AFFIDAVIT I, Robert D.
Gunderson, being duly sworn, do depose and says
- 1. I am 39 years of age, and live with my wife in Mesa, grizona.Wehavetwochildren, ages 18and19
- 2. I am a journeyman electrician, and have special proficiency in high-voltage cable splicing, stress splicing, welding, electrical maintenance, establishing cable't' ray and cable tray supports, grounding grid pads and installing buse tools. I have over 19 years of direct work experience as an electrician and have worked for three years in nuclear power-houses.
- 3. From April 1980 to March 1982 I worked as an electrician employed by the Bechtel Power Corporation at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. My responsibilities during that time included high-voltage cable splicing and stress splicing, and high-voltage testing.
- 4. As an electrician I saw much electrical work completed on the shutdown safoty systems which was not done according to l

specifications, and which I believe may end(a,.t;cr the
(~
cafe operation of the chutdown cyctcma of the plant.
I
- 5. -For example, 2200 Scotch fill wac filled in the emergency pumps to the cooling tower, the high-pressure cafety injection (PPSI) pumpc and the low-precsure safety injection (LPSI) pumps located in the auxiliary control building, clova-tion 40, and in the circulating pumps functioning for the a
i. '\\
turbines.
Scotch fill 2200 rated at 600 volts wac uced on
,'I,
.d 4160 volt motors and 13,800 volt motorc.
-I
. c. ' \\
1 6.
I also caw that one-bolt lugu, rated only for 'i5 to 65 ampc, were crimped on a line that runs on 120 ampu with curge linos using 480 ampa.
Two-bolt luce should have been used but Bechtel often did not have the equipment to provide
' the correct two-bolt lu::c.
Thece improper lugu were placed on y Ms ach rawtoc the emergency pumps at the cooling tower, the LPSI and liPSI pumps used to flood the reactor core in the cacc of a ucriouc
,ylen s*tthfy velp
~
ac ident,,the circulating pumpu for the turbinos, and the G(c' j n%-3 (2 beI c ire :)
i Spray pond p)umpc, both on t!.e "a" and "b"
ciden.
Thece lugs cannot tolerate a 480-amp surge and may melt in the event of an accident, thus making it impossible to activate many of the most important safety systems in the event of a serious LOCA.
im ck 7
The raycam cplicing kit is not adequate to splice under the very hot, arid conditions in which it muct be used at Palo Verde.
8.
I often have seen 300-psi (pounda per square inch) rod used on 800-psi linec, in violation of the specifications for a job.
9 Bechtel supervisoru often requent that an employee other than the one terminating a wire sign a termination card, D
9 4
c
(
%nd either sign his own name or falsely the name of someone else.
Often I, or other employees I know, have signed these cards, and placed the letters "U.P." on the bottom of the cards, indic'ating we have signed the cards "uhder protest."
10.
Many of the quality control employees are not qualified to inspect electrical work completed, including l
high-voltage splicing.
11.
I was asked to splice a QC cable to the spray pond.
I told my supervisor that I was unable to splice any wire which was explicitly hooked up to a safety system (any red, green, blue or yellow-marked wire) unless I was shown technical specifications which permitted me to splice such wire.
I believe that no technical specifications allow the splicing of wires connected to important safety systems, especially the safe shutdown system for the plant.
12.
The unistrut, a component of the electrical con-trol cable shutdown system, does not meet minimum specifica-tions.
A heavy overload may be created on the central cables by continual adding of new pipes.
13 Last March. I spoke to the NRC representative on-site and told him that I would like to discuss serious problems I had observed at the Palo Verde site as a worker.
He told me that he could not help me and that I should contact the NRC regional office in Las Vegas.
I called the NRC in Las Vegas on or about March 25, 1982, 5
( ('
and asked to discuss some serious problems about the construction of Palo Verde.
The NRC regional office referred me to E.E. Van Brunt and told me that they could not help me.
I called Mr. Van Brunt's office and was told by a Mr. Johnson that Mr. Van Brunt was too busy to talk to me but that if I left my name and phone number he would try to call me back.
I did not leave my name or number and I did not call Mr. Van Brunt again because I did not believe that he would do anything about the problems I wanted to point out to him.
I reached this conclusion because I had ap-proached APS engineers on the job and told them about these problems many times.
They always told me that I should not worry because the problems would be caught by quality control.
I did not believe that APS was. concerned about ensuring that these problems were solved.
I saw Ms. Patricia Lee Hourihtn's name in the news-paper as intervenor and telephoned her as a last resort.
After the first meeting with Ms. Hourihan I received by telephone a death threat on my life.

14.
I have often soon a quality control supervisor mark a job" finished.
A Bechtel employee then removes the marking indicating that a job is completed and marks down that the jgb needs additional work, ev,en if specificati.ons have been previously met.
15 I will not testify openly about this matter because I fear harassment from the Bechtel Corporation and the utility companies owning Palo Verde.
In the past many workers who com-plained about these things were blackballed from work.
16.
I am currently looking for another job and, with my wife, intend to change my residence.

ELIN, an in-spector, who have identified themselves to me as represent-I atives of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I make this statement freely without hope of benefit or reward, without threat of punishment, and without coercion, unlawful influ-ence, or unlawful inducement. I understand that this stat-ement may be used in a regulatory hearing or legal proceeding. I was employed for 26 months as a journeyman elect-rician for the Bcchtel Power Corporation at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Arizera. I worked on the site from April 1980 until I quit on March 5, 1982 because the union asked travelers to quit and I did not want to take a local person's job. I have about 19 years experience as an electrician of which 3 years have been on nuclear projects. My duties included high voltage cable termination and splicing. While working at the cite, I developed concerns on the adequacy of the electrical installations. In March 1982, date unrecalled, I spoke to an Arizona Public Service ( APS) engineer, name unknown, on site and told him that I would like to discuss serious problems I had observed at INITIALS PAGE 1 of [ h PAGES i S

He told ma that if it wds a quality related problem thnt I should contact the NRC. I telephonically contacted the Arizona AEC office 'in Phoenix, Arizona on March 25, 1982 and talked to an un-known male concerning quality problems I had observed. This individual told me he could not help me and I should contact the NRC. He said the " closest NRC cffice was in Las Vegas" at efephonenumber 702-734-3318. I called this number on March 25, 1982 at 8:27 AM. A woman answered the telephone and I do not recall how she identified the agency. I spoke to this lady for about one minute, and I briefly told her of my concerns at Palo Verde. She told me she could not do any-thing about it, and referred me to Mr. VAN BRUNT, the engineer in charge of constr on at Palo Verde. Attached is a copy of my teleph y bill dated April. 22, 1982 which indicates the telephone call to the agency in Las Vegas. On the same date, I telephoned the office of Mr. E. E.

I did not attempt to contact the NRC personnel on the site. I was able to identify the NRC inspectors in the field by their white hats with NRC letters on the side. I did not approach these individuals with my concerns because when-ever I saw them they were accompanied by Bechtel personnel. i never attempted to contact the NRC resident inspectors at their office. Other than stated above, I did not attempf to contact any NRC personnel or offices prior to May 26, 1982, when I telephoned Mr. SHACKLETON at his residence in California. I saw Ms. PATRICIA LEE HOURIHAN's name in the news-paper as an intervenor and telephoned her as a last resort. My first contact with her was on March 26, 1982 and I have had subsequent meetings with her and her associates. On March 29, 1982, I received a teiephone call at a few minutes after 7 PM at my home and a male voice said " I'm Soing to kill you." The individual started laughing INITIALS ( PAGE 3 of /9 PAGES I -

I have a listed telephone num-b er, 'ar d I openly voiced my concerns to my fellow workers at the site. On March 31, 1982, I received a telephone call at my ho=e and when I answered it there was no voice but just the sound of a person breathing. I just hung up. I received the third and last telephone call sometime be-fore April 3, 1982, and again during this call there was no conversation but only a person breathing. I hung up on them. There have been no additional telephone calls or threats of any kind to me or members of my family. I did not report this to any law enforcement agency because I knew there was nothing they could do. I was a deputy sheriff for two an gyhalfyearsinIowaandaware_that the police can tahe no action on a matter of this kind. I am very proficient with firearms and not afraid of any-one making threats against me.

This ~ was a common practice for other workers in my discipline 4 to do the same thing. periodically, HECTOR NUNES, Gen-eral Foreman, or REGGIE JOHNSON, Superintendant, both with Bechtel, would prepare termination cards for sup-posedly completed terminations on quality class safety related systems and direct myself or other employees to sign the cards as the individual having performed the termination. We were not requested to verify the work + had been properly performed. On the cards that I signed I am not sure that the crimp tool shown on the card was actually used to perform the termination. The reasons I was given by NUNES or JOHNSON for requiring signatures J was that the originally completed cards had been lost by engineering, and the person who performed the work was unknown, or not at th site.

Some other employees, one of whom was stated to me that they cay have -ru put a check, star, or other identifying mark in the lower left hand corner of the form to indicate they had also signed cards for terminations that had not been performed by them. I was directed to sign two to three cards in some weeks, and other times I flatly refused to sign them. I personally signed only maybe a dosen cards al' er and this was when I was in hot water and "I was told either do it or get another job." I estimate that 250 to 300 cards are involved which covered the work of five crews over the period from 1981 to 1982.

Improper Splicing of Quality Class Safety Related Cables. Sometime after the first of the year in a early January 1982, General Foreman MIKE OSGOOD directed that splices be made on red and green safety related con-trol cables which had previously been burned by slag from 1 4 overhead welding which fell on the cable trays.

asked me to provide him with heat shrink tubes to be used' on these splices. I did not observe the splices but be- ) lieve that they were made with black heat shrink tubing _ which were then covered by other cables. The locations for these splices are in cable trays in overhead of cor-ridor areas of the Auxiliary Building of Unit 1 at the 100 foot level at about the 118 foot elevation south east section and at ggg120 foot level at about ths 138 foot elevation in the south west section. The electri-a j cians tried not to alert QC personnel to these splices t so that the cables would not have to be repulled.and re termir.at ed. I do not know if QC personnel ever in-spected or accepted these cables. 3. Start-Up not following Cable Determination Procedures.

f STATER 2NT OF ROBERT D. GUNDERSON JR., TAKEN AT SCCTTSDALE, ARIZCNA, DATED JUNE 1,1982, CONTINUED: cable termination procedures. Start-up personnel remove - r 1 wires without determination cards and leave them hanging in the cabinets. In one instance, I had to do a terminat-ion three times in one day, and it appeared that someone in Start-up had changed two of the wires in the cabinet after each time I hooked it up. This was verified by my/m y,-%nd a Black engineer whose o KE' ~ ~.; _ Z11,.- y -fl Lo"5 L > {a i u - s ~ name I do not recall. The Start-up personnel simply changed the wires any way they wanted to. This is one instance of a Common oCCurence. 4. Use of Improper Insulation of High Voltage Termination. An insulation material is used where,1ugs contact terminals to smooth sharp points especially near bolts to prevent damage to heat shrink tubing. Originally, it was'the practice to use a product of the 3M ccmpany called Scote 1 00 which came in a black pad which was squeezable or formable. Later, a material which I believe was supplied by the Rayco company identified as 130 C which is in the form of a 1/2 inch wide tape and was used to perform this function. The 130 C is hard or firm. It was noted by site personnel that Scotchvills 2200 was rated at 600 volts and a Request for Information (RFI) INITIALS PAGE 8 of I9 PAGES I i
C C STATEMENT OF ROBERT D. GUNDERSON JI:., TAKEN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, DATED JUNE 1,1982, CONTINUED: was sent to Bechtel engineering about November question-ing tifis practice of using Scotchville 2200 for terminations. Bechtel replied that Scotchville 2200 or 130 C could be used inter-changeably. In October or November 1981, a new.spise-ification was issued which required the use of only 130 C on high voltage terminations. After the issue of the new spec-ification we started using 130 C on all high voltage splices. It was believed that the reason for the chani;e tol30 C was based upon the fact that Scotc l g 00 was squeezing out of the heat shrink tubing and the heat shrink tubing was cracking where it contacted the corners of termination bolts. Scotchville 2200 was originally on splices on the High Pres-s&M gfC 6 sur ction Pumps, Low Pressur ection Pumps, circul-ating water motors on the end of the turbines, and the emer-gency motors of the water intake for the cooling towers and the spray ponds. The change in specifications was not retro-active to these or other motors previously terminated. While performing megger checks and high potting, the Start-up per-sonnel removed the termination on all of the above motors except the emergency motors of the water intake for the co-oling towers, which are safety related. Because of this, all of the other motors indicated had their Scotch 2200 replaced with 130 C. INITIALS PAGE 9 of /9 PAGES I
c c-STATEMENT OF ROBERT D. GUNDERSON JR., CAY 2N AT SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, DATED JUNE 1,1982, CONTINUED: l 5 Use of One Bolt Lug when a Two Bolt. Lug was \\ 7 Required. In some instances, Bechtel directed the instal-lation of a one bolt lug, which has a 45 to 65 amp rating, os. i on motors that run at 120 amps and_ 48o amp surge. This - ~ occured when motors were received from the manufacturer without any lugs attached. Bechtel engineers,ANDY ANDERSON and SOB RUFF, directed that one bolt lugs be installed on these motors. This took place at cbout the last part of 4 November or early part of December 1981. One of the motors 4 that was set up with a one bolt lug coming off of the motor \\ l and connecting it to a field cable that had a two bolt lug was the spray pond pump on the north side of the
- pond at the west end of Unit 1.
Two bolts were put into the two I bolt lug to make it look like there were two individual 1 two lug bolt properly connected. But the spray pond pump on the south side of the spray pond had a two bolt lug a coming off of the motor. This use of a one bolt lug was done in all the motors mentioned in Item 4 above except'for a the circulating water pump. KEVIN BROYHILL was advised by me of this attempt i to make the connection's look like they had two individual two bolt lugs fastened to6 ether when one lug was only a-s one bolt lug. BROYHILL prepared a Nonconfor=ance Report INITIALS, PAGE 10 of /9 PAGES

The improperly fastened one bolt lugs can be identified by either feeling through the heat shrink or by means of x-ray. 6. QC Inspectors Are Not properly Trained or Qualified for Inspecting Electrical Insta11ptions. co t H:p u.ur~ye Te r ~' s 64-I was called on several times during my employment to spent a couple of days training new QC inspectors for electrical. Many of these inspectors had no background in the electrical field and the only training they re-ceived was the amount of time I could spend with them in their initial two days of training. in instance that demonstrates the QC inspectors lacking electrical knowledge occured when REGGIE JOHNSON and HECTOR NUNEZ wanted me to splice the QC cable in'a manhole in front of the spray pond of Unit 1. The cable had 'oeen run for the suction motors but the cable was too short. The code does not allow this splicing. I had to go to five QC insgtors before I could find one to - say the splicing of the AC cable was not to be done. The other QC inspectors were not sure of what to do so they apparently went along with the desires of the construction personnel. As a result of the direction of the last QC inspector, name unrecalled, the cables INITIALS PAGE 11 of l9 PAGES I
( ( l STATEMDIT OF ROBERT D. GUNDERSON JR., TAKDI AT SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, DATED JUNE 1,1982, CONTINUED: vere pulled, and cables of the corr,ect length were run. t 7 Construction Is Over-riding Quality Control. The instance relating to the improper splicing of cables to the spray pond pump not only illustrated the lack.of knowledge on the part of the first four QC inspectors I contacted, but it also illustrates their submission to the desires of construction. Relating back to Item 5. BROYHILL put a QC red tag on the High Pressure Safety Injection Pump located on the 40 foot elevation because it had the wrong lugs installed. REGGIE JOHNSON went over BROYHILL's head on this issue to comeone in Bechtel engineering, and some one in engineering went to BROYHILL and made him pull the NCR. JOHNSON made BROYHILL remove the red tag. 8. Repeated High Potential Testing on the Same Cable. The Termination Bcok defines procedures for termin-ations and high voltage testing. The procedure specifies only one "high pot" test for cable manufactured by Anaconda Copper. This procedure was: not properly being followed by personnel in construction and Start-up who are repeating the "high-pot" tests. Because of the ineptness of some of the engineers assigned to testing, I estimate that some of the cables have been tested four or five times. A typical high INITIALS PAGE 12 of l9 PAGES I l l l l

Because STUART and WILLIAMS could not s reach the damaged, conduit within the containment wall, they just plugged up the area around the hole in the wall in an attempt to isolate the ' damaged conduit. My concern is that thermal expansion will cause a rubbing of the insulation against the rough holes bored into the conduit causing a short. In addition, these holes could cause an induction problem.as there are different voltages involved. 12. Use of Improper Cable. At the 100 and 120 foot elevation in the Auxiliary Control Buildin5, the Q cables to the cabinets are not properly installed. The field run cables were too large for the luss that would fit on the ter J r mination strip supplied with the equipment. To overcome this problem, the cables were cut approximately two or three feet from the cabinet and a smaller si ed cable was spliced to the z field cable. These modifications were for every cabinet, p-are located on the feeder side. This splicing of the small cable to the larger cable can be observed in the racewall. 13 Welding A13P5ations. Velders are using Cobra L'elding Machines with Lincoln rod rated at 300 psi on several steam lines located underneath the 140 foot elevation into the reactor building.

At present, about one out o;f every 10 electrical splices are being x-rayed, but I consider this number of x-rays to be insufficient for a good QC inspection system. 15 Possible Radiation Overdose of Two Elect-ricians. Around Christmas,1981, 'lG~ 7 (C & D) ~~ j, both electricians, were working in the first vessel to your right inside of containment. Persons, names unknown, using a hand held x-ray type machine arrived to x-ray some pipin5 that ran underneath the vessel in which the two el-ectricians were located. The x-ray personnel put an x-ray warning sign over the door into the vessel but did not check te see if any one was in the inside. They proceeded to x-ray the piping but the distances and period of time are unknown to me. The operators stated that their x-ray machine would penetrate 10 to 12 inches of steel. The two electricians lodged a complaint over the possibility of receiving a radiation overdose, and were required to fill out a brief report for APS. That was the last any information we ever received concerning the incident. 16. Improper Changing of Unistrut Brackets For Electrical Trays and Pipe Supports in Unit 2.

STATEMENT OF ROBERT D. GUNDERSON JR., TAKEN AT SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, DATED JUDE 1,1982, CONTINUED: Since 1979 through Christmas 1981, there have.been instances e ? where electricians or pipefitters changed unistrut brackets supporting electrical trays and/or piping after it had been bought off by QC. This is done sometimes to make it fit their own purposes or to get'even with members of management or QC inspectors. This is done on the lower elevations of the control building of Unit 2. It has been done to get even with RAY WOODS, a General Fcreman with Bechtel, and YASHIMOTO, General Foreman for the electrical union, be-cause the men get mad at them for firing a craftsman for such things as drinking coffee, taking too many early " outs," etc. They do it to get even with QC inspectors who have been giving them a bad time. In some cases, they deliberately do a bad modification on the unistrut so it will be noticed. The QC name and number is stamped on the imbed plate for the bra-chet and it makes it look like the inspector borght off obviously bad work, and it could result in the inspector being terminated. 17.
