Dear Sir or Madam:
- Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I would like copies of all documents relating to an investigation conducted by the Atomic F
Energy Commission's Region I Division of Compliance in the late 1960s l of alleged irregularities connected with the construction of the primary loop for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Plant. i' This la"estigation, as 4 scribed in a Sept. 27.1973, leser (enci< ~ i from Richard J. Sullivan, Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, to Commissioner William O. Doub of the l !- AEC, was prompted by information provided to Dr. Roscoe Kandle, who
- . then headed New Jersey Gov. Richard Hughes' Atomic Energy Council.
! Kandle passed the information to Robert Kirkman, then director of the
, AEC's Region I Division of Compliance. Kirkman then investigated and
- substantiated the allegations, according to the letter.
No documents pertaining to this investigation were in the Ov' ster Creek file in the NRC Public Document Room in Washington, D.C., when I visited there on Jan. 20 of this year. My 1991 F0I A request which - 7 sought Oyster Creek documents that were not in the PDR also did not , yield any records of this investigation. s Q % ._
I p i o i I need these records for a book I am writing on the history of General Public Utilities Corp., which owns Oyster Creek through its . jersey . Central Power & Light Co. subsidiary. Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I also request
" Representative of the News Media" status, which entitles me to a :
waiver of search charges and 100 pages of free copying. This status is ; also available to established freelance writers. which I am. I am the l author of the book. UnnenDemer:A TruedyWAngole, Government sadthe Centes/isXiae/#4' published in 1986 by the University of j Pennsylvania Press, and have almost 20 years of experience as a j newspaper reporter.

DPR.16 Attached for your information and appropriate action are 5 copies (15 under neparate cover) of the final report of the investigation into allegations made concerning the procurement and installation of certain piping, fittings and valves at the subject facility. This report covers, with addit innat details, the results of CO's investigative activities het ween February 28, 1969 and April 29, 1969, previously summarized in the two Interim reports issued April 25, 1959 and May 6 1969, respectively. _
*lhin investigation was aimed primarily at those allegations, made by Mr.
Colin, that pertain to Oyster Creek 1. Other allegations by Mr. Celia, both general and specific - including some pointing to Indian Point 2, I Dresden 2 nnd the Power !!urnt Facility - are discussed in the section of this report entitled " Interviews With Complainant." As you are aware, t hese lat ter allegations are being investigated separately by CO (and RDT), nome preliminary results of which are discussed in previously issued memo-randn.* Informat too f rom another nource intimstely involved in this case, which point a further to the possible applienb!!ity of thin general problem on a nnt lonal scale and which included reference to several specific reactor i f acillt les current ly under construction, has also been documented.**
'th
- prinetpal results of this investigation are reflected in the Summary of Fact s sect ion of the report. In brief, the allegations made relating t o piping and valves were determined to be substantivet whereas, no in-form 1t ton won developed to nubstantiate the allegations made relating to

i i. . O O the quality of fittings. The recommendations of the investigating team regarding these issued have been communicated to you in the forwarding memoranda accompanying the previously referenced interim reports. During our interviews with Mr. Celin, he persistently condacted himself in a rambling manner, continuously jumping from one subject to another. In addition, inconsistencies and/or inaccuracies were often encountered in his statements. Some of the latter items appear in the report since an attempt has been made to present the facts as stated by him. Needless to any, these aspects of the interviews complicated the business of estab-lishing all the necessary specifics on each of the allegations made by Mr. Cella. A meeting was held with Dr. R. P. Mandle, New Jersey State Comsissioner of Henith, at his office in Trenton, New Jersey, on April 16, 1969, for the parpose of advising the State of New Jersey as to the status of developments reinting to Dr. Kandle's letter to Mr. Kirkman dated February 21, 1969. Thi s of fice was represented by Mr. Kirkman and the writer. Mr. C. G. Amato and Mr. W. Curnt, Esq., Deputy Attorney Genernt, Depertment of Public Ut ilities, New Jersey, were also present. Dr. Kandle stated that they, the interested representatives of the state, were not raising any doubts as to the competence of REG in these matters, that they had the fullest confidence in REG in this regard, but that they were generally interested I nod concerned. Dr. Kandle concluded by indicating his appreele. tion for being kept informed and made statements to the effect that the responsibility for resolution of the matters under discussion rightfully belonged to REG. l'or ihe purpose of continuity, i. e., to reflect the total picture in this memornndum, reference is made to the TWX dated April 8, 1969*, issued by t he writer to you and summarizing the results of the final prelicensing in-spectton of the subject facility, and to the forwarding memorandum from Mr. R. II . Engelken to Dr. P. A. Morris, dated April 8, 1969, both of which highlighted the safety significance of the areas under investigation and recommended the issuance of n limited Provisional Operating License pending snt isfnetory resolution of these arens of concern. Also, reference is made t o Provisional Operat ing License DPR- 16, issued to the subject utility on April 9 1969. which includes the limitation that the facility be operated at power levels up to 5 Mwt maximum and without the reactor head in place pending resolution of three outstanding issues, including the arens of allegat lon. Finally, reference is made to the letter from Dr. Morris to M r . .l . H. Logan, Vlec President, .lC, which speaks to these three outstand-ing issues, requests reports of specifics regarding their resolution, and states that a review of this information by DRL will be necessary before the full power operating license can be issued. Also, for the same purpose na stated in the previous paragraph, it is to be noted that this matter has been the subject of many meetings, telecons, and additional memoranda involving many interested organizations including the I
- Also CD inspection Report No. 219/69 2, dated May 28, 1969. l 1
9 o i
' . following: CO, Parameters, Inc. (CO Consultants). DRL, DRS, REG, RDT, INS.
ACRS, Commte. stoners, and JCAE. As you nre ownre, JC-CE BLR have underway a verification program relating to the arens of allegation. An interim report on the scope and results of their program was presented by them at a meeting with DRL-CO held for that purpose nt llendquarters on May 14, 1969. In a subsequent meeting between representntIves of JC-GE and DRL-CO, held at llendquarters on May 27, 1969, IC-CE were informally provided with a document prepared by CO and which outlined the items, in addition to those completed by JC-GE-B6R in their vert flention program, to be performed to meet Regulatory requirements, in view of the admission by IC-CE that the pedigrees of the subject piping and valves installed at 00-1 are seriously deficient, that a verification program is underway, and that the program is under review by REG, this offico does not plan any further investigation, per se, and considers t hi s aspect of the matter closed. A followup audit by CO to evaluate the of feet !ver. css of the JC-CE IER verification program will be performed at the appropriate time.

Informed Commissioners of the Public Utilitle Commission and a Deputy Attorney General for the Department of Public Utilities that pipe had 'aen installed I at Oyster Creek Unit No.1 (OC.1) that did not meet the specificatic .a of the j American Society for Testing Materials I ASTM). A telephone call to Cella on February 28.1*69 by Norman C. Moseley. Senior Reactor Inspector C0:1, elicited further general allegations to the effect that material was supplied by firms which, with the knowledge of subcontractors and f abricators, ignored purchase specifications and American Society of Mechanical Engineers I ASME) codes, that material was supplied by firms which wers not quali. fled to manufacture it and which were'not df stributors for any of the known qualified manufacturers, that in some cases material certifiestions which were ' provided were f alsified or improperly verified. and that prior to placing orders with fabricators inspections were not made of the fabricators
- shops or quality l control programs. Cella further alleged in this telephone conversation that some pipe which was specified to be ASTM A 312 actually was welded with filter metal, that this particular pipe was thin. walled and the use of filter metal made ,
the pipe unsuitable for nuclear applications. I In a subsequent personal laterview conducted March 11. 1969 Cella. In addition to the allegations set out above, charged piping suppliers in general with gross i negligence on delivery of material for nuclear plants, that it is a common practice , of suppliers to falsify material reports to cover shipment of stock material in ' filling nuclear purchase orders, that Burns & Roe, incorpora ed (B6R) had bought used valves for DC.l. had then rebuilt by a Clif ton, New Jersey firm and then re. quested Colla who owns Universal Testing Company. Cedar Crove. New Jersey, to test and certify these valves to specifications. Celia further alleged that all 6". 8" and 10" piping at OC.! le suspect because although ordered to meet si,ecification ASTM A.376 the material supplied was ASTM A.312 with filter metal. Further. fittings for the 6". 8" and 10" pipe were weld. ed by nonquellfled weldere and that no final testing or quality control was con. ducted on the welding. The investigation of these allegations, which speak to three general areas - piping, i
< fittings and valves, was technically initiated on February 28. 1969 by CO:1 with '
the tolephone call by reseley to Cella. However, it was not until March 11. 1969 when C0:1 was finally successful in arranging the above referenced interview with Cella that the investigation actually began. l l SUMARY OF FACTS j
- By direct observation at the OC.I site, documentation reviewed, and interviews with key individuals. It has been established that piping that does not comply with the applicable specifications invoked originally by B&R has been installed in the facili.
ty, including some in important safety related systems. Specifically, the inforum. tion developed indicates that the subject piping does not conform to the required standards of ASTN A 312 (seamless or velded without filter metal) or ASTM A*376 ) iseamless). Further. insufficient evidence has been produced by CE of BD to support their subsequent clate that the piping conforms to the standards of ASTM A 358 (welded with filter metal). Additionally, ellegettone that unquellfled manufacturers l supplied pipe and that inadequate material certifications were provided, have also been found to hav6 substance. l l

D FT All.S Introduction
- 1. In a letter dated February 21. 1969 addressed to the Director. Compliance Division.
Region 1. received at C0:1 on February 23. 1969 Dr. Aescoe B. Kand's. Vice Chair. man. New Jersey Ateetc Energy Council, informed C0:1 that on nursday. Febru:ry 13. 1969 Mosers. Alesander A. Cella and Paul E. Klebler set Commissioners R. 7. Dyrne and A.E. Croset of the Public Utilities Commission and W. Coral. Esq., Deputy Attorney General for the Department of littlities. Cells and Klebler wre identi, fled in the letter se of ficers of Pipeco 5tset Corporation. East Dickerson Soule. verd. Dover New Jersey. A copy of this letter is attached hereto as Eahibit A.
- 2. According to the letter. Colla and Klebiet informed Cural that Pipeco refused to supply pipe to JC for use in Dyster Creek Unit Ma. I since it did not meet the appropriate speelficattene. Celta and Etebter further stated they have learned that another fire (not identifiedi supplied the piping which meets the ASTM A.312 FM standard. Celta and Klebler, according to the letter, espressed the opinion that the use of the filter metal was objectionable and led to a reduction in quality not allowable for a nuclear powr station.
- 3. Af ter review of the letter from Kandle. Norman C. Moseley, Senior Reactor Inspector C0:1. telephoned to Cella on February 28. 1969 to obtain more specific Information concerning the allegations made in the letter. Celta refused to talk specifies tut made the following generalisations concerning OC.! and other nuclear plants:
- a. Material was supplied try fitus which ignored purchase specifications and ASME codes. This was done with the knowledge of subcontractors and fabrica.
tors.
- b. Material was supplied by fires which were nnt quellf f ed to manuf acture it and were not distributors of any of the known quattfled manufacturers.
- c. In some cases esterial certificates which were provided were falsified or leproperly verified.
- d. Prior to placing orders with f abricators, inspections were not made of the f abricators' shops for quality control programs.
4 Colla refused to be specific in connection with the information in the second peregraph of Kandle's letter (see Eahibit Al. Sie stated that Pipeco had not re. fused to supply pipe to JC but had refused to supply it to an unnamed subcontractor i for the reason given. Cella defined " appropriate specifications" to be ASME Code Section lit. In snower to the reference A5"m A.312 FM, Cella said some pipe which was specified to be ASTM A.312 was actually ASTM A.312 fH. He said this particular pipe is thin. walled and the use of filter metal made the pipe unsuitable for nuclear application. S. Although Cells was requested to be specific he declined to do so, but stated that he would meet with Moseley after Celle
- letted the Oyster Creek site on March 4 or S. 1969
- 6. Centrary to the assurance given to Moseley by Celta on February 23. 1969. Cella did not again communicate with Moseley.

I l
7 4 L Interview with Ceepletnant. Aleyender A. Cells, president. pjpero Steel borooretlen
- 8. The following interviews and telecons were made with the complainant to establish as spec titcally as possible the ellegations e6ade by his in the letter f rom Dr. Kandle dated February 21. 1969, and in the telecon with Moseley on February 28. 1969.
- 9. Cella was interviewed at his office on March 11. 1969 by Tillou and Ryan. Cella identified biaself as President of Pipeto Steel Corporation. He stated he is .lso the owner of Universal Testing Company and that he also acts as an z ray consultant, supplise radiographic and testing services and consulting services on piping. fit.
Celta stated that he has an AEC byproduct material license tings and seterials.authertains the use of tr.192 and Co.60 as sealed sources in numbe r 29 08540 01 r radiography.
- 10. When Celta was informed of the purpose of the visit by Tillou and synn he remarked.
"this thing to still haunting me."
Celta was asked to give specific information concerning the statements he had made
- 11. He declined to to the representatives of the State of New Jersey and to Moseley.
do so. He stated that if he were identified as the source of the informat f on on which his ellegations were based or if he were asked to testify at a hearing or other proceding he would decline to do ao and deny that he had made the statemente attributed to him.
- 12. Colle was alven assurance that he would not be identified as the source of infor.
nation, that any infoimation he gave to the C0:1 representatives would be treated in confidence.
- 13. Cella stated that t he re is gross negligence by piping suppliers in general on delivary of material for nuclear plants. He stated that it is a cournon practice of suppliers to f alsif y material reports to cover the shipment of stock material in filling nuclear purchase orders.
14 Cella stated that B6R bought used valves to be used in OC.I. Cella stated that l these valves were rebuilt by a Clifton, New Jersey firm. According to Cella. B&R l then requested him as owner of Universal Testing Company to test and certify these j rebuilt valves to spectitcations. Cella stated he refused to do so and that the work was done by a New Turk testing firm. which he was t.nable to identify. l k..
- 15. Cella claimed that all 6". 8" and 10" piping at Oyster Creek Unit No.1 is suspect.
l l He stated that Albert Pipe Npply Company ( Albert). a distributor, supplied pipe , and fittings to Tubeco. Inc. t hbecol for f abrication into spools. According to Cells j l Albert bou.;ht domestic and foreign pipe particularly pipe manufactured by Sandvik Pipe and Tube Co poration (Sandvikt. l Cella stated that Albert (Tubeco7) received a purchase order f rom 1%R for 6", 8" 16. l and 10" pipe to specification ASTM A 376 which is the spectitcation for stainless l ' steel seamless pipe. According to Cella. Tubeco lacked the capability to manuf acture the pipe and requested Pipeto to furnish it and specifically to ASTM A 312 (stainless i steel, seamless t.r welded). Cella stated (bat the request to supply the pipe lacked any requirement for tests. Inspections. ultrasonte tests for wall thickness or l to meet any weight criterte. According to Cella, these were not required since i Tubeco informed him it would provide all the necesserv paperwork and material cer. j i tifications. According to Celle. he refused to supply the pipe. Celle stated that the pipe supplied to speelfication AS"m A 312 would be suspect because it would be underwetsht or if welded would tequire the use of f t!!er metal.
- 17. Cella stated that the 6". 8" and 10" fittings supplied by Tubeco would be suspect i because the welders who made the longitudinal seses at Tubeco were unqualif ted and that there had been no final testing of quality control on the welding. In sub.
stantistion of his charges Cella stated that radiographs of butt velds f requently j revealed flows in the longitudinal seems of the welded pipe.
- 18. Cella stated that the request to Pipeco to supply the piping material to Tubeco had '
L been made about four years ago and he believed he still had the invitation to bid 6 in his retired files. Colla stated that he did not know for which system this pipe l l was required nor did he know which firm subsequently supp!Ied the piping. 'l 7 4 L f
) so
. g. ] 19 Cella charges JC with negligence for not esercising it s duty to demand an audit of all j quality control prograne covering all material used in OC. I. Cella st ated that it j was his opinion that JC did s.ot check on CE enough, that CE in turn did not check on it s people, and that the architect. engineer. N.R. did not check on anytine.
j 20. With regard to the allegation that f alet fled mat erial certificat ions wre supplied. j Colla stated that he had no specific data concerntng this matter. As an illustra-
- tion he st ated that specifications called for mill test reporte. He stated that
, certifications are issued by warehouses and that these may not be accurate copies i of the allt test reports or they may not be based on the mill test report at all. 1 Cella stated that information copied from the allt test report may not he included a in a certiftrate subsequently tenued by the warehouse, j. j 21. Cella stated that there are three speelf tcetions for stainless steel piping. He i stated that ASTM A 312 may le supplied either as wided (wit hout filter metall or , se seamless. He stated that ASTN A. 3$8 le wided twith f iller met all. ASTM A.376 j to the spectiteetion f or seamless st ainless steel pipe. Howver , he point ed out that the manuf acture of stainless steel pipe to A 312 specification in escess of 5 % inch well thicknese requires the use of filler metal in t he welding per " . and the use of filler metal in the wlding Procese is not permitted unde. this specification, g 22. Additional allegations by Cella at the time of this interview wre that at Indian ' Point. Dravo piping material had been rejected by Consolidated hit son and that the j tejected materlet was replaced by pipe suppl! *d by Pipeco. Cella st ated that
- j. his firm supplied the piping for Caroline rowr and Light Company's Robinson No. 2 j Reac tor and t hat he is supplying the pipe for the Fort Calhoun Reactor. He stated t hat he would sell pipe only to the speci ficat ione outet t t ed.
1 j 23. Paul Klebler. Vice President of Pipeco. Joined the dieeussion for ateut ten to fifteen l l einutes. During this time he made the observat ion t hat 90% of the problem wit h which j he and Cella are cone srned la in the dilution or interpretat ion of the speelfications. 26 Colla also stated that CE la toporting pipe free Japan at 4 0'. l e s s t han t he c o s t of
- domestic pipe. He stated that CE could not get certifications of the material f roe j the Japanese producers. Cella also stated that N.R had bought everything possible frne SandvIek.
,, 2$. As an tilustration of his complatnt. Cella save the following two specific instances. l j
He stated that at Dresden 2. b dish got the cent ract for pipe and fittings. According to Cella. Udteh only makes fittings and therefore bought the pipe free the United
!.t at es dist ributor f or Sandvik. Colla stat ed the Sandvik material certtitcations
- se e known t o be unrollable.
l f 2 ti . His second tilust rat ion concerned Ebasco who was the prios cont ractor ( A/E) on a j reactor project in Idaho which Cella later identified in a telecon with Robert T. Carlson on May 8 19 H . a s t he row r hu r st Fac i l i t y. According to Cella, the Ebasco ! subcont r ac tor. Howa rd S. Vr t aht . placed a piping order with National Stainless Corporation l INational) for pipe to Fbasco specif trat ions. According to Cella. Nat ional placed I en order wit h I'lesco f or A. 312 material. Subsequently Colle was nottfled that an in. spector representing Ebasco would to at Pipeco to inspect the piping. According to f Celle, the inspector rejected the order since A.312 did not meet the Fbasco spectft. l cations. Cella stated that neither he nor anyone connected with his firm had been
- Info med at t he t ime the order was placed that it was for a nuclear tristallat ion, j Cella stated that the entire order was put back in stock and he then tunuf actured g the pipe to the Ebasco speelfications. including test s which had been cettted f ree the original purchase order. Cella stated that this resulted in a sik nonth delay j in completion of the project, i
I ella was reinterviewd April 15. 1969 by Robert W. Ettkaan. Director C0:1. Tillou nd Rwan. Two earlier attempt s to contact Colla at his of fice. on March 17 and April 3. ! 69, were unsucceer.ful. At this time Celle was informed that a license had been i ued to JC for operation of OCol at S Hvt masteum and with the reactor head removed. I l - 1 l l L

28 Celta stated that he worked with Helmut Thielch who is a consultant to CE. He stated that he had been Informed by Thielch that about five months spo an elbow with a 14" dieseter and I" well thickness was supplied by Tubeco and was found to be made of two pieces, one alloy and the other carbon steel. 2
- 29. Klebler, who was also present, stated that it would be well to follow the Navy prac-tice of qualif ying me..uf acturere and esercising control over their operations other.
I, wise no control could be esercised Colla stated that Tubeco is getting a contract to f abricate pipe f or Consolidated Edloon at Indian Point. New York. He also gave se en esseple one Joe Zimmerman, who is head of Western Pipe who has been authertred , to have an N etaep but his plant has no qualifications which would justify authorisa. ! tion for thle steep.
- 30. Colla was asked to identify the teactor referred to in the earlier interview in which his fire had been asked to supply pipe to National Stainless Corporation. He stated
- he did not know the name of the reactor but believed it was located at Scoville.
Idaho. 4
- 31. In a further discueston of fittings Cella stated that swepcc. which manuf actured welded fittings, had no quellty control progree and that it did it s own radiography of the welds.
- 32. Colla stated that he would be willing to bet that no allt certifications are avall-4 able on at least 25% of the pipe or fittings at DC l. With regard to Albert. Cella stated that they had bought schedule so fittings f rom Ladish and used the test re port s received with these fittings to cover additional fittings made by Albert from esterials supplied by Pressed Steel Company, a forming company. Cella did not relate this state.
sent to DC.I.
- 33. Celta again charged that Tubeco had used unquallf ted welders in its plant clateing that althouah they had two to three welders qualtfled to ASME Section IX in their plant, they used up to 40 metal tradesmen welders, not quellfled to ASME Section IX.
He based his comment on his opinion that Tubeco could not physically have delivered - the piping order in the period of time they did using only the two to three qualif ted !_ welders. He elsles that they either steeped the welds using stamps of quallf ted i weldere or had used no identifying stamp at all. He alleged that through an arrange-I ment with the local union Tubeco had teen peraltted to use the unquellfled welders in f abricating pipe assemblies which Cella elatoed were intended f or the esport market. l He characterised Alloy Tube and Pipe Corp. I ATAPCO). which supplied pipe to Albert. for DC l. as incapable of producing nuclear qua.ity pipet that material they did q manufacture was primarily for use in paper allte. 1 . 34. Cella discussed the allegation concerning the procurement and installation of used , valves by h&R. He identified them as stainless steel in 6" and 8" stres. He stated
- that the valves were bought by BAR at prices which would preclude the purchase of 1 new material. The ortstnal version of his story was thenged somewhat in that he now i stated the valves had been bought by B&R f rom a New York City supplier. He stated 4 that an acquaintance of his from Clifton, New Jersey was the person who contacted 4 his regarding testa of the valves and certification by Universal Testing Company.
, Celia stated that he believed B6R had a f.=re price contract f rom CE which motivated h&R to cut all possible corners and to make material purchases with price as the I persoount consideration. Cella agreed that he would give Ryan additional information concerning the valves af ter he had checked with his informant on the specifle detalls of this setter.
- 35. On April 16. 1969 Ryan telephoned to Celle and was given the following information concerning the purchase of valves. Cetta stated that &&R had ordered about $60.000 worth of stainless steel valves f rom Bergen industrial Supply Co. ( Be rgen) . Ea s t Peterson. New Jersey. He stated these were in the stres f rom 182" to 2". Lolla stated that the price paid for the valves by B&R wee the catalog list price for brand new valves. - (Note this statement le contrary to that given by him on April 13, 1969.)
Colla stated that Bergen obtained valves from Metropolitan Pluebing Supply Corp. IMetropolitan). Long Island City. New York which he described as a firm that dealt only in surplus junk valves. Colla stated that it would be lepossible for Metro. politan to have any type of documentation to certif y the materials in the valves.
\* i 0
. 10 36 When questioned about his statement s concerning 6" and 8" valves. Cella stated he He had no speelfic information, that the information he had was only generalities.
was asked if he would provide the name of his informant in order that a direct interview could be cond1cted. Colla stated he would telephone Ryan on April 17 1969.
- 37. Cella did not 'elephone to Ryan on Apell 17. 1969 as agreed and af ter several attempts Ryse finally was able to speak with Cella by telephone late on that date.
Cella again tectined to identify his informant. Celta stated the 56R purchase orders were as follove, rurchase order BR.2299177 for valves to speelfication
$2299 55. Cella stated that Bergen bought reconditioned, used surplus vetves under this purchase order. He stated that purchase order BR 2299164 was also the medium through which reconditioned. used surplus valves were procured. Cella stated that items 303 and 389 on purchase order 164 f acluded valves up to 4" In aise. He st ated thsee were used in the following systems: Fuel Pool Cooling Condensate Transfer.
Isolation Condenser. Liquid Poison. Heating. Deelneraliser batsr. Reactne Head Cooling. Nit rogen. Fire Protectinn and Domest ic We' er. Colla stat ed that as far as he could ascertain there had been no recertification of the valves purchased through Bergen f rom Metropolit an. As an example of the prices paid by 8&R which according to Celle are the catalog prices. he stated that 3/4" valves were bought at $153.80 each. 4" valves at $239.25 each and 3" valves for $149.00. Analysis of Allenstions ( As of March 11. 1969 Interview) 3n. The statements. charges and allegat tans made by Cella as of the March II.1969 in. terview and pertaining to 0C.1 were analysed. As a result, four systems were chosen by C0 for the purpose of investigating the allegations relating to piping and fittings, The bases for the chotte of mystems included such considerations as: material composition. line sise, supplierf el of compon*nts, and safety signtlicence. The systems chosen wete! Core Spray. Isolation Condenser Shutdown Cooling, and Cleanup Domineraliser. , 39 Because of the general nature of the allegation relating to valves. se of the
" arch ll.1969 Interview. this area was given a lower priority at the outset of the investigation pending the development of enre specific information.
- 40. For the sake of clarity, the report hereaf ter is broken down into the three general areas of allegation. I. e. piping, fittings and valves, hvattination of Allemet tons con _c;ernhfirina 41, 14ve firm allegations concerning the piping at OC 1 were developed as follows:
- a. Piping was supplied for use in 0C.1 that was designated ASTM A 312 FM.
- b. All 6". 8" and 10" diameter A 312 (stainless steell pipe at DC 1 is rejectable because it is either underweight. or was made by the addition of filler metal.
- c. The firms that supplied the pipe materist in question (presumably A 312 FM) were i rnither quellfled to manufacture it. nor distributors of any known qualified e Laufacturer.
j
- d. Material certificates were provided that were inedequate, or were only sup-plist affidavits instead of true elli certtitcations, l
I
- e. A.312 seamless or welded pipe for DC.1 was substituted for B&R specified A 376 pipe.
- 42. On March 17.1969 Carlson telephoned to George Ritter. Vice President and Project Manager for DC.I. JC. and Donald Rees. Assistant Project Manager for DC. I. JC. The purpose of the estl was to inform JC through these individuels that certain allegs.
tions had been made relating to OC l. and that an investigation by CD was underway. Further. that they would be contacted in this regsid to the near future by Flora.
a
. Il -
- 43. Ritter and Rees inf ormed Carlson that about a month prior to this call they had heard from a representative of the State of New Jersey that people from Pipeco had visited the of fice of the Public L'tilities Commleston and made allegations to the effect that pipe at OCel did not meet nuclear standards. They indicated that they had heard also that the State of New Jersey had written a letter on this matter to the Region !._
Division of Compliance. They eatd that they had communicated with the representatives of Pipeto in the e regard, both in telephone calls and during a visit of the istter to the JC of fices in late February.1969, but that the Pipeco people denied making ' the allegatione. 44 Rees Informed Carlson that it was his understanding that the que st kred piping was lietted to that 10" in diameter. He said that following the initial indication of any problem, about old. February,1969 he notified both David Kregg Project Manager for B&R, and Nell Strand. Site Const ruction Manager for GE. of the situation and requested that they review the matter. He stated that he was subsequently in. formed that there was some material p7esent in the Core Spray and Isolation Condenser Systems at OC l. that was stainless steel and seme welded.1. e.. with filler metal. He stated that he had been told by Kregg and Strand that the pipe was in accordance with applicable speelfications and that on this basis JC had not investigated the ' matter any f urt her.
- 45. On March 18. 1969, as prearranged. Flora telephoned to Ritter and Rees to discuss in more detatt the nature of the allegations. to outline in general terms the plans of 00 in that regard, and to request of JC their cooperation and assistance. When asked if there was any JC documentation that bears on the subject areas. Ritter informed Flora that Don Rees had talked with Cella and Klebter of Pipeco but he
- did not believe there was anything in writing to docum nt this conversation. He retterated his previous statement to Carlson that JC was in the pecultar position of being unable to rebut the allegations because the p+rson reportedly making the alle.

- 46. Flora informed Rees of the specift' ellegations and through him sought to have a re.
presentative of JC accompany the li vestigative team. Rees suggested that the Project Engineer at hLa.'Guido A. La r t , be the cont ac t f or any inf ormation. investlaation at horns & Roe. Ineceporated. Oradell, New Jersey , 1
- 47. On March 18. 1969 Tlors and Ryan interviewed Lart at his of fice in Oradell New Jersey. Prior to the meeting. Flora had suggested in a telephone conversation with Lart that he should check with CE to ascertain whether that company had any reserva.
tions about AEC personnel talking to h&R personnel on these matters without the specifle acknowledgement er approval or presence of CE representatives. Lart had informed Flora that he believed that the plant had been " written of f" and that GE would require a statement of this atency's inquiry in writing. Lart suggested that Lou Loeb. Manager. Materials and Quality Services - Domestic Turnkev Projects (CEh should be contacted by this agency. j
- 48. At the interview with Lart. Flora read off the allegations in order to acquaint Lart with the nature of the charges and to obtain his comments thereon. With regard to the first alteration, that piping suppil d for use at DC.I was designated ASTM A 312 PM. Lart asked whether the pipe was so steeped. He pointed out that the spectfles.
tion A.312 does not allow the use of filter metal and he would like to know whether j the piping was so stamped. )
- 49. At this point. Lart interrupted the interview to telephone to the site and to speak to H. H. Minshall. Senior Site Representative for B&R. He requested Minshall to go into the reactor factitty to read the material designations on the stainless steel piping if possible. Lart ramathed to Flora and Ryan that Minshell informed him that most of the piping had been insulated and it might be dif ficult to get this information.
- 50. Lart stated that B&R did not purchase any material designated A.312 FM. He stated that he d(d not know whether material so designated was suprised to the site. He asked Flora and Ryan whether material certifications would be acceptable to sub-stantiate the quality of the pipe that had been installed.

. 12 . 51. Larl made the same response with regard to allegation number 2 that all 6", 8" and 10" diameter A.312 pipe le rejectable because it is underweight or had been made with the addition of filler metal. He then suggested that what CO was seeking were the cattulations to determine well thickness of the pipe. Another question he suggested CO was taleing was "is t he pipe that is installed equivalent to the specifications, or does B&R have the authorisation to install welded pipe 7" He inquired whether a copy of a letter authortning the use of welded pipe would satisf y CD's needs.
- 52. At t hle paint the interview was interrupted by a telephone call from Lou Loeb who talked with Flora and Larl.
- 53. In ble conversation with Flora. Loeb stated that he had been unaware of the situ-et ten into which this agency was inquiring until about one hour bef ore. Loeb stated he was very aroused, that he felt this matter had been handled very poorly.
Flora informed Loeb that t his agency had c leared wit h M'. t hat he had Inintmed La r t t hat CD would not dieeuss the matter with his unless he was certain that CE would not object to the interview, and that CO was agreeable that Cf. have a repre sentative present, l. neb stated he wnuld call Flora at Lati's of fice within the nest hour. 54, tatt then telephoned to Innn Villett. Project Manager (CEl. at t he alt e. Willett informed Lart that the CE people at t he s i t e we re a wa i t i ng wo rd f rom Loe b. La r i then read the list of questione given to him by Flora to Willett and requested that Willett Inform Carlson when the answere to these questions could be made available.
- 55. When the Interview was resumed. Lart stated categorically that piping designated ASTM A- )l 2 FM wa s not installed at DC.l. He stated t hat authorisation for A 358 pipe made frne A.240 plate, which is the same specification as the rectreulation system pipe. had been included in the CE design criteria. La r i stated that he personally had notified Tubeco, t he f abalcator, of the acceptability of A. 358 and A 240.
56, tari stated that in no case is the well thickness of piping below the specification including corrosion allowance. 57, With regard to the allegation that fi rms that supplied A 312 material were neither qualt fled to manuf acture it nor were they distributors of any known quellfled manu. f acturer. Lart stated he did not know how to satisfy CD's concerns in thle area. Sn. With regard to the alleention that Inadequate cert ifications had been provided. Larl st at ed that the certif tr ations had been sent to CE APED at San Jose. California. the h&R site office at Dyster Creek, the CE site office at Dyster Creek and the BLR office at Oradell, New Jersey. La ti stated these certifications had been reviewed by engineers employed by h&R. He further stated that B6R does not accept inadequate cart ifications but does accept facelelles of the certifications. Lart again telterated that for the 6". g" and 10" stainless steel pipe he had all of the material certification 6.
- 59. Concerning the last allegation regarding the piping. Lari stated that he knew of no application where ASTM A 376 (seamless stainless steel pipel was specified with out A 312 fatainless steel. seamless or welded) being equally acceptable. Larl again stated tl.at A 312 FM was not knowinely allowed by b6R.
- 60. The interview was again interrupted by a telephone call f rom Hinshall. Lart stated that Minshall informed him that there were no markings on the 9ecessible exposed piping or that s.here there had been markings they had been painted over. All the remaining pipe was either insulated or was inaccessible for lack of scaf folding.
- 61. Lart stated that he believed he could answer 95% of the questions at the time of this Interview. He stated he believed some of the statements on which the allege.
tions were based had been made in error. He stated that if he were in the place of JC or CE he would be asking who is making these statements. He stated that he is certain that CE and b6R have the material certifications and he cannot imagine that they do not have them.

- 62. Lart stated that he had subeltted the calculations for the well thickness of the pipe, including correston allowances to CE. He stated that in no case were thesa cat.
culatione under the specifications for A.112 or A 376. He stated that because of strikes and other factors, delivery of the spectited pipe could not be made. When he communicated thle inforestion to CE he wee advised that the use of ASTM A.358 pipe using A.240 plate was authorised under the design c;1teria and he so notified Tubeco, f acticators of the pipe spools. Lart repeatedly questioned what was behind these allegations. He pointed out that bl.R had a man at ATAPCO. suppliers of the pipe to Tubeco, and that 100% redtography of the welds on the piping had been required.
- 63. It should be noted that if pipe were manuf actured to the requirements of the purchase o* der issued to ATAPCO which speelf ted A.312. the thickness requirements of A.312 would be applicable. A copy of the purchase order f rom Albert to AT APCO dated De t obe r 25, 1966 obtained f rom Tubeco is attached hereto as Eshibit B. The re.
aulting pipe could be underweight by the standards of A 35s. which in the diameters of interest requires thtcher walls than does A 112. (See table below.)

- 65. Larl stated that Loeb had made an audit of the various piping systems and that there was also en audit that had been performed by b6R personnel. In conclusion Lart stated that he knew of no place in which only ASTM A 376 had been spectiled and in which ASTM A 112 was not acceptable as a substitute. He retterated that very ,
definitely pipe deslanated as ASTM A 312 FM had not been installed in the f acility. ) Lart stated that all 6". 8" and 10" piping had been bought f rom ATAPCO through Albert and had been f abricated by Tubeco. Investimetlen at Site 66 On Match 18 21. 1969 Carlson and Roy Gustaf son. Division of Reactor Standards, were at DCol. Flora and Ryan were also present at DC.l on March 20 21. 1969. ; i
- 67. Carlson and Custafson vleually examined the stainless steel piping and fittings (n.
stelled in the four systems chosen for review: Core Spray. Isolation Condenser. I Shutdown Cooling and Cleanup Deelnereltser. Approminately 90% of the selected cos- 1 ponents were found to be covered with insulation. The scaffolding had been removed and lighting conditions for e. amination of the components were marginal. The coe. ments in the following paragraphs speak to the observations made regarding the j accessible portions of the orposed components. , i

68, Portions of the Core Spray System in Loop A inside the drywell were examined. Both welded and seamless sections of 8" pipe were noted. One piece of seamless bore the . following notatient "A 3121 RT 2000. A 376. Type 316. Sulf at e A 233." A piece appro Imately 5' long, locat ed in an unisolatable portion of the syst em between the reactor vessel nostle and the first valve, was observed to be clearly welded but its inaccessibility prevented positive confirmation that filler metal was used.
- 69. Portions of the Core Spray 11 stem f n loop B outside the dryvell were examined. Several sections of welded A" pipe and several welded 8" fittings were noted. The weld seams on the pipe had been ground smooth with no clear evidence of weld beads or ripples.
One piece, approutmately 2' long and located upstream of isolation valve V.20 41 tere the notations: "NZ3.2. 312 ALP. T.1195." Another piece, approntmately 4' long and located upstream of valve V.2018 was identif ted: "hE2.66. Alloy Tube iseudged words) code." In Core Spray System Loop B. Out side the drywell.14" length of 8" d pipe tupstream of isolation valve V.20 15) was observed to have been welded with l filler metal. A top layer of the weld deposit had been ground, but a lower layer a had not been machined and weld beads were in evidence. Several elbows of apparent welded construction but without clear identification were also noted in these portions of the A and B Loops in the Core Spray System.
- 70. 1wn lengths of pipe in the isolation Condenser System. out side the drywell, were ob-served to be esposed and are essible for examination. The first. A 10" diameter piece appronlaately 5' in length, located upstream of isolation valve V 14 34. showed clear evidence of being welded with filler metal. Weld beads and ripples were clearly in evidence as the veld surf ace had not been ground. The pipe had the notation ,
NE2.13 marked on it and the word " York" stenciled on it. The second piece of pipe esamined in this system was a 3' length of 8" line, located in the return leg on 1 the downst ream side of Condenser A. The designation NE2.14 was marked on it. Also, the following inforantion was stenciled on the line: " Welded A 312 A6P pipe. Tag Job
- 608800. Reg T1996. Alloy Tube Pipe Corp." This length of pipe also appeared to have i+en welded with filler metal. None of the fittings in this system were esposed for esamination.
- 71. Portions of the Shutdown Cooling System, located inside the drywell, were examined.
4 The lines.14" in diameter and deslaneted as NU l and NU.2. were observed to be weldcJ hut no stencil markings were in evidence to note the type of stainless steel. ] the specification or the source of manufacture No fittings were examined in this system. I l
- 72. In the Cleanup Domineraliser System. outside the drywell, a large amount of exposed !
6" seamless stainless steel pipe was in evidence. Most of this pipe bore stencil l m.. kings as follows: "Sandvik Stainless Steel (seamless) 3R60 ASTM 312 Type 316 L ; 5 hadute 80." Vertous heat numbers were in evidence. In addition, several lengths ! of seamless pipe with the notation " ASTM 376" were noted. The manufacturer of this letter pipe was not identified. Several 6" fittings, welded with filler metal. were l also observed installed in this system.
- 73. The scrap pile was esamined by Carlson and Custaf son for stainless steel pipe but the nearch did not reveal any in the categories in which CD was interested. A 6" diameter piece of schedule 10 pipe was found. This cloc. menuf actured to ASTM A 312, was noted to have been welded without filler metal, the difference in appearance from 4
the welded pipe installed in the plant was quite noticeable. i. e. there were no weld beads and the weld surf ace had not been ground. The sections of esposed piping visually esamined by Carlson and Custaf son on March 18
- 21. 1969 discussed above. were esamined again by Carlson in the company of Avers. CPU.
on March 21. 1969. The specifte items of note discussed previously were singled out for the benefit of Avers. It was pointed out by Carlson that at least 50% of the piping observed by him (except that in the Cleanup Demineraliser Systemi was welded with filler metal. Further, that some of this piping (with filter metall was located in unisolatable portions of the reactor systems. Avers indicated agreement with ) these observations. ' i

- 75. Portions of the pf ptng discussed in the previous paragrapt. were emantned again by Carlson with Pyon and Tillou during the March 25. 1969 vielt to have additional observance by CD of the conditions noted.
76 On Ma rc h 21. 1964 rarlson and Custafson, while at the site reviewed radiographs ' of selected field performed girth welds in the Core Spray System (B64 designation NZ). The purpose of this review was to look for indications of longitudinal seems made with filler motel. Radiographs of welde joining pipe and fittings, and/or valves, previously observed to contain actual or appetent deposits of filter metal were chosen. 1he speelf te redlegraphs reviewed and observations made are as follows: Weld Identifiestion Ob3 ggvations NZ 3 5922 Apparent evidence of filler metal in ' longitudinal seama NZ.3 5936 Evidence of filler metal in longl. tudinal seems Evidence of filter metal in tonst-4 NZ 3 5946 tudinal seems NZ 3.$948A Evidence of filler metal in longl. tudinal seems

Carlson. Flora. Gustaf son and Ryan participated in a discussion of the specifications involved in this investigation. Loeb stated that Lart had located a letter dated October 10. 1966 f rom CE to 86R ' which stated that pipe designated ASTM A.312, 376 or 358 could be used in the Class 1 Systene. Lart stated that the applicable CE design criteria authorised ASTM A 312. ASTM A.358 or ASTM A.376. However, according to Lart, when B&R prepared the spec'ficettnns they were written to authorise only ASTM A.312 seamless or ASTM A.376 toeamless). When deleve of delivery were encountered. Lart communicateJ with CF. a t San Jose California. He stated that he then received the letter dated October
- 10. 1966 Informing him that under the CE criteria the use of ASTM A-358 was author.
Ised. Lart retterated that under the B&R specifications only seamless pipe had been authorised. The letter referred to f rom CE to BAR t e. according to Lart the authnrity for the use of rolled welded pipe. 82, leeb stated in response to questioning that there is no ASTM A.312 in the plant i that has been welded with filter metal.
- 83. A copy of the pertinent sections from the CE design criteria entitled " Functional (
Specification and Design Criteria (Piping and Valves) for Jersey Central Dyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant". Revision 3 dated July 13. 1966 was obtained f rom Lart and is attached hereto as Eshibit C. It states under paragraph 5.0. Materials, sub. paragraph 5.3.1. that pipe shall be ASTM A.376. A.312 and A.358 Class 1. Type 304 or 316. A copy of the letter dated October 10.1966 f rom 3. A. HuLains. Principal Project Engineer. CE to D. H. Kroga. B&R. previously referred to by Larl, was ob-tatned from Lart and is attached hereto es Eahlbst D. This letter states that the CE critetta on piptog for the Emergency (Isolation) Condenser System ortatnally out. lined A.312 (seamless or welded pipe) or, as an alternate. A.376 (seamless pipe). The second paragraph of the letter states that the criterte mentions welded pipe as being acceptable for this application. Note that in the first paragraph, the dests. nation A.312 is circled and the comment "A.358 welded for our sites" added. When a copy of this letter was reviewed and the Information in the first paragraph regard. Ing the designation ASTM A.312 noted. Loeb stated that this letter was obviously in error, that the letter should have read Type ASTM A 358. Both Lart and Loeb then insisted that the pipe supplied by ATAPCO had been ASTM A 358. They both agreed that if the certifications for the matettal on file at B&R showed that this material l was ASTM A.358, the question of the identity of the pipe would be cleared up.

Lesb stated that these shop plans had been prepared with the material deatsnations in. printed thereon befste the actuel delivery of the pipe, and that they (Tubeco) s p. parently had elected to use thee rather than prepare new forms.
- 85. On March 26. 1969 Carlson, Ryan and Tillou met with Huggins at the site to discuss further the handling of the change in the B6R specifications. Lart was also present.
s 86. Lart stated that there had been no formal documented change in the spectitcations. He stated he had received the letter dated October 10. 1966 from iluggins authortsing i the use of welded piping. On the basis of this letter Lari stated he telephoned to Hutchinson, the Purchestng Agent at Tubeco and informed him that rolled and welded pipe designated ASTM A.358 was acceptable. Lari stated that this telephone call was not subsequently confirmed in writing.
- 87. Because there are additional requirements in connection with the use of ASTM A.358 piping, such as 100% radiographic inspection of longitudinal seems. Lart was asked by Tillou whether Tubeco had been advised of these additional requirements. La r t answered in the affirmative and stated there were records available to verify this.
Cet tson inf ormed the group that all the documents reviewed by CO to date identified the piping as welded ASTM A.312 (with filler metal).which by definition could not meet the spectitcation of ASTM A.312.

89 Jung explained that a copy of the specification to sent out to prospective bidders. The successful bidder then receives a letter of intent followed by a formal purchesa , order.
- 90. Jung stated that tle supplier of piping for the Cleanup Deelneraliser System erected by Atatralt.Doyle, was Hutco of Pasco. Washington. Jung stated that normally a change order in the specifications would be issued as an addendum to the specifications by letter to the contractor.
- 91. Jung did not have available purchase ordera leeued by Tubeco or by Hutco. He stated that these companies would have copies of the purchase orders they had issued.
- 92. Jung stated that Tubeco had obtained its pipe f rom Albert, which in turn obtained the pipe free ATAPCO.
- 93. Jung stated that he has the meteriel eertifications (test reportel for the piping spools supplied by Tubeco except for the el'uows from Tube Turns. He stated that all piping from Tubeco came from ATAPCO and is designated A.312. According to Jung.
ATAPCO supplied only stainless pipe to Tubeco. Jung stated that the material certi. fications from Hutco, although nailed by Hutco, had not yet been received at B&R. 94 Jung stated that he was attempting. through Tubeco, to get verification free ATAPC0 that the stainless steel piping supplied to Tubeco was actually made to the ASTM A.338 specifiestion and not ASTM A.312. Jung acknowledged that all the records available to his showed the pipe designation as A.312 not A.358.
- 95. Jung had evallable for review copies of the welder quattf tcetion ' records from Tubeco and from ATAPCO. These appeared to be in order and no questions were raised concern.
Ing thee. Jung acknowledged that his efforts to get the material certifications f rom Hulco and confirmation f rom ATAPCD that piping supplied to Tubeco meets the specifi. cation ASTM A 358 had begun only within the last two or three days prior to the date of thle review, that is March 26. 1969.

Investigation Specialist C0:1V. made en investi. gation into the financial status and manuf acturing capability of ATAPCO.* Vard estabilehad that ATAPCO was acquired by Tube Associates incorporated (Tube j j l Assnelates), a subsidiary of Armeo Steel Corporation. Another related company. i Associated Steel Ceepony. Inc.. of Houston, was in the midst of acquisition by l Areco Steel Corporation. l I 10%. Ward established, through appropriate inquiry that information concerning ATAPCO ' wee not available in Houston. Tenas. The inquiries were made through auch agencies as Cenatal Services Adannistration. Small Busintas Adelnistration. Securttles end. Eachange Commission. The Defense Contractors Admint etration Service Of fice of ] Defense Supply Agency, and the accounting fire of Frice Waterhouse and Company. I Another knowledgeable source contacted by Ward. the Market Research Manager of the l ! Gulf Publishing Company. Tracy T. Word, had no knowledge of ATAPC0 and was of the , opinion that no local company could produce large diameter stainless steel extruded l i pip *. l i 107. Verd also obtained copies of the welding procedure quellfication and welders qualt. fications f rom W. O. Strong. Jr., of Tube Associates and formerly General Manager i of AT ApCO. 108. Ward stated in ble memorandum that the only recorde available f rom ATAPCO in l connection with the order f rom Albert for pipe installed at OC.l are a list of purchase order numbers and accounting records pertaining to ATAPCO. d ! 1 09. On Aptt! 8.1969. John W. Flora. Senior Reactor Inspector. CO:lV. visited ATAPCO.** The purpose of the viatt was to determine by way of discussion and visual observa. l tion the pipe manufacturing capability ATAPCO possessed in early 1967 when the CO 1 ! pipe was manufactured. The second purpose was to detsruine from observation of the + equipment and shop practices whether ATAPCO could produce pipe of high quality. During the visit Flora obtained several procedures utilised by ATAPCO in the manu. > f acture of pipe, some of which he considered as being deficient. e 110. Acantding to Flors. Associated Staal Inroperated. described as a stater firm to l AT APCO. handled all purchase orders. procurement of pipe and mill test reports for
- manuf acturing done by ATAFCO. Flora described the equipment in the plant as not modern, but appearing to be equipment disposed of by others. Flora stated in his ;
report that ATAPCO is not fully equipped to do physical testing. Its finished pipe t is not protected by end caps. Flora stated he saw no evidence of supervision in the plant at the time of his visit, even though welding, foratng and heat treatment 3 operations were being conducted. He stated he observed pipe. 10" in diameter. ochedule 40 with a well thickness of 0.365 inches manuf actured with filler metal, j which was identified as A.312 pipe. Flora also reported that he had observed a that af ter pickling and passivating, the staintees steel pipe was rinsed with city 4 water f ree e shrden hose with no control over chloride content of the pickte. . passtwate bath or the rinse water, til. Flora stated that Strong Ceneral Manager for Tube Associates, which had purchased ATAPCO had stated that the plant to essentially unchanged f rom the condition it ; was in in 1967 at the time the OC.1 order was manufactured. Strong espleined the relationship of Associated Steel to ATAPC0 and that all paperwork had been taken care of by Associated Steel with no documentation going to ATAPCO. ! 112. Flora ascertained by queettoning Strong that ATAPCO had only tietted qualtiteetion to accomplish phyeleal teste. no capability for doing cheatcal snel.wses and limited hydreetatic testing f acilities. According to Strong, radiography was done by use of an moray machine and the radiographic films. according to Strong, would be swatt. able through Galbretth, formerly Frostdent of ATAPCO. s

Maryland and Jessop Steel Company in Washington. Fannsylvania. ytors also ascertained that ATAPCO, at the time it manufsetured the pipe. was certified to use j the "U" and "FF" code stamps. At the time the order was being manufactured. ATAPCO d was not certified to use the "M" code etsep. 114 Flora observed a pipe length, identified by Strong as eersp. marked " Alloy Tube and Pipe Corporation 6" S/40.F304 HT.31594 welded A 312. ALP pipe." Five other pipe lengths observed by Flora, identified as not being scrap by Strong, had markings on two of the lengths as follows: " Tube Associates 10"S/40 P 304L welded A 312 ALP HT 78463." According to Flora. Strong contended that 6" diseeter pipe had been welded
- 4 without the use of filter metal. Strong acknowledged that filter metal had been used to manuf acture the 10" diameter pipe even though its well thickness. 0.365 i '
inches, la less than the masteue ATAPC0 could join without the use of filter metal. I that is. 0.375 inch. 1 ll5. Flora made the observation that the manuf acturing equipment at the ATAPCO plant appeared to predate the organisation of ATAPCO in 1961. Flora was infsi.+4d by Strong 4
- that the hydrostatic pressure gauges were calibrated by Hildebrand Engineers and the controls and and recorders for the best treatment furnace, by Honeysell Instrument Company. Ward had obtained and subett'ed with his report an af fidavit by Strong.

Cella had ateo stated on April 15. 1969 that he had been informed by Helmut Thielch. consultant to CE, that about five months ago an elbow with a 14" diameter and !" well thickness was supplied by Tubeco. it was found to be made of two pieces. ene alloy , and the other carbon steel. In a further discussion of fittings on that same date l (April 15. 1969) Cella stated that Swepco which manufactured welded fittings, had no quality control progree and that it did its own radiography of welds, it should be noted that these specific allegations regarding Tubeco and Swepco were made sub. sequent to the visite to those compantes (Tubeco on March 28. 1969, and Swepco en April 2. 1969. The results of the latter visit are discussed in subsequent pare. graphe). 120. Specification .60A is for pipe and fittings f abrication. In Part !!. Technical Specifications, on page 1121. the fittings for the Core Spray System are specified ast"2%" and Berger . seentess, material and thickness same as pipe."(Seamless stain. less steel ASTM A 312 or 376. TF 3161 thickness . Schedule 80). The specifications for fittings are generally typical for all stainless steel systems. However, it should be noted, that according to Lart, when B&A was informed by Tubece that A 312 seamless stainless steel pipe could not be suppiled verbal authorisation to change the specification for pipe fittings from seamless to A.403 welded Type 316 fittings. Lart had interpreted the authorisation contained in the letter dated October 10. 1966 from CE as a blanket authorisation covering all stainless steel pipe and fittings for all systees, not just the Emergency (Isolation) Condenser Systen as stated in the letter. 121. The results of observatione made regarding fittings during visual enseinstions of the installed equipment. made by representatives of CO and DRS during visits to the site on March 18 21 and 25 26.1969 are discussed in the previous section of this report that deals with piping. 122. On March 26. 1969 Jung stated that the contract for piping and fittings for DC l had been issued to Tubeco. Tubeco tenued a purchase order to Albert for the pipe and fittings. The piping was obtained free ATAPCO. ATAPCO also supplied 14" and 16" fittings. 123 Albert also f esued purchase orders to Alaskan Copper Works (for elbows and reducers). Swepco Tube Corporation (for elbows and reducers). Tube Turns flor elbows and tees) and Lenape Ferge (for wyes). 124 On March 26. 1969 Jung made available the material certifications free Alaskan Copper, the supplier of 8" elbows and reducers. These certifications contain affidavits that , the fittings meet ASTM A.403 requirements. Jung also had available as part of the I esterial certifications from Alaskan Copper the reports of inspection of radiography which was performed by Fittsburgh Testing Laboratory on all welds of these fittings. 123 Jung also exhibited material certifications from Ladish, which contained all the required quality control and inspection information to confirm conformance with the A.312 esseless specifications. These material certi!. cations were over a notartsed signature. Ladish manufactured piping for the Cleanup Deelneraliser System. i 126. Because of the relatively large number of fittings it supplied and its proximity.
, Swepco. I Clif ton Boulevard. Clif ton, New Jersey, was selected for the purpose of deteretning whether fittings supplied by it were in accordance with the BAR spect.
i fications. Albert had issued purchase order number 836873D dated October 25. 1966 to Swereo for thlety.nine fittings, ten and twelve inches in disseter to be manu. factured to AFTM A.603 TF 316 including 1001 radiography. A copy of this purchase order is attached hereto as tahibit J. 127. At the time of the visit to Tubeco on March 20. 1969 Creen made available a copy of a certification free Swepco dated March 27. 1969 certifying that the isttings had been manufactured using welding procedures qualifted in accordance with Section IX of the ASME boiler and Pressure Vessel code and by welders quellfied under the same section. In addition, the welds were a. rayed ID01. A copy of this certifica. tion is attached as Eshibit K.

4 129. A review of the Swepco records concarning the manufacture and inspection of the ~ fittings supplied under purchase order V.36873.D indicated that the Swepco welding > procedure number 200w 16 dated May 31. 1963. set the ASME requiremente for welding group Pt f etainless steell base estal. Swepte welders are certified by the Swepco Metallurgical Leberatory and I. Ray Department af ter en evaluation of a test specimen in accordance with the requiremente of ASME code Section 1.".. The employee who did J the welding on thle order. M. Solowey, was identified f rom shop records as the sole welder en the fittings f abricated for thle purchase order. Records were produced verif ying Solowey's certificetion for welding stoup F8 materials by Tungsten inert get method and by the consumable electrode manuel arc method. Some and Michie were unable to find a record of Solowey's certification to the combination method of welding under procedure 20016. Solowey le no longer employed by Swepco and is not currently included on records of certified weldere. j 1 30. All fittings manuf actured by Swepco under this purchase order were made f rom allt. 1 cut segmente purchased by Swepco from C. O. Carlson. Incorporated of Thorndale, a Pennsylvents in thicknesses of it'16" noelnal for the 12" fittings and 19/32" noelmal for the 10" fittings. These segments were from the same heat of material and
- were accompanied by an af fidavit covering the cheetcal and physical teste. which j vettfled it to be ASTM A.240 CF 316 stainless steel plate as required by ASTM A.403.
a ' 131, The radiography of the welding on the fittings was done by the Svepco X.

Heat treatment operattens, in accordance with requirements for ASTM A.403 fittings. q. are accomplished in two oest euffle batch type gas fired furnaces, each twenty four i feet long, four feet high and four feet wide. Each funnece has three mones individually l controlled by thermocouples attached to strip chart recorders for providing permanent temperature records for each furnace charge. Furnace instrumentation and controls are :alibrated seat. annually by Pyrameter Equipment Company of Kearney. New Jersey with equipment which is traceable directly to the National Sureau of Standards. 133. Forming of the mating halves of each fitting is accomplished by pressing the flat pipe segments between matched male and female dies. Af ter this forming a 100% wall thickness inspection is accomplished using standard and deep throat sterometers
- to assure that the forming operation has not stretched any local areas below the einleve thickness tolerance allowed by ASA B16.9. that is 87\% of nostnal pipe j thickness. The eterometers used for this inspection are calibrated periodically by Blanchette Metrology Laboratories of Clif ton, New Jersey.
j 134 A revlev of randon radiographic file covering the welds on representative fittinge under this purchase order was made se follows: 12" 900L 5 files. 10" 900L - 4 5 files. ID" 45o short radius L 5 files,10" to 8" concentric reducer . 2 files. l These radiographs were all found to be better than average quality with good penetrometer leases indicating sonettivity of better than 2% density, well within acceptable range, and resolution of the subject material excellent. The welds were escoth, uniform and showed good control of heat. They were entirely free of any irregularity in the root undercutting. porosity or other objectionable defects. There were e f ew widely scattered, small f approstmately l'16") steg inclusions, though in all cased these were found to be considerably smaller than the sine of non. aligned incluetons which are considered acceptable by the ASME code. t

' described by Jung and Lart as a length of pipe, one end of which la joined at a right angle by welding to an opening in another pipe. , Investlastion of Alleastione Concernina Valves 137. On March 11. 1969 Celta had informed Ryan and Tillou that B&R had bought used valves for use at DC.I. had thee rebutit by a Clif ton, New Jersey firm and then had request.
ed Celta, who owne Universal Testing Laboratories Inc. at Cedar Grove New Jersey to test and certify the valves to spectiteetions. Colle stated he had refused to do ' so and that the tests were subsequently done by an unidentified New York City testing organisation. 138. On April 15. 1969 Cella was reinterviewed at his office in Dover. New Jersey by Robert W. Kirkman. Director Cor1, Ryan and Tillou. Concerning the allegation that used valves had been procured and installed by B&R. Cella stated that an individual he knew in Clif ton. New Jersey had approached him to have used valves bought by B&R froe a New York supplier tested and certified for use. He stated the J used valves were in the 6" and 8" sises made of stainless steel. He stated that the prices paid by B&R for the valves were such that they could not have bought new material. 839. On April 16. 1969 in a telephone conversation. Cella informed Ryan that he had been a informed that b&R had bought about $60.000 worth of stainless steel valves in stres 1/2" up to 2" f rom Bergen. East Paterson. New Jersey. Cella stated that according to his informant. Bergen had obtained the valves from Metropoliten. Long Island City. New York, characterised by Cella as a dealer in surplus junk valves. He stated that Metropolitan could not supply any certification for these valves. Cella was questioned about his previous statement concerning 6" and g" valves. He stated he had no specific information that the used valves were among these sises. 140. In another telephone conversation with Ryan on April 17. 1969 Cella stated that the valves in question were 1/2" to 4" in ca se and were of different materiale, that is, stainless steel, carbon eteel, brass and bronse. He also provided specifics as to the &&R purchase order numbers (to Bergent and specific iten numbers for the ident!. fication of the valves. Calla stated that the bkR specifications called for new materials whereas they received reconditioned, used surplus valves. He stated that the prices paid for the valves by hkR were the estalog list prices for new materials. 141. In the earlier intervieve with Larl, Jung and Loeb. In the period March 18 27 i 1969, the AEC representatives were informed that no used valves were installed in Class I systone at DC.I.

l 25 151. Jung was requested to strange a visit to Bergen to inspect its records and to iden-tif y the sources of supply used by Bergen. This visit was scheduled for Tuesday. April 22. 1969. The contact at Bergen was Mrs. Mary T. Hilla. l$2. On April 22. 1969 Ryan and William J. Collins. Metallurgical Engineer. Technical Support granch, CO:HQ. set with Jung and Zogree at 14 Stef anic Avenue. East Faterson. How Jersey. Mary F. Hills identified herself as the estimator and order clerk for Be r gen. She stated that contrary to her espectations, when she first received the k&R putchese order, she learned that the delivery dates had been moved up and instead of having three to f our months procure ent time, it was reduced to a matter of weeks. Under these circumetences, according to Hilla, the valves had to be obtained from many dif f erent sources. Hilla stated that on purchase orders 166 and 177. Bergen had lesued a purchase order to Charles F. Cuyon, incorporated. She exhibited certift. catione f rom Dresser Industrial Valve and instrument Division. Alexandria. Louisiana, which were duplicates of those previously reviewed at E&R on April 18. 1969. She also had a copy of the certification f rom Walworth dated August 13. 1966 133. Hille stated that Bergen had been in business only 3) years. It had started by buying satorials f rom jobbers, but now sets as a distributor for recognised valve manufacturers. She stated that Bergen saintains an inventory on stainless steel valves. She stated that certifications are not obtained for stock valves but are obtained only if requested in the purchase order. Hille stated that valves manu-f actured by Jenkins. Valworth. Crane and Tatrbanks are, acrording to statements in these companies' catalogs, manufactured to confors to ASTM specifications. 154 Hilla stated the records for 1967 were not f amediately available because they had been retired to the basement for storage. She had copies of the purchase order numbe rs 164, 177. 304 and 338. She did not have available the purchase orders issued by Bergen to its vendors, but identified the suppliers from notes made on the B&R purchase orders. Hills identified the vendor and the valves it supplied by ites number as shown on the B&R purchase order. All diaphrage valves had been procured from the Crinnell Company. On purchase order 304. Hilla identified itees 276. 321 416. 418. 419 &?O. 421. 422 and 423 as having been procured f roe Metropoliten. ISS. Hilla stated that when Bergen had been requested by &&R to obtain certifications. she bad sched the various vendors to comply. She ebtained certificates free Cuyon and f ree Crinnett. but was unable to get certifications f rom the company identified se Aloyco or f rom Metropolitan. 156 Hilfe stated she did not have a copy nf the B&R valve spectiteation numbers 55 and 6l. She stated it was her understandir.g that all valves were to be new, that she had ordered valves with the understanding they were to be new valves and she further otsted that all valves delivered were new valves. Bergen, according to Hilla, did no teste on the valves because it has no facilities for doing any testing. She stated that only one valve in the order had to be replaced either because it was the wrong valve or because it had been dassged in transit. It was ites number 370 supplies by Guyen. Fhe also identified item 276 as valves that were reworked by Metropolitan to change the flenged ends to butt veld ends as ordered by Bergen. I 157 Hilla agreed to get all the purchase orders issued by Bergen to fill the B&R order together with the purchase order numbere, the names of the vendors and the identifi-cation of the valves they had supplied. An appointment was made for Tuesday. April 29 1969 for this purpose. 158. Af ter leaving Bergen. It was agreed among Jung. Eogram. Collins and Ryan that a visit then be made to Metropolitan located at 50 09 Second Street. Long Island City. New York. 159.

Inside the building, valves of various sises and in various stages of eseeably were lying about. There were several pieces of machinery, grinders. 'I lathee and se forth and a number of bins for smaller sised valves. ! 160. Two een met the vietters and identified theneelves se Bill Kane and Bob Kane. , principals of the Metropolitan Corporation. Bob Kane stated he was Secretary of the corporation and Bill Kane. he stated, is the President. 161. Bill Kane stated he recalled that valves were sold to Bergen "a couple of years age", but he would not be able to find the records without the purchase order numbe r s. Bill Kane was asked if the firm sold etsinless steel valves. He then showd a coopertment containing stainless steel valves in vertous sises. When asked if these were new valves, he replied that the firm buys new. surplus valves and resells thee. Wen asked if used valves wre sold, he stated that the valves are inspected, reconditioned if necessary, but no certificates are issued. Wen Kane wee sched to define surplus valves, he replied that he meant the some as the ques. tiener did, saying that " surplus is surplue." Bill Kane stated the vahves had been bought f ree various construction sites where they were surplus and he believed it wee poselble that he had bought valves f rom B&R. Consolidated Edloon and other con. struction sites. He stated that in many instances the surplus valves had been esposed to weather and needed painting. 162. Bob Kane stated that Metropolitan does not buy from manufacturers of valves. He stated that it purchases used and surplus, unused valves. If needed, the valves are reconditioqed. Bob Kane stated that the valves are hydrostatically tested for twice the pressure they are designed to hold. The only warranty given according to Bob rw. is that if the valve falle to meet the pressure stated, a replacement valve will be furnished. Bob Kane also stated that no certificates of quality as. eurance are leeued. 163. In appearance, the yard and shop of Metropolitan is. as described by Calla, a " junk shop." As stated previously, valves of vertous sises are piled about primarily separated according to body meterial, that is. brase, stainless steel, bronse or carbon steel. They are also separated as to eine and are either in bins, storage 1 compartments or out on the floor. Those observed appeared to be wathered and used. In many instances showing signs of surface rust. Bill Kane pointed out some 1 of these and described thee as new, surplus valves. Bob Kane challenged the visitors to distinguish between rebuilt or reconditioned valves and those designated as new. He pointed out that some of the rusted valves wre actually unused surplus and some i painted and in clean condition were actually reconditioned, used valves. ) 164 On April 29. 1969, in secordance with the appointment previously made with Hilla. Avers. Jung and Ryan ageln visited Bergen to obtain additional information concerning , procurosent of valves for DC.I. ' i 1 165. Hilla stated she had been unable to find all of the records pertaining to the B&R purchase orders and had only a copy of a purchase order number 26261 dated July 14 1967 tesued by Bergen to Metropoliten for sin 10". 300 pound check valves, butt veld. , eest and disc stellite.13% chroes trie, list price $1.096 each, discount 38120. ) Hilla erpleined the discount to 38% if the bill is peld within 20 days. She also , produced two invoices f rom Metropolitan to Bergent one, number M32060, dated July 28, i 1967 for one 10" Crana, serial 30 cast steel. butt veld end swing check valve. list 1
$1.096. discount 38/20. not $543.62: the other, number M32066, dated July 31. 1967 for two 10" Crane, serial 30, cast steel, butt weld end swing check valves, list !
$1.096 ($2.192) discount 38/20. not $1.087.23. Both these orders wre received I August 3. 1967.
166. Hilla also stated that Itee 399 on purchase order 172 for four 2" gate valves, socket wid ende group number Kl.D had been procured f ree Metropolitan. t I I
af o
= 27
- 167. Hilla stated that she believed the first inquiry about valves came from a Mr. E. J.
McCarthy of ER. on b y 25. 1967. (This date appears on purchase order 164). When page 3 of thle purchase order was shown to Hilla, she had no esplanetton for two dates thereon. Ny 24. 1967 and b y 26. 1967 which appear to be delivery dates which would indicate inquittee by ER prior to May 25. 1967. 163. Milla stated the first inquiries were by telephone to Cornelius Calandriello, iden. tified by her as the secretary of the Corporation (Bergen). Hilla stated she was given the order to fill and she telephoned various valve manufacturers. but found the delivery time ranged from four months to ten monthe. She stated she was then infereed that an eertler delivery date had to be met. She then ordered the valves through jobbers such as Cuyon. AAA Stainless and Ray Miller. Hilla stated that she f ound Metropoliten in the closelfled directory. Milla stated she did not know whether E4 had furnlehod the specifications to Bergen, but stated she had not seen them at any time. She stated that she obtained a copy of the quotation compiled by Guyon and detalle of the epocificatione f ree McCarthy of B&R. to stve to the vendere. She again stated that new esterial had been specified and as far as she was avere, new material had been ordered and delivered. 169. Hilla wee informed that Metropolitan of ficers had identitled the fire as a surplus ysed. She then stated that Metropolitan say have delivered new. surplus valves. but she was eure they were not used valves. She stated the prices paid were for new mate tal with the standard discount of 381 f or payment within 20 days. She ageln stated that certification had not been requested because none had been requested by BAR at the time they had placed the order with Bergen. Hilla stated she had first been requested to obtain certification some stee in October.1968 and had been successful in getting thee only free Ca4 yon and from Walworth, 170. Hille stated she had been unaware that the valvee were for use in a nuclear reactor. that the place of delivery 10yeter Creek) did not mean anything to her because she was not evere that a reactor was being built there. Meetina With CE personnel _ 171. On April 29. 1969 af ter leaving Bergen, Ryan went to ER at Oradell. New Jersey to get copies of the orlainel meterial certificatione supplied to B&R by ATAl'C0 and to ascertain whether ER had done strees analyses, se suggested in the letter f ree Huggine, CE. dated October to.1966. Avers and Jung. who had been at Bergen with Ryan, also returned to credell. Avers and Ryan traveled together. During l the trip Avers infereed Ryan that teeb was at Oradell but that Avete did not think they would see him. At ER, Jung was unable to find a conference roce avellable
- and suggested that he. Avere and Ryan cou?d use the office of Lati, in 14rt'e office et the time were Lari. Hugstne and leeb. Lart then located a conference room and Huggine.14eb and tari joined Avere. Jung and Ryan.
t 172, Huggins asked what CD had found regarding the valves. Ryan informed him that through Bergen CO had confirmed the procurement of valves free Metropolitan including some j for use in the Cere Spray System that Metropolitan had informed Jung. Colline, Zogram and Ryan that it dealt in surplus and reconditioned valves and did not give esterial certifications. Huggine was also informed that the only test on the valves
. performed by Metropolitan was a hydro test. Ryan also informed Huggins that Hille
- of Bergen had identified valves on purchase orders 177 and 304 as having been pro.
3 cured from Metropoliten. Huggine asked wherein ER had not set its specifications or the applicable codes. Both lari and Jung stated they believed ER had set the code requiremente and were not evere that the specifications had not been eet. Huggine
- stated he did not think the use of used valves to in violation of the codes.
7j 173. Jung consulted e copy of the ASTM Code and stated that it required only markings on i the valve bodies of east steel valves of the name of the manufecturer, the heat number and the pressure of the valve. He stated that stainlese steel valves require i a certilted record of cheeleal analysts. When Ryan asked about the B&R specification , requiremient for new material.

173. Muggine then informed Ryan that CE planned to run tests for cheelstry and possibly l~ ultrasente testing on all questionable valves, that is, those for wSich there were no esterial certifications. Muggine stated the valves would be torn down, that the vender representative would be called in to asetet in establishing the reliability of the valves. Muggine stated the vender representative would not be from Cuyon or tersen but would be free the original annufacturer of the valve. HuggineAvere then stated sub.
' he saw no problem with surplus valves if they had not been used before.
eequently told Ryan that he had tethod to Mussins af terward in t. ort's office. Avere stated he pointed out to Muggine that surplus, unused valves could be unacceptable if shop worn or if espeeed to heat from a fire. According to Avers. Huggine agreed
' j with these commente.
[ 176. latt wee queettoned about the procurement procedures in connection with OC.I. He stated that 98% of the procurement was done by the projects, the remainder by the i Purchasing Department. 14rt stated that the project people had selected manuf acturers l of valves such as Anchor. Walworth., Crane. Facific, and Valan. in some instances he stated the manufacturer require 4 BAR to deel with a supplier rather then directly through the manuf acturer, j 177. Larl stated that Sergen vee net sene 'ne suppliere selected by the project people. , Lart stated thle firm had been contacted by the people in purchasing. Lart was 1 j
- unewere of any reason for shortening up the delivery'ttee in the spring of 1967. )
Me sold there was no famediacy at the ette at that time. He stated that this may ' have been a policy of the purchasing people to espedite delivery of equipment j and material to the site by indicating a short delivery period. Lart stated he did , 3 not know who at B&R had initially communicated with Bergen. L. J. Persbacker and 3 E. J. McCarthy who were in the Purchasing Department in 1967, are no longer with , bLR.

~
A meeting van held on May 114, 1969, with representatives of Jersey Central, - l
' General Electric, Burns and Roe and MPR to discuss the status of the l
investigation of the Oynter Creek piping, valves and fittings. The meeting j j was in the nature of a progress report prior to submittal of a formal j' report in response to the letter from Dr. Morris to Jersey Central dated j April 29,1969 A list of attendees is attached. i ! At the ntart of the meeting, John Bernard stated that they were not asking l } for any approval action at this time, but invited comments that could be
- l included in the forthcoming report.
l
' John Omer (CE) structured the piping investigative program and has been
} responsible for all these activities. The investigation included study t
- of existing records on piping, valves and fittinga supp1 mented by onsite j inspection.
In cases where records were not found we understand that the l results of the inspection would be used to identify (with reasoneble
- confidence) the pedigree of the components in question. It became apparent
- to me that' GE had made serious efforts to perform a reasonably comprehensive i
i investigation. The results of the investigative program are not complete; however, they do appear promising with regard to the identification of the piping reviewed. Altnough much investigative work by GE has been done on { pipes and fittings, additional inspections may be necessary. i The valve problem requires more investigative work. The certification of I many valves may never be accomplished due to purchase sources, and the j lack of records. Indirect methods vill have to be employed to obtain j rensonable assurance regarding valve certification. GE van aware that j additional work would be necessnry. } .Two pointa weretrought out at the meeting by Compliance regarding the '

.the valves, the measured leak rate had been reduced to a value within that stated in Amendment 11, i.e. ,15/ day of the total allovable where the total proposed by GE ves 5%/ day.*
Interpointion within the current technical specification limits suggest 5%/ day of the allovable leakage rather than the 30% total number. If this is so, it vould appear to be the same value as we are permitting for Nine Mile Point; however, suitable documentation and analyses are required before any conclusion may be made. D4 R. L.

- We asked GE if it was considering any other action to reduce valve leakage at this time. Messrs. Barnard and Willett stated that they believe that with valve exercising, the leakace had been reduced significantly and therefore further action is not presently considered necessary. We vill need to show thnt the measured lenkage at any time was always less than the 0.05x allweble (totel), If the stated leakage was obtained after repeated valve actuations and the leakage could be above the proposed, than we have a problem. Even though the total allovable leakage through testable valves and penetrations io stated to be 0 3Lgo(20) in the specs, it was not inferred that such leakage should bypens the secondary building and filter systems. In my opinion, GE's inter-pretation that it meets the spec vin leakage through the steam valves cannot be accepted. . Hodifications may be necessary to assure that leakage through valves is less than 0.05 Leo (20), before power operation. Action after power operaY1on vould be difficult, if not nently impossible. The foregoing are my personal
, comments'on the Hein Steam Isolation Valves. We place heavy reliance on these , Evalves for low risk'to the hesith and safety of the general public. With the , 1m . advent of.many. BWR plants, prompt and direct DRL action is warranted.

. February 21, 1969 Robert Kirkman, Esq.
Division of Complianco, Region I United States Atomic Energy Commission 960 Broad Stroot, Room 806 Newark, Now Jersey
Dear Mr. Kirkman:
Refer to: (1) USAEC Docket 50-219; (2) NJPUC Docket 652-60. On Thursday, February 13, 1969, Mossrs. A. A. Colla and P. E. Kichler met Commissioners R. T. Dyrne and A. J. Grossi of the Public Utilitics Commission and W. Gural, Esq., Deputy Attorney General for the Department of Public Utilitics. Theso gentiomen are officers of PIPECO Stool Corporation, East Dickerson Doulevard, Dover, New Jersey. They stated an allegation which I now transmit to the AEC via your office for consideration and action in keeping with the public interest. I am doing thi'a in my capacity as Vice Chairman of the New Jersey Atomic Energy Council. The officials of PIPECO advised Mr. Gural their corporation refused to nupply pipo to Jersey Contral Power and Light Company for uno in the Oyster Crock Station Number One since it did not moet appropriato specifications. They further stated, they have Icarned another firm (not identified) supplied the piping which moct ASTM-A-312 F.M. standard. Mr. Colla and Mr. Kiebler opinioned the use of filler was objectionable and led to a re-duction in quality not allowable for a nuclear power station. I trust you will advisc New Jersey as to your actions and findings in this matter. Sincerely, 4

Dear Dave:

sys.t em. I un tort.tand that procurci.dnt problems have arisen based on obtaining sca:.1cas pipe as outlined in your specification. As mentioned in our .
- e. cr!:cria, welded pipe is acceptabic for this application. We under- , ,,
stand that you will perform stress analysis based on the use of wclded stainicas steci pipe and specify the necencary piping schedule.

JERSEY CENTRAL p0WER AND LIGIT COMPANY (0YSTER CREEK 1) DOCKET NO. 50-219 Trannmitted herewith for your information and appropriate action is the , report of the investigation of statements by Alan li. Caler, Radio News Director, Station WJLK, Asbury Park, New Jersey. Mr. Caler had first ! communicated his information to the lionorable William T. Cahill, Represent-i ative, Sixth Congressional District. New Jersey who in turn, passed it on to Mr. L. D. Low for verification. Interviews with Messrs. William Major and James Smith who were reportedly cognizant of the alleged piping problem at OC-1. did not develop any in-formation of safety significance or any information not previously known to CO through previous inspections or investigations. Regarding the niatter of the " transferred CE inspector", the one person identified, Charles Smith, is known by the writer as having been both con-scientious and competent while at OC-1 and to have been transferred to the , Millstone 1 project at a point when his area of assignment at OC-1 was essentially complete. One additional allegation, not treated in the re9 ort, was given by Mr. James Brown, Assistant Editor and Feature Writer Asbury Park Press, in a telecon to CO:I on July 31, 1969. This allegation related to a condition in the main condenser; specifically, the condenser tubes were said to have not been properly connected to the tube sheets. This matter was resolved to the natisfaction of CO in telecons between representatives of CO:1 and Messrs. Low and Engelken. ~~ This of fice has been informed by Mr. Low that subsequent to this investigatio - and to the discussions on the allegation relating to the main condenser, he had informed both Messrs. Cahill and Brown that our investigation into these matters failed to reveal anything of safety significance not previously known to CO. Further, that our concerns in these areas had been resolved by the Ifcensee. 19!9/aw.y/. .

t. July 30, 1969 , Jersey Central Power & Light Co. Nuclear Generating Station Lacey Township, N.J. SAFETX A~. source advises that an inst'ector who checked the nlant discovered defective piping and filed a report on this. Subsequently, he.was either transferred, or fired from his job. The following reports of defects in the plant were documented
.by' examination of files of news stories written during construction:
Nov. 11,1967 Nucleonjes Week magazine officials cha*ge that welding flaws were detected in 108 of the .137 fuel - rod control assemblies. Leonard Koke, resident manager for Ger:cral Electric, commented: "We don't th!nk it's a Ferious matter." }!inimiz:ng the problem, he declared "all of the cracks are expect ed to be fu]1y rround out by the middle of next week." (See clippjng). Nov. 21,1967 Raymond Dickeman, in charge of GE's turnkey pro-jects, declared: "The d elay will only amount to a few weeks instead of months. The trcuble is minimal, poses no hazard, won't cost much money and is renerally common in the industry." (S<re clipping) . Aus o 2)c e . 2. , , 9 6 7. Feb. 13,196$f A company spokesman said yesterday workmen can b oCi n fueling the nuclear reactor about Aug. 15 if repairs to faulty velds can be completed by June 1. The spokesman said yesterday General Elec ric Co., which is build;ng the ,lant, has ordered all joints at the base of the reactor vessel rewelded. When this is done, the welds will e clad in stainless steel as a precautionary mearure. (See clipping). May.10, 1968 The Jersey Cent ral Power and 1.ight Co. in continuing thastudy itr study to determine the caure of " leaks" which developed in piping at its nuclear generating station'be ng built at Oyster Creek in-Lacey Township. George Ritter, JCP&L vice president, blamed the leaks on some form of " stress corrosion," but said the cause wasn't known. (See clipping). ElBIT R
h. m o O J Completion of theplant is about two years behir.d schedule and much of the delay was caused by the reactor defects, despite GE claims that they were "m'nimal." Feb. 4,1968 A spokesman for GE attributes the delay primarily to W repair work. " Weld ing repair wcrk,now under way will t ake a b ut 1hree weeks." (This was esrentially what GE said usu in November 1967.). (See clipping). COSTS The Jersey Central Power & Light Co. is presently necking a 13% rate increase but deries that the increared costs of Oyster Creek plant are related. However, William G. Kuhns, president of General Public Utilities Corp.--which owns JCPtL--recently revealed that failure to have Oyster Creek in operation is costing company $60,000 a day to buy power from other utilities. l In ntory of Feb. 4,1968, a GE spokesman was quoted un saying thtt - GE nasumen full cost responsibility for plant. "We have agreed to design and construct a fully operable nuclear rower station for a fixed price." 4 This price van about $68 million. However this much money had apparently been exnended by the end of 1967 and there are now reports that the cont has exceeded $100 million. The state Board of l'ublic Utility Co missioners says it has no copy of the contract between GE and JCP&L, although a copy was shown ecnfidentially to the crmmissioners. PUC also says that the same arranenment was made-with the Atomic Energ Commission. This appears confirmed by following stories: Dec. 8,1965 Leo Goodman, representing RE AFL-CIO, chnrFed at a PUC hearing that contract be nr kept secret, barring deter-61 nation of whether elect ricity cost s will be competitive. Feb. 20,1965 The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board directed the cocpany provide "for confidential review" a copy of its construction cc.ntr et with General Electric. (See clippings) Neither GE nor JCP&L officials will provide figures on the cost of the plant. There are widespread rumors about thefts of materials from the plant; that material from the site and labor have been used in the construction of several private homes in the area. On May 9, 1969, Lacey Township Police Chief Patrick J. Geraghty told an Asbury Park Press reporter that in 1967 he and Lacey Township Commit teeman John C. Parker established K-C Constructors Inc. on the advice of North Jersey" labor workers and organizers." This company then got a subcontract from GE, Geraghty said.
.) -
According to another scurce, Chief Geraghty made statements at township meetings that he received gif ts worth thousands or dollars from contractors at the power plant because "thev were cood frienris." Gi rts the chief alloEH1y admt' t ed Betting incN..ed form plywood and framing fmm the dhite Construction Co. Sourco .ays chief also said ho"had permission to take all scrap steel lef t on job for John phrker, and this included 60 to 90-foot H beams, T beams, e,tec1 sheet piling, and piping. Thef t of materials plus ten strikes between 1 cb. 13,1965 and ! Jan. 24,1968 certainly added to the cost of the project. The strikes op rat ng engineers, boiler-
-involved electrical workers, carpenters makers, pipofitters, and irtnworkors. $tikos nlleCodly cost up to
$40,000 a day.
Thern should bn full public disclosure of the costs of the projnct, the lorses from thievery and from labor trouble. (GE has discontinued turnkey projects since this one, but denlos
!L la becau e of heavy loss at Oyster Crook).

7/30/69 - RE: JERSEY CENTRAL AND RYAN IYTERVIEWS Essence of a telephone conversation on 7/30/69,12:00 noon, between J. Carlson (CO:I) at Headquarters, and J. Ryan (Co:I investigator) calling from Asbury Park press in New Jersey. RYAN: These are the names of the five people with whom we had interviews this morning: Jim Brown - Assistant Editorial and Feature Writer John Ladvig - Reporter Imrry Cmvley - Reporter Den Less - Assistant Managing Editor Alan H. Galer - Radio News Director These men are all connected with the Asbury Park press. They again re-pested the infortsation given yesterday by Galer to Lov, to the effect that about a year ago an inspection was made at Oyster Creek by a GE inspector who had X rays taken and the pipes were found to be defective. CAESON: Did they talk about vbat motivated the visit? RYAN: Yes. They mentioned that a foreman, James Smith, member of Local 331 Steamfitters Union, Neptune, New Jersey had called for the X ray test of ther pipe. When the GE inspector is supposed to have submitted his b repon, he was transferred, fired, etc.; we don't kr.vv vhat happe.md.. v CAESON: Don't we know the name of the inspector 7 RYAN: No. 'Ihey gave me the names of Smith and a William Major, head of the Major Construction Company, 536 Skylark Drive, Toms River, New Jersey, telephone: 201-349-7591. Major was present when X rays were made. CAESON: In what capacity? RYAN : I don't know. He saw and heard the examiner state that the material was l inferior. l CARLEON: Do they know about the system?
\
l RYAN: They know nothing about the system or piping. Recently JCPL made appli-cation for an increase in rate, originally about a 2% average. Last veck it had become a 13$ increase. JCPL says this has nothing to do with I J
e 9 the Oyster Creek reactor but people here are making allegations of all kinds of arrangements have been made with regard to materials going to different people other than those authorized; kick backs, etc., all of Wich go into the cost of the reactor. They want us to look into it. EARL 80N: These five gentlemen got all the infor1mation from Smith and Majort RYAN: Not all five. Crowley is the one t o made the statement about the in-spection being made by the GE inspector. Galer identified Major as the individual do was present. Jim Smith, according to Omler, had been employed as a foreman at the site. He doesn't know
- ether / he is still there. He is the man t o was supposed to have requested that the examination be done.
CA E80N: When did Galer and Crowley get vind of thist RYAN: They have a dole series of things going back to November 1967, be-ginning with the Nucleonics Weekly, a story on stub tube problems. I also have here a 34 page suranary of various nove articles and background inforination . It adds up to about this:
- 1. November 1967, Nucieonics Week article on stub _ tube. problems (u/21)
- 2. December 12,1967 - an a:ticle quot.:g daymond Dikeman and appearing in the Asbury Press.
CAE80N: Did Asbury Press make any reference to the Nucleonics articlet RYAN: Let Me check. The November 21, 1967 quote relates to the Nucleonics Week story and quotes Dikeman and the JCPL people. Mr. E m wn gave me the following compilation and he put it together:
- 1. November 1967 Nucleonics Week article on stub tube problems
- 2. November 21, 1967 and December 12, 1967 articles from the Press quoting Dikeman re the delay being only a matter of a few weeks in-stead of months.
,p 3 February 13, 1968 - a quote to the effect that abo ut August 15 the reactor would be ready for refueling.
- h. May 10, 1968 - JCPL is continuing to study to determine the cause
'[ of leaks dich developed in the piping at the generating station at Oyster Creek. Ritter blames leaks on stress corrosion but the cause is not known. Also stated is that the completion of the plant is about two years behind schedule.
O
- _- a
e 9 f l 5 February 4,1968 - a spokesman for OE says that the delay is l i primarily due to repair work having to be made which vin take
/[, about three weeks
- 6. July 30, 1969 - quoting from the summary - a copy of the contract was confidentiany seen by the Commission.
. 7 December 8,1965 - Leo ooodman, AFL CIO charged that the contract was being kept secret.
- 8. February 20,1965-// ATELB confidentiany reviewed a copy of the construction contract with GE.
9 Also in sumnary are the tonoving rumors of thefts from plants i (sumanry is of articles published in the Asbury~ Park Press). CAEDON: Did M / they give you any more details on the defective piping? RYAN: No, other than the story in the article. CA E00N: Hov was everything left? RYAN: They asked we if we W.iid be c.miucting an is.ves*.14ativa. I said that under our groundrales this would est be done, vhat a number of ane-gations pointed out toward criminal matters and that these vould be a
- natter for the Bureau to handle, and not for us. It was again noentioned that these were rumore and that there was no concrete evidence of theft or that the police force passed on every security guard, or that of the $3 an hour spent for pay, the man got only $2 and $1 vent to some-one else; or that the Maifia was involved.
CAEDON: You indicated that under our groundrules we vould not be getting back to theaf RYAN: I told them that investigations and results of investigations are ex-cluded from the PDR. They wanted to know vbat the jurisdiction of the AEC was. I said that we had licensing authority for construction. They wanted to know if we didn't have standards to fonov. I said that these are written in the contract and how they are enforced I didn't know but thatwe(Compliance)didnotgetinvolvedinareaswehadnojurisdiction of. CAE80N: Were they happyt
/. e O , -b RYAN: n ey were glad to know that we were involved more in the matter than ', they originally thought. Chiefly, wbst is to be considered are: { 1. D e n te increase.
- 2. The unfounded rsseors of theft.
3 Allegations of kick boek.
- 4. Allegations of defective material.
CAESON: What are the main areas of concern, for exasrple, this Ikaith and Majorf RYAN: How the defective pipe got in and if it is, t y vos it not repisced. Boarone was lax in supervision. CAESON: Did the d,iscussion have any extra emphasis on this or on all alle-gations equally? RIAN: The emphasis we on Chief Carrity's (spelling) actions and his present mode of living (luxurious). Where do I go from heref c.WK f Fa vill get to that 1 ster. Did they speak at all about the article ! '6 s u s going to 5 publishadt RYAN: No. We did not discuss est they were goirig to publish. I made it clear to them that I had no official authority to make any statements in behalf of the Commission or anyone else and we mutually agreed not to publish any statements made to one another. I said that we have a problem of determintrw who has jurisdiction over dat and that if I could establish anything that related to the reactor and that was within our " charter", that we would look into it. '1 hey agreed that this was a reasonable approach. CAE805: Did you indicate a possible interest of getting with Daith or Majorf RYAX: I said that this would be detemined by Headquarters and that I had been sent down only to interview. CAEDON: You might want to pull all of this together for a trip report but not in final form yet. conversation enied.
. T h h July 31,1969 Telephone conversation with Carlson and Ryan, CO:I. Present: Iow, IDn6elken, O'Beilly, and Clara Miles RCarlson - I'll back up to Ryan's interview yesterday with the Asbury Park peopic. I have reviewed same additional inforTation that Ryan had fmn that interview. This infomation consists of a sumary cheet of sane items that included the allegat$cns rep;ard-ing defective piping plus a corrpilation of articles relating to the plant that have been published in their own paper. All this information comes under the heading of SAFE 7Y. She second is en-titled COSTS-costs for building the plant,-starting off with reference to the 15% increase. This sunnar.' sheet appanntly was pulled to6 ether by the press people specifically to present to . July 30, 1969 Attached thereto are a number of articles from their paper (the coes they make reference to).
For the most part the section talking about safety just has one or two sentences like - htr source advised that an insector checked the pinnt, discovered defective pipe, and filed a report. Sub-
- qu<d ' he was either transferred or fired frcrn his #ss job.
~
l l 1.au bem on, under the safety section, there are brief items. Uhese articles for the most part speak to the stub tube pmblem.
'lhe first cne references an article of November 11,1967, fmn the Nuclecnics magazine - we don't think it a serious m tter.
, Another they got from Dic) cran (spelling) - delay will only annunt to a few weeks instead of renths. Another article, Pcbmary 13, ifotifex 1968 re fuel. May 10, 1968 article which says JCPL con-tinuing to atta$y to determine . . . . Ritter blamed leaks on stress corrosion. Plant about two years behini schedule. krT, Febmary 4,1968, article - spokesan for GE contributes delay

He rede reference to tic fact that this came from 'Ibbeco. lie made wonis to the effect that pmviously be ind worked in a lot of conventional plants aM they always used seamless piping and this was such an p icportant phnt. Since it was such an important plant should it l not also be seamless pipe. lie went on to nlate a specific prob-I L lem experienced by the welders-still talking about seamless pipe-- when you have miled aM welded pipe it ccznes out scrneWhat egg simped and welding this together in the field you mn into prob-l, lems of highs and lows.

.n-they experienced did not go undetected. Shis was all X-rayed and all detected but that it was a real prt>blem. When asked if .
he had any knowledge of this specific information, the case of the forunn calling a UE inspector in . . . . and then concluding that it was inferior pipe and the inspector was fired, he said be had no specific knowledge of anything in the reactor building but did recall a case where a litrns and Boe inspector by the name f kid tiike scmething or other (he could not remenber his last name) wtn left but he does not know why he Icft or any circumstances surrounding it. He knows of no other inspector wN was let go for any reason. 'nnt is the basically the gin of our interview with Major. James Snith - James fhith was employed at the site also on and off fzxxn Decent >er 1966 to June 1968. Initially for a couple of months was a welder for Doyle . . . . and back in thrch of 1968 first as a steam fitter and then as a foreman until Decerrber 1967. At that time all the welders in the enploy of Doyle ware let go. He could g not give any good reason other than they were told they were going-to be let go. Ib came '.e ak in again in January of 1968 and workec
*<1th Honeywell on instrunxmtation again as a foreman until June 1968 when he left. During this time as a foreman he worked on the emegency condenser system. He, without prrnpting frczn us,at i the start of 1)u our interview started talking about the 15% rate l Increase sought by JC. Had questions about when this plant would get on line and implied that cost of building had scrne tio-in with rate increase. When we questioned him about the specific problem he said the cr?y thing that he was aware of was again the km stub tube problem and the situaticn with the condenser piping. When asked if he had any reumberance of a situation involving a forcrnn arx1 a OE inspector looking at a section of pipe and then being fired, he said no as far as the reactor side of the plant. He said there was one GE guy win left--Charlie Snith (we talked about this yestertiay). When asked about any
,g 4
e 9 specific situation involving Charlie Snith he could not Iveall it. Men asked about leaking pipe he said be did not see how any of that could be leakin6, that it was all X-rayed and repairod. !!e was there during 11ydro testing ani said he was involved in this and the only leak was connected with the stub tube pmblem. When presoed further for any defective pipine, any Immors, etc., he said one I instance of a saddle tee 8" x 10 or 12" , one where Der weld crap and so on was on the indieinside where they had not cleaned it out in the shop. lie said it was cleaned out in the field but it was a hell of a job. lie had one interesting thin 6-he said just out of curiousity he had one of the radio 6raptwrs shoot some longitudinal seams. lie and Charlie Snith looked at it and it was all right. Ile put a 99% confidence on that. 7his goes back to December 1967. lie played the part of a disgruntled worknun. lie said the articles were unfair when talking about the stub tube problems-the articles said this work was done by steam fitters viFit wart W.lermakers. ("3 was a steam fitter.) lie iniicatco thic *m not thz en1.y z: i reference made to that. 7 hit basically is the essence of our interview with Smith. Low - iow then said a6ain that the thing that bothers him is that we had told Calcr that we wanted to talk with these two guys and , wanted him to make arrangements. E Carlson - The situation as far as lining them up is as I described it. It was a breakdown in my ccxmunicating with A1. i At this point O'Reilly gave Carlson the gist of a teleplene call he ind just received frcra Kirknnn. Kirkman had received a call from Brown (Anbury Park press) with additional infennation. Brown gave Kirkman the name of Charles Smith, identified as a welder. Said the original X-ray c:mpany at the site was let go and then they l L i . *, .

_c_ . brought in another. Ghis second cocpany has a reputation for X-rays disappearing. lie identified a probim area. The problem area was the condenser. 40,000 tubes in the main dx condenser ani they have not been been prcperly tied in and also buckling and contaminated water. Carlson - One of these guys did work breerly in the rain condenser. , I The Euy that worked over there was Major. He started on that side of the house as a steam fitter back in June, July 1966. Worked first for Allsteel and then Worthington. l O'R - Infomaticn on sabannt main condenser was obtained from a man named Crowley. Brown gave three other names - Gibson, fran Incal 331; tenlane; David anith, foreman on the condenser job. Brown just got this infonnktion today. Ile also brought up Major. lie has more dope cn the electrical penetration. At this point Carlscn and Ityan were told to Call Kirkman and then stay at the phone until we called them back. 7blephone at the booth - Code PC1 892-95?0 1 9

Keppler, Senior Reactor Inspection Specialist, Reactor inspection and Enforcement ilranch, Division of Compliance, ficadquarters ,t A LLOY tulle AND PIPE CORPORATION, HOUSTON, TEXAS Concerning the subject and our telephone conversation yesterday, this will confirm that my notes on and recollections of Mr. W. O. Strong's statements reflect the following:
'There were six or seven certified welders employed by Alloy Tube and Pipe Corporation during the time that d e Oyster Creek pipe was heir.g fabricated. *lhese welders were not formally certified - diere was no documentation of their certification - but they all had passed exami-nations by experienced wolders.
- Die two certified welders who Strong believed had donc most of the wel ding on the pipe in question were P. CeMa and M. Sandlin. Strong stated that all of the welding had been tione with the automatic welding machines, and the fact that they were certified weliters was academic. Strong indicated to me that certification of welders was important only in the case of welding being donc manually.
- p.i.I n - i. , gt.e.1 a reference to the requirement for a certificatio -
of welt. trs .vho une automatic welding machines in paragraph Q-21('-) af , Section IX of the ASMB D&PV Code which states:
". . . Alternatively, each welding oper.2 tor who welds on vessels constructed under the rules of this Code shall bc l examined as follows for each welding procedure under l which he does welding with machine welding equipment in i which both the rate of travel and the position of the welding i head with respect to the work are controlled mechanically, except for minor adjustments for such factors as plate unevenness, out-of-roundness and lead-angle."

\ wasmuoton. u c raw, "S, I JUN 2 81953 NOTE T011.1,. PRICE OYSTER CRT.EK Ar. agreed with you and Dr. Beck, I called .lohn Barnard (I also talked to Jim Graham) on Wednesday night, June 25, to describe our current thinking with respect to requirements we believe should be fulfilled at Oyster Creek before the plant is brought to power operation. I pointed out that our position had not changed appreciably since we had talked to Jersey Central and C.E. some 3-1/2 weeks ago, but that we did not yet have' a final.
>fficial position. The purpose of my call was to notify the companies as soon as possible of progress in development of the Comission posf tion.
I said that for suspect pipe (atapco) fittings and valves in critical wystems, we were not satisf[ed with the amount of radio-graphy that had been donc and still feel that that work defined by the nucicar code cases should be done. Within the ma".c: . alant **masur: t:oundary, up co the second isolation c ' ra tot r. :4. :ur tii:^*ng, is that 100% radiography of accessibic suds is desired for all pipe, fittings and valves larger than a minimum size in all critical systems. I said we could spell this out in some detail immediately. For systems outside the recctor coolant pressure boundary, vc would require additional work, but could not yet define this in detail. 1 indicated we thought we could define our information requircrents on these systems by the close of business on Friday (6/27) and that we would suggest a meeting the week of 6/30 to receive detailed and complete information from C.E. if C.E. were ready. Based on this information and reporta from the Division of Compliance on.their currynt_1,,,n,spection activities, we would develop our final requirements. John expressed the opinion that C.E. would do no further work unless the company were sure of the scope necessary to satisfy the Commission ! finally, and perhaps they would elect to try to convince the bM7!/f 6 -8304070209 691i04

*n # June 19, 1969 The Files NOTIFICATION OF JCAE CONCERNING DEViLOPMENTS IN OYSTER CREEK PIPING PROILIN During a discussion this morning with Mr. Harold L. Price and his princi-pal staff on th- 'avelopmente in the Oyster Creek piping problem, Mr. Low reminded Mr. Pr a that we had not updated the JCAE staff on this matter for quite some tume. Mr. Price at first expressed surprise that we had failed to do so but was reminded that Lov and I on at least two or three occasions during the past couple of months had urged him to inform the JCAE and that for one reason or another, he had declined to do so. Mr.
Price then called Captain Bauser and gave him a capsule version of the current status of the problem. In brief the following is the substance of Mr. Price's conversation with Deuser. Our investigation of the piping allegations revealed that GE hnd not applied certain requirements (e.g., radiography and dye penetrant testing) to certain pipes and valves in critical systems of the Oyster Creek reactor. As a result of our in-vestigation, OE had done a considerable amount of radiography and testing but that in all probability we would be requiring th t., to do more. He emphasized that a final decision on this
. t.cr had not been made an yet and that.we were still revie.t. _
.14 Amendment 53 which describco the extent of the GE cffort to establish the quality of their piping. Mr. Price also pointed out that thin could develop into a pretty big problem and that the JCAE might very well be hearing from GE on this matter in the near future since Jersey Central vill be ready to begin higher power operation this coming voekend (June 22, 1969).

t ls- e o - June n,1969 Harold L. Price, Director of Regulation CODES AND ITfANDARDS PR01EJMS AT '11[R JERSEY CENTRAL POWER AND LIGIff COMPANY , REACTORFACILITY(ANDOFHERREACTORFACILITIES) It is apparent that a major confrontation is developing between the General Electric Company (GE) and the AEC (Regulatory) on certain problems that This confrontation, accoding to a CE exist at the Oy(ster Creek facility.Mr. John Barnard) is necessitated by the costs and de representative Wich would result from repairs and investigations that the Regulatory staff has suggested to OE and Wieb we consider necessary to prove the quality of uncertified piping, fittings and valves alnady installed in the Oyster Creek reector. According to Barnard, the major problem relates to the ap- ! plication of the AEC suggestions to other GE plants already in advanced stages of construction. l The major issue, the only one discussed in this memorandum, is the question l of the applicability of Nuclear Code Cases to the Code for Pressure Piping (D 31.1). You will recan that the application of Nuclear Code Case re- , quirements to critical valves was one of the essential ingredients of the certification criteria for suspect piping and valves in the Oyster Creek plant Wich were developed by Compliance with assistance from the Divisions of Reactor Licensing and Reactor Standards. As you know, before being in-formally presented to OE and Jeraer Ce'stnt.. then <t71terta were reviewed . by Hilt Shev's staff and incorporate tLair suggestions. Regulatory's i position is that an applicant do states that be vin conforia to the Code ! for Pressure Piping must meet the requirements of the Nuclear Code Cases applicable to this Code. These requirements, dich are ven known to i nuclear designers, ara considered to be minimal standards for assuring ac-ceptable quality of piping in nuclear systems. General Electric contends that Nuclear Code Cases to the Code for Pressure Piping are not legal re-quirements and, therefore, are not mandatory. They state that they in-formally poned a significant ntamber of Code committee members and that these members agree with their contention. It is Compliance's position that the failure of applicants to conduet the tests and examinations specified in the Nuclear Code Cases would result in
. a significant loss of assurance that valves in important piping systems had been fabricated to acceptable st=Mawds of quality. If acceptable quality were not achieved in these valves, the pressure of these piping systems might be compared to a chain made from a conection of both strong
; and weak links. In addition to resulting in a significant deeresse in plant quality, failure to invoke the Code Cares would significantly impair

CONNECTICUP LIGiff AND POWER COMPANY (MILIM0_NE,),,V,ALVE PROBLIMS During a visual inspection of the recirculation system by a Compliance inspector, a machined flange of a 28-inch valve bonnet was observed to have surfsee defects. Liquid penetrant tests of the observed areas, conducted at the request of Compliance, disclosed macroebrinkage, in-clusions and numerous linear indications. 'Ihe indications extended across the flange thickness and at some locations, across the flange face for measund distanaes up to one ineh. These indications are rejectable according to recognised dye penetrant acceptance standards (ADME Eection III, N-627 3 or ASA B 31.1.0, Code Case N-10). Radiog-rephy was perfonned on the valve but because of poor technique, the defects were not detected. We do not consider that the GE radiography requirsments were met (ASME Section III, 3-624). The vain in question is one of two similar valves located below the reactor core. Catastrophic failure would result in the maxistse credible accident. Upon identification of the problem by Compliance on the first valve, OE Mfused to conduct dye penetrant testing 'of the other recirculation valve. They stated that they met Code re-gettementu. While the CK purebase requirements specified radiography, no support-ing test procedures such as dye penetrant testing were imposed. Imposition of the ABA Piping Code, Nuclear Code Case N-10, would have clearly identified and resolved the obsernd condition prior to de-livery or installation. It must be noted that the only requirement for radiography and dye penetrant testing of this vital component is con-tained in the Nuclear Code Cases. No other requirement exists unless the purchaser invokes it. References Special Compliance Report dated 6/3/69 B.

I 2- l l REASON FOR INVESTICATION j Dn July 29, 1969 the Honorable William T. Cahill, Representative Sixth Congressional District, New Jersey informed the Director Division of Compliance, by telephone that he had received a telephone call from representatives of the Asbury Park Press. Asbury Park, New Jersey indicating they had definite evidence that a serious con-dition in the nature of leaking pipes existed at Oyster Creek Unit ft (DC 1), that increased construction costs had been covered up and that racketeering was pre-valent. In a telephone conversation the same date with Alan H. Caler, Radio News Director for Radio station WJLK, Asbury Park (Cahill's informant), Low was in-formed that the questioned piping at the site had been examined by General Electria Company (CE) inspector who had confirmed that it was of inferior quality and then he was transferred. Low directed 00:1 to conduct an investigatinn into the information presented by Cater, concentrating primarily on allegations with safety significance.
$UMMARY OF FACTS The only information developed relating to allegations with any safety significance was that the two witnesses, killiam Major and James Smith, Identified as being the j principal sources of the allegations, disclosed that they hed first hand knowledge only of the installation of rolled and welded stainless steel pipe in the emergency i condenser system which, in their opinion, was less satisfactory than seamless !
l stainless steel pipe. Both witnesses confirmed that all welds had been radiographed and that all defects had been cut out and revelded satisfsetority. The condition l of the piping in the emergency condenser system is a matter of which the Reguls-tory had prior cognisance (ATAFOO pipe case) and has seen to a satisfactory
- rasolution.
With regard to the matter of a CE inspector finding that certain piping at the facility was of infartor quality and then being transferred or fired (presumably for disclosure of this observation), it was determined tlist the identified source 5 of this information (James Smith) was avere of the transfer of a CE welding in-spector (Charles Smith) to a new job, but no specific reason was given for the ' transfer, I l The allegations relating to matters other than those with any safety significance were not pursued as being outside the jurisdiction of the Regulatory.

6 9 3 DETAlt.S Introduction
- 1. On July 29, 1969 L. D. lew, Director, Division of Corellence, was informed in a telephone conversation with Honorable William T. Cahllt. Representative of the sixth Congressional District, New Jersey, that one of the leading newspapers in the state of New Jersey had telephoned to him that they had definite evidence that a really serious condition in the nature of leaking pipes existed at the OC-1 plant being constructed in lacey Township, New Jersey. According to Cahill they seemed to be fire in their statements that they could support this information.
The newspaper was ready to publish a story which Cahill thought they should check before pubtlehing. Cahill also indicated some other matters outside the juri sd ic t ion cf this agency such as covering up costs and rocketeering. Cahill also stated the licensee, JCpl., had recently announced it was going to request an increase in rates. Cahill identified the newspaper representative as an individual named Caler and " that he would have Caler call lew.
- 2. Mr. low reported this telephone call to the l>irector of Regulat ion who requested that Caler be interviewed.
- 3. Cater telephoned to Low en July 29, 1969 and identified himself as the Radio News Director for Radio Station WJLg, which is owned by the Asbury park press. Caler informed law that about a year ago a foreman asked for inspection of pipes, that the pipes were of inferior quality, that the inspector confirmed that they were of inferior quality and then was subsequently transferred. Caler asked if the subject pipes were replaced and why they were there in the first place. Caler stated in response to questioning by few that the inspector he was talking about was employed by CE. purther, that he had the names of two men who could confit,s this story.
Low informed Caler he would have a representative of this agency comunicate with Caler to arrange for an interview. 4 On the evening of July 29, 1965, Alvin F. Ryan, Inve stigation Specialist. C0:1 at the request of the Director, Division of Comptince communicated by t elephone with Caler and arrensed to interview Caler at the o ce of the Asbury park press on July 30, 1969. Caler ageln repeated essentiall> the telephone conversation he had had earlier with 1.ow. Bachtround Informat ion
- 5. In February 1969 allegations were made that certain piping, fittings and valves in-stalled at CC 1 were in violation of the specifications and codes of the American Society for Testing Materials, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and/or the architect-engineer. De results of the Co investigation into these allegations are documented in the C0 Investigation Report dated June 9,1969. Of particular interest to this current case are the findings regarding the earlier allegations relating to piping. Specifically that certain piping installed in the facility did -
not in fact conform to the required standards of ASTM A 312 (seamless or welded without filter metal) or ASTM A-376 (seamless), the choice of materials specified by the A.E. Included in the subject piping was that employed in the emergency con-denser system. As a result of this finding, the licensee and his contractors were required to demonstrate to the satisf action of the Regulatory the serviceability of the subject equipment prior to the issuance of the full power operating license. This was accomplished and is well documented in this docket file. T
- 6. INring the field hydrestetic test run on the reactor pressure vessel, conducted in September,1967, a lesh was detected emanating from one of the control rod drive penetrations. Subsequent investigation revealed the source to be a faulty field weld joining the stub tube to the subject control sud drive housing. Additionally, cracks were detected in the surfaces of most stub tubes. These problems were also the subject of extensive review by the Regulatory. Corrective measures taken in-cluded cladding all the stub tubes and replacement of the stub tube to housing field welds. Dese matters are also well documented in this docket file, an
i I t a 4 Interviews 1 Alan N. Cater , 7.. On July 30, 1969 Caler was interviewed by Ryan at the office of the Asbury Park Press, Mattison Avenue, Asbury Park, New Jersey. Also present at the interview were the following employees of Asbury Park Press: Daniel Lass. Assistant Managing
. gdttor, James Brown, Assistant Editor and Feature Writer John Ladwig. Reporter -
and 1,avrence Crowley, Reporter.
~ B. Caler identified himself to Ryan as the Radio News Director of station WJLK. owned and operated by tt.a Asbury Park Press. Caler stated that Brown was doing a series of articles on the reactor at Oyster Creek. Caler then requested Brown to cover the background of the newspaper's interest in this problem. Brown presented a document dated July 30, 1969 whict, he identified as a sumary he had prepared to -
which were attached copies of news articles previously published by the Asbury Park Press in the period from February 20.19f,5 to July 18. 1969. A copy of this l sumary and the accompanying news articles is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The suussary and the supporting documents cite as sources for the information published. Nucleonics Week and officials of CE and JCFL. The sumary states that JCPL is j presently seeking a 13% rate increase but denies that the increased costs of OC-1 are related to the increase. De sununary also reports widespread rumors of thef ts 1 of material from the plant, that a company organteed by the Lacey Township Pcitee Chief obtained a subcontract from CE, that the Police Chief had made statements that he had received gifts worth thousande of -dollars from contractors at the plant, including scrap materials, and that the theft of asterials and strikes in the period between February 1965 and January,1968 had added to the cost of the 2 project. Brown, at Caler's request, stated that an inspector who had checked the plant discovered defective piping. He reported it as defective and subsequently was either transferred or fired from his job. Neither Galer nor Brown could identify the inspector. They stated their information came f rom two individus1s. one, William Major who resides at 536 skylark Drive, Toms River. New Jersey. telephone number 201-349 7591. According tn Brown and Laler, Major was present when the piping was inspected by a ray and he reportedly heard the examiner state the material was inferior. The other man was identified as James Smith, a foreman on ' the job identified as a seaber of the stesmf ttters union in Neptune. New Jersey (subsequently identified by Ryan as the Plumbers and Pipefitters tinion of America l 14 cal 331 located at 122 Drumond Avenue, Neptune New Jersey). According to I Cater and Brown. Smith was reportedly the foreman who had requested inspection of the piping and the disclosure of the results indicating inferior piping had been installed probably resulted in the transfer or dismissal of the inspector.
- 9. Lass, Brown and Caler had unverified undocumented information concerning Police i O ter Patrick J. Ceraghty of Lacey Township. New Jersey. They stated they had obtained this information from Leslie Byrd, former business executive for the Carpenters Union local at Perth Amboy, New Jersey. This information included the
- following statements
- "Ceraghty got a secretarial job at the plant for a woman.
Ne got a painting job at the plant for a man. Security personnel could not be employed unless approved by Ceragh*y." According to Lass. Brown and Caler. Cersghty is reportedly a member of Local 325 of the operating Engineers Ltnion. He is described as a friend of Pete Weber, Vice President of the Operating Engineern Union who, according to Caler, w:s recently convicted of extortion. Caler, Crowley. Brown and Lass stated that Ceraghty is an associate of known Mafia figures including John DeCillo, John Ives and Carlo Zinate. Geraghty reportedly made a trip to Bermuda with martes Brudner. Identified by Caler as the Nafie boss of Nassau,
- 3. W. 1. Ceraghty was supposed to be with a person named Celso and another named Bombacht. Calor and his associates had no specific detsits ava!!abic other than Celso is the individual whose property in Jackson 1ownship, New Jersey, was dug up recently by the FBI in a search for the bodies of surdered persons.
- 10. According to Brown, John Parker, coussitteeman in Lacey Teenship, is a pr.rtner with ,
Ceraghty la the K.C Constructors Inc. Brown stated he had heard, but only as a i tvmor, that K.C Constructors Inc. was a front for Pete Weber. In 1967, according l
- to Brown, Parker's home was raided by the New Jersey State Felice. At thtt $ 1= l Carlo !! nata was present at Parker's home. Brown stated that there were allega.
tions that tinate had been arrested for conducting a bookmaking operation at the OC4 alte.
\
f 5-lig According to Brown, concrete supplied to the site was delivered with a levy of ' $1.00 to $2.00 per cubic yard, making for a total kickback of $100,000. grown acknowledged that all of the information he had was based on rumor and hearsay. Re stated that this inferisation had been obtained from vertous law enforcement sources. Brown declined to identify these sources specifically and further j ' acknowledged that he could not verify that his informants had first hand knowledge of the f acts.
- 12. 14ss stated that he was concerned that JcpL is planning to f!!e an application for sa increase la rates. According to Lass, the initial announcement by JCpL stated the increase would be about n. However, within the last few days Lass stated be leersed the increase would be in. '
13, 1. ass stated that in the course of constructing the reactor in t.acey Township there i have been ten strikes of various duration, the settlement of which undoubtedly 4 intressed the cost of the plant. the alleged thef ts of material from the site and the alleged kickbacks have, according to Lass, added to the cost and it is his ' epintos that the application for an increase in rates was necessitated by the increased cost of construction of the reactor.
- 16. Cater and his associates were interested in the responsibility AEC had in connection 4 with the construction of the reactor. Ryan informed them that AEC is the agency which, on the basis of an application submitted and satisfactority reviewed, would authorise construction of the reactor to be constructed in accordance with AEC regulations and with applicable codes and specifications. they were also informed that AEC toepectors were assigned to check on conformance of the construction to these requirements. Brown and Lass were interested in any enforcement exercised
_by this esency with construction standards particularly with regard to the piping. ' Ryan explained that the standards of ASME and ASTM were usually prescribed by the architect engineer as the standards to be followed but that the enforcement au erarcised by these two ormanfe=H aa= === w knavn,. I < 15. Caler and Lass wanted to know what action would be taken in connection with the information provided at the interview. It was explained to them that much of the information given concerned matters outside the jurisdiction of this agency and were probably within the jurisdiction of the local or state police or possibly of the F31. they were informed that the results of the interview would be reported to C0:RQ before further action would be taken. William Mejor
- 16. On July 31, 1969 William Major was interviewed at his home 536 skylark Drive,
- Tome River, New Jersey. He is the f ather of William Major who is head of the i Major Construction Co. identified as the individust who had information concern-
} ink inferior piping installed at OC-1. On July 30, 1969 when a telephone es11 was made by Ryan to strange en appointment with William Major, he learned that i there were two individuals by the same name, the head of the Major Construction Ceepany, a contracting firu, engaged in excavating work for residentist butidings la the Toms River area and William Major, his f ather. who is a boilermaker by
- trade and who had been employed in the construction of OC-1. Villiam Major, head et Major Construction Company was not interviewed because he had not been employed at CC-1 at any time and any information he might have would be heersey.
- 17. On Jely 31, 1969 v1111am Major informed Ryan and R. T. Carlson, Sr. Reactor Inspector, C0:1 that he had been employed at DC-1 from June 1966 to November 1968. From June, 1966 to September 1966 he had been employed by All Steel, assembling the main condensors, i.e. putting the shells together and welding them. From September 1966 to June 1967 he worked as a betternaker for the Worthington Pump Corporation, still assembling the condensors. In June 1967 he started with Alatrall Doyle in the reactor bo11 ding repairing defective welds that had been found by z ray. He stated ha had worked on electrical and piping penetrations, including those for the emer.
gency condenser system. He stated that the welding teams went as far as the first joint of the reacter contairment. Mojor stated that the steauf ttters took this ever from them. Major stated that he worked only on carbon steel piping not on stataleet steel piping. Be stated that be had found f aminations in welds that
' had been done. Be stated be had to repair the welds by cutting back the laminations
., w ,
i, 1 6 and then dolas a gooJ weld. Ne stated he also found tvidence of chill rings in 4 the welds that had been done at the f actory. Major stated he would be given the l radiographic or m.rsy films showing the defects and he would then make the required repairs. 1
- 18. Major stated that the radiography inspectors were very strict. He stated that the redlegraphy (11es would also be inspected by CE representatives.
I 19. Major stated that he esv stataless steel piping insts11ed He stated in thethe that from emergency markings condenser on the system that been pipes it had was rolled and by fut31shed welded pipe. Major stated that he believed seamless Tubeco. statalese steel pipe should have been used. Me stated that two pieces of rolled j
' and welded pipe sever butt properly for a good fitup and it is necessary to build op er grind down te set a good weld.
$ 20. When he was questioned about the reported incident of the transfer of an inspector Major said that there was an inspector of welding, a polish fellow named Mike (dose last name he did not recall) who was employed by turns & Roe, and who was let 30 la the latter part of 1967 or early 1968. Major stated that he did not know why Mike was let go and he did not know of any other f ospector who was let 4 30
- 21. N jor stated that all throu5h the job there were couemente by fitters that the pipe was bad, that they could not do a good job of joining the pipe. Major stated
' that the men would complain to Diarles $atth. a CE supervisor. Smith explained to mjor that he could do nothing about it. 4 4 22, Majar stated that Alstrell-Doyle finished up its work in July or August 1968 and he thes went with J. A. Jones as a bottermaker entti November.1968 when he left the site. We stated la the period from August to November.1968 he worked on the i reacter pressure vessel stub tubes doing cladding and welding the control rod drive houstage to the stub tubes e en the forwer were reinstated. I 1
- 23. Major was asked whether any information reflecting on the quality of construction
' at DC.1 had appeared in toest newspapers and whether he, because of his employ. mest at the ette, may have been interviewe# by newspaper people. Major stated that he recalled seeing some news articles in local newspapers but these were reisted primertly to explanation for the delay in completing the project. Major stated that he had not been interviewed by any newspaper representatives at any time. When he was asked if his son may have had some information concerning the site, Major stated that his son, William Major, had never been ectoyed at the site and he did act know how he could obtsta any information other then that dich the older V1111aa Major may have discussed. !
