JA?!E AXELRAD'S STATEMEflT RE HARD'.A?! ALLEGATIONS Sometime in February 1933, I had a conversaticn with Don Kirkpatrick en the Hartman allegations.

He described to te the results of the investigation up until it was halted.

Although I do not recall exactly what I was told, I believe that I became aware at that time that he had cencluded that some of the Hartman allegations were correct in that hydrogen had been added to affect the resuits and that all of the bad results were thrown cut and only the good leak rate test results were, retained.

In a subsequent meeting in May, Jim Lieberman, Vic Stello, Ed Case, Ed Christenbury and others to discuss whether the results of GPU's investi-gation were reportable. Tim Martin was on the speaker phone, and we discussed when NRC personnel knew that the leak rate test results had been rigged.

We reached no conclusion.
