As Palmotto A111anco reads this Board's September 14,
- 1983 Prehearing Conference Order it appears that th2s Board oither misroads or micunderstands Palmotto Allianco's Quality Assurance Contention Number 6 in serious ways that cloud and obscure the nature of Palmotto Allianco's concerns expressed since the outset of this proceeding, the allocation of the burden cf proof with respect to the adequacy of applicant's Quality Assurance Progran and the assuranco that the Catawbs Nuclear Station is safely built, seriously hinders and limits palmotto Alliance's ability to offer evidence on this subject in upcoming heerinoc.
Ps1 motto ob3 ecto to thic Board's Prchooring Conferenco Order and i r. tnis reqard, respectfully roquentc clarification of

or, in the alternative, T
requestc certification or refer si of these matters to the Commiscion or the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal
- Board, as apprcpriate,under provisions of 10 C.F.R.
sections 2.718(i)- and 2.752(c).
The thrust of the Board's-September 14, 1963 Prehosring Conferenco Ordor with respect to its characteri=stion of Ps1 motto
- Contention 6 is to mistakenly limit Psimetto's proof on its Quality Assur-ince Contention to- "Information about specific construction deficiencies."
(Ordor at pp.
6-8.)
If Psimetto's
_ 3 _
cading of this Order is indeed correct, thir spec 2fication of
.the issues improperly targots the " trees" while missing tho
" forest" by limiting proof to
" specific construction deficiencies" which are meroly the symptoms of the more pervasive malady: the systematic Quality Assurance breakdown at datawba. By no doing, the Board appears to accept tho same fallacious approach to this issue as is reflected by Duke Power Company's generic and programmatic complaints by response to the
- serious, the Catawbs welding inspectors.
Duke's response there
- was, likewise, to target only the
" specific construction deficiencies",
i.e.,
the bad welds, while ignoring the procedural cnd programmetic Quality Assurance breakdown.
Quality Assurance pronicco at Cstswbs have not and will not be solved by simply reworking or exple_.ing away the known construction deficiencies.
It is the indeterminate character of the as built condition of the plant - the unknown construction deficiencies that should be the proper target of palmetto's Quality Assurance Contention 6.
By memo to the parties of September 16,
- 1983, the Board Chairman transmitted the Appesi Board's most recent pronouncement on the subject of Quslity Assurance:
Unigg__Elegtric__Cg, (Callsway Plant. Unit 1),
ALAB-740,_____
NRC_______
(September 14, 1963),
with the appropriate admonition that, "[T]he decision litigation of Contention 6."
Indeed t

A recurring issue in reactor oporating license proceedings is whether the incility hoe been properly constructed.
In most instaneos, the focus is upon the execution of the Quality Assurarre Program designed to eliminate the possibility that construction deficiencias of potential safety significance will go undetecteo and therefore unrectified.
In any project even remotely approaching in magnitudo and complexity the erection of a nuclear power plant, there inevitably will be some construction cefects tied to Quality Assurance lapsou
- thus, in examining claims of Quality Assurance deficiencies, one must look to the implication of those deficiencies in terms of safe plant operation.
Obviously, this inquiry necessitates careful censideration of whether all ascertained construction errors heye been cured.

At tho Apponi Itoo nt aptly o t,o e r v e rs,
ident121 cation anu dcmonstration that "all encortained construction orrors have boon curod" is only,the beginning <-i the Quality Assurance inquiry and not the end.
Ilowever, hero, if Palmetto Alliance's understanding of the Board's Prehearing Conference Order is correct the existence of " specific construction deficiencies" is the be all and end all of this Board's inquiry.
By its express terms the Ecord's Prehooring Conference Order observes that the offecs of its terns is to requiro Palmotto's dicciosure of all information about specific construction deficiencios for the record by Septenber 19, 1983 - the Monday following the Friday receipt of.

tho Ordor i t.se l f
- on pa2n that, "(Alny nuch inf ormat. i on not no disclonnd may bo oxcludod from tho hnaring upon a
Limoly ob3nction."
Order at p.8.
Palmetto Allianco fooro that the como sort of "squeo=o play" worked upon the Catawbs wolding inopoctors by Duke Power Company in responding to their Quality Assurance complaints, will be worked upon Palmetto Alliance, and ultimstely the public offected by Catawbs's operation, as a
direct consequence of this approach to Ps1metto Alliance Contention 6.
- There, Duke Power's Task Forces, its outside consultant the Managemont Analysis Company (MAC), and the NRC Region II
- Staff,
" solved" the welding inspector problem by addressing only the nuncrous specific construction deficienciec (tho technical
.:..nco r rm )
whilo ionorinq tho programmatic Quality Annuranco Program br oole down - the haracsmont, falsification, and lack of management support (the nontechnical concerns).
We urge this Bosrd not to repost that mistake.
Fron thu outnet of this proceeding Psimetto Allisnco has exprosuod its concern for programmatic failures in the Quality Assurance Program at Cotswba on the basis of the first hand experience of its members Nolan R.
Hoopingarner and William R.
McAfeo. In ruling on Applicant's and the NRC Staff's Motion for Fartial Summsry Disposition of Contention 6 this Board explicitly acknowledged that Hoopingarner's and McAfee's experienco raised
.msterial issues which go to the heart of adequate Quality Acsurance Progrsm: instructions not to write Non-Conforming Items
- g-
(NCI's), harannment and" company proesuro" not to report faulty we,rkmannhip or t c.
ecm un2cate wit h the Nuclear I<equ1 nt cir y Commission. (Order of August 26, 1983.) 5uch programmatic, coro evidence of Quality Assurance breakdown has been identified by Palmetto Alliance since the beginning of this proceeding.
Palnetto Allianco was explicit in oxpressing its concorn.
In its July 22, 1981 Petition to Intervene, at p.5, Palmetto advanced this contention:
Substandard worknanship and poor Quality Control strongly suggests that actual plant construction is substantially below NRC standards in many safety-related areas.
A number of former Duke Power Conpany construction workers, including a
certified Quality Control Inspector, have complained of systeratic deficiencies in plant construction and cornany pronnuro to approve faulty workmannhlp.
In its D..combor 1961 nupplomont containing Contont. ion G Palmetto Alliance asserted as follows:
Substandard workmanship and poor quality control strongly suggest that actual plant construction is subctantially below NRC standardn in many sofoty related steos.
Applicants have failed to provide a
Quality Assurance program which meets the requirements of 10 C.F.R.
Part So, App.
B, and no reasonable-assurance exists that the plant can operate without endangering the health and safety of the public.
The Commission has noted that
'the regulated industry... bears the primary responsibility for the proper construction and safe operation of licensed nuclear facilities' Egdgrg1__Igrt__C1gie__gf__Gegergi Pghlic_Utilitigs_C_orp3,,gt_g12,. CLI Al-lo, 13 NRC 773, 775-776 (1981).
The NRC's Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance Review Group found the Catawba facility 'Below Average' among power rwactor facilities under construction particularly
'in the areas of quality assurance including management and training.'
NUREG 0834, NRC Licenoco Assessments, August 1981, p-B-1. A nuncer of former Duke Power Company construction

certified Quality Control

deficiencies heve complained of systematic Inspector, to approve plant construction and company pressure in faulty workmanship.)
In its December 1, 1982 Memorandum and Order, the Board recast Contention 6
and accepted it for litigation, stating:
Much of Palmetto 6, which is concerned with substandard workmanship and poor quality The control, lacks sufficient specificity.
last
- sentence, however, concerns alleged
' corner cuttino' and does supply a cufficient basis for a
contention.
We recant the contention that we now necopt t o" read a r, follows:
Because of systematic deficiencies-in plant conntruction and company prenr,uro to approvo f ault y exints that the workmanship, no reasonable accurance without c ri<la rigor i n ct the healt h and pinut con op roto safety of the public.
The thrust of this contention is attitudes primarily toward alleged company and practices:
proof of this contention, of presumably involving specific instances nisfeasance, need not be adduced at the stage.
Late in Discovery Duke Power Company and the.NRC Staff disclosed the existence of the Catawba Welding Inspector Task Force Investigation and the underlying serious and pervasive complaints by welding inspectors of harassment, falsification-of QC documents and longstanding managonent failure to implement on offect2ve Quality Assurance Program.
On the basis of this information the Board recognizr.d the sorious safety implications of the Quality Control and Quality
_ a.
Annura Me allegationb in tha weldinq nrea and granted paimetto Allinnee's MacAAB tA hPABen f:9 Bien 13AB Discovery to focus on the welding inspector complaints.
With loss than a
month of reopened discovery, pursuing the matter almost
- fulltime, of Duke Pslmetto conducted extensive oral depositions and NRC personnel in this area.
This discovery confirmed Palnotto's eerliest fears, revealed extensive evidence of widespread QA breakdowns at
- Cstswbs, extending far beyond the welding craft ares.
Through this discovery Palmetto learned for the first time of the critical October 1982 sudit of construction p'octicen at Catawba the INPO study - " Cone.truction Pro 3cct Eve.iuation for Catawba Nucle 3nr Station."
Ovor Duke Power Company's oblectione, this Board directed production of the INFO study together with past revisions of cor.struc tion and Quality Assuranco procedures in use over time at the Catawba Station.
On the basis of this information learned.since May 1983 Palmetto Alliance sought by Motion of September 9, 1983, reopened discovery of Quality Assurance matters beyond the welding aros permitted earlier and additiensi relief to permit the comprehensive treatment of systematic Quality Assuranco concerns at Catawbs.
- Finslly, on September 14,
- 1983, the Government.
Accountability Pro 3ect, on behalf of Palmetto Alliance, -
requested the NRC Comnissioners' inmediate action pursuant to 10 C.F.R.
section 2 206 to require independent audits of the as-built condition of the facility and the Quality Assurance program at Catawba.
GAP further sought the conduct of an Office of Investigation inquiry into "the deliberate mishandling by Duke Power Company management of certain serious complaints by Catawba welding inspectors ** and an Office of Inspector and Auditor (OIA) internal investigation i
of the Region II Staff response to the welding inspector complaints.
In Jight of the foregoing ralnotto Alliance respectfully objecte to the Board's Pretnaring Conference Order, seeks clarification and revision of that Order to clarify ano specify the Quality Assurance issue for hearing in this proceeding consistent with Palmetto Alliance's originci Contention 6
and the guidance contained in ALAB-740 to permit litigation of the programmatic Quality Assurance breakdown at in the alternative, to certify or refer Catawba; or,
this matter for determination to the Connission or the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeci

Palmotto A111anco obyoctn to the Board's Prohoarino Conferenco Ordnr of Sept ember 11, 1983, with
- 10
rcepoct to its decision as to the order of presentation of ovidenco with respoct to Palmotto Contention 6.
While the Board properly providos that Applicants, who have the burden of proof, should proceed
- first, the Board failed to provide that the NRC Staff proceed next with Intervenors fo11owine.1 third on thiu Contention.
The Board appropriately provides for the Staff and Applicants to precede Intervenors on Contention 44/18 based on its observation that this contention "is directed primarily towards the Staff." With respect to Contention 6 the NRC Staff's approval of Applicant's Gaality Assurance Program and of Duke Power Company's resolution of the wolding inspoctor complaints Justifios Palmetto's focus of its Quolity Acnurance Contention 6
primarily towards Applicants, and secondarily towards the NRC Staff. Since the Staff has undertaken to endorso and support Applicant's GA track record Intervonors shoulc be permitted to respond by following third in order of presentation.
Palmetto and further objects to the Board granting Applicant's NRC Staff unsought and un]ustified advanco opportunity for rebuttal not provided Intervenors. While the Board properly observes that testimony of witnesses subpoenaed by Intervenors "cannot be fully anticipated,"
the " unanticipated matters" which would crise upon the examination of such witnesses burden.
Intervenors and not Applicant and Stoff who employ and control the nubpoonced witnesses.
If any party is in a botter position to more fully anticipate the substance of such witnesses' testimony it is Applicants and the NRC Staff.
Intervenors should be offered the opportunity for rebuttal on this ground, or, at least, all parties should be provided the opportunity for rebuttal on equal footing.
- 3. Pc1metto Alliance objects to provisions of the Board's Order with respect to the
" designation of witnesses" as specified at page 3.
The identities of Palmetto'c proposod voluntoor witnesses on Contentions G
and 10 havo long lie t o n known t.o
- t. r.o Doord and parties.
From tho outuot of this proceeding Palmetto has identified Messra. lioopingarner and McAice as its witnesses on its Quality Assurance Contention.
Since the summary disposition stage Palmetto has identified Dr.
Marvin Resnikoff and Mr. Lindsay Audin as its proposed witnesses on Contention 16.
The sub3ects of the witnesses' proposed testimony has likewise been long known to the parties.
The only witnesses whose identities have yet to be disclosed by Palmetto are the witnesses in the employ of Applicants and NRC Staff with regard to Contention 6.
While the Board is correct in observing that-many of the potential subpoenaed.
w
witnooseu are houtilo and also many havo been doposed by palmotto in discovery, it is not corroet in its belief that the disclosuro of the identitles of witnescos who have not boon deposed but romain in the enploy of Applicants will not "cause any harm to those persons or affect their willingness (or unwillingness) to testify."
(Order at p.3.)
As stated at the Prehearing Conference Applicants assert only that they "may" call unspecified welding inspectors and welding inspector supervisors to testify on Contention 6.
Palmetto. notes that in Applicant's filing of September 19, 1983 it lists some thirty-four welding inspectors and supervisors who "may be collod" to address
" mpressions of technical and nontechnical concerns
+
reqordinq OA/UC in wolding at Catawba." boyond statinq that it wishes to examino each and every witness idonti21cd by Applicants with respect to Contontion 6, and that it intends to seek, by subpoons, to compol the testimony of each of those persons not voluntarily appearing, as well as additional noned persons who either have already been deposed or who are members of the class of welding inspectors and welding snnpector such disclosure 'would, Ps1metto is supervisors informed and believes, indeed, cause " harm to these persons or affect their willingnoss (or unwillingness) to. testify."
In documents available to all parties.anc tulo Board many of the Cataw1.a Weld 2n9 Inq ectorc documented instances of haroaament and retallation for their expression of safety and Quality Assurance Program concorns.
On the basis of confidential information made available to Palmetto by investigators from the Government Accountability Project Palmetto states its belief that further identification of such harm and affect their persons would sub]ect them to ability to offer evidence in this proceeding.
Palmotto is herewith serving prgfiled testimony and consistent with adontific~: tion of subpoor. sed witnescos, the limitations of this obyection.

Palmetto A111snee objects to the provisions of the Board's September 14, 1983. Order with rocpoct to

- 6. P,almotto Alliance ob3ects to the Board's rulir.g at page 5
of its September 14, 1983 Prehearing Conferenc'o Order with r.,spect to accoso to Applicant'c documents.
Palmetto stands by its position that it acted in gustifiable and good faith reliance on the ability to have continued access to Applicant's-voluminous documents, the reproduction of which would be unduly burdensomo and expansive to Palmetto. It is Just such " inconvenience and expense" that Palmetto sought to avoid by not making wholesale copies oof oli,.
voluminous con c.t.ruction audits for example.
The Board'n ruling can only place an artificial roadblock, based solely on ability to pay, on access to concedodly relevant evidence to be considerod in this proceeding.
The Board's ruling with respect to the requirement on Palmetto to pay costs of reproduction in advance of the subpoona of records from Applicants is simply wrong.
10 C.F.R. section 2.720 makes mandatory the issuance of a subpcene by the presiding officer for "the production of evidence" upon "a showing, of genersi relevance of the...ev3dence sought,"
but makes no mention of the payment of costs of reproduction.
Ps1metto does not seek the reproduction of evidence but only the fair opportunity to have.
access to and inspect such evidonCo.
production of evidence by subpoons may not properly be conditioned upon payment of its costs of reproduction.
7.
Esimetto Alliance strenuously ob3cets to the provisions of the Board's Order with respect to "new evidence of construction deficiencies" appearing at pages 6 through 8 of the Board's Prehearing Conference Order of September 14, 1983. As understood by Ps1metto, such directives to provido the detailed specification "in the hando" of Applicant and Stsff by Monday,.
September 19, 1983 is punitive, burdensome, and simply _-
with an impossibility of prosents Psimetto Alliance complianco.
Palmotto Alliance did not even have tho Board'n Ordor an it'n hand until the afternoon of Fridsy, Sootomber 16, 1983.
An stated above, counsol ict Palnetto A11aar.ce had a
l ong-st ar. ding businesc comnitment in New York City and was not even available to attempt compliance until the afternoon of the deadlino date.
Ps1metto A111snee renews the argument advanced in support of its objections in Psregraph I above.
It is the language end treatment of the matters under the heading "New Evidence of Construction which causes Palmetto A11isnce such grave Deficiencies" coacern about the Board's approach to the Quality Aanuronen insuo in than procer d ing.
Palmetto Allianco is irankly puzzlod by
- t. n o Board's language and direction on this matter.
Intorproting the terms "now information about deficiencies" most narrowly to specific construction mean specific. bad wolds, cracked
- pipes, or valves need add nothing to its installed backwards Palmetto previous responcos to Applicant's August 15,
- 1983, motion.
Wo mean what we said when wo responded to Mr.
McGarry's first complaints on this
- subject, "I don't have anything further to say to Mr. McGarry.
If he has problem, he should put it in writing.
I stand by our a

or August Ib, statomonts."
(Sop, Applicant's motion statements by mischaractorized 1983.

a nothing further to add by way of response to Applicant's motion of August 15, 1963 or by way of rnsponno to thin Board'n 4 ranting of that motion as reflectod in its September 14,
- 1983, Prohearing Conferenco Ordor.
If, however, the Doord's term "new information is understood about spocific construction deficiencies" in its broadest sense the task at hand is indeed specified by the Board impossiblo of accomplishment as betweer. the afternoon of with the time provided, i.e.,

ft14Ay, SOptembet A C.,
ivuit and Muanl4y. Septemter 19, 1983 when such information was to be in the hands of applicant and StaII.
Palmotto Alliance obyocto.
Psimetto Alliance is indeed concerned about
" specific construction deficiencies" both those occuring prior to May 27, 1983 stretching back to tho bogtuning of construction of Cotswbs, ss well as those which have occured and will likely continue to occur after that date.
However, Palmetto's concern and conviction that such significant deficiencies exist as to
" raise legitins,te doubt as to the overall integrity of the facility and its safety-related structures and ccaponents,"
Caloway, slip opinion at p.2, is founded upon "a breakdown in Gunlity Assurance procedures of cui12ciant dimensions to raiso legitimate doubts as to thu overall integrity of the facility."
Id. Such "new information" has indeed been gleaned through the dcoositions and document discovery flowing from the is indeed contained in welding inspector complaints, the newly-discovered INPO study of construction at
- Catawbs, is reflected in the transcript of Palmetto's crsi notion of September 9,
- 1983, and,
- finally, is analy=ed and detailed compellingly in the GAP section 2.206 petition to the Commissioners. These matters are j
)
all as available to this Bosrd and the other parties as they.sre to ' Palmetto Alliance.
To require Palmetto f

- Company, et al.
onto Intervonors and the public.
Palmotto Alliance respectfully obycets to these directives of the Board, seeks clarification of the Board'c moaning its those provisions, asks the Board to reconsider and revise its Order accordingly:
or, alternatively, requests certification or referral of these matters to the Conmission or Appeal Board for determination.

" fundamentally alters the very shape of the ongoing adjudication."
Perry, slip opinion, at p.15.
This Board itself has noted the preeminence of the Quality Assurance issue faced for hearing in this proceeding.
The appropriate standard,'for consideration of this matter as well as allocation of burden of proof and Intervenor's proper ability to offer evidence on this subject all are fundamentally affected by thic Board's September 14, l'Ju s Ordos. 1*n i mot t o Alliance
