In the Matter of g g 4 HOUSTON LIGHTING AND POWER Docket Nos. 50-498 COMPANY, ET. AL. 50-499 (South Texas Project Units 1 and 2) 6 ANSWERS OF CITIZENS CONCERNED ABOUT NUCLEAR POWER, INC. TO SECOND SET OF INTERROGATORIES AND REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION of t.0CUMENTS FROM HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER. ET AL., APPLICANTS I. Interrogatories
- 1. Identify and produce each document contained in the " bundle of documents" which purportedly caused CCANP's answerr to the first set of interrogatories to be late-filed.
In the preface to CCANP's answers to the first set of inter-rog6 tories, CCANP stated as fact that the docucents referred to were received on December 16, 1979. In response to Applicants use of the word " purported" in this interrogatory, CCANP repeats for the record that this date is indeed the true and correct date on which these documents were received and that the receipt of these documents did in fact delay the CCANP response by five days. 1he majority of these documents were reproduced as exhibits in the CCANP answe rs to the first set of interrogatories. Those documents not submitted in answer to the first set of interrogato-rie; were either similar to those submitted or did not seem pertinent to the contentinns as best CCANP understood these documents. The remaining documents consist of:
- 1. additional pages of punch lists, such as those in Exhibit P of CCANP's answers to Applicants first interrogatories;
- 2. Brown and Root "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESPONDING TO AUDITORS";
- 3. seven cadweld reports on various dates.
All documents in the bundle are available for inspection and copying by prior appointment at 116 V1111ta, San Antonio, Texas. [This answer applf es also to Interrogatory 26 and II. Production of Documents. Item 1. below.)
- 2. (a) Identify and produce every document received or provided by CCANP during its "Cooperat[ ton] in an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation".
In the FBI investigation of Brown and Root, et al., activities at the South Texas Nuclear Project, CCANP acted solely as a conduit for documents. None of the documents were retained or copied by CCANP. Subsequently, one of these documents, the depo-sition of Mr. Dan Swayze taken pursuant to the law suit Mr. Swayze filed against Brown and Root, did come into CCANP's possession. Various pages from this depo: tion are copied as exhibits in these answers. Those pages not copied are pages in which Mr. Swayze was questioned about his prior work experience, i discussions between the attorneys regarding the availability of certain employment documents, and discussions relating to charges made against Mr. Swayze by another employee of Brown and Root. The entire deposition is available for inspection by Applicants, though CCANP assumes the Applicants can secure their own copy from Brown and Root.

- 2. (b) Identify each person contacted by CCANP during its parti-cipation in the above referenced investigation.
1 The participation of CCANP in the FBI investigation was done on a confidential basis. All contacts made by CCANP were made on this basis. CCANP, therefore, respectfully declines to provide the names of persons contacted.
- 3. (a) Identify and produce every document received or generated by CCANP during "its own investigatter to determine why the United States Attorney decided not to present his findings to a federal grand jury...."
CCAMP received no documents during its investigation of the United States Attorney's decision. The only document generated by CCANP as a result of this investigation was the Preface to the answers to Applicants' first interrogatories.
- 3. (b) Identify each person contacted by CCANP during the above referenced investigation.
The contacts made by CCANP during its investigation of the decision not to prosecute were made on a confidential basis. CCANP, therefore, respectfully declines to identify such persons. Howevir CCANP is now in receipt of the response of the Washington of fice of the FBI to CCANP's Freedom of Information Act request regarding the investigation by the FBI. The main conclusion of CCANP's investigation was that the regional office of the NRC had told the FBI that falsification of cadweld records would not be considered a criminal act by the NRC and that the FBI decided prosecution would be useless in the f ace of this position by the NRC. This conclusion by CCANP seems to be confirmed by the FBI response to CCANP's FOI A request. In the FBI report there is a copy of the interview between two special agents of the FBI and Mr. Karl V. Seyfrit. Director, Region IV, Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This document is attached as Exhibit 1. In this interview, Mr. Seyfrit is recorded as stating the following: "The documentation of cadweld locations at the South Texas Nuclear Project (STP) was not required by NRC prior to the submission of the original design by Brown % Root, Inc. (B8R). However, B8R committed to document the cadweld locations so the NRC is requiring that they stand by their committment. If they wanted to. R&R officials could have this documentation requirement re-moved by a simple procedure. E&R has not chosen to have this requirement removed. The NRC would not delay licen-sing if they learned B A R7aIf a l s i f y Gq~ the documEtation." (emphas W adW 3) - cadweld This statement by Mr. Seyfrit conforms to the information developed during the investigation conducted by CCANP. CCANP finds the position expressed by Mr. Seyfrit to be unusual, to say the least. 4 (a) State the f acts, the source of these f acts, and produce all documents which lead CCANP to believe that "the FBI, among other things, found extensive evidence of f alse documentation of cadweld inspections." CCANP considers all aspects of CCANP's cooperation with the FBI are part of the confidential nature of the CCANP/ FBI interac-tion. CCANP, therefore, respectfully declines to answer questions related to that investigation other than to provide, in various exhibits, information contained in the FBI response to CCANP's FOIA request. Page 2
l .1 r 4 (b) Have representatives of CCANP spoken with any personnel of the FBI concerning finding by the FBI regarding the falsifica-tion of " documentation of cadweld inspections"? See 4 (a).
- 4. (c) Identify each such person and describe the substance of each conversation.
See 4 (a).
- 5. (a) State the facts, the source of these facts, and produce all documents which CCAMP relies upon in asserting that " extensive, pervasive, and willful violations of 10 CFR, Part 50
[have been confirmed by) past NRC investigations of this plant...." In CCANP's answers to Applicants first set of interrogatories, a few of the NRC identified violations were noted. [See Interro-gatory 16, (3); Interrogatory 16, (7); and Interrogatory 19.] The NRC investigative reports on the South Texas Nuclear Project fill numerous volumes in the public document room. CCANP is attempting a comprehensive analysis of these reports to identify and correlate violations of 10 CFR, Part 50 found by the NRC inspectors. As soon as this analysis is complete, CCANP will forward a copy to the Applicants and the other parties.
- 5. (b) Identify each specific instance of which CCANP is aware in which NRC investigations have " confirmed" " extensive, pervasive and willfull violations of 10 CFR, Part 50...."
See 5. (a).
- 5. (c) Has CCANP spoken with any official of the NRC or any other person concerning any activity of HL8' and/or its contrac-tors for the STP project which CCAMP regards as part of "exten-sive, pervasive and willful violattens of 10 CFR, Part 50."
Identify each such person and describe the substance of each conversation. CCANP has spoken with Mr. Daniel Swayze on numerous occasions at great length. Recounting of these conversations would be unduly burdensome., The essence of Mr. Swayze's information regard-ing extensive, pervasive, and willful violations of 10 CFR, Part 50 is incorporated in the contentions of CCANP. To summarize Mr. Swayze's information, Mr. Swayze has stated he has seen " slab's for beer joints built better than the nuclear plant." Further, Mr. Swayze summarizes the construction attitude at the South Texas Nuclear Project as "close enough for 9Jvernment work." 6. (a) Describe the facts or occurences which CCANP alleges contribute to "a climate of fear at the construction site." To truly understand the working conditions at the South Texas Nuclear Project requires an understanding of the history of this particular project. First of all, of the four partners, Houston Lighting and Power Company is the managing partner with both on site construc-tion and inspection personnel. While the other partners are represented on the management committee. HL8P is the most directly involved in the actual building of the plant. The contract to build this particular plant was not awarded by competitive bids. HL8P gave the contract to Brown and Root on a negotiated basis. Page 3
/ r A Crown and Root has never been the architect-engineer on a nuclear construction project. As a result, the procedures, speci-fications, and design of the project were new to Brown and Root and developed as the project developed. This inexperience led to constantly changing procedures, specifications, and designs changes that created a climate of uncertainty in construction and produced some of the disagreements between the construction and inspection personnel. Additionally, the site for the nuclear plant Bay City. Texas - is a small town more than one hundred miles from the nearest large town. Personnel with the necessary skills to do the work at the plant were not readily available from a large pool of workers, so often inexperienced personnel were hired to do the job. The work force lack of experience led to poor con-struction practices. Construction personnel placed too great a dependency on inspection personnel for finding flaws rather than finding them before the inspection. At the same time. Brown and Root was fortunate enough to find some highly experienced and conscientious inspectors, such as Dan Swayze. Mr. Swayze was not the type of person to tolerate shoddy construction practice and made a habit of rejecting work which he felt was not in conformance with specifications, designs, or procedures. Even with quallfled inspectors, however, there seems to have been a continual problem with not enough inspectors to do the job. An example of this was given in CCANP's answers to Applicants first interrogatories, Answer 1G (8), which noted that there were no inspections of cadwelds at night. (See also Interrogatory 33 below.) The project itself is a massive construction job. Delays are very costly, ranging into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for each day's delay in a critical part of the construction. This mix of an inexperienced architect-engineer, inexperien-ced construction personnel, rigorous inspections, insufficient personnel to carry out the necessary tasks, and time / cost pressures j laid the predicate for a possible break down in the quality control / quality assurance program. It is just such a break down which constitutes the heart of CCANP's contentions regarding construction of the South Texas Nuclear Project. The parts of Mr. Swayre's deposition attached hereto as Exhibits 2 and 3 provide a glimpse of the kind of tension which built up between construction and inspection. As the project fell further behind more than four year behind now - and the cost sky rocketed more than tripled since 1973 the tension at the site increased. Finally, the ootnt was reached in 1977 where the physical assault on James Marshall led to inspectors deciding not to inspect, but rather to play cards for three or four months. (See Interrogatory 42 re: the card game.) In CCANP's answers to Applicants first interrogatories. Exhibit 0 is a Brown and Root Interof fice Memo dated July 27, 1977, to all QA/QC personnel from T. P. Gardner on the subject of " Construction / Quality Assurance Interf acing." Since this memo originates from the contractor and addresses clearly the problem of tension between construction and inspection, the memo is once again presented as an exhibit, in this case Exhibit 4 attached hereto. In his memo, Mr. Gardner speaks of the assault on a Civil inspector (James Marshall) and goes on to state: "It was discovered during both investigations that there existed an inordinate amount of friction between the Construction Concrete craft and Civil QC." A more comprehensive view of the problems at STNP is given by the Trip Report prepared by M. J. Meyer of Brown and Root. M. J. Meyer and B. J. Taivacchia of Brown and Root conducted Page 4
t interviews during the week of July 15, 1977 to determine the cause of a particular deficiency in construction. The resulting report is attached hereto as Exhibit 5. Among the fir. dings in this report are: T. K. Logan, Lead Civil Engineer, (HL8P): "2. 88R Construction personnel have a poor understanding of the word ' quality' and how it relates to inspec-tion prior to placement." M. M. Johnson, Senior Civil Engineer (HL&P) "1. 88R Construction is too schedule oriented." A. J. Hammons Civil QC Supervisor (B8R) "1. B8R Construction relies too much on the QC Inspector and does not try to catch problems before the QC 1 inspector does." ] D. L. Swayze Civil QC Inspector (B8R) "B8R Construction inspectors are too production oriented." One final item on the break down of QA/QC is the attitude taken toward deficiencies which are found. In the minutes of a telephone conversation between Pete Jordan of Brown and Root and R.L. Jacobi of HL8P, there is a discussion of voids in the reactor containment building, Unit
- 1. The text of these minutes is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.
These minutes contain the following passage: "There was also speculation that the contianment [ sic] polar crane could f ail in service. Second, B8R attributed the incident to a deficiency in construction and a breakdown in QA. Pete qualified the report by explaining that it was B8R's opinion that the failure of the polar crane would have occurred during the lif t of the RPV during construc-tion and therefore, the deficiency could not have remained uncorrected. He also pointed out that the deficiency would have been detected during preoperational contain-ment structural testing. I explained to Pete that the words in 50.55(e)(1): '...were it to have remained uncorrected...', were not meant to be applicable to this line of reasoning. B8R has used this approach on prior incidents and it was rejected at that time by the HL8P Incident Review Committee." A construction attitude that deficiencies will be "self correc-ting" in that a failure will occur calling attention to the deficiency is indeed not the concept of quality assurance.
- 6. Ib) Identify the source of the information in (a) above.
CCANP has conducted two years of research into the building of the South Texas Nuclear Project. From the beginning of this research, the problem of tension between construction and inspec-tion has been a major topic. Sources of information on this topic include Mr. Swayze, internal documents of Brown and Root, internal documents of Houston Lighting and Power, NRC investiga. tive reports, and conversations with persons who required a commitment of confidentiality before they would talk with us or who called anonymously to provide information. The Austin American Statesman reported on January 31, 1980, that Brown and Root had hired Time Lapse, Inc. of California to research attitudes of project employees, particularly inspectors and construction personnel whose work is subject to their approval. The article states that the study involved interviews with thirty Page 5
t five (35) employees and a questionnaire in which no names were required. The same article states that the NRC conducted a separate investigation in December which also examined the problem of tension between inspection and construction. CCANP trusts that the Applicants will make the Time Lapse, Inc. study ava1Dble to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board and to the Intervenors and that the NRC office in Arlington, Texas will also make its report available to the Board and Inter- ) venors.
- 6. (c) Identify each person contacted by CCAMP who refused to provide information for fear of losing his or her job.
Believing those who have said that persons working at STNP who provide adverse information about the project risk losing their jobs, CCANP respectfully decifnes to jeaprodize the jobs of these persons by providing their names. Additionally, since CCANP did make a commitment not to reveal the names at the time the information was provided, CCANP considers itself bound by that commitment.
- 7. Identify each communication between Applicants and the NRC which CCANP relies upon to support its asserticn that the Mecha-nical Electrical Auxiliary Building is being constructed one foot short.
Notification SFN: V-0100 dated October 29, 1979 and further identified by the notation ST-HL-AE-384 This notification was sent by E. A. Turner. Vice President, Power Plant Construction & Technical Services. Houston Lighting and Power Company to the director of Region IV, Office of Inspection and Enforcement. Arlington, Texas. The notification states: "Due to a survey calculation error, the basemat of the Unit 2 Mechanical-Electrical Auxiliary Building was constructed one foot short on the east side of the building.
- 8. (a) Identify the "other parts of the plant," besides the containment shell walls, which CCANP asserts contains [ sic]
concrete volds. Applicants have misunderstood CCANP's statement in answer to Interrogatory 3 in Applicants first set of interrogatories. CCANP pointed out that the substantive information relating to volds available to CCANP covered only Lift 8 and Lift 15 of Reactor Containment Building Unit 1. CCANP had heard reports at that time, however, that there were volds in other parts of the reactor containment building shell walls. There may indeed, however, be voids in areas other than the reactor containment shell walls. The log of deficiency reports (DDRs) for the South Texas Nuclear Project records voids in the following areas: Fuel Handling Building, Unit 1 Mechanical Auxiliary Electrical Building, Unit 1 Emergency Access Shaft RCB 1 Base Mat, Reactor Containment Building, Unit 2 Secondary Shield Wall, Reactor Containment Building, Unit 1 Additionally, since more than 850 suspected volds occurred in Reactor Containment Building. Unit 1 and Reactor Containment Butiding, Unit 2, and since the voids occurred over a lengthy period of time. CCANP believes there is every reason to assume that concrete work in other parts of the plant during the same periods of time suffered from similar deficiencies. Page 6 l l l
.I
- 8. (b) identify the individual or individuals who have " told" CCANP that "Volds have been found in other parts of the plant."
Quite frankly, CCANP representatives cannot remember where these reports originated. The question is in part rendered moot by the report issued by HL&P regarding the location of voids in other areas of the containment structures for the two reactor units.
- 8. (c) Identify the documents of which you are aware which support this allegation.
As far as volds other than in Lift 8 and Lift 15 of the shell wall in Reactor Containment Building Unit 1. CCANP rettes i upon NCR #S-C 3461, attached hereto as Exhibit 7, and the blue prints of the confirmed and suspected volds developed by Brown and Root and referred to as the " attached 27 drawings" in NCR #S-C 3461. What follows is a partial summary of CCANP's examination of these blue prints: Reactor Containment Building #1 Reactor Containment Building #2 Confirmed Suspected Confirmed Suspected Volds 56 680 20 177 CCANP also relies upon Notification SFN: V-0530, dated February 8, 1980 and further identified by the notation ST-HL-Ae-419. This notification was sent by C. W.
- Oprea, Jr.,
Executive Vice President, Houston Lighting and Power Company to Mr. Karl Seyfrit, Director, Region IV, NRC, Arlington, Texas. While the cover letter identifies the report as " Final Report on the Reportable Deficiency Concerning Concrete Volds in the Eighth Lift Of the Unit 1 Reactor Containment Building", the report in fact covers the corrective actions taken on all volds except for those in Lif t 15 of RCB 1. As to the voids in other than the reactor containment shell walls, CCANP, as noted above, finds various DDR's in the DDR log which speak of voids, to-wit: 5/31/77 S.0202 "FHB UNIT #1 Wall W-15 Void & honeycomb, patching repairs w/o engr." 7/7/77 S-0249 "FHB Unit #1 void areas under embedded crane rail channel supp" 7/20/17 S-0255 "FHB Wall pour fFH1-W19, 19A, 21, and 21A volds 3/4 length pour height" 8/10/77 S-0273 "FHB Unit-1 Wall FH1-W14, void & honeyconed [ sic] areas repaired w/o proc" 9/2/77 S-0283 " Concrete pour FH1-W8C Forms shifted 1 1/2" - Results volds" 9/22/77 S-0292 " Concrete pour FHB-52 discrep. - foreign material, consolidation, and damage" 11/1/77 S-0305 " Pour fMEl-W001-02 large area honeycomb A void underneath block out" 11/14/77 S-0310 " Pour Ct2-M9 volds and rock pockets along waterstop in emergency access shaft" 11/28/77 S-0314 " Pour #Cl2-M7 has rock pockets due to improper consolidation" [ examination of actual DDR re-port showed this was rock pockets and a void between the connecting base mats in Unit 2 Containment adjacent to east FHB 2 wall] 11/29/77 S-0315A "FHB-1 Misc large and small voids" 12/12/17 S-0321 "FH1 W45 honeycomb areas due to loss of mortar" 2/6/78 S-0335 " Pour CII-W18 and WIC, void underneath block out and void through thickness of north wall" [loca-ted in secondary shield wall] Page 7
I a 9 (a) CCANP alleges there is no " uniform, continuous process for testing for volds." State the specific parts of the void testing program which are deficient when evaluated against CCANP's criteria for " uniform, continuous process for testing for volds." The South Texas Project Specification Concrete Construction 2A010CS028 has been revised seven times. Revision D approved for construction in March of 1976 states in section 3.21: "The rate at which concrete is placed shall be consistent with form design, manpower, consolidation equipment, and in no case shall concrete be placed on a previously ETaced layer that has not been p r o p e rl y ~c o n s o l i d a t e d. " (emphasis added) Section 3.3 states: "particular attention shall be give'n to the consolidation of all concrete in Category I structures such that the concrete in place shall be practically free ~~ both of internal and external voids." (emphasis added) The same statements appear in Revision G, the most recent revision dated April, 1979. HL&P's final report on the volds to the director of Region IV shows that volds were found and repaired in: RCB 1 Lifts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. RCB 2 Lifts 4 and 6. (Note: This report does not include the Lift 15 investigation.) All of these voids, except some of those in Lift 8, were identi-fied after RCB 1 had reached the 15th lif t and RCB 2 had reached the 6th lift. Volds exist because the lift was not properly consolidated. The pouring of further lif ts e.ter the pouring of a lift containing voids is a violation of Section 3.21 quoted above. The existence of the volds is a violation of Section 3.3 quoted above. Among the confirmed volds appearing on the blue prints examined by CCANP were: 1 void 47 feet long ranging in depth from 3 inches to 17 inches 3 voids 48 inches deep (wall depth 48 inches) S volds 46 inches deep 1 void 42 inches deep intersecting void on other side of wall The existence of these voids is prima f acie evidence that construction did not pay "particular attention" to the possible presence of voids as called for in Section 3.3. A 47 foot long void was not noticed when it happened and at least three holes all the way through the wall were not noticed. In fact, the extensive presence of voids - between 70 and 81 voids were filled - in so many different areas demonstrates that there was r.o real process for testing, uniform and continuous or otherwise. In answer to Interrogatory 8(c). CCANP noted twelve void reports in the period from May, 1977 to February, 1978. Thase void reports were only for areas other than the reactor containment walls. There were still other DDR's written on voids during this period, to-wit: 8/31/77 S-0281 " Concrete pour fCA2-W1 has honeycomb area" [ considered a void because S-0285 states "Ref. Page 8
4 DDR #S-0281 - Patching of voids w/o approval of design engr."] 9/13/77 S-0287 " Concrete pour CI2-M2, Forms moved out of t-arances - voids" 10/3/77 S-0296 " Containment wall CII-W15 has volds in concrete" 10/6/77 S-0297 " Concrete pours CI2-M2 through CI2-MS - poor consolidation a foreign material" None of the DDR's listed in 8(c) or in this answer were reported to the NRC pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(e). The prior existence and detection of volds might have been expected to result in a comprehensive program of detection for future work. Indeed, when the volds were found in the secondary shield wall as recorded in DDR S-0335 dated February 6,
- 1978, this problem of repeated volds was addressed in the Observations Section which stated:
"When forms were removed from secondary shield wall after concrete pours #CII-W18 and W18C, a large void area was noted underneath the block out in the west wall and another completely through the thickness of the north wall. The deficient areas as noted are the direct result of 7 proper placement aTd conso1TJation techniques used and in violation of the above speci-fication and your recurrence control on a DDR." - - previous These 7 re sizeable voids. The void in the west wall was 7 1/2" deep and 20" wide; the void in the north wall was 30" wide x 24" high x 30" deep. The response to this problem found in the Recurrence Control section of this DDR is: "We underestimated the complexity of this placement. In the future, we will look at these placements with much more control in mind. We will continue to look at our preplacement planning more effectively. Also, we will ask for engineering resolution when we find it necessary." Yet shortly thereaf ter, volds were found in Lif t 8 of Reactor Containment Building, Unit 1. What follows is a closer examination of events related to volds in Lift 8 of Reactor Containment Building, Unit 1. The first identification of voids in Lif t 8 appears to have been on February 10, 1978. In Field Request For Engineering Action 1-C-0873 attached hereto as Exhibit 8, the section on Recommended Disposition speaks of the personnel air lock to be grouted as per FREA 0-C-0694 dated 2-10-78. On March 25, 1978, a pour was carried out on RCB 1, Exterior Shell Wall, Lift h. On the back of the Concrete Pour Card, inspector Suresh Shah wrote: " Voids observed at construction joints on each side of personnel air lock. Size and extent of voids are to be determined." (See Exhibit 9) On April 5, 1978 FREA 1-C-0873 was written apparently to address the volds found by Mr. Shah. For some reason, this FREA has an attached drawing (See Exhibit 8) which shows voids only on one side of the personnel airlock, though Mr. Shah said there were voids "on each side of the personnel air lock." Subsequently, voids were found in Lift 15 and reported to the NRC in October of 1978. Brown and Root also undertcok soundings of other voids lifts to check for volds. The NCR Log, item 2706A notes " RCBF 1 Lift #8 Liner - Voids in Conc." The log initially had this NCR as not reportable, and the initial date of issuance as June 13, 1979. Subsequently, the same NCR entry was changed to record the deficiency as reportable and the initial date of issue was changed to April 18, 1979. Page 9
.1 A May 1, 1979 Interoffice Memorandum of Brown and Root, attached hereto as Exhibit 10, stated: i "As a result of soundings taken on the Ifner in the i vicinity of lif t 8 of Unit 1 RCB, the client has requested that an Engineering evaluation of the potential voids be performed, The raw data submitted is inconclusive as evidenced by the results of the investigation of the 15th lift." On June 18, 1979 HL8P notified Region IV, NRC of voids behind the Ifner plate in Lift 8. On August 15, 1979, the Second Interim Report on the volds found in Lif t 8 was sent to Region IV. NRC. The schematic showing the location of the volds includes three voids at or near the personnel airlock. Voids 2 and 3 appear to be in the same place as the voids drawn as 1 and 2 in FREA 1-C-0873 dated April 5, 1978. Void 1 is under the airlock itself, an airlock supposedly grouted as per FREA 0-C-0694 dated February 10, 1978. Either the voids detected in Lift 8 during early 1978 were never fixed or the inspection and repair system failed to locate similar voids in the immediate area. Whichever the case, the void detection and repair system is called into question by the experience on Lift 8. There is one other deficiency that CCANP believes existed and still exists in the void testing program. Section 5.5.2. of the Concrete Specification noted above. Revision G, states: "The ' sounding' cf imbedded plates, liners, and so forth, shall not be applicable as a primary basis for detecting and defining volds. ' Soundings' may be utilized, however, to assist in defining potential voids if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
- a. voids are visible in the concrete behind or beneath an imbedment, or b.
voids are suspect because of adverse conditions during the placement that may have resulted from inadequate consolidation, equipment problems, low slumps, and so forth." What this section seems to say is that tapping on the liner plate cannot be used as a primary method for detecting and defining voids, but can be used as a back up method if volds are either visually detected or the conditions of the pour were such that voids are suspected. The problem which CCANP raises at this point is: What, if anything, is done to detect voids which exist in the interior of a wall? If such volds do not open to the outside or inside of the wall, they will not be visually detected. If conditions of the pour were such that voids are suspected, tapping on the liner would not reveal an interior void. In the walls already examined in RCB 1 and RCB 2, there is no evidence to support a conclusion that there are no voids surrounded by concrete. Theoretically there could be a void 46 inches deep with one inch of concrete on the inside face and one inch of concrete on the outside f ace, and such a void would escape detection. To CCCANP's knowledge, the void detection process used by Applicants makes no provision for testing for internal voids. This process is, therefore, highly suspect, particularly in light of the number of voids which were detected. The conclusion of Applicants in their February 18, 1980 report to the NRC was: "it was determined that if lef t uncorrected, th6se voids could have compromised the structural integrity of the Containment shell in that the as-built configuration would not have met its design load and shielding criteria." There is the possibility that there still exist internal voids with a similar safety related impact. Page 10
l J 4 s 9. (b) Do you allege that the void testing program violates 10 CFR 50, Part B7 If so, identify the provisions thereof which are violated and the basis for such allegation. CCANP certainly does allege that the void testing program violates 10 CFR 50, Part B. The history of the void detection program at this construction site, a part of which was outlined above Indicates that voids are not routinely identified even when they are 47 feet long. It was not until the massive foul up in Lift 15 (See Exhirt 11 attached hereto) that an evaluation of the presence of vcids was undertaken. Had the Lift 15 problems not been so obvious and substantial, there may never have been a search, such as the one which turned up voids "that if left uncorrected... could have compromised the structural integrity of the Containment shell in that the as-built configuration would not have met its design load and shielding criteria." The violations alleged are as follows:
- 1. Criteria I was violated in that Applicants did not establish and execute a quality assurance program assuring that activities af fecting the safety-related functions have been cor-rectly performed.
- 2. Criteria 11 was violated in that Applicants did not have a quality assurance program providing control over activities af f fecting the quality of the identified structures to an extent consistent with their importance to safety. Further, the absence of a testing procedure for internal voids does not take into account the need for special controls, processes, and test equipment to attain the required quality.
- 3. Criteria III was violated in that deviations from appropriate quality standards were not controllad.
- 4. Criteria V was violated in that the instructions and procedures were insufficient to prevent voids.
- 5. Criteria X was violated in that the program for inspection of JCtiVities affecting quality was not established of executed in a manner sufficient to prevent voids.
- 6. Criteria XI was violated in that the program for testing for volds did not detect that the containment walls would not perform satisfactorily. This criteria is further violated by the absence of any testing criteria or procedure for the identi-fication of internal voids.
- 7. Criteria XVI was violated in that measures were not established to assure that conditions adverse to quality were promptly identified and corrected. Identification of voids more than a year af ter they have occurred and correction more than a year and a half after occurrence can hardly be considered prompt.
Furthermore, the absence of any prograa to detect internal voids which could be adverse to the quality of the walls is also a violation of this criteria. CCANP notes in passing that in the answer to #5 in the Ap-plicants' first set of interrogatories, CCANP stated "[T]he large number of voids discovered to date suggests strongly that a uniform, continuous process of testing for hidden voids would have uncovered other voids and that more extensive testing for voids was required than was actually conducted." This statement was made prior to CCANP having access to information on voids in places other than Lift 8 or Lift 15.
- 10. (a) Describe the fact or occurence and produce every document CCANP relies upon to support the assertion that there has been
" improper pouring of concrete" in the walls enclosing the contain-ment butiding. See answers 8 and 9 above. Page 11
i 1 I (
- 10. (b) Identify each person with whom CCANP has spoken in regard I
to this matter. As CCANP has held press conferences on this matter and been approached by numerous persons desirous of examining documents, such as the blue prints, the naming requested is impractical.
- 11. Identify the exact " design specifications" which were violated by the " presence of voids."
Specification Concrete Construction 2A010CS028, Sections 3.21 and 3.3 as quoted in answer 9 above.
- 12. (a) Explain precisely why it is necessary to " relocate" cadwelds.
The current inspection of cadwelds at the South Texas Nuclear Project generates inspection records, location maps, and other permanent records. The purpose of these records is nnt only to check the quality of current work but also to provide traceability. If for any reason the quality or documentation of a cadweld is called into question, the only method of being certain that a cadweld was properly shot or actually placed where it was supposed to be placed is to go back and look at the cadweld. This trace-ability is precisely what CCANP means by the term " relocate. The quality of cadweld records is apparently of some impor-tance tn Applicants as shown in the Speed Letter attached hereto as Exhibit 12. Dated September 11, 1978, this memo calls attention to cadweld records " filled out improperly, some are incomplete' and others do not agree." The conclusion of the author is that "It is apparent from the amount of problems identified that a thorough review of cadweld records is in order." Non-Conformance Report #S-C 3518, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 13, documents 93 cadwelds for which no documentation exists. (The list of the 93 cadwelds attached to the NCR is omitted from the exhibit.) The Description of Deficiency contains the following state-ment: "This lack of adequate documentation renders the quality of these cadwelds unacceptable and/or indeterminate...." The absence of such documentation apparently would lead to a hold tag being applied to the cadweld until inspection could be completed because the Description of Deficiency also contains the statement: "No hold tags applied because cadwelds covered by con-crete."
- 12. (b) Explain precisely what verifications of quality are performed after a cadweld is " relocated."
Presumably, the cadweld could be examined visually, tested for strength, and its location checked to assure its placement in accordance with design.
- 12. (c) Identify the " verifications" explained above by citation to the appropriate South Texas Project Quality Assurance procedure and/or NRC regulation.
NCR S-C3518 (Exhibit 13) notes that the absence of documenta-tion for cadwelds violates 2A010CS028-Revision G 12.5.4 an? 10 CFR 50 Aprendix B, Criterion XVII. More comprehensive is non-conformance report #S-C3584, whi-is attached hereto as Exhibit 14. (The lengthy exhibits attached the NCR are not reproduced as they are merely a log of all t various cadwelds in question.) This NCR documents 2,056 cadwel having deficiencies, some with more than one type. Page 12 l
a l In an attachment to this NCR, the various South Texas Project Quality Assurance procedures and NRC regulations violated are delineated as: 2A010CS028 - Revision G - 15.3.2.8 15.3.2 12.5.4 95.3.2.2 10 CFR 50 Criterion XVII. In the referenced attachment, the wording of each procedure and regulation is given.
- 13. (a) Identify those persons with whom CCANP has discussed the assertion that taper ties were used to construct the containment exterior shell.
The inclusion of the containment exterior shell in CCANP's answer to Applicants' first set of interrogatories, #10, was an error. Taper ties were used in the secondary shield wall of the containment building, not in the exterior shell wall.
- 13. (b) See 13 (a).
- 13. (c) See 13 (a)
- 14. (a) State the facts, the source of these facts, and produce all documents which CCANP relies upon to support the assertion that the use of taper ties is "a violation of standard construction i
I practices." First of all, the statement quoted in this interrogatory is part of an entire sentence which states: "The use of taper ties in this type of construction [below grade] is believed by CCANP to be a violation of standard construction practices." Specification Concrete Construction 2A010CS028, Revision D, Section 4.2 states in part: " Ties shall be of the br eak back type, which when removed, will permit a minimum of 1 and 1/2 inches between the end of the rod,and the concrete surface. The same paragraph appears in Revisions E and F. In Revision G, however, the paragraph now reads: " Ties shall be of the type, which when removed, will permit a minimum of I and 1/2 inches between the end of the rod and the concrete surface." The words " break back" have now been removed. s 14 (b) Identify those persons with whom CCANP has discussed this i assertion. l Mr. Daniel E. Swayze. I 14 (c) Describe the substance of each conversation. CCANP's answer to Applicants' first set of interrogatories,
- 10 sets forth the essence of what Mr.
Swayze had to say.
- 15. Identify the design engineer who " ordered all the holes to be filled."
At this time, CCANP does not know the identity of this engineer. Continued efforts will be made to identify this person and the name will be provided to Applicants as soon as available. Page 13
a
- 16. (a) !%ntify those persons with whom CCANP discussed the assert 10n that taper tie holes "have not been filled" or "were partially filled."
CCANP has discussed the tie hole problem with Mr. Daniel E. Swayze. The essence of Mr. Swayze's memory of the tie holes is found in CCANP answer #10 to the first set of interrogatories from Applicants and in Exhibit F to the same answers. In the same Exhibit, Mr. Karl Seyfrit, Director. Region IV. NRC states on October 6, 1979 that plugging of the *f e holes "is not a high-priority item, so it wouldn't surprise me to see it drag on for awhile." Since, according to Mr. Seyfrit in the same exhibit, the problem was reported to the NRC in December 1977, the " drag on for a while" statement would seem.to support the assertion that the holes "have not been filled." In further response to Interrogatory 10 in Applicants' first set of interrogatories, CCANP attaches hereto, as Exhibit 1$. DDR S-0325. This DDR deals with tie holes only partially filled. The attachment to this DDR shows that tie holes in Fuel l Handling Building. Unit 1; Containment Building. Unit 1; and Mechanical & Electrical Auxiliary Building, Unit I were not completely filled in violation of Construction Procedure A040KPCCP-
- 5. In fact, the hole tested in the Secondary Shield Wall of the Containment Building, Unit 1 showed only 1 and 1/2 inches of grout on the interior and 4 inches on the exterior of a wall noted as 48 inches thick. This finding seems to confirm the allegation j
that the holes were filled only partially. In CCANP's answer to Interrogatory 10, first set, CCANP i recounted that Mr. Swayze spoke of finding grout being used that crumbled under his fingernail. NCR #S-C 3126, attached hereto as Exhibit 16 also deals with the filling of taper tie holes. On the continuation page, the inspector notes: "a majority of the holes inspected had sand in them" in violation of 2A010CS028 Revision G - 7.2.3.1 and 7.2.3.2. Further evidence of tie holes filled only partially and with improper grout is found in NCR #S-C 2257, attached hereto as Exhibit 17 In this NCR, the inspector found tie holes only partially filled with grout improperly consolidated in violation of 2A010SC028 - Revision G - 7.2.3.1. Finally, in answer #11, first set, CCANP raised the problem of filling tie holes where the waterproof membrane and backfill are already in place. NCR #S-C 1258, attached hereto as Exhibit 18, is an example of just such a situation. The resolution of the problem in this NCR is to proceed with dry packing the hola according to Specification 2A010CS028-F-7.2.3.1 which statee in part: "Each layer shall be solidly compacted over its entire surface by use of a hard wood stick and a hamr.er. Much of the tamping shall be directed at a slight angle and towards the sides of the hole to insure maximum compac-tion in these areas." The problem raised earlier by CCANP was how this procedure could be carried out in a manner to assure complete filling since the backfill is in place, in a manner protecting the membrane from rupture, and in a manner providing for inspection of the membrane after packing. In this instance, the Proposed Disposition does not address any of these problems. Pecent actions by the Applicants could make this point moot. The Scuth Texas Project Specification Concrete Construction - Revision F - Section 7.2.3.1 contained the statement: "In gernal [ sic], dry pack may be used for repairs that have a relatively high depth / area ratio. Tie holes shall be filled solid with dry pack mortar after being cleaned and thoroughly dampened. When a repair is classified as structural, an epoxy binder shall be Page 14
? applied to the prepared surface and shall be tacky prior to dry packing." In Revision G of the same specification this passage now in 7.3.2.2 reads: "In general, dry pack may be used for repairs that have a relatively high depth / area ratio. When a repair is classified as structe.al, an epoxy binder shall be applied to the p re;,a red surface and shall be tacky prior to dry pacting." The statement that " Tie holes shall be filled solid with dry pack mortar af ter being cleaned and thoroughly dampened" is now removed. Thus, Applicants have removed the passage requiring break back ties and removed the requirement to fill tie holes completely. The problem of using taper ties and filling the holes left by removing these-ties is thus cured by removing the requirements which created the problem. On the other hand, these changes may have been made in recognition of an of fice memo of Brown and Root, Inc. to T. P. Gardner from M. B. Chan. The subject of this memo was "Clarifica-tion of Specification 2A0100CS028 Concrete Construction." The correspondence nunber is GM-12683 dated June 14, 1976. Referring to Section 7.2 repairs, the memo states: "The sentence in paragraph two of this section 'The method of repair proposed for the individual case shall be subject to the approval of the Design Engineer' is intended to mean that any repairs that cannot be effected by use of the ' dry pack' method as described by the Bureau of Reclamation shall be subject to the Design Engineer's approval. Dry pack as stated in the Bureau of Reclamation's Manual may be used for:
- 1. holes less than six inches square having a depth equal to or greater than the least surface dimension.
Minimum depth should be one inch;
- 2. cone bolt, she bolt, and grout insert holes;
- 3. narrow slots cut for the repair of cracks.
Dry pack should not be used for:
- 1. relatively sFallow depressions where lateral re-straint cannot be obtained;
- 2. filling behind considerable lengths of exposed reinforcement;
- 3. filling holes which extend entirely through the i
section under consideration." (emphasis added) The docement is stamped as received by Brown and Root on June 17, 1976. [The document itself is in the possession of CEU and the above text is provided via a telephone recording transcription. CCANP is requesting that CEU provide to Applicants and all parties a copy of this memo.] The Bureau of Reclamation seems to believe that dry pac: is not an acceptable method of filling tie holes. Perhaps three years after receiving this standard, Brown and Root, Inc. decided to accept the Bureau of Reclamation advice.
- 16. (b) Describe the substance of each conversation.
See 16 (a).
- 16. (c) Produce all documents upon which CCANP relies to support this assertion.
The only other document upon which CCANP relles to support the assertion that taper tie holes "have not been filled" or "were partially filled" is Nuclear Regulatory Commission investi-gative report 79-14 dated October 16, 1979. Allegation 4 investi-I gated during this unannounced visit was: i Page 15
i " Holes lef t in concrete wall of safety-related structures following removal of tapered form ties were not solidly filled with grout." The conclusion of the investigators was: "The allegation that holes left in concrete walls of safety-related structures after removal of tapered form ties were not solidly filled with grout was substantia-ted; however, this matter was previously identified and documented by the licensee. Corrective action was in progress." The FBI response to CCANP's FOIA request contains sworn statements relating to the tie hole problem, but as the identity of the person giving the statement is withheld and as the Applicants have their own copy of this response. CCANP does not rely on these statements at this time.
- 17. (a) Identify those persons with whom CCANP has discussed the assertion that the hole " grout is supposed to withstand significant pounds per square inch of pressure."
While CCANP did discuss this assertion with Mr. Swayze, South Texas Project Specification Concrete Conrtruction, Revision G. Section 8.2.5 states: "The compressive scrength of the grout, unless otherwise indicated on the design d awings, shall not be less than 6,000 p.s.t. at 28 days or earlier."
- 17. (b) Describe the substance of each conversation.
The discussion with Mr. Swayze mainly considered the question whether the grout used to fill the tie holes needed to be able to withstand significant pounds per square 1 ich of pressure. Mr. Swayze stated his opinion that it did and that this ability was required by the specifications.
- 17. (c) Produce all documents upon which CCANP relles to support this assertion.
The only document relied upon is the specification noted in 17(a) which Applicants already have.
- 18. Identify the exact location of the taper tie hole tested by Mr. Swayze by using " blunt steel rods."
Unfortunately Mr. Swayze cannot remember which of the hundreds of tie holes was so tested.
- 19. (a) Identify the exact location of the waterproof membranes which "were put on at night and never inspected."
CCANP is temporarily stymied in its investigation of the membranes.-Unfortunately, CCANP's contention I stated in part 4 that "There are membranc seals in the containment structure which are damaged...." Mr. Swayze's allegation pertains to the Fuel Handling Buildings and Mechanical Electrical Auxiliary Buildings. When CCANP requested documents related to the membranes placed on the Fuel Handling Butidings and the Mechanical Electrical Auxiliary Buildings. Appitcants refused such documents on the ground that the contention used the phrase containment structure. CCANP's argument that by "contains.ent structure" CCANP had meant the containment building and the two buildings attached to the containment building was to no avail. The answer to Interrogatory 19 will have to await either a change in attitude on the part of Applicants or submission of a revised contention by CCANP. Page 16
.i i l
- 19. (b) Identify the date the waterproof membranes identified in (a), above, were installed.
See 19(a).
- 19. (c) Identify the date Mr.
Swayze " attempted to have the backfill removed so that inspection could take place." Without the documents to refresh his memory, Mr. Swayze is unable to pinpoint these dates.
- 19. (d) Identify each inspection that was omitted for the locations of the waterproof membrane identified in (a), above.
Without the documents to refresh his memory, Mr. Swayze is unable to pinpoint these locations. l In the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Investigative Report 79-14 noted above, allegation 3 states: " Waterproofing membrane was installed at night on Reactor Containment Building (RCB), Unit No. I and Fuel Handling Building (FHB), Units No. I and 2 without proper QC inspection prior to backfill." In their findings, the inspectors state: "3. The allegation that waterproofing membrane was in-stalled at night on RCB, Unit No. I and FHB, Units 1 and 2 without proper QC inspection could not be substantiated. Five individuals interviewed by the investigation team stated that they had no knowledge of improper inspection of the membrane prior to back-filling. Review of QC records and the inspection procedure for waterproofing membrane was inconclusive and resulted in the identification of an unresolved item pertaining to the frequen y of inspections stated in the procedure."
- 20. Describe the damage which CCANP asserts has occurred to the membrane seals in the containment structure referenced in Conten-tion 1, paragraph 4.
CCANP concedes that Contention 1, paragraph 4 is poorly worded from the standpoint of what CCANP actually means to contend. The need for revising this contention is obvious and an effort will be made to do so in the very near future.
- 21. Explain precisely how the damage to the membrane seals violates the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Sections X, XV, and XVI.
See 20 above.
- 22. Explain precisely how the alleged absence of waterproof membrane inspections at night affects " safety-related functions."
CCANP uses a line of reasoning similar to the reasoning set forth in NCR #S-C 3518 noted above concerning cadwelds. The absence of adequate documentation on the placement of waterproof membranes renders the quality of those membranes not inspected unacceptable and/or indeterminate. The purpose of waterproof membranes is to prevent the entry of water into various buildings, such as the Fuel Handling Buildings, and Mechanical Electrical Auxiliary Butidings. Were water to enter these buildings, electrical equip-ment could be adversely affected and the safety of the plant impaired. Page 17

- 35. (a) Identify by number the cadwelds "which are not capable of being verified."
While CCANP is not certain how s?.haustive the work of Applicants to date in identifying such cadwelds has been, CCANP directs Applicants attention to NCR #S-C 3518 and NCR #S-C 3584 attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and 14, respectively. These documents prcvide the identity of 2,194 cadwelds which are not capable of being verified. CCANP would also notes that in CCANP's answers to Applicants first set of interrogatories, ctrtain documents were withheld. Later these documents were released to Applicants with a statement from CCANP that to the best of CCANP's knowledge the documents provided a list of cadweld records which had been forged. CCANP has had an opportunity to examine the documents in question at the construction site. Based on this examination, CCANP has concluded that the six page list attached hereto as Exhibit 20 is not a list of forged documents but rather a correct list of documents or entries missing from the vault. Since many of these FSQ packages have no records at all contained in them, CCANP I assumes that all cadweld placed in the areas covered by these FSQ's are also not verifiable. ]
- 35. (b) Describe precisely the " verification" process which CCANP asserts is required and has been omitted in regard to the cadwelds identified in (a), above.
The attachment to NCR #S-C 3584 does an excellent job of identifying the verification process required.

CCANP will forward the information on to Applicants and the other parties. 37 Identify exactly that portion of the NRC regulations or South Texas Project Quality Assurance Procedures which CCANP asserts requires that " quality control inspectors verify that the engineering action taken in response to the field request for engineering action was based on the actual problem as it existed in the field." 10 CFR 50, Appendix B Criterion I states: "The quality assurance functions are those of (b) verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspection, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been correctly performed. The persons and organiza-tions performing quality assurance functions shall have sufficient authority and organizational freedom to verify implementation of solutions."
- 38. (a) Identify specifically each design change approved by site representatives of the design engineering department "without submitting the changes to Houston."
CCANP does not have adequate information to answer this interrogatory. As further information is developed, this informa-tion will be forwarded on to Applicants and the other parties. Since changing of design by site representatives was a policy of Applicants, the number of instances may be quite large.

In reviewing Interrogatory 22 in the Appiteants first set of interrogatories and the CCANP answer to that interrogatory, CCANP concludes that the answer by CCANP should have been "No". The quality cortrol inspectors are responsible for seeing that con-struction is carried out in accordance with design, not for verifying design changes. At the same time, quality control inspectors do have a responsibility to assure the design engineer i making a change is doing so based on accurate information as to 1 the existing situation.
- 40. Identify exactly that portion of the NRC Regulations and/or South Texas Project Quality Assurance Procedures which CCANP asserts requires that the " original designer" approve design changes.
Perhaps CCANP is confused, but this interrogatory referrices CCANP's answer #27 in the first set. Answer #27 in the first set says: "See 24." Answer #24 does not say that CCANP asserts that i the original designer approve design changes. Answer 24 asserts i that " verbal approval by on site personnel is not subject to design 4 control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design."
- 41. (a) Identify specifically each design change verbally approved by Mr. Doug Robertson.
CCANP does not have information at this time to give specific instances as requested.
- 41. (b) Identify each person with whom CCANP has discussed the assertion in (a), above.
Mr. Daniel E. Swayze.
- 41. (c) Describe the substance of each conversation.
The substance of the conversations is contained in answer
- 29, first set.
- 41. (d) Produce all documents upon which CCANP re11es to support the assertion described in (a), above.
See (a), above. Pursuant to CCANP's contention that Mr. Doug Robertson is a geotechnical engineer, Exhibit 21 is the biographical information provided by Brown and Root concerning Mr. Robertson. Attached as Exhibit 22 is Quality Assurance Procedure, ST-QAP-5.3, Earthwork (cover page and pages 7 and 6A). Page 7 identifies Mr. D. Robertson as " Site Geotechnical Engineer." Page 6A shows the position of the Geotechnical Engineer in the organizational j chart for " Site Earthwork."
- 42. Identify by number, or otherwise, the pour cards or card CCANP alleges were falsified by:
(a? Mr. Rocky Crisp ] (bp Mr. Jack Duke e l Mr. Roger Forte d) Mr Allen Hammans ej Mr. Sam Horton (g)j Mr. Carl King f Mr. B. N. Kesarinath (h) Mr. Bill Lazear (1) Mr. Paul Pelingaris (j) Mr. Suresh H. Shah (k) Mr. Daniel E. Swayze Page 23
e = Based on further conversations with Mr. Swayze, CCANP believes the list of inspectors involved in the card game should be revised to read: a) Mr. Jack Duke b) Mr. Allen Hammons (c) Mr. Bill Lazear (d) Mr. Charles Singleton (e) Mr. Daniel E. Swayze (f) Mr. George Wilson The earlier list resulted from a misunderstanding on CCANP's part of a conversation with Mr. Swayze. As to the documents falsified by those who played cards over the four month period, CCANP is not aware of which pour cards were signed by wenich personnel. CCANP is, however, aware of some of the work that was going on during this period. What follows is a selection from the Concrete Pour Log kept by Brown and Root during the period of the card game. The selection was made on the basis of the size of the pour or the critical nature of the pour.

The allegation is that the vast majority of the pour cards signed off by inspectors on these pours did not result from any inspection. CCANP has gone to such great lengths in detailing these pours in part to establish the seriousness of the allegation concerning the card game. This detail, however, is also provided as substantiation for the charge now made by CCANP that the Region IV office of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Mr. Karl Seyfrit in particular did deliberately sabotage the FBI investigation of the South Texas Nuclear Project. J In the interview notes attached hereto as Exhibit 1 Mr. J Karl Seyfrit is recorded as saying: "The NRC conducted an investigation into the allegation that Quality Control (QC) Inspectors at STP were playing cards instead of making the required inspections. Their investigation revealed that during the period, construc-tion was almost at a standstill. Mr. Seyfrit stated he does not doubt t'Ee "i n s p ec t o r s killed time by playing cards, however, the construction during the period was-not of a criticaT~iiature." (emphasis adde'd'T-Combined with the earlier statement of Mr. Seyfrit, to-wit that the NRC would not delay licensing if they learned 88R was J falsifying the cadweld documentation, the statement quoted above, in the light of the list of actual construction work provided by CCANP, confirms CCANP's worst suspicions about the operation of the Arlington office of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For some time, CCANP has felt that the NRC Arlington office j was not really interested in exercising their regulatory function i at the South Texas Nuclear Project, but rather exercised a function I that can best be characterized as a cover-up of deficiencies. Reading the NRC investigative reports is a visit to Alice in Wonderland where forgery becomes cleaning up smudged documents and falsification of witness marks on cadwelds becomes an unresol-ved item with no further investigation to determine the extent of such falsification. These harsh words are not a pleasant task for CCANP, but the evidence has become too substantive to ignore. CCANP only hopes that the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board is equally appalled at the actions of the NRC Aritngton office and will take some action to correct the situattor. Page 25 I i

- 43. (a) Identify all of the individuals known to CCANP to have been involved in the assault on Mr. James Marshall.
l The individual who assaulted Mr. James Marshall was Mr. Joe Bazor or Bazea. (b) Identify all of the individuals known to CCAMP to have been involved in the assault on Mr. Jerry Lacey. The individual who assaulted Mr. Jerry Lacey is believed to j have been M*. Gary May. l (c) Idantify each person with whom CCANP has discussed the allegations set forth in (a) and (b), above. Mr. Daniel E. Swayze and a secretary - name unknown - at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. (d) Describe the substance of each conversation. In conversations with Mr. Swayze about the beating of James Marshall, Mr. Swayze spoke of this beating as the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back as far as inspection personnel were concerned. This assault led directly to the decision to play cards rather than risk a similar attack by carrying out inspection duties. Mr. Swayze called Mr. Lanny Sinkin of CCANP to inform him that he had heard Mr. Lacey had been beaten. Mr. Sinkin, in turn, called the NRC Arlington office and lef t a message with a secretary concerning the alleged beating. ] (e) Produce all documents upon which CCANP relies to support the allegations set forth in (a) and (b) above. Exhibit 23 is the Houston Lighting & Power Company file on the beating of James Marshall. CCANP takes note that on page 2 of this file, the person reporting the assault and related matters is three times referred to as a " informer." The use of this term indicates something about the attitude held towards those who come forward with adverse information about the construction of this particular plant. CCANP also notes the almost humorous attempt to minir.ize the assault found in the remarks of Mr. C. L. Crane on page 3 of Exhibit 23. While noting that a meeting was scheduled to discuss the " communication problems" between Q. C. concrete inspection and concrete placement supervision at about the time of the assault on James Marshall, Mr. Crane "would like to point out here that there is no evidence that clearly links the subject altercation to a general communications problem." Furthermore, Mr. Crane, on page 5 of this Exhibit, also refers to the person who reported the assault and related matters as "this informer." Exhibit 24 is the Brown and Root file on the Marshall assault, except for those pages which are exact duplicates of pages found in the Houston Lighting & Power file. CCANP is disturbed that page 2 of this exhibit seems to have information deleted. Applicants and Brown and Root have been less than forthcoming with these files. When CCANP's and CEU's first set of interroga-tories asked for the investigative file on the beating of James Marshall, the App 1tcants responded with a dental that either the Applicants or Brown and Root had such a file. It was only after CCANP answered the first interrogatories with an exhibit clearly demonstrating that such an investigation had been underta-ken did the Applicants supplement their response by saying that both the Applicants and Brown and Root had such files. Page 26
d When Mrs. Peggy Buchorn went to Houston and asked for the Brown and Root file on the beating of James Marshall, however, Brown and Root tried to deny the file to Mrs. Buchorn. Only af ter various telephone calls to Mr. Sinkin, to Washington, and to Houston did Brown and Root release the file. There was no statement made at the time of the release concerning any proprietary or confidential information, so the seeming delettons from page 2 are considered unsatisfactory by CCANP.
- 44. (a) Identify each person with whom CCANP has discussed the assertion that "Mr.
Larry Perry was fired after calling in the NRC on, among other things, the falsification of witness marks on cadwelds." Mr. Swayze has told CCANP that in early September of 1978 Mr. Larry Perry called the NRC to report what he considered violations of 10 CFR 50 and to ask for an investigation. On September 11-14, 1978, NRC investigators went to the construction site for an unannounced investigation. Their inves-tigation, Report 78-15, substantiated a number of Mr. Perry's allegations as noted previously by CCANP. The exit interview was held on September 14 at which time the licensee representatives were informed of the allegations and the findings. On September 21, 1978, Mr. Larry Perry was terminated. (b) Describe the substance of each conversation. See (a), above. (c) Produce all documents upon which CCANP relies to support the assertion set forth in (a), above. The only document CCANP relies upon is the NRC Report 78-15 which Applicants should already have a copy of and the employment records supplied by Applicants in response to CCANP's first set of interrogatories.
- 45. (a) Identify specifically each and every instance of "inti-midation" or " abuse" which CCANP asserts was " endemic."
CCANP should perhaps have said " epidemic." Identification of the victims of any epidemic is most difficult. The documentation provided in reponse to other interrogatories about intimidation and abuse show the pattern which CCANP asserts. (b) Identify each person with whom CCAMP has discussed the allegations set forth in (a), above. CCANP has held press conferences and addressed numerous groups on the subject of intimidation and abuse of inspectors at the South Texas Nuclear Project. The naming of these persons is impractical. (c) Describe the substance of each conversation. See (b), above. (d) Produce all documents on which CCANP relies to support the allegations set forth in (a), above. The documents produced in response to the first set of interrogatories and earlier interrogatories in this set regarding intimidation and abuse of inspectors are the only documents currently in CCANP hands, other than the FBI report, the relevant Page 27
pages of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 25. If more documents do become available. CCANP will forward them on to Applicants and to the other parties.
- 46. (a) Explain precisely how Exhibit P shows " pervasive construc-tion errors."
The documents in Exhibit P show that, in the words of T. K. Logan, Lead Civil Engineer (HL8P), "B8R Construction personnel have a poor understanding of the word ' quality' and how it relates to inspection prior to placement." As explained in the answers to Appitcants first set of interrogatories Exhibit 0, attached hereto as Exhibit 4, provides an insight into these punch lists in that "all items identified 1 on the punch lists were valid." l Finally, the term punch lists applies to those item written up by inspectors which are in error. The pervasive aspect is derived from the number of 1? s written up on one particular construction.
- 46. (b) Explain precisely how Exhibit P shows "the tension between construction workers and inspectors."
Applicants have misunderstood. Exhibit P read in the context of Exhibit 0 shows the tension causes and effects. I i
- 46. (c) Identify each instance in which CCANP asserts that i
" pervasive construction errors" caused " tension between construc-tion workers and inspectors." 1 CCANP is not prepared to provide lengthy detail on each Instance in which pervasive costruction errors cause tension i between construction workers and inspectors. CCANP believes that Exhibit 4 provides a clear showing of this contention, j
- 46. (d) Identify each individual with whom CCANP has spoken concerning the " tension between construction workers and inspec.
tors." Mr. Daniel E. Swayre.
- 46. (e) Produce each document upon which CCANP relies for the conclusion set forth in (c), above.
These documents have already been produced as either an exhibit to the first set of answers or as an exhibit to this set.
- 47. Identify each and every construction record, other than the
" pour cards" referenced in Contention 1, Paragraph d., which you assert has been falsified. Each and every construction record, including but not limited to cadweld records, signed by any inspector who played cards rather then inspecting.
- 48. Identify each person you intend to call as a witness at the Hearing to testify to matters relating to Contention 2 or any part of Contention 2.
CCANP has under consideration dropping Contention 2. If Contention 2 is continued, CCANP will call Mr. Dale Bridenbaugh. j i
- 49. (a) List all events which can cause reactor coolant pressure to increase above "specified limits."
Page 28
a l As CCANP was unable to reach Mr. Bridenbaugh regarding this contention, CCANP's answer will have to wait for another day. (b) What are the "specified limits" for coolant pressure. See (a), above. (c) Describe every sequence of events which will result in the failure of automatic pressure relief mechanisms, thereby allowing a pressure rise "to go unchecked." See (a), above. (d) What pressure will cause the " fracture or rupture of the vessel?" See (a), above. !!. Production of Other Documents

Cardner JOB No: 35-1197 $UBJECT: Construction / Quality Assurance Interfacing Recently we experienced an unfortunate incident in which one of our people was hurt. This occurred during a confrontation between a craf t concrete foreman and a Civil inspector over the support of a concrete pump slickline. Heated words were ex-changed and the craft foreman grabbed the inspector's shirt and forced him down on the reinforcing mat. The concrete foreman no longer works on the job and the in-spector has now returned to work. As a result, an extensive investigation was conducted by B&R into the matter. In addition, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission i became involved in a separate investigation of the insLdent. CD It was discovered during both investigations that thert existed an inordinate amount C of f riction between the Construction Concrete craf t and Civil QC. The NRC described the friction as a two-way street and 'bota groups were at fault for the friction. Our 19 main concern and the NRC's is inspector intimidation and whether because of intimids-tion that the inspectors would overlook quality aspects of the job. It was determined e 1 through interviews with the inspectors that they do not accept any unacceptable con-ccionM11 owed to contim4e, however, it is felt that it could 1 g-- ~. dicio,gsv. If tive, f r(?"tfiWo'r'.ki rg .,o-.. C ' [ e. T.. W J.( etf det "'t6iuTitty d.... g a s.... The steps that follows have been*taken to eliminate the friction between the two groups: i v* 1. Requiring all personnel (Construction and QA/QC) to assume a professional b. and businesslike approach when in contact with each other. CD 2. If it is apparent that either party is, becoming angry or beligerent in his attitude the other party shall immediately leave the area and report the C problem to his supervisor. The supervisor shall icaediately report the in-cident to the Site QC Supervisor'ot the Project QA Hanager. 3. Explain' to both groups what each others responsibilities are, i.e., Construc-tion is responsible for providing production, meeting schedules, and maintain-ing quality; QA/QC is responsible for ensuring quality is maintained and is obligated to report any deficiencies discovered during construction for proper disposition. 4. Stressing that whatever the circumstances, physical contact or verbal abuse is never a solution and shall not be condoned. The following practical considerations will be found helpful in maintaining a profes-sional attitude on your part and in securing and maintaining a working relationship with interfacing organizations and individuals: 1. Attempt to tell Construc, tion when they have donc a good job. A continuous negative approach tends to precipitate a negative attitude. \\ tA ,P CO D T-\\ y .L":.:n T APR ,1.,,a > - ~ ec Q % of ce f Decth;a g;m s ti-- s. R(. Il_ ; \\ : '- - EXHIBIT 4 7__
y y Brown (JRoct.!nc. ) 1 m'. 2. The approach to problems or discrepancies should be with the attitude i that it is a 8&R problem, not a Construction Engineering, and/or QA problem. As such, it is a shared concern. Use of the word, "WE", will La found helpful in promoting this attitude. 3. Try to avoid an impression of arrogance. The person (s) with whom you are dealing should be assumed to be competent and in any case is entitled to his own dignity as a human being. Talking down to him will not contribute I to the problem solution. Use of the words, "MR.", "PLEASE", and "THANK YOU", as appropriate,will assist you in this effort. Use of such words does not' detract from your own position. 4. Try to take advantage of any opportunity to improve your own technical com-potence. All of the above items shall be used as guidelines fo'. all QA/QC personnel in their C. association with Construction or any interfacing organization.

First, they determined that the structural integrity was compromit.ed and that the containnent as-built could not meet the load criteria for which it w0s designed. There was also speculation that the contiamnent polar "cranc.could fail in service. Second, BER attributed the incident to a deficiency in construction and a breakdown in QA. Pete qualified the report by explaining that it was HER's opinion that the f ailure of 'the po.lar cranc uculd have occurred during the lift of t he id7 durin. conctruction anc tneref ore, the deficirney could not r i have remained unco;'rected. lie al:,o pointed out that the deficiency could have been detected during pre-operational containracnt structural t e:. t i ng. I exp1'ained to Pete that the words in 50.LS(e)(1): ...ucre it to have remained uncorrected...'?, were not meant to be applicable to this line, of reasonirig. BER has used this approach on prior incidents und it,was rejected at that tinae by the !!LEP Incident Revieu Con.rai t t ee.

wm Q U h s A preliminary inspection of the top surface of the concrete at' elevation 138'-0" re-vaaled veids in the following areas along the liner place. The forms have not been removed as of this date, hence the top surface of the concrete only can be observed. (1) At approximate azimuth 5' elevation 138'-0" N Length of void - 12" Vidth of void - 4" to 7h" Depth of void - 3'-0" to 5'-0" (2) At approximate azimuth 15* Length of void - 12" Wisich of void - 3" to 5" ^ Depth of void 10" to 14" (3) At approximate azimuth 16* -Length of void - 16" Width of void - 3" to 5" Depth of void - l'-0" to 3'-6" Concrete between vo:.d #2 and #3 is bad. Same needs to be removed Since the above voiets were observed, it was decidad to check for hollow sound, if I any, by tapping along'the liner place. Making use of the existing catwalk plat form around the liner at clovation 129'-0". we tsoped the liner plate. *The possibla void areas as indicat ed by M 11ow s'our.d are n.R * *..k : Refercnco Point Elevation Location 1. 326 129'-0" to 132'-0" Below bracket 2. 320* 130' 8'-3" towards 330 3. 335* 129'-0" to 132'-0" Below bracket 4. 330* 130'-0" to 132'-0" Belaw' bracket 5. 335' 131'-3" 2'-9" towards 34CT 6. 335' 132'-0" to 133'-0" 10'-0" to 13'-0" towards 350* 7. 350" 132'-0" to 133'-0" 2'-0" to 5'-0" towards 35G" 8. 350* 129'-0" to 131'-0" Delow bracket 9. 350* 130'-O to 131'-0" 2'-6" to 4'-0" towards 360* M O. 35(f 132'-6" to 133'-6" 6'-0" to 9'-0" towards 360* 11. 05* 132'-3" to 133'-0" 8'-0" to 9'-0" towards 360* 12. 05" 133'-S" to 134'-3" 6'-0" to 7'-0" towards 360* 13. 05* 134'-0" to 133'-O'5J) 4'-0" towards 360" 14. 05* 129'-0" to 132'-0" Balow bracket 15. 05* 131'-9" we 4'-0" to 5'-0" towards 10* 16. 0 $* 133'-6" to + d/-6" 10'-6" to 11'-6" towards 20 ,17. 20* 132'-6" 'J' h*' O,, 7'-0" to 8'-0" towards 05* 18. 20, 130'-6" 3'-6" to 4'-0" towards 05 8 19. 20* 129'-0" to 132'-0" Below bracket 20. 20* 131'-6" 6'-0" towards 35* 21. 2 0* ' 132'-6" to 133'-0" 9'-0" to 10'-0" towards 25' 22, 35* 133'-9" 3'-0" towards 20* 23. 35* 131'-0" 4'-0" to 6'-0" towards 20' 24. 35* 130'-0" 8'-0" to 9'-0" towards 50* 25. 50* 132'-0" 3'-0" to 7'-0" towards 35' O w G I D D" D 1 Lb g l l -l.

- Frank, Mr Taylor indicated that he had been contacted by an infor=er regarding an incident that occurred Thursday, June 30, 1977. This incident involved an alleged altercation between a MR Construction fore =an and a B!LR QC inspector during a concrete placement. In addition to this information, the informer alleged that this was one incident in a series of threats and intinidations by ER Construction against B&.R QC inspectors. In addition, the infczter i
indicated that a ER Constzvetion superintendent told his troops that any QC inspector writing DIR's during concrete place =ents would be fair game. Mr Taylor's concern was that these allegations could have resulted in an unacceptable level of quality of the work perfetted to date. Mr Taylor indicated that he might possibly be onsite Tuesday, July 5, to investigate the allegations. Bill Ibillips 7-5-77 t l Uwf.gNJ.@lN I9FsL o en o 70]"[. & ~ tj...

SUBJECT:
June 30, 1977 Altercation CORRES. NO. f'T-BC-ES-0806-JRM between Q. C. Inspector & Concrete Foreman Prior to 'the subject altercacion there was evidence that connunication problems were developing between Q. C. concrete inspection and concrete placement supervision. This demonstrated itself primarily in, what ap-peared to construction to be, an ever increasing hassle to get pour cards signed off. This was not an alarming problem but one both construction and Q. C. had recognized and a meeting had been sheeduled to discuss it. i The meeting, however, f ailed to take place as scheduled, because of a problem that developed pertaining to Document Control that required io-rediera, attention of those per:ecncl that would have been t.t t'. ectir.g. l Before the meeting could be rescheduled this June 30th incident occured. l However, I would like to point out here that there is no evidence that clearly links the subject altercation to a general con:=unications problem. It appears that two (2) individuals made antagonizing consents to each other that resulted in the physical confrontation. This may or u.ay not have been avoided by a meeting. Pertinent statements are attachedt however, the following vill sucmarize I how the incident appears to construction: I 1. A. Watson, party chief, requested from Joe Bazea, concrete foreman, that slick line be lifted off of screed. Foreman's response was, according to Adrian, short and belligerent. ~ 2. Adrian proceeded to seek out the concrete general foreman. On his way he was stopped by J. Marshall and he explained to Marshall the slick line problem and it: plied that the fore-man was uncooperative. Adrian did not explain that he was going to get the general foreman. Harsha11, in his statement, said that Adrian requested his help; however, in an interview Adrian denied requesting Marsha11'.s participation. A,. 7 f s M 3'I D**D _d D A n q N

4-w /.l.,'., Crown;7RooUnc. / July 8, 1977 ST-BC-ns-0806-JRH Marshall proceeded to where Joe Eateo was verking and re-3. Re-quested that the slick line be lif ted from the screed. ports are conflicting to Marshall's manner. Some say he was impolite and belligerent, vrile others would indicate he was polite and businesslike. In any case there is svidence that would support Joe Basea's testimony that he was verbally abused, hence provoked. (See attached statements). It is appropriate here to describa the conditions under which the concrete crev was working. This particular pour was being placed using a slick line that requires periodic breaking down and removing sections and man handling of a' long heavy hose at the end. The vertical devel congestion, the heat, and poor air circulation added to the difficulty. The pour began during the heat of the day and was approximately three (3) hours old when the incident occured. J. Marshall, to this point, had not been involved in the placement process, but had been at the truck discharge. It is unlikely that he was aware of the dif ficult working conditions the crew had been fighting for three (3) hours. Had he been with this crew from the beginning it is probat a that he would not have had the same sense of urgency cone ening the screed which would not be f actor for approximate./ two (2) hours. 4 Based on the' statements attached and interviews with other personnel it is our conclusion that both parties were at ( fault and disciplinary action should be taken; however, it should be taken equitably. Joe Bases, however, has quit. To prevent reoccurance of this type of incident we have held a joint coet-ing with Q. C. and construction supervisors and clearly explained what the procedure vill be for handling disagreements and what the results will be if this procedure is not followed. In addition the concrete department suparvisors has held meeting with all concrete personnel and explained This policy basically is that where disagreements .this policy to them. develop it will be reported through the proper chain of responsibility and handled in a businesslike manner. Failure to follow this policy will vill result in disciplinary action. Concerning the informer's statement to Mr. Taylor as recorded by Bill Phil-lips-the following is in replyt 1. " series of threats to insrector" - In investigating this the l inspectors are unable to identify the persons making threats. e l If identification can be made disciplinary action vill be ( taken. In any case we have instructed all personcel that thers will be no threats. Q .G.- 1 ~. W + g 2> W a l / / ?4 . pix. ?. 2,

l- = "On June 30, 1977, around 2:30 p.m., I relieved Steve Schlumpberger on the placement of a concrete pour. L' hen I f' rst vent in, Adrian (Field Enr.ineer) asked me to ask the forenan to move the slick line because it was interfering with the proper elevation of grade. I went over to speak to the concrete 'foteman, Joe B. and asked him when he had a chance would he move the slick - line because it was interfering with the grade. He turned to me and said if I wanted the slick line noved, to pick the fucking thir; up myself because he only had six men working. At that time Chuck Singleton valked up to me and Joe asked him why he had to move the line and why he had to do this and that. Chuck said he didn't know because he just got there. Joe then turned to me and said, "Did you call me a son-of-a-bitch?" I said, "r;o, I didn' t call you anything." He then grabbed me by the shirt and said, " Yeah, you called me a sen-of-a-bitch'" He was pushing me and I had a hold of his arns trying to hold him of f hoping the guy would calm devn. He continued pushing and Chck Singleton was trying to get him to turn Icose. Ho con-tinued pushing and forced re to lose my balance and I fell down into the rebar kith him on top of me. Then Chuck Singleton got hold of Dan Swayze and Terr > Cardrer to Cet some help down inside the reactor containment pour.

I saw Joe push the QC can down onto a steel rebar mat - still fighting.-ith each other for about two minutes on the mat. Both men were a tive against each other in the fit,ht. I did not see either of the= take a punch at each other, I just saw them struggling and h:1 ding each other back.

In my opinion, the F QC Supervisor does not comunicate the ideas of the QC Manager DF to the inspectors. Also, the QC Supervisor will make a t=y k decision without proper explantion to the inspector. This appears to-the inspector that the supervisor is willfully p{Z _t violating a specification or procedure to progress with the i r y-construction. This point was discussed with the QC Supervisor. i gj It would be beneficial to do a resurvey of these fkk e areas in three months. It is recommended that an outside 6 person representing construction also be involved to make i-@ suggestions on possible arcas of improvement. L-In sumary, the QC inspectors were adequately per-P2, J ^ forming their duties. All items on the punch lists were i;=;0 legitimate in regards to specifications and procedures. A ?.;(( ) major area of concern was Constrv' tion Managements' attitude gg toward the QC staff and their purpcse.

l A by C. M. Singleton on April 27,1g7.9 in a less than acceptable 1 E: { k, conditions. Pravin Shah, Cudapah Guruprasad and I came to work iL _ f, at 6:00 a.m. on 4-27-79 in order to make a final inspection on ~ y lif t 5 in RCB f 2 for placement at 7:00 a.m. While Shah finished v 6 his paperwork, I got a flashlight and a mirror and went to the RCB ? f* - f2 to begin clean-up inspection with Guruprased, he being out-X f side the wall and I inside. Working my way down to the constrution4a p. joint; I found it to be covered in several large areas with sand, 4 mill scale and rust from the rebar and liner, cadweld slag, paper, my cigarette butts, candy wrappers, tie wire, etc. The paper, cigar-JJ ette butts and wrappers were in a few isolated spots, and by no L j means en the entire joint, but the sand, mill scale, rust and N ^ slag was covering close to 90", of the joirt. f In addition, the lowest horizontal channel approximately two to three inches higher i_i than the construction joint was in was in some spots filled with J. 3'7 sand and beneath the channel, sand was piled against the verticle f d angles welded to the liner plate. .Af ter entering several areas, and crawling arcund I deternir.ed tha-1- ~ the entire construction joint still needed cleaning at the hari-2 zental channel. It was also determined that the verliical angles J 4 needed cleaning. This was brought to the attention of Joe Webb, v. Chet Scutelle, B.N. Kasarinath, Ross Peabody and several con-b ( j struction general foremen. I also explained ?e condition to k Herb Casanova, Se'nior Lead Civil QC Inspector he had been sent M. A f down to the placemett area to see what the prcblem was, and why k; b. had I not signed the pour off. 7; [:.. Chet 'Scutelle then asked 'me to make a final inspection of place-P. ment C12-W64B on the inside of RCB (2 so that they could be p i something while craf t clean'ed up CS2-W5. After inspecticn of C12-U643, I signed the pour card and went back outside to see if r-C;. d cleanir.g had been completed on CS2-WS. At this time, I was asked T... by constructio'n to pinpoint each aree that needed cleaning. 1 =~ 'k' stated that this was not our function as inspecters but w:vid do it ever. though it could take us three to four hours.to co:plete, b h Chet Scutelle later talked to me alone, and he asked what was wren; --- with the pour. He said that it was in no worse ccndition than E G l(: other pcurs made on the'shell. I stated that he was wrong, that b I had seen pours that were cleaned right, and I had inspected the. p myself. Boutelle than stated that he woud try to'ge it (the pour) 7-off my hsnds. P2

^ I _O .,0 s e. w u c= 2 .n i h;' v s During our inspection, Chuck Singleton, Civil QCE Supervisor, $L . arrived at the placement and was looking at one of the areas into M 3 which I had gone through. This area had just had water sprayed b
- s on in from the tcp with no blowing with compressed air. The E
area had al'1 cf d the aforerientioned clean-up problems and no one ) had been into it to clean it af ter.I had cotten out. Singleton E-h. -claimed that the only thing that ne'eded cleaning was the lower M horizontal channel which, he said had very little sand in it. n I th had seen, prior to his inspection, that the channel was nearly fit f. full of sand as far as 1 could. see both ways. After going into f2 one more area;'*he said*'the same was true, a6'd the sand on the P3-5 construction joint would not be detrimental to the quality of the F 4 concrete. I shook my head, left the placement area and went back f& i.- to my.' field office. Es l g. ht- ~ 4 Approximately fifteen minutes later Singleton ca'11ed me on the '1 radio to say that.he needed me at. the pour card box. I returned (h. to the placement area and he told me that he would assume the C responsibility for the clean-up. 1 said, " Fine, sign it off ", b l t which het did. He then told me to sign the bottom line of the pourg. G card and I refused stating that I did not agree with his decis.icn W and I would not sign it. y He then stated that he would sign it, y=" i t and get with me later, to which I said "You do that, get with me if ( p later". The placement was finally, signed-off around 11:00 a.m. [._ k (- In my opinion, placement.CS2-W5 was sig.ned-off even though, it 55;
- -s was not cleaned sufficiently. Whereas, I had been into between Pr-
.h 10 to 15 places and Singleton had been into only two, he could

I y' have had no conception of the magnitude of the clean-up pecblem E. that was involved. He erred in his judgement to sign the pour h-off prior to his. complete inspection of the area, and he could not have gone into some of the areas that I had, because of our physical differenees and the difficulty encountered by me in d[r.- tryi.ng to perform a th rough inspection. b a m-
