yes, in preparation to that, yes.
19l 20j t
FASANO:
Your crew, what do they consist of?
21!
2 LEAKWAY:
On shift work, well they consist of mechnical maintenance, instru-23 ment department, and electrician's department.
24l 25!
' 2, i
i f-
(
5 1l FASANO:
What work were they, do you know what work they were doing?
I l
gi mean, just where they were located?
3 LEAKWAY:
Yes, yes, sir.
Mostly, they were all up in Unit 1.
4 I
5 FASANO:
And that's since no work was being done on Unit 2?
6 7
LEAKWAY:
Not that I recall.
8 1
FASAN0:
Do you rer,11 that your people were working on the makeup filters?
10 11; LEAKWAY:
Just looking, no, no.
13 CRESWELL:
Mr.
14i Leakway is referring to some notes that he has in a small notebook.
15:
16-LEAKWAY:
According to my notes all the men were up in Unit 2 and I did send two men back when they lost the turbine when the reactor tripped.
The Unit 2 men, I&C men were assigned up to Unit 1 to work on that, and they sent two of them back when the turbine tripped.
This was after the incident happened.
Primarily all my men were assigned, had to keep them up in i
Unit 1 to work.
22 l
23l FASANO:
When, during your assignments, do you have any contact with 241 Catalytic, working crews that come in?
25j IN g
m'
[ h,' j r
e, -
l 0
1.
LEAKWAY:
Very few times, very few.
2!
FASANO:
3!
This would be some other level in your organization then?
I 4!
LEAKWAY:
Right, some other level.
The only contact that I would have with 5
6i them if they would need tools, special tools out of the tcol room at Unit 1 or torque wrenches or things like that.
That's the only contact that I 7
Would have with them.
g 91 FASANO:
Do you have any idea of the work that was being done on any of the 0
systems by Catalytic?
12 I
LEAKWAY:
No, sir.
Couldn't tell you that.
13!
14f i
FASAN0:
I notice that the unit drain pump was still out, was that out 15:
during the, prior to the incident?
I 17!
LEAKWAY:
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was.
18i 19l l
FASANO:
You've been on Unit I and 2?
20l 21i l
LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
22!
l 23 FASANO:
How do you compare, I guess you've had the experience with Unit 1 24l
[
during about the same phase of operation as Unit 2.
Do you have any compar-25!
r
'c'g) gog V
i j
7 I
1{
ative feel for the effort that's been taken by maintenance on Unit 2 compared to Unit I?
2 3
4j LEAKWAY:
Could you explain that to me again, I lost the correlation of that?
5 k
FASANO:
It looked like you didn't have to do that much, well your doing 7
most of your work on Unit 1 and...
g 91 t
LEAKWAY:
The only reason we doing at the time in Unit 1 because we were O
trying to get that one back on.
l 12:
l FASAN0:
But that didn't mean that you didn't have a workload on Unit 2?
13l 14!
LEAKWAY:
Oh yes.
You have a workload in Unit 2, but see on the shift, we have to set our priorities, whatever is first, and the shift supervisor gives us that priorities.
17!
i t
18i FASANO:
Did you vnow about the problem on the train gear at the feed i
19!
pump? The auxiliary operators had to go in and continually turn it after 20!
ohutdown?
21!
22 LEAKWAY:
No I wasn't aware of that, I knew they turned them, but I wasn't 23!
l aware of the time?
24l 25l
\\
l i
f i
i 8
1; FASANO:
Maintenance would not really get involved unless the work order 2
came from some other source, except in an emergency where you write your i'
3 wn rep rt up?
4-LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
It would come from control room.
5 6
FASANO:
7 That was feedwater pump 18 where apparently there was some work done on it back in December of last year, I guess.
Maybe you are familiar 8
with that?
g 10 LEAKWAY:
No.
I wasn't familiar too much with Unit 2.
I 12!
FASANO:
Oh, you were mainly Unit I?
14!
LEAKWAY:
ell, no I'm both Units.
When I say that, I'd like to retract 15 that, I'm more familiar with Unit 1 then I was with Unit 2.
t 17f i
FASANO:
So as far as your memory goes, your people were not working on the 18!
j emergency feed system?
Have anything to do with the valve lineup require-19i ments?
20l 21 LEAKWAY:
No, sir.
That's all done out of the control roco.
When we're 22' doing a job we put in our switching and tagging application and they review 23 it and then they'll hang the tags and do the valve lineup.
Then we'll do a 24l l
job and when we fini h it, we request that the job was done and return it 25i t
)
l 6
9 g
back to the control room and they take the tags off and they do the valve 1
2j lineups.
l 3!
FASANO:
How about the retest?
Do you people get involved in a retest?
4 i
5l LEAKWAY:
No, when they retest and then if something happens, you know a 6
fault or something like that, then we will go back on again to do the job.
7 8
FASANO:
Okay, operations does retest, you mean operations when you say i
91 l
they?
10l l
11!
LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
12!
13l FASANO:
We had, I guess we had, some indication that the 11 valves on the 14!
emergency feed system were leaking.
Do you have any knowledge of this?
16; i
LEAKWAY:
No, sir.
17!
l 18!
FASANO:
Would these normally leak?
Do you know?
19!
i 20t 21l LEAKWAY:
You mean through packing or through the valves?
r r
22l FASAN0:
Through the opening?

LEAKWAY:
Through the opening?

i 3l FASANO:
You don't know?
4 LEAKWAY:
No.
5 6j l
FASANO:
Okay, you were in your office.
Let's go back just before the 7
trip.
Did you notice anything different at all at that time about this g
trip?
t al i
10l 11,l LEAKWAY:
No.
I 12l I
FASANO:
The relief actuation?
13l i
14!
I LEAKWAY:
In fact, I didn't even hear the relief valvec go off until the 15!
two men, the maintenance men, they were over in the warehouse getting parts i
for a job, and they come back in and said the relief valves are blowing.
17!
That's when they felt something was wrong when they come over.
18i 19!
FASANO:
This was Newton and
..?
20' 21; LEAKWAY:
Newton and Wolfe.
22, i
23 FASANO:
Oh, yes.
Were you called to do, you said you didn't get a call 24l o
i and it was 7:00, you were still waiting?

t 1[
LEAKWAY:
Well, I'd say it was prior, it was maybe a little before.
I 2{
can't give you time limit.
I know it was before 7:00 when they announced i
31 f r the repair party.
41 FASANO:
5 Okay, now the repair party.. I think I did ask some questions 6
es" lier from another person and I understand they did work on the water treatment on Unit 1.
7 8
g LEAKWAY:
Yes, I did that, but that was after I was relieved.
I went down, l
the men and I went down, the repair party to the control point at HP and as 6
10l we were vaiting for further orders, well my relief come in.
Mr. Callenvich, and he said, "Go ahead, you can go home, I'm here."
I said, "okay," so we took my men and unfortunately we couldn't get out.
We were locked in.
So l
the next procedure to do is to go to the north auditorium and wait.
And we 141 l
were there when Mr. Parnell's shift foreman, he come down and ask me about 15; those valves you have reference to there.
i 17!
FASANO:
That V62.
ISj 19i LEAKWAY:
V62, 63.
We had 63 out, we were working cn that and he said they 20!
needed the blank 62 and 63.
We took the operator off and put blanks on so 21 they could run the water down to Unit 2.
And that's when we went from the 22l l
north auditorium, we were waiting and then we went out to do that stuff.
23l That was Wolfe and Newton was with me.
24!
25!
I l
\\
c l
I i
12 11 FASAN0:
Those valves, these are on Unit I?
I 2'
LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir, Illinois water treatment.
3!
4 5'
FASANO:
And what was the, were you told what purpose, why they needed to have these blanks on?
6 I
7!
LEAKWAY:
Mr.
8 Parnell said they wanted them open, that they could get water down to Unit 2 and that's the only statement he made to me.
g 10l 11:!
FASAN0:
Actually then, you would then perform the work, your people would I
perform the work and it would be up to operations than to line the system 12!
to Unit 2 for the purposes that they needed?
14!
LEAKWAY:
Yes Sir.
15; 16 FASAN0:
17:l So vou would then turn over the finished work, report to the shift foreman.."
18{
19:
LEAKWAY:
Yes Sir, I reported to him directly that the blanks were on, that 20!
l they could use the valves.
21 22, CRESWELL:
Could you tell me a little bit more about what system were 23 talking about? What lines we're talking about?
24l
,s i
25!
J' c
1 f
GS >
t i
6 i
13 li LEAKWAY:
It's the Illinois Water Treatment up in Un't 1 that treats the 2{
water, purifies it and they have it that they can valve down into Unit 2 I
with it also, the way I understand.
3l e
4l CRESWELL:
This would be like a makeup water system?
5 l
6j LEAKWAY:
Yes.
7 I
al i
CRESWELL:
What were they going to use the water for over at Unit 2?
gj 10t LEAKWAY:
They didn't tell me sir.
In this position as a repairman and overything over here like I said before, we don't do any valving or running the systems or anything.
All we de is, when we get a work request if its
,3 an apparatus to be repaired, why we do the actual repairing and then we 14 turn it over to the parties involved.
Which is operations to do the valving out and running of the equipment.
We can run the equipment just for test purposes.
When I say that, I'd like to clarify it is like if its electri-17l I,
cians they want to take some mega readings and things like that.
18j 19!
FASANO:
If it had a procedure that was written, then you would rely on 20i l
operations or would you perform a retest?
21!
I 22 LEAKWAY:
If 'ts a procedure we can... like if its a motor, if you want to 23 take RED read ngs of things like that, well we'll can do that.
24 25!
2 J
i l
7ab U
14 FASANO:
1!
Then you report back to the foreman and tell him the system is f
2f complete?
l 3l 4j LEAKWAY:
If whatever on the work request if its... whatever it calls for 5
n that, yes.
We complete all that, and we can request the tags can be rem ved, whoever has the apparatus tagged out and whose name it is why he 6l can request that the tags be removed that the unit is ready.
8 FASANO:
On the tagging procedure,,t<t a little bit more clarification.
i 91j Do you have qualified people that are allawed to take these tags or does operations actually.
6 11l 12l I
LEAKWAY:
Operations did the tagging.
13l 14i FASANO:
They actually perform the 16; LEAKWAY:
Valving out or whatever it consists of, they actually, physically 17!
i put the tags on near the valves that are required to be open or closed or 18i whatever.
19l 20l FASANO:
Removal?
21!
22!
LEAKWAY:
And removal, we have nothing to do with that.
23 24l 25I s
m.
~
l 15 FASAN0:
Okay, on a daily basis do you report your status to operations?
1.
2 In other words if you' re working on a system they have tagged out a parti-l 3!
cular valve or system for you to do some work, do you then relate back to I
4j operations the status?
5 LEAKWAY:
6 The only time we'll do that if we complete the job.
If its not 7
completed I'll turn it over to the shift coming on.
Which is also notes that each shift that they, we call or let know in the Control Room if its 8
an apparatus whatever, whether its essential or anything, what status it g
s, w ar we are e
n e w r, wh t percent, if we' re fifty percent 10 i
finished or ninety or wh7tever we have to do.
I also report that.
i 11J l
12l FASANO:
I am just trying to get a feel for how to operations knows the continuing status? When did you leave the site?
t 15:
LEAKWAY:
It was after dinner, sometime.
17!
FASANO:
In the evening?
18 19l LEAKWAY:
No, see I worked eleven to seven, ordinarily I would leave at 20!
7:00 a::d it was af ter dinner, afternoon.

You came on duty 4l approximately 11 a.m., on March 27?
S!
i LEAKWAY:
No 11 p.m. Sir.

CRESWELL:
11 p.m. I'm sorry, 11 p.m.
How would you characterize the 8l period of time between 11 p.m. on the 27th till about 4:00 a.m. on the g
28th.
Was that pretty much routine type of thing?
10 lli l
LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
Routine type.
12!
13 CRESWELL:
Okay.
You mentioned in your discussion with Mr. Fasano that you 14!
heard an alarm?

16:
i LEAKWAY:
Yes, sir.
17!

If you could just run down through there for us.
I 13l LEAKWAY:
Wolfe and Newton, Mechanical.
Sesne and, oh boy, I can't even think of his name.
15; 16!
I CRESWELL:
Just take your time.
171 t
18i LEAKWAY:
Wow, I can't think of him.
I can't even recall that incident.
19i I know them by face and, I can't even recall their names.

You mentioned that you sent two I&C men over to Unit 2.

i 3l LEAKWAY:
No I don't.
Paul Keene, he's another incident man who was there 4;
5l caus; he stayed over to work in Unit 2.
I don't know who we called about 6l g ing ver.
i 7
Okay.
8 9l LEAKWAY:
See semetimes it depends where I'm at, especially I&C which 10 is located right adjacent to the control room which I uess you know both units.
A lot of times the shift foreman whoever wants them will come right i
12!
over and say, " Hey, I need you here," and which in turn he'll call me later and say, " Hey, I'm working on this job."
Cause I could be over at Unit 1 or Unit 2 15:
16:
I CRESWELL:
So the operations people can request your people to do things, 17!
I without really having to work through you?
18l 19t LEAKWAY:
But then usually the shift foreman will contact me and say l
i 21i CRESWELL:
Do you remember what those two I&C men worked on when they went 22l over there?

i 31 4j CRESWELL:
Okay, would you normally have a couple of I&C guys go over on a 5
turbine trip to do work?
6j i
LEAKWAY:
7 Yeah, usually they call them on the instrumentation end of it.
8 i
CRESWELL:
Okay.
What would they normally be doing on a turbine trip?
gj 10l LEAKWAY:
Well they were over there checking on the, the instrumentation on the turbine.
I'm trying to think of the proper name of it which I can't I
right now, its right in the west end of it.

Is it' Control.. Electro Highride Control System?
16l LEAKWAY:
That's it.

And they were just setting it up then.
