MEETING WITH SCHULTZ -- 10-25-79 The issue -- growing from allegations Our approach -- 3 questions:
a) Were there incentives b) Were adjustments in the schedule made so as to be in a position to obtain incentives (inference of communication) c) Did those adjustments compromise the safety of the unit?
Summary of conclusions (see exec summary in draf t outline)
Why a consultant:
- 1. To advise us even before serious writing has begun as to whether we have overlooked possible incentives, indicia of rush or other data
- 2. If so, to advise us where to gather necessary data
- 3. If not (and time is short) to assist us in technical review of 2 major indicia of rush:
a) Replacement of Lonergan M.S. Relief valves on c* path b) Adjustments made to power ascension test program (self-imposed tests, initial warranty run deleted)
- 4. To also provide experience based on other nuclear units
- 5. Ultimately -- perhaps not until draft report is written and fully thought-out -- would want advise on whether conclusions, implications and recommendations are well reasonad and supported by investigation.
Specifc areas / questions:
- 1. What is experience on other units re: financial incentives and pace of construction / completion?
- 2. What importance is attached to unit accepetance test / initial N3. Is it common for nuclear utilities to include tests beyond warranty run? Do all vendors have such a contractual test?
FSAR or NRC-mandated tests? Common to delete?
- 4. What of C* path planning for Lonergan valves? What of superiority of design (double porting)?
- 5. What of pool pressures? Dieckamp has dismissed but wouldn't
$23/'w be significant?
- 6. Based on experience with util execs, how far does knowledge of financial incentives sink?
- 7. Is there a reason to be concerned about economic impact on safety?
- x. Please be sure to raise questions concerns, etc. at any time.
