). 50-330 01 & OL (liidland Plant, Units' 1:and 2) -)
TESTIMONY OF-JOSEPH D. KANE WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION PRIOR TO DECEMBER 6, 1979 Q.1. Please state your name and position with the NRC.
A. !!y name is Joseph D. Kane. fiy position with the U.S. Nuclear Re]ulatory Commission is Principal Geotechnical Engineer and I an
['
\
assigned to the Geotechnical Engineering Section of the Hydrologic -
and Geotechnical Engineering Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
-Q.2. Have you prepared a statement of professional qualifications?
A. Yes. A copy of this statement is attached.
Q.3. Please state-the nature of the responsibilities that you have had with respect to the itidland Plant, Units 1 & 2.
A. fly review involvement with the flidland project essentially began in November 1979 when I was assigned the responsibility of serving as technical monitor for the interagency contract between the f4RC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District (hereafter the Corps). The purpose of this interagency contract was to obtain the

V) i service of expert technical personnel from the Corps to assist the
- f1RC in the safety review of the liidland project in the field of geotechnical engineering. fly responsibilities as contract technical monitor include assisting the Corps in their reviert efforts, examining and commenting on their evaluation reports and coordinating the Corps review efforts with other f4RC Branches in technical areas of overlapping safety concern. In addition I have assisted in preparation of interrogatories and responses to interrogatories with regards to the soil settlement problem at the Midland plant. Since llovenber 1979 my involvenent in the review of the liidland project has steadily increased to the point that it is now the major portion of my work at f1RC. In addition to responding (m to Consumers appeal actions (e.g., the appeal of the June 30, 1980 .
% request .for additional borings and laboratory testing) and participation in discovery deposition proceedings, I an extensively involved in the assessment of the adequacy of the renedial measures proposed by Consumers. These remedial fixes are necessary to address the nany problens caused by the unanticipated settlenent of safety related* structures and piping due to the inproperly compacted plant fill.
l Q.4. Please state the purpose of this testimony.
l1 A. .The purpose of this testimony is to supplement the testimony prepared by Eugene J. Gallagher. In response to question 32, Mr.
1 Gallagher' stated that quality assurance deficiencies resulted in the plant im l
~
fill being insufficiently compacted. Mytestimonydemon'stratesithat if the original compaction control requirements set forth in the PSAR had been followed, the plant fill settlement problem would not have occurred.
i Q.5. What.is the basis for your response to Question 4?
A. As indicated in Mr. Gallagher's testimony in response to Question 22, the NRC at the PSAR licensing stage considered the designated mininum compaction criteria and recommended moisture content
. placenent control .to.be design and construction commitments by CPC'.
(The compaction criteria and moisture control requirement at the PSAR stage are summarized in Table 2.5.4, sheet 3 of the FSAR in response to NRC question 362.15). The significance of these -
commitments is extremely important to the expected performance of
~
the plant fill. The engineering profession widely recognizes the importance of adequate controls on compaction and noisture content for soils which are intended to satisfactorily support structures.
This wide recognition comes about tecause of the acknowledged relationship between the state of a soil's compactness and the soil's accepted behavior as an engineering material. CPC, when they indicated that soils which were to support structures would be compacted to a stated percentage of a laboratory established maximun density at a moisture content near optimun, were, in effect, convincing the NRC Staff at the CP Stage that engineering properties of compressibility and shear strength would be acceptable. What has
, W been experienced at Midland (i.e., the plant fill significantly l .
1
n .( {
, u settling under its own weight; foundation supporting safety related structures having very low penetration resistance to spoon samplers; and extensive cracking of structures founded on compacted fill) proves that soils were not' compacted to the designated mininun compaction criteria established at the PSAR stage.
~
Q.6. Do other engineers share your conclusion that the cause of the plant fill settlement problen resulted from inadequate compaction or construction of an unsatisfactory plant fill?
A. Yes. Engineers- from both the Corps and the NRC staff have the opinion that inadequate compaction and failure to attain the mininun compaction criteria designated at the PSAR stage are the najor reasons for the _ settlement problen at liidland. .In addition, in ny
~ (d '
opinion, statenents obtained in the discovery depositions from Bechtel and their consultants support this conclusion. The following is from lines 7-10 at page 97 of the deposition of Sherif -
Afifi (Bechtel employee) taken on October 29, 1980; BY I4R. PAT 0th Q. Doctor, do you have any opinion as to what caused the extensive settlement problen in the plant fill at liidland?
A. Inadequate compaction.
The following is from lines 18-25 at page 15 and lines 1-3 at page 16 of the deoosition of Dr. Ralph B. Peck (Bechtel consultant) taken on January 13, 1981; Q. All right. What is your opinion of. the quality of the soils placement that had taken place prior to your being hired on the tiidland project? ;

MR. J0NES: The soils portions of the project with which he was closely associated.
A. My opinion, or perhaps you could say it was ny conclusion was that the fill' beneath the diesel generator building area and sone neighboring areas was not a satisfactory fill.
'The following is from lines 5-16 at page 41 of the deposition of Or.
Alfred J. Hendron (Bechtel consultant) taken on January 27, 1981; Q. With respect to your construction of the fill do you have any opinion as to the quality of that work?
Were you going to speak?
NS. BLOOM: Yes, I was going to -- I think we have outlined what. kind of work we are talking about here.
MR. JONES: Construction of fill?
O i THE 141TNESS: I think when a fill is settle two to four inches under its own weight, and some places have a very low slow
[ sic]_ count which obviously something went wrong and I cannot say whose fault or what it might have been, but, there were some bad fills there, not as good as it should have been. I shouldn't say had fills, there is a difference.
