Gentlemen:
This refers to the investigation conducted by Mr. R. K. Herr and Mr. L. E. Martin
i
of our staff on October 29-31, 1980, of activities authorized by NRC Construction
'
Pennit No. CPPR-145 for River Bend, Unit No.1.
The investigation was based on allegations from an annonymous source, that were
4
passed through the Union of Concerned Scientists during a conference call on
4
October 21, 1980.
The annonymous source alleged that Stone and Webster
supervisors were creating schedules and applying pressures to subordinate
engineers to meet those schedules and thereby possibly compromising good
!
engineering practices and, creating improper specification requirements for
buried cable for the River Bend Nuclear Project.
The investigation and our
findings are discussed in the enclosed investigative report.
No items of
noncompliance or deviations were identified during this investigation.
i
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
'
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosed
investigation report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
If the
report contains any information that you believe to be proprietary, it is
!
necessary that you submit a written application to this office, within 20
days of the date of this letter, requesting that such information be withheld
'
from public disclosure.
The application must include a full statement of the
reasons why it is claimed that the infonnation is proprietary.
The application
,
l
should be prepared so that any proprietary infonnation identified is contained
