WEST BRANCH CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION'S REPLY TO MEMORAN-

.DUM AND. .ORDEILCE..QCTOBER _l, 1982, ( received October 8 )

on page 23 of above listed Order, under Board ,

question 2.2.1 it is stated that "Other parties are in-vited to address it as well." It is not clear to us -

what " address" means. How will we be expected to address it? As we read it the burden of lead intei venor is, 'in essence, being shifted. It appears that part of the 2.2(d) question could be addressed under new 2.2.1 but not all of it. And if WBCA would no longer be the lead intervenor will there be the same constraints as heretofore regarding the number of intervenors who will be cross examining?

Is 2.2.1 a subpart of 2.2 as listed on page 397 Question 5 of the Commission starts " Based on the foregoing. . ." which we assume means the first f our ques-tions, therefore, we disagree with your findings in the for WEST BRANCH CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION,

Order regarding the substance of 2.2(d) . It is our con-tention, perhaps not stated well enough on December 2 but in prehearing conference, that it is necessary to make a complete recheck of the entire plants to remove - insofar as perceptible, the " hidden" defects. Those that are now corrected, which we observed in our inspection of unit #3 on July 2, 1982 such as the replacement of the fan cooler coils, etc. were late modifications, flaws in the original design. Coned has been fined for using epoxy, add-ons to repair, wiring of pumps on the wrong side of fuses -

all proof enough of a lack of quality control both during construction and during repairs. TheNuclearRegughtory Commission does not seem to have a strong enough policy and we see no reason based on past performance to now leave this important program to the NRC Staff. We are asking for a complete reinspection with appropriate tests of the pi-ping systems, electrical systems and control systems. Any improvements will add to the safety and are not covered in the Director's Order, which only addressed specific prob-lems.

Defects have caused a serious accident at unit #2, the flood of 1980, October. The NRC fined Coned $210,000 for doing somethibg wrong which we contend indicates a need for improvement in construction quality and myopia on the part of past inspections. Examples are: sump pump float control - the float rod had no guide at the bottom

4 "

6 and jammed. It had hung up and jammed previously. Part of the trouble with leaks had to do with breaks in the cement lining of certain pipes, and which was known. The contain-ment floor pitched the wrong way. allowing the water to jump the curbs. Water level indicators were not properly cali-brated. There were no external indicators of the pumping operation. The whole series of events led up to the flood-ing of the reactor vessel pit and is an indication of a low level of quality control and construction. When adding common mode failures they can add up to a calamity. Therefore, a program of quality control and' inspection is needed.'

We cannot read how the above fits under 5.1 or 2.2.1 but should still remain as 2.2 (d).

If 2.2 (d) remains and can encompass what we have asked above, we can bow out of 5.1. We haven't the time to offer new bases for 5.1 between now and October 15,.a 7-day period since we received the Order on October 8, postmarked October 4.

Will the Staff mail us a copy of " Summary of July 29 meeting of SGOG Group..."? The Whida Plains Library PDR is not up-to-date. (Its last LER monthly report is dated Jan. 19821)

We request that if possible the parties list be in some way shortened to those active in the case. We find it a burden to provide copies of everything to those who never attend hearings and who do not intend to take part in questions 1,2,5 and 6.
