t OUESTION 11.
After' learning of Mr. Wampler's findings (whether before or after his employment at Seabrook was terminated) did NRC staff seek to interview Mr. Wampler with regard to his finding " excessive reject rates" in the course of his review of weld x-rays?
ANSWER.
r During the course of NRC staff conversations with Mr. Wampler in 1984, his chief concern was with violations of industrial radiography safety and the fact he may have been terminated contrary to law for reporting the issue. He was l
asked directly by the inspector if he had eouipment safety concerns to which he replied, "No."
If he had responded positively to our question concerning equipment safety, we would have pursued the issue further.
l As discussed in the response to Question 3, staff learned of the excessive reject rate concern in 1986 and determined that no additional action was necessary based on licensee corrective actions. As noted in th'e response to I
Question 6, the staff is planning to interview Mr. Wampler to obtain specific weld identification numbers.
