MEETING NOTES

.In 1982, an allegation was made by a former electrician, that indiscriminate cable substitutions were being made. A subsequent overinspection of over 9000 class IE cables revealed six cables of incorrect size. Not only was cable size checked, but routing, color coding and mylar tag information.,

Although the overinspection was completed in 1983.with a number of NCR's being generated the NRC requested an exit meeting to further investigate the breakdown.

JW exit meeting was held on February 10, 1984, in the Orientation Room between Bechtel, Consumers and NRC officials. Those in attendance were:

CPCO BPCO NRC M. Schaeffer D. Scott J. Harrison

..D. Cochran M. McCully R. Gardner J. Rowe R. Heistand B. Burgess D. Newcome

. Mr. Cardner requested any additional information on why two different size wires could be cut from the same reel, why the reel number recorded was an invalid number and why the tags attached to the cable were incorrect (2 of 4 wrong).

Mr. McCully explained that shortly af ter he arrived on site he found the manufacturer's serial number was being used (in some cases) for the reel number. As to the other two concerns, Mr. McCully nor could anyone else' provide a plausible reason for the errors.

~

A' trip to the present " cut-shop" was made to look at the present set-up

'and .how reels are merked to see if a reason for the errors could be found.

Only' suppositions could be given.

The group then went to the Services Support' Building to look at tags t, hat identified cables (made out by " cut-shop"). The tags showed they had been improperly filled out.

Prior to leaving the Orientation Room, Mr. Gardner infermed the group this item would be viewed as an " item of non-compliance".
