November 4, 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR:
James E. Foster, Acting Director, Office of Investigations Region III FROM:
Charles H. Weil, Investigator
SUBJECT:
CONTACT WITH CONGRESSIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT On November 1, 1982, Dean Wilkson, Administrative Assistant to Congressman Kilde of Michigan, telephoned the Office of Investigations, Region III. Wilkson advised Congressman Kilde had been contacted by a constituent who demanded an investigation of welding activities at the Midland' Nuclear Power Plant. Wilkson was reluctant to release the identity of the constituent.
Wilkson was asked if the constituent had provided any specific concerns or other information. The constituent did not provide any specific informa-tion in the letter to the Congressman. Wilkson believed the constituent had read recent newspaper articles concerning welding allegations (by E. E. Kent) at the Midland plant and had subsequently written to the Congressman.
Wilkson was apprised, in general terms, of the current investigation of welding at Midland (3-82-012). No further action is recommended.

h MIDLAND, De'.smber 3,1982 -- Consumers Power Company has initiated a new systems completion plan at the Midland Nuclear Cogeneration Plant. The innovative approach will provide more efficient control over the completion of work at the nuclear plant, according to Consumers Power Company Site Manager, Donald B. Miller.
The Midland Plant is now 85 percent complete.
"We have initiated this completion plan to develop a more detailed assess-ment of the work remaining to be done on the systems in the auxiliary building, diesel generator building and containment buildings," Miller said.
"The program will be carried out by design and test engineers, quality assurance personnel and construction forces who will work as coordinated teams to implement the program."
Another major objective of the plan is to improve the project's performance in meeting the regulations and expectations of the U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Miller added.
The program was outlined to the NRC at a meeting Thursday.
Miller said implementation of the plan results in the reduction of the manual construction workforce by 1,000, leaving approximately 4,000 people at work on the Midland site.. The workforce had been gradually reduced in recent months because of job completion in containment areas but the plan caused a larger layoff.
Miller stated that additional specialized staff will be required to carry out the program, and some of the construction force will be recalled later.
S l
ynn b
s 2
Miller also noted that work will continue on the nuclear steam supply
'system, the' turbine building and miscellaneous systems.
The first phase of the system completion program will be to remove all construction material and temporary equipment from the buildings included in the program.
Each facility will then be cleaned, and the system completion teams will carry out their reinspections on an area by area basis.
As each area is reinspected and the results analyzed, the systems completion team will oversee the completion of any needed remaining work.
The completed systems will then be turned over to Consumers Power for checkout and startup testing.
Miller said that the systems completion program work will be done in parallel i
with underground' foundation work.
The Company has started part of the foundation work, but is awaiting permission from the NRC to complete the underground work.
The foundation will resolve the plant's soils compaction problem and add seismic protection to the plant to meet more stringent earthquake protection require-ments than were called for in the plant's initial design, Because of the delay in completing the foundation work, the Company announced November 9 that it was l
re-evaluating the project completion dates and schedules.

s Jackson, Michigan 49201 (517) 788-0333 MIDLAND, MI, February 8, 1983 -- Consumers Power Company has been informed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission that it has assessed penal-ties totalling $120,000 against ' the Company.
The assessment was levied as a civil penalty resulting from two severity Level 3 violations identified by the NRC following their extended inspection in. October and November 1982 of equipment located in the diesel generator building at the Midland Nuclear Plant.
Level 1 is the most severe and Level 6 is the least severe of NRC t
Inspection indings.,
!the following may be attributed to JWCook sumuuuuuuuur-
"After being told of the inspection findings and meeting with the Commission in January to learn how the NRC evaluated the overall results we agree that the NRC has a valid basis for assessing a civil penalty.
We are disappointed at the size of the penalty but we do not expect to appeal it unless our review of the inspection report revhals significant factual errors of which we are not now aware. The Company's objective is to immediate-ly correct the deficiencies identified and to assure ourselves that these conditions cannot repeat themselves.
We believe the Company's Construction Completion Plan already underway addresses the NRC's concerns as well as incorporates our ideas on how best to complete'the project.
In completing the Midland Plant, the Company is fully committed to complying with all Commission regulations and expectations regarding the quality control and quality assurance programs.
We are confident that our ongoing efforts will enable us to meet all quality requirements to ensure successful completion and safe plant operation."

Hangers 2-611-1-43 and 2'-611-1-35 The drawing for hanger 2-611-1-43 defines the location for hanger 2-611-1-35 as 8 inches from the center of the support.
However, the drawing for hanger 2-611-1-35 was red-lined to show its location at Sh inches from the center
.of the support. As a result of the red-line, two things did not happen which should have happened.,i.e., the drawing for-hanger 2-611-1-43 was not changed and the NDE of the weld at the 5 inch location was not performed.
The fact that the drawing was not revised will be considered as an Unresolved Item (URI).
The lack of NDE on the weld will be considered as an Item of Noncompliance (ION).

This weld had previously passed BWCC QC inspection.
This will be considered as an ION.
NOTE: The NRC stated that one ION will be issued encompassing the noncompliances of hangers 2CCA-1-2-H3, 1-602-2-16, and 2-611-1-35.
Hanger 2CCA-1-2-H2 An attachment weld was found to be rejectable after acceptance by BWCC QC.
However, the NRC stated that because MPQAD had earlier (prior to NRC inspection) identified the particular BWCC QC inspector as questionable, they would not pursue the item further.
The NRC did state that 100% of this inspector's inspec-tions should be checked.
y Hanger 1-602-2-16 This hanger as noted previously will be included in an ION along with two other hangers.
The NRC will also consider as an URI the fact that this hanger is not physically identifiable.
The hanger is identifiable through traceability of the appropriate documentation.
The NRC also requested to know approximately the breakdown of BWCC QC inspectors for the last six months.
This breakdown would be how many mechanical, electrical, etc., inspectors.

'FROM:
R. F. Warnick, Director, Office of Special Cases
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION FOR NOTIFICATION OF LICENSING BOARD In accordance with present NRC procedures regarding Board Notifications.
the following information is being provided as constituting new infor-mation, some of which is relevant and material to the Midland OM/0L proceedings.
A.
This information deals with the licensee's July 11, 1983, decision to stop all Service Water Pump Structure (SWPS) related dewatering well drilling. The pertinent facts that relate to the s op work are as follows:
1.
On July 9, 1983, Bechtel Construction stopped drilling on well #521 when an obstruction was encountered at approximate elevation 619.5 feet. The licensee thought that the obetruction was most likely bedding material for a non-Q prestressed concrete pipe connecting the service water system to the cooling tower.
2.
On July 9, 1983, Bechtel Construction stopped drilling on piezometer #LS-7 when an obstruction was encountered at approximate elevation 614.5 feet. The licensee thought that the obstruction was most likely the mud mat from an electrical duct-bank.
3.
On July 11, 1983, the NRC was informed of these two incidents by a conference call from the licensee. Midland Project Quality Assurance Department (MPQAD) decided to issue a formal stop vork on all SWPS drilling after these discussions.
At the current titre all drilling around the SWPS remains stopped pending the licensee's completion of their corrective action to preclude recurrence. The events and the licensee's corrective actions are described in the attached letter from Mooney to Harrison, dated July 15, 1983.

There appears to be a continuing lack of attention to detail in the t
implementation of the remedial soil / underpinning programs.
This is t
illustrated by the latest Stone and Webster weekly report No. 41,
.which is attached.
The report indicates problems such as untimely
.; 3 resolution of outstanding NCR's, not meeting the intent of design drawings by extending the slope layback under the electrical penetration area (EPA), and not keeping the number of attached changes to a design drawing within workable limits.
l On July 13, 1983, the Region III staff performed an inspection of.
the matters described in paragraphs A. and B. above and questioned why soils work should continue. The licensee's response, dated July 15, 1983, to these questions is attached.
On July 20, 1983, subsequent to the licensee response, the NRC was informed that well #521 had indeed been drilled through the concrete pipe and not into the bedding material as originally thought.
C.
On June 29, 1983, following a review by the Senior Resident Inspector of welding procedures and observation of welding performance demonstra-l tions, the NRC authorized the resumption of safety-related welding work on the Heating Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems.
The work was initially stopped November 30, 1982, after a licensee audit determined that the quality assurance program for welder qualification 4
and welding procedure qualifications was inadequate. A copy of our authorization letter is attached.
D.
Although this is not a safety concern, the following information is provided to keep the Board informed. The lead welding engineer for 1
remedial soils work allegedly instructed a welding rod ~ room attendant to change the rod return time on a number of weld rod withdrawal slips j
to conform to site requirements.
Bechtel, when learning of the alleged i
falsification, investigated, and fired the engineer on June 29, 1983.
The inspectors determined there was no safety significance to this incident.
The welding rods, even though outside the heating ovens for an extended period, were kept by workmen in small portable warming ovens. In addition, the rods were used in the welding of structures considered temporary.
i E.
Consumers Power Company informed Region III that Dow Chemical Company is attempting to terminate its contract with Consumers Power Company to supply process steam to Dow's Midland facility from the Midland 7
j Nuclear Power Station. On July 14, 1983, Dow announced it was filing suit seeking a court judgment that all Dow's obligations under the contract be cancelled "because of CPCo's misrepresentations and l

On spool piece 5, it was noted that weld B was not located per the drawing.
On spool piece 9, it was noted that the heat treat number had been scratched on the surface of the pipe with a knife or other similar object. The subsequent Field Engineers report should explain these scratches. DJVokal stated that UT of the piping welds was being done.

D. H. Danielson opened the meeting by stating that the NRC review of the Midland HVAC effort is fourfold:
Investigation,-- by Wm. Key QA Program Review -- by R. A. Westberg and J. W. Kropp Material Sample Testing -- by Wm. Key Design Review -- by the NRR The main topic of the meeting was the material sample testing described by Bill Key.
See the NRC handout (attached) for details.
Mr. Key explained that sizes and numbers are subject to change. Welds should be included in the samples wherever possible to allow weld integrity tests, perhaps bend tests. Bill Key will personally select the samples and NRC site personnel will ship them to their required destination. CPCo was adamant in starting the sampling effort as soon as possible and Bill Key stated it would begin the afternoon of 8/31/83. All concurred that it would make good sense if Zack utilized their traveler process to cut out the samples.
J G Balazer and J J Sullivan were appointed as the primary interfaces for coordinating the sampling effort.
An implementation meeting was scheduled for 2:30PM in J G Balazer's office.
