James E. Foster Investigator TELEFE0NE Cb.TACI RE LA SALLE ALLEGATIONS (Ref. Warnick M ECTI Heno of 1/28/82) contacted on February 4,1982, at approximately 7:30 p.m.
indicated that Dough Longenie, the Channel 5 newsman who provided his t
me to Warnick, had not advised him that he vould be contacted by Region LI.
Nevertheless h,e was very villing to discuss his concerns with me.,
. length.
requested confidentiality.
indicated that he had been a foreman for the B. F. Foley Company LaSalle for some two years and nine toonths, had been terninated recently id had cubsequently been employed by Co=nonvcalth Electric, again at the tSalle site.
Be stated that he was terminated from Cossonucalth Electric discussed each point enumerated in the Warnick nemo, and developed the
>1 lowing information:
Conduit grounding was not properly done for most LaSalle construction.
During the late phase of construction, he had read the grounding speci-fication, questioned a QC inspector regarding specification requirer.cnts, pointed out deficiencies, and grounding was properly perforned from that point on.
Prior to that time, crews had not cicaned and copper coated conduit threads nor adequately ground off the zine conduit costings where grounding straps were attached.
Uc estimated that some 80% of the installed conduit was not properly grounded (per specification, developed from a NI2iA requirement).
In the off-gas building, there is a location where radiation sensors for Unit 1 and Unit 2 are in close proximity.
This was described as befog at the 710 foot elevation, East of AB vall, between 14 and 13 line in the filter building (part of the off-gas building).
The sensor that is not installed is for Unit 2.
feels that the Unit 2 censor should be installed nov, as the location vill be radioactive and th2 insta11ntion difficult after Unit 1 is in operation.

ktated that approximately one month ago, five heating pads -
were removed from the re-heat cylinders located in the off-gas building.
These re-heat cylinders are reached via an entrance on the 710' elevation.
cnd then by going down two elevations.
The heating pads were removed to allow some work being performed by fitters, and he believes that the pads were not replaced when the area was " closed up".
4.
Moles drilled for expansion anchors in the ceiling of the off-gas building (725 foot elevation) penetrated the concrete and asphalt roof covering.
There va's water accumulation on the roof, and water came in via the anchor bolts.
There are cracks in the concrete between holes because the holes were drilled too close to each other.
This was brought to the attention of Jim Boyle from Sargent & Lundy, and some patching was performed.
5.
The fire detector modules have been wired without regard to separation criteria. The crews were wiring the detectors from any hanger indis-criminately.
6.
Dust protection was not installed on conduits and conduit boxes as specified for dust protection.
Some have seal gaskets but no o-rings.
He observed this during installation of the security system wiring, and the required seals were installed after he brought this to the attention of Bill Bags.
In addition to the above information (which expands on that provided by Doug Longenic),
indicated that Tom McGarty was in charge of an area which had nonconformances written on some of the equipment, but the work was not corrected as indicated in the nonconformance report close-out.
McCarty had the nonconformances approved as completed when the regular inspector was absent.
He also indicated that some core-drill sheets were found to have information which had been whited-out.
(This may be related to the TV-5 story " drilling for dollars" which aired on the 10 o' clock news, February 4, 1982.
stated that Longenie had advised him that the story would air that evening. )
