2.
1 elders were not qualified to the proper procedures or material thickness.
3.
1: eld filler netal control was non-existent. !? eld rods uere mixed by type, size and heat nunber in the rod ovens.
Rod fesuance was a problem (i.e. stainless steel vas welded with carbon steel rod).

,Nonconformance Reports Nonconforrance reports were inproperly dispositioned and/or closed-out by.
Nonconfornance reports were being inproperly voided.
These were being done so as not to restrict the. construction schedule.
The CF.I and Pullnan construction nanagers were working " hand-in-hand" so the con's,truction schedule was not restricted.
Non-destructive Exaninations 1;DE personnel were not qualified.
Procedures and records were inadequate.
Piping 1.
The control of procedure revisions was inadequate. The crafts did not have the current edition of revised procedures / drawings. Practices inplenented in the field were not shbun on the revisions of procedures /
drawings.
2.
Pipe fabrication was a " big problen area in general".
3.
The hancer erection procedures were inadequate.

A recent RIII inspection, by Isa Yin, was considered to have identified isolated problems, Pullman fixed the specific problens, did not look at the problems in a generic sense.
5.
P.ydrostatic procedures were inadequate and the procedures were not followed.
In several instances, hydro-testing uns done with valves closed, but nothing was done to identify and correct the valve positions.
V 6.
Plus/ngandcleaningprocedureswerenotbeingfollowed.
The CEI and Pullman construction managers were working " hand-in' hand" so the construction schedule was not restricted. ?bny problens were identified and corrected by oral instructions from the engineers and were not documented.
Engineers would be transferred so problens " fall through the cracks".
The transfers were accomplished by Pu11 nan having direct contact with CEI and
" deals" being worked out.
On January 9,1982,11arrison contacted the individual. :!arrison inforned the individual that specific information vould be needed in order to adequately pursue these arens.
The individual stated he had given all the infornation he would, as any specifics would point directly to him. The individual advised he was currently enployed and the specific infornation would jeopardize his job, as would an MRC investigation.
The individual requested this infornation be f
