COUNTY OF ) I SAN LUIS OBISP0 ) l I, D. Stupi, being duly sworn, depose and say:

I am currently employed by Pacific Gas and Electric Company as a Welding -

Engineer in the Nuclear Plant Operations Department. I am submitting this affidavit to respond to Mr. Steve Lockert's allegation contained in Joint Intervenors motion as JI #41, 8404040390 840319 PDR ADOCK 05000275 i G PDR 4

1. fir. Lockert alleges that f told him that it tas inappropriate to discuss the issue of deficient GTM nachines sith me. That, in part, is true, O but tir. Lockert has apparently forgotten the rest of the facts of the situation which are as follows:

2. As stated above, I am employed in the Nuclear Plant Operations Department of PGandE. I have no responsibilities for construction activi ties. However, when tir. Lockert first approached me with information about the GTM machines, I offered to look into the matter and report back to !!r. Lockert. tiy investigation showed that this was an apparent QA documentation problem rather than a technical problem.

When I reported back to him I advised him to take up the issue with fir.

Russ Taylor of PGandE QA. When I told him that we did not need to discuss the issue further, the reason was that we did not have a technical problem and the party responsible for his concerns was Mr.

Taylor.

procedures provide an acceptable alternative to the method of moisture control specified in Paragraph 4.9.2 of the American Welding Society's Structural Welding Code, AWS Dl.1. ,

Your alternative method consists of allowing the electrodes '(E7018)

~

to remain out of the holding oven for twelve hours withou't requiring .

re-drying before use. . Paragraph 4.9.2 of A'e.'S D1.1 imposes a limit of four hours maximum out of oven time. Your alternative method has been verified as providing acceptable moisture ' control by the tests described in Appendices C cnd D of the qualification report entitled " Qualification '

of an Alternative Electrode Control Program for AWS Dl.1" which was .-

transmitted by your letter dated April 4,1978.

Pullman Field Q.A. Inspectors monitor oven temperatures on a daily basis and the temperature has been maintained J above 2500F with a few minor exceptions because of tempera-

[ ture variations; i.e., due to opening door or oven and fluctuations of the thermostatic controls.

vtti PRCCEDURE5: ISO 12-500176 During the fabrication and erection phase of system 12. Contatronent

- Spray, several weld procedures were simultaneously being revised and raidentified. However, during this period the basic rod, rod identification and weld techniques remained stat,le.

It is noted that multiple weld procedures are recorded as being used for some welds documented in thase 150 records. For example:

weld procedure 128 is recorded on th.e process sheet and weld procedure 140 is recorded on the rod requisiti'on for the same weld.

Analysis of th)se weld procedures gives proof that the rod and \

weld techniques used were proper and in compliance with 831.7 Class Ii (B) . Code.

Pullman should exercise judoement when rirmovino construction induced defects on I

I, Russell Nolle, being duly sworn, depose and say:

I am currently employed by Pullman Power Products as a QC Supervisor at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. I am submitting this affidavit to address Mr.

Steve Lockert's misquoting of remarks that I made to him during the course of a discussion referred to in Joint Intervenors' Motion, Allegation #102.

t e

Mr. Lcckcrt indicates that he performed an inspection of a rupture restraint that was directly underneath the Unit 2 pressurizer. He indicates v that he noted unacceptable shop welds and discussed "this old work that would be absolutely unacceptable to any code" with me. Contrary to his statements, he did not discuss "old work that would be absolutely unacceptable to any code" with me.

However, we discussed other contractors' work on several occasions. I advised Mr. Lockert that these contractors may have worked to different acceptance criteria than Pullman. I also told Mr. Lockert that if he was concerned about the quality of other contractors' work, he should identify the condition to the proper authority (PGandE) on a discrepancy report.

- Diablo Canyon Project Specification 8711 P G and E Memo of 4-3-80, Shop Welds

Dear fir. Ryan:

Ua wish to clarify our memorandum of April 3,1980.

( It is not our intent to ignore or dismiss problems with shopwelds. We have ccnducted an extensive evaluation of shopwelds for mini..um required strength and maximum acceptable defect size and distribution. Therefore no further inspection or testing is required for data base and avaluation purposes.

Unless a shopweld directly affects Pullman work (e.g. defect in fieldweld

ene), there is no need to address the shopweld. If a sho: meld defect is reported during the inspection of adjacent field work the report (or copy) should be filed separately and the file turnea over to P G ana E with the last of the final walkdown packages.

During the final walkdown, Pullman will not be inspecting previously accepted shopwork. Therefore, we expect the need to report shopwelds will be minimal.

Sincarely, R. J. Et:1er Proj:ct Cuperintendent RTorstrom:fgm bec: JAAmmon O
