1.'0"Y!O'.'S A!. LEGATIONS RE: BROW & 03T During our June 16-20, 1980, inspection of Bro.m & Root, Dan Fox and I considered the applicability of the cleven !.norprus tiiegations to tr.e BLT.

houston office. By and large the alic;a: Oms a; ear tc toply te L'ds rica k'e die n:: reveti tne fact 15at fcmal activities with few exceptions, allegations had bon made but considered these ite s in the c:ntext of our The foilcaing are findings and cbrervations nomat. inspection activities.

relative to the allegations listed in the attached 1etter as they rehte i

to the Houston office activity.

This allegation was not apparent; however, there could be a tc. dency Item 1.

for-SLR engineering (management to take lightly the cco t'.vo such items were noted during this it'pection by their engineers and will be considered further in subsequent inspections).

Item 2.

There r.ay be some administrative interface problems with the NSSS,

~

but this problem may be more appropriately directed to the site where the NSSS interface is more direct. One engineer, indicated that among other site related " problems," the protective conting on HSSS components does not meet specification:requirenents and no action is being taken.

A significant number of vendor and internai B1R audits have been Item 3.

postponed, and in some ceses not retscheduled, but there is no r

evidence that " problems" are the reason.

Item 4.

Not apparent, but without specifics this' is very difficult to foliow-up.

/m item Item _5. _ There is a problem with the use of the PSAR vs. the FSAR.

similar to this was identified during our previous inspection and was made a <teviation in this inspection.

This appears to have site applicability Only.

Ite 10.

A general review of Houston office perscnnel cualificati:rs i.n: l:0 requirements do not support this allegation.

Do:urents ebtair.ed from the site concerning the Site OA i'.anager do raise questions with res;x:

to his qualifications and ex erience when compared to the requiremts for his position; h:vaver, the 7:ords we obtained tay beve Leer, it.-

c:r.plete, theref;re tr.is item snould more properly be reviewec at tne site.

' tem 11. Essed on a rather brief revian in the r.rea of ;irin; stress tr.aiysis, this item may have basis in f act.

A new engineering ;rcup has been established for snali ;ipe ar.alysis.

This ;reup er;strs to te 10 sely controlled and will be ce area of c 0ser irs;ec.icn Sring eer. ext; trip.

These allegations appear to have cri; ink ed on site, and theref: e I f:e th:n should be considered as site proolems until nore clearly deteminec te be :thtr-wise, with the possible exception of Item 11. Accordingly, I re::rr.end '.aed responsibility for further action on this matter be given to the Constrxtion Branch.

If Fox or I pan provide further information on this matter please advise.
