CCANP RESPONSE TO APPLICANTS' SIXTH SET OF INTERROGATORIES AND REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUDENIS IQ CG6NE Based on a conversation with attorneys for Applicants, CCANP is providing the f ollowing response to Applicants' sixth set of; interrogatories and requests for production of documents. As will be clear from what follows, CCANP is not answering directly many of the interrogatories. The interrogatories are quite comprehensive and place a heavy buroen on CCANP to analyze every fi ndi ng in the Quadrex Report. Bechtel's responses, end the NRC's responses.
Instead. CCANP hereby sets forth the basic position of CCANP as to the issues CCANP intends to pursue and the basic posi ti on CCANP takes on those issues. Should this response not prove satisfactory to the Applicants, Applicants reserve the richt to f i l 'e motions to compel with the Atomic Safety and Licensino Board.
I. Introduction This proceeding is an adversary proceeding. Un' der NRC regulations, the burden is on the intervenor (or any party other than the Applicant) to raise an issue which the ASLB agrees needs to be examined before any decision is made whether to grant. or deny a license.
Once the issue is admitted, the Applicant bears the burder of proof on that issue. This burden is correctly placed since the Applicant is responsible for protecting the lives and property of tens of thousands of people.
In this proceeding, both the ASLB and -the intervenor introduced issues related to. the Quadrex Corporation study of the design and engineering process at -the- South Texas Nuclear Project.
Shortly after the ASLB received the Quadrex Report, the Board held a special meeting in Bethesda, Maryland. This meeting resulted in an order setting a ' sp eci al - hearing to . consider stopping all saf ety-rel ated work on the nuclear pr oj ect. The Board considered 'this order so important that all three administrative judges signed the order, rather than the customary.
chairman's signature.

,PDR ADDCK 05000498 v PDR 3 50.3

~
The special. hearing was-never held because the Applicants-Evoluntarily stopped work on~ the project.
CCANP submitted a lengthy motion _for new _ contentions . based on the findings in the'Quadren Report but subsequently agreed to the suggestion of the NRC Staff that the questions raised by tne handling _end substance. of the' Quadrex Report be admittec generally for consideration of cIl aspects of these two issues.
CCANP's position is that we'cballenge the Applicants -to provide any credible explanation for their failure to turn the Quadrex Report over to the A5LB and the NRC Staff. That is_their first burden.
We also challenge the Applicants to provide any cred2ble-explanation. for their failure to report more than three of the hundreds of findings i n the Quadrex Report purcuant to 10 C.F.R.
50.55(e). Speci f i cal l y, we challenge the Applicants to even argue, let alone prove, that only three of the hundreds of findings represented a breakdown in their . quality assurance program. That is their second burden.
We also challenge the Applicants to provide any credible explanation for _their failure, as expressed in their earlier testimony, to doubt the quality of Brown and Root's work prior to firing . Brown and Root as architect-engineer. That is the Applicants' third burden.
We also challenge the Applicants to provide any~ credible-explanation for their failure to ' fire Brown and Root- as architect-engineer before commissioning the_Quadrex Corporation study or immediately af ter the delivery of. the Quadrex Recort.
- That is their fourth burden.
CCANP's position is that there are no credible exolanations for the Applicants' failures other than a lack of character and competence.
CCANP similarly challenges the NRC Staff to provide any credible explanation for why they concluded there was'no need for the Applicants to deliver the Quadrex Report to the ASLB'and the Commission.
CCANP's position is that it is incredible that the NRC Staff could reach such a conclusion given the strong reactions of every.
NRC person coming into contact with the report, from the field investigators who discovered the report to the ASLB.
CCANP's position is that a prima-facie _ case exists for theJ necessity of turn'ing the Quadrex Report'over to the. Commission and for firing Brown and Root before the Quadrex: Report. and certainly after receipt of the report.
II. Response The Applicants filed their Sixth Set of Interrogatories and-
- Requests for Production of Documents to CCANP. This reponse. is not a direct answer.to these interrogatories but.rather is .for purposes of setting forth~CCANP's position,- _so the- Applicants
~
.will be on notice of 1what ' issues CCANP intends to litigate _and CCANP's positionaan those_ issues.
~The interrogatories ~ -are extremely _ burdensome,. requiring-CCANP to analyze hundreds.of1 findings on' multiple i ssues.. .CCANP-does- not: have the engineering staff to do such 'a lengthy.

- 2. CCANP's position is that the Applicants violated every regul ati on on the books regarding notification to the NRC regarding the Quadrex Report and its findingt, including but nor limited to 10 C.F.R. Part 50. Appendices A and 5; 10 C.F.R. Fa~
20; and 10 C.F.R.-50.55(e).
- 3. CCANP does not questi on Applicants' " commissioning" of tne Ouedrex Report other then to note that the Applicents waited until the project was well along before commissioning an independent consultant to check on the work Brown and Root was-doing. CCANP's position is that the Applicants showod poor jucgment, lack of perception, and lack of resolve in wai ting so Icng.
As to the " handling" of the Report, CCANP's position is that Apclicants nade a deliberete effort to deflect NRC attention f rom the Report by selecting a handful of findingu to bring . to the attention of the NRC, by not testifyina about the Report when oiven the opportuni ty, and by not providing cocies of the Renort to the ASLB and the Commi ssion.
- 4. (a) The improper act in the commissioning of the report was not acting sooner. The improper act in the handling of the_repcrt wet the failure to turn the entire report over to the ASLb ano the NRC or to notify the NRC of dozens of the findings.
(b) Jerome Goldberg and the others he consulted with regarding turning the report over to the NRC or notifying the Commission are responsible f or the vi olations all eged.

(ii) The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended.
(d) At the monent. CCANP does not have the resources to cell experts.
- 5. The Guadrex Report documents a chaotic and error-ricden cetign and engineering process as well as a non-functioning quality assurance program.
- 6. The Quadrex Report speeks for itself as to the chaos, errors, and quality assurance failures.

I 1' 1. CCANP contends NFsC ILE 62-02 is a repudietion.of the- NWs own reculetions.regarding-how the Applicants.-snould heve r ewt en i to the Quadrex Report. CCANP contends the handlino of the.Quadrex ,
Report should have- been found to be a Severity- Level. III violation (f ailure to make e required SO.55(er report) esc el ated to. a Severity Level I violation ~for: reasons cf wilfulness,- the-i -nature of the omitted iindings as constituting a meterial false statement. the length of time the viol ations exi sted prior - to-discovery, the opportunity available;to Applicants for years to discover tne violetions,'and the economic advantage to Applicants
(. of hiding the report, so they would not have to fire Brown- an d -

construction permit should not be revoked, and an:immeciate'stop work order on the project were the appropriate.NRC responses.
