SUBJECI TERMINATION OF SERVICES OFTmi4,,4 a,,a ;.gn
N
On June 11, 1979, the services of
Ind."A"
were contracted by the Henry
J. Kaiser Company at the Wm. H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station throug: athr
Services Group, Inc. The services of such employees are considered temporary
in nature, and they are considered to be probationary employees for a period
of two to three months. After a period of testing and training,
Ind."A"
was qualified as an inspector and issued an inspection stamp.
Over the past several weeks,
Ind."A"'s
supervisors, who were monitoring his
work, determined that
Ind."A"
was performing inadequate inspections and
that his performance was not in accordance with the standards required by
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
,
As a result of this determination, it was decided that the services of
Ind . A"
were no longer required, and the contract with Butler Services,
Inc. for his services was cancelled on August 14, 1979.
Henry J. Kaiser
Company did not employ
Ind."A"
so, therefore, the Company could not term-
inate him. Wnether or not
Ind."A" is stili employed by Butler Services,
Inc. is beyond our knowledge and/or control.
At the present time, our
Quality Assurance Department is in the process of reverifying the inspections
performed by
Ind. "A" during the short period of time he worked at the
Zimmer site.

SUBJECT: TERMINATION OF CONTRACT EMPLOYEE
Bea Palermo, Personnel Manager at Butler Services, was contacted approximately
8:00 AM this date, concerning Individual"A"s performance in the area of visual
inspection.
Indiv."A"
was contracted by Kaiser from Butler Services Group,
Inc. on June 11, 1979.* He completed his reading list, passed his Visual Weld
Ir.spection Test and Liquid Penetrant Test on June 15, 1979
He was issued an
irs;ection Stamp on that date.
inspections as itemi2ed below reveal that he did not perform in
Iradequate
accordance with his qualifications as reflected by his resume and certifi-
cations.
1) Welder qualification was expired and the inspector should have
identified this condition at the time tacks and fitup inspection
was made, instead he allowed the unqualified welder to complete the
weld.
Nonconformance report E1985 was issued.
.
2)
Inspector allowed welders qualified for weld procedure 3.1.51 weld
to 3.1.21 without approval from the Welding Engineer, and without
3.1.21 being cross referenced in QACHI G-12, as an equal to 3.1.51.
3)
Several fitups in the suppression pool modification contrary to
the designs specification were accepted by the inspector.
a)
Backing strips on plates 2C, IC and 6C were to short and
left gaps of the sizes 1" x 1/8", 1" x 1/4", and i 1/4" x
1/4" respectively. The gaps will not allow full penetration
selds as designed or allowed by DDC S-1701.

I
jg
b)
acking strips on plate 3C were supposed to be fit y d under
s
the liner plate near the penetration per DDC S-170L
The
--
1/2" liner plate was not ground down to allow the proper
fitup, instead the backing strip was tacked to the, edge of
the liner plate allowing space between backing strip and
liner thus preventing full penetration weld.
