1 including engineering licensing folks and that sort of thing.

But I think it was ultimately resolved in the 2

1 3

quality concern program.

4 Q.

Doesn't the quality concern program require the 5

resolution to notification to go to the person involved in 6

quality concern?

7 A.

Yes, that's the standard program.

To see if the concern, the person that expressed the concern, was satisfied.

8 9

Q.

If that notice wasn't sent down, then the quality 10 concerns department hadn't finished their investigation.

i 11 Is that what you're saying?

12 A.

'Either that or they've had an oversight in their 13 regular program.

But that's the normal functioning of that 14 program.

I would not know about that notice.

15 Q..

Did Mr. Mosbaugh tell you in April of 1990 that he 16 believed there were false statements made in the corrective 17 action letters sent to the NRC?

j 18 A.

I do not remember him directly telling me that.

I 19 was told, I believe, by Bill Shipman that Allen Mosbaugh had 20 expressed that concern.

That's my recollection.

21 Q.

What did you do after you learned about that 22 concern?

23 A.

Actually I think I was out of town of something at 24 the time that was raised and that Bill Shipman and George 25 Hairston responded to that including revising the LER and t

ordering a QA audit to be sure that it was completely accurate.

2 Q.

I'm talking about the corrective action letter, not i

3 the LER.

There's a corrective action letter and an LER.

Do 4

you remember learning that there were false statements 5

contained in the corrective action letter?

p 6

A.

What I understand is that Allen brought this up to 7

Bill Shipman.

That he felt that what was in the corrective 8

action letter was in error.

And what was in the LER that was

}'

/):

9 being submitted was also, he thought, in error.

p 10 So as a result of that, they did a QA audit to 11 verify that the LER was correct and we made a statement as I 12 recall in th'e transmittal that said that we wanted to clarify 13 our position on the original letter because there was confusion i

14 about the terms used and that sort of thing.

And so that was 15 attempted to be clarified by the LER.

That's my recollection 16 of it.

17 Q.

Was there ever an investigation as to how false i

18 information got into the corrective action letter or the LER?

t 19 A.

Yes, the QA audit reviewed all of that and i

20 concluded that there were several factors that led to that.

4 21 Q.

Where are the QA audit results?

Were they turned 22 over to the NRC?

t 23 A.

Yes, and we have a QA audit report that they were t

24 provided to the NRC team that investigated that allegation.

25 Q.

That's quality assurance audit?
