ALLEGED COVER-UP OF NONCONFORMING CONCRETE CONSOLIDATION REPAIR DEFICIENCIES On June 12, 1979, RIII was informed by the licensee's QA Manager of the following allegations and related events:
1.
On the morning of June 12, 1979, a local TV station (Channel 2, WAVE, Louisville, Kentucky) requested "on-camera" interview with the licensee's QA organization and the site concrete contractor's QA organization.
2.
During this plant site interview, the licensee was informed that a 24 page legal deposition had been filed with the Jefferson County Court House by a local intervening group (Save the Valley) in behalf of a site concrete craftsman.
This deposition is believed, but not known to be, the basis of a suit.
This deposition reportedly describes collusion between the licensee's QA organization and the site concrete contractor's QA organization for the purpose of either " covering up" or misrepresenting nonconforming concrete repairs on the containment and steam tunnel structures.
3.
One page of this document was given to the licensee during the site interview.
The licensee is attempting to obtain a full copy.
Further inquiry and investigation by RIII is planned.
The licensee has made a press release.
The state of Indiana will be notified.
This PN is being issued because of anticipated widespread publicity.
Region III (Chicago) received notification of this matter at 3:15 p.m. on June 7, 1979.
