ANSWER.
-In response to a cancern expressed by Mr. Wampler that he was preparing.Non -
)
conformance Reports (NCR) at the time of his resignation and was uncertain how
-j they would be handled, the NRC perfonned an inspection.
.i The inspection is.
documented in Inspection Repo'rt 50-443/83-22, and the inspector verified that
!j the turnover process.from Mr. Wampler, the' previous Level III, was being' controlled.
The inspector reviewed two Nonconformance Reports which had been-generated.by Mr. Wampler, and spot checked his in-process records. The original statement by Mr. Wampler was that there were' approximately-16 NCR's _to be =
l j
written; an exact number was not provided.
The Nonconformance Reports reviewed
-j j
by the inspector were properly processed and numbered 5689 and -5773.
l A recent~
records search by the licensee only revealed one other nonconformance report-written by Mr. Wampler in his short term of employment of approximately four months.

- QUESTION 6..(Continued) l.
s i
The NRC believed that Mr. Wampler'used the term nonconformance reports in the l
generic sense in that his reports described' deficiencies.
In fact, the documents that he was in the process of generating were most likely Repair l-
-Orders. The Pullman-Higgins Procedure, Defect Removal and Repair by Welding,
- JS-!X-14, was the controlling procedure for--the activities that Mr. Wampler.was
~ I t
j 1
I performing. Paragraph 3.3 of the procedure states," Unacceptable conditions identified through application of a required NDE method shall be reported by the NDE Technician to the NDE Supervisor, or his designee', on a Repair Order..." The usual conditions that were identified by radiographic examination were capable
' j t
of being repaired within the scope of the installation procedure and would not-l require a Nonconformance Report.
Without weld identification numbers, the staff is unable to identify deficiency reports or other documentation written by others for the approximately 16 non-conformance reports that Mr. Wampler stated he was to prepare, The staff has spoken to Mr. Wampler and was informed he has a personal log from his work at Seabrook. The staff will interview Mr. Wampler to obtain the weld-identifica-l l
tion numbers for the welds of concern and will provide the weld examination l
report or other documentation which shows the final disposition of these welds.
