JUN 2 1980 Mrs. Virginia J. Durham Box 256 N.,
RD#1 Blackwood, NJ 08012
Dear Mrs. Durham:
~
Your March 21, 1980 letter to President Carter concerning the qualifications of personnel engaged in the design of the Fermi Nuclear Station was recently referred to the NRC for response.
This question was raised during a March television program, 20/20, on ABC News.
The Nuclear Regulato y Commission's (NRC) investigation into this matter disclosed that cert..in Detroit Edison Company activities failed to comply with the NRC's requirements.
Effective controls governing small bore piping suspen-sion design were not in effect.
In addition, it was determined that the resumes of certain individuals did contain false information, but that the resumes were not relied upon in selecting these personnel.
With regard to your specific concern with personnel qualifications at the Fermi site, the NRC investigation has determined, that in general, the qualifications of these people were adequate to perform their required design function.
Detroit Edison will no longer be using the employment service that originally supplied the people.
What was found to be of concern in this regard however, was the fact that Detroit Edison had not established personnel qualification require-ments for these design positions, nor had the utility performed a proper review of the final design product.
The utility has been issued a Notice of Violation which requires appropriate corrective action and steps to prevent a recurrence.
The utility response to this NRC citation is now being reviewed and evaluated by the inspection staff to determine the acceptability of Detroit Edison's proposed actions.
The specific corrective measures will be subsequent.ly verified during a future NRC inspection.
NRC inspectors have previously performed, as a part of their routine inspection program, several inspections of the design and installation of large diameter pipe supports, and the defici-ies that were found were brought to the attention of Detroit Edison for i ective action.
You also ques,tioned what kind of security clearance is required for sud workers.
The're are no security clearances required of designers or construc-tion personnel associated with the construction of a nuclear powered electric generating facility.
The main reason for this is that there is no nuclear grade material involved until operation of the facility begins.

JUti 2 1980 Mrs. Virginia J. Durham '
We appreciate having the opportunity to respond to the concerns you expressed.
The problems found at the Fermi site as a result of the ABC television investigation, have been fully identified and will be corrected not only at Fermi but at all other nuclear sites where they may be found to exist. We trust this information is responsive to your concerns.
Sincerely, Harold D. Thornburg, Director Division of Reactor Construction Inspection Office of Inspection and Enforcement Distribution:
