MEMORANDUM FOR:
E. H. Johnson, Chief, Reactor Project Branch 1 THROUGH:
L. A. Crossman, Chief, Reactor Project Section B FROM:
G. L. Constable, Senior Resident Inspector, Waterford 3
SUBJECT:
ALLEGATION REGARDING EBASCO QA TRAINING Since this allegation is similar to 4-83-A-65, I am including it in the folder for resolution.
I will answer each of the allegations when complete.
Since we are presently snowed under with other problems, this allegation is a good candidate for delegation to someone else.
If I don't hear from you in this regard, I will continue giving these allegations higher personal priority than preop testing and operational preparedness, but lower priority than the concerns raised by Gambit and the inquiry by DeYoung and other reactive effort as it arises.
If you have any questions, please call.

Allegation:
Specific Allegations 1.
A recent letter written within Ebasco QA required that no DN's be written on things turned over to LP&L. They were directed to use a
' "'" ' O l
speedy memo instead.
2.
A lot of people (QA) have not completed their OJT requirements, 41 t <
- 8 2 /,
therefore everything they have reviewed is suspect. A lot of these /s. " / * / #
- people (job shoppers) are being laid off. He suggested that I f,,,, j, u.) e,,g (NRC) should talk to rm.,rA r e,,,.<[,
Note:
I could not get a clear statement as to whether this
,,. i /.
/, e d. y',...
was simply a lack of documentation or whether the individuals had not actually received the training.
He said OJT requirements are important enough to mean that the QA reviewers are not qualified if they have not completed them. A specific example is the lead and document reviewers in Force Account.
They are not quali fied. Some individuals have worked some 2 years without their 0JT being complete. OJT requirements are as follows:
a.
Qualified reviewers with no background in quality are required to complete 80 hours9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> of specified OJT.
b.
Reviewers with one year experience are required to complete 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of OJT.
Ebasco Force Account has been established onsite since June.
0JT requirements to train their QA people were established about a month ago(August / September).
3.
QA reviewers are actually grooming paperwork. QA finds problems, then has individuals sign the unsigned documents years after the fact and they do not back date. See QAl-9's and QAl-23's.
4.
Documents are left out at night. Should be in fire safes. As many as 352 civil work packages, for example, were left on a desk for several weeks, not stored in' accordance with procedures.
5.
Quality people are being laid off and enaineers are being moved into f,a quality positions - example,
