Testimony of Dan P. Tomlinson Q.

Would you please state your name, business address, employer and poyl! tion?

A.

I am Dan P. Tomlinson, Reactor Inspector, Engineering Section, Reactor Safety Branch, Region IV, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Arlington, Texas.

A summary of my professional qualifications is attached to my affidavit of December 21, 1984.

Q.

Would you briefly describe your duties with regard to the South Texas Project?

A.

From September 1983 through February 1985, I was the senior resident inspector for construction activities at the South Texas Project. Since February 1985, I have been in my current position at Region IV headquarters. During the period from September 1983 to February 1985, I g 70go g Q $

was responsible'for conducting the inspection and enforcenent program as described in I&E Manual Chapter 2512.

I met on a regular basis with licensee and contractor supervision and management to discuss inspection results and the status of the construction effort.

O.

What is the purpose of your testimony?

A.

This testimony is in response to the Licensing Board's Sixth Prehearing Conference Order (Further Definition of Phase II Issues) (dated May 17, 1985), specifically with regard to the competence of HL&P and its new contractors.

Q.

Have you read the NRC staff testimony of Danny Carpenter?

A.

I have.

Q.

Do you agree or disagree with that testimony and what, if any, effect does that testimony or other knowledge you have acquired have upon your affidavit of December 21,1984 (as amended January 24,1985)?

A.

For the period I was onsite, I agree with the statements made by Mr.

Carpenter in his testimony of today and reaffirm my affidavit testimony of December 21, 1984. The applicant and its contractors performed competently with due regard for safety-related issues or concerns. This is the general conclusion of my previous affidavit.

The actions taken by the applicant and its contractors as a result of inspector identified

if 3-violations and concerns were thorough and were accomplished in an expeditious manner.

Each of these actions appeared to be directed strongly toward safe construction and operation of STP.

Q.

Are there any changes you wish to make with regard to your previous affidavit?

A.

No.
