Dear Mr. Ilunter:
This letter is the final report submitted pursuant to 10CFR50.55(o) con-cernina compromised Level II Welding Inspector Examinations. This matter was initially reported by Kansas Gas and Electric Company on July 12, 1982 and interim status reports were provided in the References.
The concern, as documented in Reference 1), was that a copy of the Level II Wolding Inspector Examination was found in the field. Thorofore, the possibility existed that any inspector who had taken this examination as part of his qualifications could have had access to the test questions prior to the examination.
Corrective action as described in Roforences 1) and 2) was immediately initiated to provido bottor security for examination material and to datormine whether or not the qualifications of any inspector who had taken the compromised examination woro now in question. A rotost was administered to the inspectors who had taken the compromised examination as part of their 0400140020 040006 y

,ro Mr. D.R. Hunter KMLNRC 84-134 August 6, 1984 qualification process. Any inspector failing to pass or take this ratest was identified and the welds accepted by these individuals were considered
" suspect" until a sampling of welds could be reinspected. As stated in Reference 2), remedial actions were completed for the inspectors remaining on the project who failed the retest.
Based upon the reinspections, all but one inspector were removed from the
" suspect" list. The rejection rate for the one individual was considered excessive and therefore reinspection of welds accepted by him will continue.
In order to facilitate this reinspection process a Generic Resolution has been issued. By this means, document review personnel have been notified to add this inspector's previous work to their review process. Any welds identified as being accepted by thiu individual will be flagged for reinspection.
Please contact me or Mr. Otto Maynard of my staff if you have any questions concerning this subject.
Yours very truly,
