21 22 Q. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH IN CAMERA WITNESS- #2's ALLEGATION 23 THAT UNACCEPTABLE WELDS RESULTED FROM FOREMAN 24 PRESSURE FOR HIGH PRODUCTIVITY- AS OPPOSED TO HIGH 25 QUALITY?
l 1 .
1 A. Yes. We have reviewed his testimony. As support for his 2 allegation, the witness ~ raises the following major concerns:
3 1. He alleges that his foreman told him to finish his welds so 4 that they looked more uniform, despite the fact that the 5 witness did not believe that this had anything to do with 6 the adequacy of the weld.
7 2. He alleges that Buck Henry told him that Henry's foreman 8 pressured him to finish one weld using a certain weld rod 9 that was inappropriate. The witness alleges that Henry 10 further stated that the weld was rejected, Henry's stencil 11 was pulled because of this rejection, and he was unjustly 12 forced to recertify.
13 3. The witness alleges that Malcolm Young stated to him that 14 Young was forced by his foreman to weld one Class G 15 weld despite the fact that the fit-up was unacceptable, 16 and because of the poor fit-up , the one weld was 17 rejected. He alleges that Young told him that his stencil 18 was pulled because of this one rejected weld and Young 19 was unjustly forced to recertify.
20 4. The witness alleges that M. D. Ray attempted to cover up 21 defects in a weld because he was afraid of foreman 22 pressure.
23 5. The witness alleges that his foreman, L. Rudasill, 24 attempted to pressure him to tack weld fit-ups on 2 inch 25 schedule 80 stainless steel pipe for Ed McKenzie's crew in 26 the Reactor Building (Unit 2) without proper paperwork 27 present.
1 6. The witness alleges that welding foremen inappropriately 2 approved welds on construction hangers (which he states 3 are at times safety-related) in order to increase 4 production.
5 6 Q. HAVE YOU INVESTIGATED THE ALLEGATION?
7 A. Yes. This investigation consisted of a review of relevant portions 8 of documents regarding this issue, as well as discussions with 9 welders, welder foremen, general foremen, the welding 10 superintendent, the piping superintendent, and pipe fitters.
11 12 Q. WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF YOUR INVESTIGATION?
13 A. From the investigation, we determined that the witness' specific 14 allegations were not accurate. Further, we could find no instance 15 where foremen sacrificed the quality of work for quantity. On the 16 contrary, foremen are very concerned about quality. In any event, 17 nuclear safety related welds, including any which might have 18 resulted from the alleged poor welder practices, would have been 19 subjected to a number of required inspections and nondestructive 20 examinations to . identify and, if necessary, repair unacceptable 21 defects. Accordingly, this allegation does not call into question the 22 safe construction of the plant. Factors which tended to support 23 this determination include those noted below.
24 1. When a welder is certified and renews his certification 25 stamp , that certification is subject to removal if the 26 quality. ' of his welds so warrants. Quality Assurance 27 Procedure I-1 paragraph 4.7 states that renewal of '
1 qualification of a welder is required when the Authorized 2 Nuclear Inspector, Construction Technical Support -
3 Welding, or the Project Quality Assurance Engineer raises 4 valid questions regarding the welder's ability to make 5 welds that - meet the specifications. In short, when the 6 quality of a welder's work is called into question his 7 stamp 'may be pulled and he may be required to recertify.
8 Therefore, as the witness has himself stated, there is a 9 great deal of pressure on each certified welder to perform 10 quality welds so that his certification will not be pulled.
11 WER, JCS, DHL, LRB.
12 13 2. A welder's certification may be pulled by QA/QC action at 14 the recommendation of supervision such as his foreman.
15 Contrary to the witness' position, there are occasions 16 where foremen have taken welders from production work 17 and required them to undergo additional training to 18 improve the quality of the welder's work. During these 19 training periods, however, quantity of production is 20 decreased. Indeed two out of three examples noted by 21 the witness in his testimony illustrates instances where 22 the foremen have required additional training to improve
- 23 quality at the expense of quantity. WER, JCS.
24 25 3. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning Mr.
29 Young, Mr. Young's foreman, when questioned, stated 4
27 that the incident alleged by the witness- did not occur as
1 1 the witness had described. Indeed, in our conversation 2 with the welder, he stated that he was not pressured by
. 3 his foreman to get the job done at the sacrifice of 4 quality. However, reports show that on approximately 5 9-30-80, Mr. Young was required to receive additional 6 training and be retested regarding a specific weld 7 procedure. The retest was conducted in October,1981.
8 Mr. Young passed the test. Significantly, the basis for 9 the retest was failure of two welds, not one as alleged by 10 the witness. Further, Mr. Young's certification was not 11 pulled as alleged. In addition, the unacceptable welds, 12 by the witness' own admission, were not safety-related.
13 In short, despite the fact that Mr. Young was, and still 14 is , a competent welder at the Catawba site, in this 15 instance the foreman sacrificed quantity to ' assure that 16 quality was maintained, even on a non-safety system. In 17 this case, foreman pressure was to assure quality. WER, 18 HRB, DHL.
19 20 4. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning Mr.
21 Henry, Mr. Henry's foreman states that the incident as 22 alleged did not occur as described. Indeed, in our 23 conversation with the welder, he stated that he was not
- 24 pressured by his foreman to get the job done at the 25 sacrifice of quality. An Employee Report dated 7-14-83 26 documents a reprimand given to Mr. Henry by his.
. 27 supervisor Larry Rudasill because of poor workmanship on 1
l i
. . , l 1 four welds on rupture restraints in the Unit I reactor 2 building. General Foreman J. R. Wilson's memo to file 3 dated 7-14-83 states that the poor workmanship was 4 discovered by welding supervision before Quality 5 Assurance became involved. The Employee Report states 6 that Henry would be required to recertify on the welding 7 process by taking the L-154 test. Welder Performance 8 Qualification Form I-1B records state that Mr. Henry 9 performed the test on 7/18 -
7/22/83. However, he 10 failed the test due to a rejectable defect discovered i 11 by radiography. He retested from 8/2 - 8/5/83 and was 4
12 recertified ' on 8-23-83. Significantly, the basis for 13 pulling Mr. Henry's certification was his unacceptable 14 work on four partially completed welds, not one as alleged 15 by the witness. In addition, welding craft management 16 (not QA) was responsible for identifying the need to 17 retest to assure .the welder's ability. In short, despite
- 18 the fact that Mr. Henry was, and still is, a - certified 19 welder, craft supervision sacrificed quantity to assure 20 the quality of Mr. Henry's welds . DHL, WER, LWR, 21 JRW.
22
'23 5. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning Mr. l 24 Ray, the witness himself states that the foreman was 25 applying pressure to assure . quality of the welds.
26 Indeed, in our conversation with the welder, he' stated 27 that he was not pressured by his foreman to get the job I l
.~ - - . .. . . - . - - _ - _ - - .
. s I done at the sacrifice of quality. This is consistent with 2 General Foreman J. R. Wilson's memo to file dated 3 11-17-82 which states that he told M. D. Ray that the 4 quality of his work was unacceptable and that he would 5 be sent to the test shop for one day to evaluate his 6 ability. M. D. Ray's performance was determined to be 7 acceptable and no formal recertification test was given.
8 This example again supports the position that foremen will 9 not sacrifice quality for quantity. JRW, WER, DHL.
10
- 11 6. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning 12 pressure by Mr. Rudasill to perform tack ~ weld fit-ups on 13 pipe for- Mr. McKenzie's crew without the paperwork, no 14 records could be located involving this incident, nor did 15 anyone involved have any - recollection regarding any 16 direction to tack fit-ups without paperwork. However, it 17 should be noted that the only work in the Reactor 18 Building involving Mr. McKenzie's crew working with 2 19 inch schedule 80 stainless steel pipe where holdpoints for 20 QA signatures on fit-ups were not present (and thus the 21 only possible situation the witness could be referring to) 22 was prefabrication cf a ' temporary bypass around the 23 blowdown heat exchanger. This --temporary bypass was 24 required to flush the system without running - water 25 through the heat exchanger. After the flush, the 26 temporary bypass was discarded. Prefabrication work on 27 the temporary bypass did not require any paperwork. It
. .g.
J l
I should' be noted that such situations were not uncommon 2 in the plant. KRW, WER, EGM, JCS. 1 1
3 4 In addition, since much of the pipe in the plant is not 5 nuclear safety related and requires no paperwork prior to 6 fitting and welding, a similar type of situation could.have 7 occurred in other areas of the plant. It should be noted 8 that as a practical matter it would be totally-impractical if 9 not virtually impossible for fit-ups on safety related 10 systems to proceed without appropriate paperwork. To 11 explain, before we being to withdraw piping material from 12 storage to begin a project, piping craft must have the 13 required paperwork which includes the bill of material for 14 the work, the isometric drawings, and QA sign-off forms.
4' 15 The issue clerks need 'the bill of materials before they 16 will issue materials for the work so that they can sign off 17 that the material has been issued. Further, a cleanliness 18 inspection and sign-off is required prior to fit-up, and -
19 QA inspections personnel can not sign-off the cleanliness -
20 inspection without the paperwork. Indeed, the sign-off 21 sheet M-4A which the QA inspector signs to signify he 22 has completed the cleanliness inspection is part of the 23 paperwork ' package. In short, it ' is virtually impossible
- 24 to begin work on safety-related systems (which requires 25 QA attention) without the paperwork package. KRW, 26 EGM, JCS, DHL.
27 l
1 7. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning foreman 2 approval of inadequate welds on construction hangers, it 3 should be noted that in no case are construction hangers 4 used in nuclear safety related applications at Catawba.
5 Thus, the welds described by in Camera Witness #2 are 6 not significant with respect to nuclear safety. Moreover, 7 for such non-safety-related welds, the welding foreman is 8 the individual who approves such welds. In short, this 9 allegation raises no safety-related concerns. KRW, JCS.

21 22 Q. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH IN CAMERA WITNESS #2's ALLEGATION 23 THAT UNACCEPTABLE WELDS RESULTED FROM FOREMAN i
24 PRESSURE FOR HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AS OPPOSED TO HIGH 25 QUALITY?
- - _ _ ____r __m - __ ~v, . - . , _ .- - , . . ,- ., _ , , . , - - ., 3.-,. ,: rym.-_ ,.- y
i . l 1 A. Yes. We have reviewed his testhnony. As support for his 2 allegation, the witness raises the following major concerns:
3 1. He alleges that his foreman told him to finish his welds so 4 that they looked more uniform, despite the fact that the 5 witness did not believe that this had anything to do with j 6 the adequacy of the weld.
7 2. He alleges that Buck Henry told him that Henry's foreman !
8 pressured him to finish one weld using a certain weld rod
- 9 that was inappropriate. The witness alleges that Henry 10 further stated that the weld was rejected, Henry's stencil '
11 was pulled because of this rejection, and he was unjustly 12 forced to recertify. -
13 3. The witness alleges that Malcolm Young stated to him that 14 Young was forced by his foreman to weld one Class G 15 weld despite the fact that the fit-up was unacceptable, 16 and because of the poor fit-up, the one '. weld was 17 rejected. He alleges that Young told him that his stencil 18 was pulled because of this one rejected weld and Young 19 was unjustly forced to recertify.
I 20 4. The witness alleges that M. D. Ray atte:npted to cover up 21 defects in a weld because he was afraid of foreman 22 pressure.
23 5. The witness alleges that his foreman, L. Rudasill, 24 attempted to pressure him to tack weld fit-ups on 2 inch 25 schedule 80 stainless steel pipe for Ed McKenzie's crew in '
26 the Reactor Building (Unit 2) without proper paperwork 27 present.

' ' ~
1 6. The witness alleges that, welding foremen inappropriately 2 approved welds on construction hangers (which he states
! 3 are at times safety-related) in order to increase 4 production.
5 6 Q. HAVE YOU INVESTIGATED THE ALLEGATION?
7 A. Yes. This investigation consisted of a review of relevant portions 8 of documents regarding this issue, as well as discussions with 9 welders, welder foremen, general foremen, the welding I
10 superintendent, the piping superintendent, and pipe fitters.
11 12 Q. WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF YOUR INVESTIGATION?
- 13 A. From the investigation, we determined that the witness' specific 14 allegations were not accurate. Further, we could find no instance 15 where foremen sacrificed the quality of work for quantity. On the contrary, foremen are very concerned about quality. In any event, 16 17 nuclear safety related welds, including any which might have 18 resulted fmm the alleged poor welder practices, would have been 19 subjected to a number of required inspections and nondestructive 20 examinations to identify and, if necessary, repair unacceptable-21 defects. Accordingly, this allegation does not call into question the 22 safe construction of the plant. Factors which tended to support 23 this determination include those noted below.
'24 1. When a welder is certified and renews his certification 25 stamp , that certification is subject to removal if the '
26 quality of his welds so warrants. Quality Assurance 27 Procedure I-1 paragraph 4.7 states that renewal of l !
- - . -_- 1
qualification of a welder is required when the Authorized t2.' Nuclear Inspector, Construction Technical Support -
c:
-3 Welding, or the Project Quality Assurance Engineer raises N4 valid questions regarding the welder's ability to make i5 welds that meet the specifications. In short, when the
[6 quality of a welder's work is called into question his h7 stamp may be pulled and he may be required to recertify.
!8 Therefore, as the witness has himself stated, there is a f _
[9 great deal of pressure on each certified welder to perform
,10 quality welds so that his certification will not be pulled.
di WER, JCS, DHL, LRB.
12 13 2. A welder's certification may be pulled by QA/QC action at 14 the recommendation of supervision such as his foreman.
e 15 Contrary to the witness' position, there are occasions 16 where foremen have taken welders from production work 17 and required them to undergo additional training to 18 improve the quality of the welder's work. During these 19 training periods, however, quantity of production is 20 decreased. Indeed two out of three examples noted by 21 the witness in his testimony illustrates instances where 22 the foremen have required additional training to improve 23 quality at the expense of quantity. WER, JCS.
24 L
25 3. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning Mr.
!- 26 Young, Mr. Young's foreman, when questioned, stated 27 that the incident alleged by the witness did not occur as u
l 1 l-
, - - - - -- ..e.,--
l k .
- B3 the witness had described. Indeed, in our conversation I
with the welder, he stated that he was not pressured by B his foreman to get the job done at the sacrifice of
, k l~ quality. However, reports show that on approximately i ew gr iS- 9-30-)6", Mr. Young was required to receive additional h
16 training and be retested regarding a specific weld t.
S., procedure. The retest was conducted in October,1981. '
p.
$,. Mr. Young passed the test. Significantly, the basis for ri the retest was failure of two welds, not one as alleged by l{.
10 the witness. Further, Mr. Young's certification was not l
[11 pulled as alleged. In addition, the unacceptable welds, t -
32 by the witness' own admission, were not safety-related.
p.
23 In short, despite the fact that Mr. Young was, and still lk
' S4 is , a competent welder 'at. the Catawba site, in this U-15 instance the foreman sacrificed quantity to assure that 26 quality was maintained, even on a non-safety system. In Y-17 this case, foreman pressure was to assure quality. WER, b
E8 HRB, DHL.
19
- 4. With regard to the witness' allegations . concerning Mr.
21 Henry, Mr. Henry's foreman states that the incident as p
22 alleged did not occur as described. Indeed, in our
'23 conversation with the welder, he stated that he was not i
24 pressured by his foreman to get the job done at the 25 sacrifice of quality. An Employee Report dated 7-14-83
.26 documents .a reprimand given to Mr. Henry by his
,27 supervisor Larry Rudasill because of poor workmanship on v-l ~7-E
l '
p.
four welds on rupture restraints in the Unit I reactor building. General Foreman J. R. Wilson's memo to file 3 dated 7-14-83 states that the poor workmanship was I
4 discovered by welding supervision before Quality i
3 Assurance became involved. The Employee Report states i
6 that Henry would be required to recertify on the welding f7 process by taking the L-154 test. Welder Performance 8 Qualification Form I-1B records state that Mr. Henry ,
'9 performed the test on 7/18 -
7/22/83. However, he p _
10 failed the test due to a rejectable defect discovered 11 by radiography. He retested from 8/2 - 8/5/83 and was 12 recertified on 8-23-83. Significantly, the basis 'for b
13 pulling Mr. Henry's certification was his unacceptable i
14 work on four partially completed welds, not one as alleged i.
15 by the witness. In addition, welding craft management 16 (not QA) was responsible for identifying the need to i
17 retest to assure the welder's ability. In short, despite I:
18 the fact that Mr. Henry was, and still is, a certified p
19 welder, craft supervision sacrificed quantity to assure i
20 the quality of Mr. Henry's welds. DHL, WER, LWR, V
af. JRW.
22
.23 5. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning Mr.
24 Ray, the witness himself states that the foreman was 25 applying pressure to assure quality of the welds. ;
26 Indeed, in our conversation with the welder, he stated 27 u
that he was not pressured by his foreman to get the job j
,-w .-- - - , . . --a- - ,- .er ., , a, y,. -
l ,.
My done at the sacrifice of quality. This is consistent with 6
S': General Foreman J. R. Wilson's memo to file dated LA.
,4 ' 11-17-82 which states that he told M. D. Ray that the l
)
'4 quality of his work was unacceptable and that he would
- 5 be sent to the test shop for one day to evaluate his i6 ability. M. D. Ray's performance was determined to be 7 acceptable and no formal recertification test was given.
7 8 This example again supports the position that foremen will t9 not sacrifice quality for quantity. JRW, WER, DHL.
t-
}0 11 6. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning 12 pressure by Mr. Rudasill to perform tack weld fit-ups'on 13 pipe for Mr. McKenzie's crew without the paperwork, no 4
14 records could be located involving this incident, nor did 15 anyone involved have any recollection regarding any 16 direction to tack fit-ups without paperwork. However, it 17 should be noted that the only work in the Reactor 18 Building involving Mr. McKenzie's crew working with 2 19 inch schedule 80 stainless steel pipe where holdpoints for 20 QA signatures on fit-ups were not present (and thus the 21 only possible situation the witness could be referring to) 22 was prefabrication of a temporary bypass around the 23 blowdown heat exchanger. This temporary bypass was 24 required to flush the system without running water 25 through the heat exchanger. After the flush, the 26 temporary bypass was discarded. Prefabrication work on 27 the temporary bypass did not require any paperwork. It l
~ '
~
1
~
should be noted that such situations were not uncommon 2 in the plant. KRW, WER, EGM, JCS.
3 In addition, since much of the pipe in the plant is not nuclear safety related and requires no paperwork prior to 16 fitting and welding, a similar type of situation could have
)
j7 occurred in other areas of the plant. It should be noted n
- 8 p
that as a practical matter it would be totally icpractical if 9 not virtually impossible for fit-ups on safety related k _
30 systems to proceed without appropriate paperwork. To V t ep, al explain, before we ,being to withdraw piping material from f .
r12 storage to begin a project, piping craft must have the l l
.13 required paperwork which. includes the bill of material for
}+
24 the work, the isometric drawings, and QA sign-off forms.
y-15 The issue clerks need the bill of materials before they l6 will issue materials for the work so that they can sign off b
17~ that the material has been issued. Further, a cleanliness l~
l 28 inspection and sign-off is required prior to fit-up, and 1
V..
l 19 QA inspections personnel can not sign-off the cleanliness p.
20 inspection without the paperwork. Indeed, the sign-off.
p 21 sheet M-4A which the QA inspector signs to signify he F
22 has completed the e1==nliness inspection is part of the ht3 paperwork package. In short, it is virtually impossible 24 to begin work on safety-related systems (which requires 25 QA attention) without the paperwork package. KRW, 26 EGM, JCS, DHL.
27
1 7. With regard to the witness' allegations concerning foreman 2 approval of inadequate welds on construction hangers, it 3 should be noted that in no case are construction hangers l
- 4. used in nuclear safety related applications at Catawba.
5 Thus, the welds described by in Camera Witness #2 are 6 not significant with respect to nuclear safety. Moreover, 7 for such non-safety-related welds, the welding foreman is 8 the individual who approves such welds. _In short, this 9 allegation raises no safety-related concerns. KRW, JCS.
