ANNAPOLIS, MD. 21401 June 10, 1983 Mr. Eldon J..Brunner US NRC Region 1' 631 Park Ave.
King Of Prussia, Pa 19406
Dear Mr. 3 runner:
I am a mechanical engineer and I have done nuclear power plant re-lated engineering for three employers.
I am inclosine some accounts of these experiences and related documentation which I have entitled "An Argument 7ersus Current Nuclear Power Generation Based on the ZI-perience of an Engineer."
Parts of an ASME Section III seismic stress report and related correspondence, as well as materials involving a power plant stack retrofit are included with this report.
I think that I present a diverse and, also, a detailed look at typical atti-tudes and the state of affairs that I have witnessed in the =anu-facturing, design, and retrofit sectors of the industry.
Both the traditional power industry psyche and its evolutien need to be ob-jectively examined from within the industry.
La a few cases, new pro-cedural requirements can be adequate solutions.
But, the six pro-blems listed in zy introduction are manifestations of the ethical lapse of our society, and they can not be solved by procedural meas-ures, solely.
Please pay special attention to the following which sieht warrant changes Dr existing installations and procedures :
- 1) " fudged" ventilation system capacity, and lack of design consideration for air-borne pollution gradients (page 2); 2) care taken in the design and operation of radiation measuring devices (pages 2, 3, 11, and 12);
- 3) valve model LCT-11(pages 3 through 5 and 8 through to); and A) precautions for entering a ventilation exhaust stack while the plant is in operation (pages 10 through 13).
Ms. Billie Garde,of the Government Accountability Project in Wash-
- ington, D.C., has copies of my first and second proposals of the above mentioned seismic stress report.
The second proposal was accepted to my knowledge and I was not permitted to proof read it.
I have retained most of the rough draft, however, which includes the United Engineers and Constructors suggested treatment of the ICT-11 compres-sion endtload analysis.
The relevant parts of the second proposal are incorporated with the inclosed report.
If you have any questions, I shoul'd be able to receive mail at the above address.
' Unfortunately, this is not certain.
Perhaps, one of the ethical organizations will be kind enough to provide some aid.
I will try to get back with you.
Sincerely,
,s
