AFFIDAVIT OF CHARLES W. DICK I, Charles W. Dick, being first duly sworn, do hereby depose and say:

1. I'am employed by Bechtel Power Corporation. My business address is_ Fifty Beale Street, San Francisco, California 94105. Bechtel Power Corporation (BPC) is an engineer-constructor engaged in the design and construction of nuclear power plants, and other types of thermal power plants for production of electric power.
2. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology, and a Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford. University. I am.a registered professional engineer in.the' States of California (Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear,,

New York (Electrical) and Pennsylvania (Electrical).

3. I have been employed by Bechtel Power Corporation and its related entities for more than 19 years, joining Bechtel in 1965 as an assistant project engineer. I have held increasingly responsible technical and managerial C410050648 841002 i PDR ADOCK 05000454 9 PDR

I am presently the Independent Design Review Programs Manager and previously was the Byron IDR Project Manager.

4. BPC has been directly involved as either the reviewer or the reviewee in some 14 independent design re-views, as listed in the Program Plan. Also, there is related experience in most of the 112 nuclear units with which BPC has been involved. The design review experience covers detailed design engineering, design process evaluations, quality assurance, and FSAR evaluations. These reviews have covered systems components and structures and have ranged from in-depth technical reviews to partial system. reviews.

Also, BPC has been directly involved in other reviews covering construction, which adds to its ability to assess adequacy of design.

5. During an assignment to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Project (Pacific Gas & Electric Co.) I participated in an independent design verification program which included l

Teledyne, Stone & Webster, _R.L. Cloud Associates, and R.F.

Reedy, Inc. Also, in my project engineering and engineering management assignments I reviewed and issued or approved numerous nuclear plant design documents, and participcted in

c.

qu Js formulating the ANSI N45.2.ll standard for design control.

In quality assurance management I had overall responsibility for numerous ~ quality programs and audits.

6. I have been asked by Counsel to explain the objec-tive, implementation and results of an August 1984 final report doc'umenting an independent design review of the Byron Station. This' review and the final report were conducted and prepared under my overall supervision and direction. I

.was also requested by counsel to address the criticisms of that report levied by the Intervenors in their Septembcr 12, 1984 Motion to Reopen the Byron Hearing Record. My discus-sion of these matters is set forth in the attached " Joint Statement of Charles W. Dick.and Edward M. Hughes." The statements made therein are true and correct to the best of my information and belief.
