'PRCD.& UTIL F6C.kk.'.$[p]/4(d December 3, 1981 Chairman Nunzio Palladino and Members of Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.
20555 Dear. Chairman Nunzio and Members of Nuclear Regulatory Commissions i
I.am writing your commission requesting an independent quality assur-ance audit of the San Onofre three nuclear power facilities.
Over a year ago reporter Steve Hawk.'then' employed by the Oceanside Blade-Tribune in an investigative piece of reporting revealed what was categorized as very sloppy and incompetent work on SONGS #1.
Reporter Hawk detailed the matter of patched-up pipes on this unit.
He said that whenever a piece of pipe wouldn't fit the " jumper" would just throw it out an opening and say: "To hell with it "
I have the word of SDG&E's public relations man, Dave Smith, (after I asked for the informatiorg that an audit was done by the owner (SCE),
thebuilder (Bechtel) and the supplier (Westinghouse).
I join many others in this area in,having no confidence in this " cozy arrange =
ment" on inspection and audit.
Please provide an independent audit of SONGS #1 and the new construc-tim:that is going on on the number 2 and 3 plants as well.
I remain Sincerely and respectfully B h s m k Id, ll u w N Frank H. Arundel' l
