SUBJECT:
ZIMMER' INVESTIGATION .&, & 't:. ~ .* :.**. i. - Tlie 'tthch5d documents dre3r91ded to.our office by Henry Myers of the J ~- a staff of the House Interior. Subcomittee on Energy and the Environment. Thiy were received from anonymous. sources at the Zimer construction site = and appear to be. examples of document alteration / falsification and other a QA-related matters Copies of these documents have already been pro-W vided to Reg, ion. III by our office. { The Subcomittee'.has held hearings. on the 'Zimer situation and is partic ularly interested in the course of our investigation:there. Through its d staff, the Subcomittee has a number of independent channels of infonnation a from the site. Based on the information which he has received from the site, Dr. Myers says there is.still a perception onsite that the NRC 1 is not fully comitted to the investigation. This is despite the recent address given by Region III Administrator Keppler to about 600 Zimer Z project personnel about the importance of QA efforts and Dr. Myers belief _1 that Mr. Hunter, who heads the NRC investigative efforts, is sincere in his comitment to get to the bottom of things. Dr. Myers is concerned about the adequacy of comitment at the highest d levels of the Commission, i.e., beyond the Regional level. He notes that (1) the Comission itself does'n.ot receive regular reports from the 6 Regiori on the status of the investigation; (2) that it has assigned what he feels to be minimal or inadequate resources to the Zinner investiga-1 tion; and (3) that it has not.given those NRC officials actually respon-y sible for the investigation a formal directive stating its clear and unambiguous support, to pursue, the. investigation thoroughly regardless of 4 the consequences. rQ. g. 2.. ... g.,.,

Dodson of the Zimmer Construction [.h proj ect,, -..,, *..'... w. a. .c .Severa1' deficiencies wer.e_uqted..and,.are tabulated in the attached standard audit I -forms. The followiWd'eficiencie's are considered more consequential and are listed below for your information. 1. A piping sectics.was reversed and was welded into the ' system with ends mark numbers 1 - 3==d 2 - 4 joinei instead of 1 - 2 and 3 - 4. ApParently there ~ is no mechanism of check-off of weld ends prior to welding. The KE Weld 1' form will be maiified to provide for a check off of this feature when c' heck-i
- ing welding preparations.,
2. Wald Ingineering had not provided the'dccument center with up-to-dcte records 'of qualified welders. This was discussed with all parties involved and it ves agreed that a correct weekly list would be provided. 3. Poor practice is marking and identifying radiograph's was notedr Requested' 4-ediate a' tics aui. all responsible parti.es were inform,ed of this requirement. c
- 4. One pallet of fabricated pipe was found in the warebotis'e quarantine area that was not tagged for identification. All material in the quarantine area vill be tagged in the future.
While not a deficiency to the Qtiality' Assurance Manual,'it was noted that the Design Document Change (DDC) forms are hmM1ed in a very poor' nanner which should be-corrected at the earliest possible date. The present system calls for KEI to . rsview a revised drwin8 which has been ' evised by Sargent and Lundy and deternine r which DDC's have been incorprated in that revision. Remaining DDC's, if any, are then listed by s r.a. on the drawing as still being outstanding. The organization in the best positics to idedtify the DDC's that have been incorporated in a. revised drawing is the one that actually revises the drawings -- Sargent and Lundy. This can easily be don _e ~sy simply listing in the revision box on the drawing the DDC's that have been inecrsorated. This was an AEC requirement on LOFr and verked cuite w 411. If this isn't corrected at the present time when the number of DDC's is small it can lead to serious problems later' in the project when =any DDC's are b3ing issued. 8 g t j 8 n im enisi e O -u i

SUBJECT:
ZIMMER HU"t. EAR PLANT '/ t \\ When we met in Cincinnati. 0hio, on May 19, 1982 Jim Foster asked me if all interviews conducted by OIA regarding Zimmer had been provided to Region !!!. I assured Jim that that was the case. Recently, in conngetion with an inquiry received from Henry Meyers and l the Gannett News Service. I determined that although Region !!! had been provided with 01A's interviews of , you had not been furnished with a copy of 0!A's interview of Terry Harpeter. Harpster was interviewed by DIA in connection with our inquiry entitled " Adequacy of IE Investigation 50 538/80-09 at the William H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station" (0!A File 81-13) while the other individuals mentioned above were interviewed by 0!A in connection with our inquiry entitled "Zimmer Plant - Allegations Re Deficient Construction" (0!A File 81-3g). When I reviewed the Harpster interview in August 1981 1 determined that although the interview was conducted as i part of the investigation of case 81-18, it was in fact not relevant to that case but was in fact relevant to case 81-39. Accordingly, the Harpster interview was not made part of our report entitled " Adequacy of !! Investiga tion 50-358/80-09 at the William H. Zimmer fluclear Power Station" but instoad was placed in File 81-39. O!A has never issued a report in connection with File 81-39 in the first instance because of a request from the Department of Justice to temporarily suspend the investigation and more recently because of the Commission's decision that the Office of Investigations should conduct such investigations. 9 In view of the above. Harpster's interview is attached as potential input for.any forthcoming investigative report. I am sorry to provide you with this interview at this late date. However, absent the inquiry from Dr. Meyers and Gannett I.hs Service. I am afraid l we would have overlooked providing this infonr.ation to Region !!!. For ^ l l I .Sf.

Bert Davis 2-gh, your information it is my understanding that Gannett-News Service brought ~ this matter to MRC's attention after an anonymous source furnished Gannett with a copy of an early draft of CIA report " Adequacy of IE Investigation 50-358/80-Og at the William H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station." This draft evidently includes the Harpster interview.

Harpster said Schweirs also asked him to send IE inspection reports to him (Schweirs) so he could decide which matters would be sent on to Schott.

Harpster said there was a lot of pressure on individual II inspectors because of the nomentum generated by the NRC licensing process. Rarpster said that pressure is also created on construction personnel by the contractor's veld, production schedules. He explained that the construction manager has to have a certain number of velds completed to keep the piping installation on schedule. He said that problems arise den the construction personnel are pushed.

/ ^ PHILLIP GITTINGS Deputy Qual'ity Assurance Manager Kaiser Engineering, Incorporated William H. Zimmer Nuclear Construction Project ~. br. Phillip Gittings, fomer Quality Assurance Manager, Kaiser Engineering, Incorporated.(KEI), assigned to the William H. Zimer Construction Project was interviewed on July 8,1981, at the Zimer Construction Site. Prior to any questions being asked, Messrs. Albert Puglia and John Sinclair identified themselves as Investigators, Office of Inspector and Auditor (0!A), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC).. Also... ~ present during the interview was James McCarten Investigator, Office of Insp,ection and Enfetreement (IE), Revion III. Mr. Gittings was also provided the opporYini'ty toveView appropriate credentials and advised that the purpose of the OIA investigation was to detemine his knowledge of' alteration or falsification of Quality Control (QC) documentation (NonConformance Reports, Kaiser Engineering Inspection forms-KE1 forms). Mr. Gittings began the interview by describing his employment wit'h the Kaiser Corporation. Gittings explained that he had worked for Kaiser for approximately 4 1/2 years and had held the position of Kaiser Quality Assurance (QA) Manager at the Zimer Site for about one year. Gittings stated that he assumed the position in July 1980 and had recently been reassigned as the Deputy QA Manager and was scheduled to be transferred .to another Kaiser project in the near future. Investigator McCarten questioned Gittings as to his knowledge of " voiding" Nonconformance Reports (NR's). Gittings stated that prior to November 1980 most " voiding" of NR's was done by the Supervisor for Document Control. Floyd Oltz. Gittings responded to questions concerning the qualifications of the Supervisor, Document Control, and his authority to " void" NR's by stating that Oltz did not have the technical qualifications to assess the validity of NR's or the authority to disposition the NR's as " void." Gittings stated that the proper procedures for processing an NR called for a technical evaluation of the information contained on the NR to determine whether or not the deficiency described was valid, and if not, the NR could be dispositioned as " void." Gittings continued by explaining that the.only person who had the authority to void an NR would be the QA Manager. Gittings also advised that the problem with NR's and their " voiding" was the topic of discussion with an NRC inspector from Region III (1. Yin) in the fall of 1980. In response to subsequent questioning concerning NR's written by a QC inspector by the name of Ruiz, which were " voided" by Gittings, he (Gittings) acknowledged that he had " voided" the NR's but could not recall why he had voided them. g 4
O<- q ) r-2 Phil'11p Gittings 1 x Gittings stated that during an inspection of the site, Yin discovered t the problems of " voiding" NR's in the Document Control section. Gittings stated that the discovery of the problem had been discussed during an exit meeting between the NRC inspector, representatives of Cincinnati i Gas and Electric (CG&E) and Kaiser. Gittings further stated that he . attended the meeting and recalled that Yin questioned the voiding procedures i and the process whereby the Document Control Supervisor was exercising the authority to void NR's. According to Gittings, Kaiser advised the NRC that there would be no more voiding of NR's by the Document Control l Supervisor. When questioned about QA being intimidated by the Construction Manager (Robert Marshall), Gittings replied that he was not intimidated by Marshall or construction's challenges to the findings of QC inspectors. Git' tings ' stated tTaTMarsha'11"has a strong personality, but he, Gittings, e would not change QC findings based solely on Marshall's objections. Gittings added, however, that there were some instances where he, Gittings. agresid with Marshall's position and subsequently overrode the findings ' of the QC inspector. Gittings continued by stating that when he arrived at the Zimmer site he found what he believed to be inadequate QA Management. At that point he began to hire additional QC inspectors from other construction sites. This, Gittings stated, also caused some difficulty because some of the inspectors came from projects which were inspecting to other code r2quirements . than the AWS (American Welding Society) that was in effect at Zimmer. ( Gittings explained that the differences resulted in Kaiser instructing i the QC inspectors that the standards and requirements at Zimmer were j those incorporated in the AWS code. Gitt.ings responded to questions regarding the placing of NR's in a i separate file titled the Inspection Report File by stating that he was not involved in directing or placing NR's in places other than where 4 they were supposed to be. Gittings stated that he had never instructed anyone to place documents (NR's) in files other than the NR system. Gi.tt'ings was then advised that between January and February 1980 " Inspection l Report" stamps began to be placed in NR log books in order to remove or recategorize the original NR as an inspection report and remove it from i l the NR system. Gittings explained that the practice at the site was for the QC inspector to call in from the field to get a control number and after the' number was issued write up and submit the NR. This, according to Gittings, is compatible with the Quality Assurance Control Manual Instructions (QACMI),' procedure which states that QC inspectors can l initiate an HR "that is correct." Gittings added that once the NR has l been reviewed by'a QC supervisor or himself and determined to be valid, then it was entered into the NR file. j s 1 I i e i : - - =

Gittings repeited th'at'he'-~ - - did not order or direct anyone to place existing NR's in the " Inspection Report" system. Gittings also stated that he did not order or direct that any changes be made to recording NR's in the NR log. dittings responded to questioning pertaining to a Xaiser management meeting conducted in early 1980 by stating the following. Gittings explained that he believed that the subject of the meeting had to do with the inspection of pipe support hangers. Gittings added that there were people from Kaiser QA construction and licensee personnel in attendance. According to Gittings, Gene Knox (QA Kaiser Corporate) Rex Barer (Kaiser QC Supervisor), Bob Marshall (Kaiser Construction Supervisor) and Scott Swain (CG&E), along with some others, were present in the meeting. Gittings stated-that -there was an ongoing problem of writing up and accumulating NR's on pipe hanger' deficiencies. Gittings stated there had been a problem with NR's on the hanger area. Gittings stated that a decision was reached as a result of the meeting to stop writing NR's and to " void"' existing NR's. This, decision was based upon the fact that Sargent and Lundy (S&L), architect engineer for the project, was to do a , reevaluation of the design of the hangers and inspections would be conducted according to design modifications. A se~cond consideration was that QC inspections of vendor hangers (Patterson) were not to be conducted. The instructions were that QC inspectors were "not to inspect hangers purchased outside."' dittings continued by explaining that the previous fall (1979), there was continued " turmoil" concerning hanger inspections. Gittings explained there was pressure to get hangers installed and QA was "getting beat up" concerning inspections. Gittings stated that in one instance where 60 hangers were identified as having deficiencies and were written up on one NR, he had made the decision to separate the deficiencies and place one hanger on one NR. This, according to Gittings, was not intended to overrule the QC inspectors. Gittings also stated that he was not involved and had not instructed anyone to set up any " secret files" regarding QA documentation. Gittings responded that construction has not ordered him to move QC staff around in order to stop critical inspections. Gittings did state, however, '.' people have been reassigned to other systems." At this juncture, nyestigator McCarten left the interview and it continued in the presence.of Investigators Puglia and Sinclair.- Gittings began a discussion pertaining to the Kaiser QA organization and who has responsibility for the QA program at the site by stating it is Kaiser's responsibility. Gittings continued, however, and explained that Kaiser was "doing the work for a very tough client (CG&E) and that I l 4 - ~ _. _ _, _ ,'L. C' P 1 ' ~- ~' ^ lf i
( ( Phillip Gittings 4 any requisition-for-additional.manpowet.or staffing for QA/QC had to go through the c41en+ " Gittings added that he had to report everything through Bill Schwiers, QA Manager for CG&E. ' Gittings stated in response to questioning that the QA organization for Kaiser is currently staffed at a "substantially higher level" than at his time of arrival.or initial assignment at the site. Gittings added that he was continuing to recruit QC personnel for Kaiser employment. Gittings admitted, however, that the staffing of the QA/QC organization in the past has not been " adequate to meet the requiements of 10 CFR (Part 50, Appendix B). Gittings added that the client (CG&E) "did not have an adequate QA/QC staff" and "some (personnel) indivi. duals should not have been in the system." Gittings continu.e.d_by_ deny.ing,that he had instructed anyone to " white out" NR entries 'in the NR log. He (Gittings) stated that, in fact, his instructions were to make no changes in the recordings in the NR log book. Gittings responded to questions concerning the utilization of " punch lists" to record deficiencies rather than NR's by stating that punch lists were used to rectify problems instead of NR's. Gittkngs was questioned as to the circumstances which led to the tennination of the contract with the Butler quality control inspectors. Gittings stated that the contract was terminated after discussions with Kaiser corporate management and a meeting which took place in which the decision was made to " eliminate the shoppers" (stop the contract with Butler). Gittings admitted that although Kaiser had been having difficulty in staffing QA/QC, the decision was made that Kaiser would have its own QC inspectors. As Gittings recalls, offers were made to approximately 21 of Butler inspectors of which 17 accepted. Gittings added that 34 QC inspectors left for other employment. Gittings also stated that the piping area was reduced from 10 QC inspectors to three inspectors partially because the work slowed down. Gittings stated, however, that the corporate decision to drop the " job shoppers" also played a part. Gittings concluded his comments on the contract issue by stating that he believes some of i the reasons for eliminating the Butler people were that Kaiser could cut down on paperwork and establish a cadre for Kaiser's own QA organization. Other factors, according to Gittings related to cutting costs, eliminating "over inspheting" and the Butler inspectors had "no loyalty" to Kaiser. e .,.ews=
^, ( ( ~ Phillip Gittings 5 f[J Gittings furthFr stated there-were-some-d4fficulties.or problems _in_ working with Bob Marshaii-because-he-was-loud and aggressive, but it did not effect his (Gittings) position or his independence as Kaiser QA Manager. Gittings did stated that one problem that did effect his ability to carry out his job was his relationship with the CG&E QA Manager, Bill Schwiers. In fact, Gittings stated "my primary goal was to get along with him" (Schwiers). Gittings added that Kaiser lost the previous QA Manager (Turner) because he was unable to get along with Schwiers. Gittings explained that there were numerous requests in the fonn of memoranda which were sent by Turner to CG&E asking for additional QC staffing which were turned down or denied by Schwiers..Gittings was requested by OIA to contact Kaiser corporate and advise them that NRC-requests copies of the memoranda which indicate that additional QC staffing was necessary to meet the requirements of 10 CFR. Gittings stated he would contact corpo_r4t.e and advise them of the request. Gittings could not furnish any additional infonnation regarding problems with the QA program. 9 4 e 4 e e 4 0 9 6 9 4 ,, ' ~ ' * :~ T, ~'~ ~~ ~.~::_ ~~ 'i:, :: :, ,__._-_..__;_.-_______:_____..~. - ~ ' '
g. L L William W. Schwiers Former Quality Asspranc,.q_ Man,ager Cincinnatit Gas, and Electric William H. Zimer Nuclear Construction Project, = tir. William W. Schwiers, fomer Quality Assurance Manager, Cincinnati Gas and Electric (CG&E) was interviewed on July 9,1981, by Albert B. Puglia and John R. Sinclair, Investigators, Office of Inspector and Auditor (OIA), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Prior to any questioning, Mr. Schwiers was provided the opportunity of reviewing appropriate credentials and advised that the areas being investigated pertained to intentional aJteration of Quality Control (QC) Records and willful' omissions regarding QC records. ~ Mr. Schwiers began the IhteWME by providing a brief description of his duties while assigned to thq Zimmer Construction Project. Schwiers stated that he first began working at Zimer in the 1973 time frame as a representative for Cincinnati Gas and Electric and that continued until approximately 1975. At that time Schwiers stated he became the Senior Field Project Engineer in the Quality Assurance Organization which lasted for the next year. In 1976 Schwiers was reassigned to the functions of Quality Assurance Manager for the project. Schwiers stated that at that time the Quality Assurance Manager for Kaiser was Bill Friedrich. Schwiers further stated that the CG&E Quality Assurance group at the i. site consisted of four other CG&E employees plus himself. According to Schwiers, it was his responsibility to audit and monitor the Kaiser QA program. Schwiers continued by explaining that it was his percept' ion that the i' Kaiser QA program, at the time he (Schwiers) took over QA for CG&E, "did not have sufficient independence from the Construction Group." Schwiers l stated that at some point Kaiser QA Manager Friedrich, was replaced by another Kaiser supervisor Bob Turner. The exact date of the change f-could not be recalled, however, Schwiers did state there was a period in which an individual from Kaiser Headquarters, Gene Knox, was acting in the capacity of Kaiser QA Manager. [ Schwiers stated that Knox was commuting to the Zimer Site from the Oakland, California area and although he was the QA Manager for the site, he (Knox) would not relocate to the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Schwiers explained that he, as well as CG&E found the situation with Knox comuting - tc the site unacceptable because it did not demonstrate the commitment t l \\ l !2 ,_:_n-

i \\ \\ required to the Quality Assurance Program. Schwiers further explained that Turner finally was placed in the position as Kaiser QA Manager. i which lasted unt44-approximately October 1979. Schwiers stated that as he recalled. -there was a_ problem with QA' documentation within Kaiser-and that Turner was replaced by another QA Manager. --- Schwiers stated that part of the problem identified with the Kaiser QA . documentation was discovered through a CG&E QA audit. Schwiers added that the Kaiser documentation problem is still being reviewed by a contractor to CG&E, Science Application, Incorporated (SAI). Schwiers continued by stating that he believed Phil Gittings, the most current Kaiser QA Manager, was hired by Kaiser from a position in " corporate" at Cleveland Electric Illuminating (CEI). Schwiers also. stated that he believed thatiGittings had formerly worked for a Kaiser Project in Florida pertaining to a transportation project. In response to questions, Schwiers responded that "on paper" he was in control of the project. Schwiers also stated that initially all of CG&E QA was located at the site. Subsequently, however, the QA organization expanded and some QA functions were located at CG&E corporate in Cincinnati. Schwiers then stated as the QA representative part of the responsibility was to monitor Kaiser's QA/QC activity by conducting independent audits. Schwiers continued by stating that he had "some authority" in relation to denying requests for additional Quality Control inspections submitted ' by Kaiser QA. Schwiers was then advised that DIA had interviewed personnel at the Zimer site, including Kaiser QA personnel and as a result, information was developed which indicated that Kaiser QA-supervisors had made repeated requests to CG&E for additional staffing of the QC department in order to meet the requiements of federal regulations, specifically 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. l Schwiers was also advised that the requests had been made in writing by Kaiser and that each of the requests has been denied by him (Schwiers). - Schwiers stated that he believed that he had honored all of the requests submitted by Kaiser QA and stated that as far as he could recall, all of the requests submitted by the current Kaiser QA, Phil.Gittings, were honored. Schwiers was apprised that his statement concerning requests submitted by Gittings had been confimed, however, the specific requests and time. frame alluded to occurred at the time Bob Turner was the Kaiser l QA Manager. Schwiers' repeated that he believed that all requests were l considered and honored. He (Schwiers) was informed that NRC had requested supporting documentation from Kaiser and believed that it was going to be provided in the near future. l i +--r-~ e
r .( ( . Schwiers continued by stating that if there are such requests as described by NRC and resp'onding correspondence denying the requests, they probably contain his signature. Schwiers was then questioned as to the extent of his authoritymas_ sit _e_QA Manager for CG&E in either " staffing" or denying requests for. add 1tional staff. Schwiersi stated,that_he_ha.d "some authority" and repeated that he probably would.have been the CG&E official-i whose name appeared on the paperwork. However, he believed that the decisions specifically addressing the described Kaiser requests were probably made in a CG&E management meeting. Schwiers responded to questions regarding the " management meeting" by stating that he believed tho attendees at the meeting were himself, supervisors from the CG&E Generation and Construction Departments and the Pro. ject Manager (Barney Culver). Schwiers added in response to questioning if any other CG&E officials were present by stating that he could not rporember. Schwiers stated that he organizationally reported to Earl Borgmann Vice President, CG&E, however, he could not recall if he was present-at..the. meeting. Schwiers then responded to questions concerning CG&E's QA organizational structure by stating that as the senior site QA Supervisor he reported directly~ to Earl Borgmann, Vice President for CG&E. Schwiers added that other departments within CG&E (Generation Construction Design) also. reported.directly to Borgmann. Schwiers stated that although he stated in the beginning of the interview that he believed Kaiser's QA/QC organization lacked independence in performing its function he coulgt not say there was any significant difference in the QA/QC organization within CG&E. to deny staffing Schwiers was repeatedly asked if he had the authority (Schwiers) would requests pertaining to-Kaiser QA/QC at which time he continually state that "his name 'was probably on the paper" and he could not remember if his supervisor, Earl Borgmann, was in attendance at any meeting. Schwiers was also reluctant to state unambiguously that he had the authority to deny Kaiser QA staffing requests and would only state that the decisions were a result of CG&E management meetings. Schwiers stated that 'CG&E had been conducting audits of the Kaiser QA program and that was one of the methods which disclosed QA problems. Schwiers was then questioned as to how his statement coincided with the fact that NRC Region III Inspectors had conducted a thorough inspection i of the audit function of CG&E's QA program and found that there had been no audits done for extended periods of time and in some areas no audits at all. Si:hwiers stated he was aware of the inspection referred to, but did not have an answer regarding the violations cited by NRC i pertaining to the QA audit requirements. 6 1 y ~~- i
r ( s. 'Schwiers was queried as to the type of contract with Kaiser. Schwiers replied that.he bel.ieved_jt was a " cost-plus-a-fixed-fee". Schwiers added that he was not familiar with the specifics of the centract, however, he was aware that Kaiser had to get " authorizations" for contract changes from CG&E. Schwiers agreed that under the nonnal cost-plus-a- - fixed-fee contract Kaiser would not have to have had CG&E's approval for staffing, however, he was unable to explain the contract restricts which required Kaiser to submit staffing requests to CG&E. Schwiers explained that'during his assignment as Q'A Manager at Zimmer he was under " tremendous pressure". When asked to elaborate Schwiers declined to coment on what type of pressure he was refering to. Schwiers concluded the interview by advising OIA that he was going to retire from CG&E in the October-November ti:ne frame. Schwiers also stated that if ~ there were anf additional requests. to interview him,.be was going to have. to limit his responses tc "yes" or "no" answers. t t 9 6 6 9 g 9 D =~ d

{h j q _t December 10, 1982 I CONGRESSMAN ACCUSES NRC 0F ZIMMER COVER-UP i I WASHINGTON-The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) misled the public l on the extent of construction problems at Zimmer Nuclear Power Station near l Cincinnati by improperly squelching NRC documents critical of,Zimmer, says j Rep. Norris Udall. 6 Udall, chairman of the House Interior Committee, charged in a letter to NRC chairman Nunzio Palladino that key informatien on Zimmer quality breakdowns and NRC inspection deficiencies was deleted from a 1981 report [ by the NRC's Office of Inspector and Auditor (CIA)., l t The Arizona Democrat further charged that 0!A cedered inspectors to purge the deleted material from their files 50 that ti'e information would not have to be turned over to Zimmer critics under the Freedom of Information Act. Udall, sho has spearheaded an Interior Committee probe of Zimmer, 9 said the NRC's attempt to withhold the material from the public " raises questions about the integrity" of the agency's investigation of Zimmer. "The withholding of such docr ents had the effect of placing the Zimmer situation in a more favorable light than was justified by the i facts...Cand) contributed to the delay in public recognition of the j true status of the Zimeer project" UdaLL said. j NRC spokesman Joseph Foucr.ard ceclined comment on the charges except to say that the commission "will tesk into the matters raised by l l Congressman Udall and respond as ecc* as possible." i The NRC Last month shut det 9 :c'.:truction of the plant af ter the [ i NRC staff reported serious deficier.cies in cuality control. Zimmer is being built by Cincinnati Ga: & E wctric Co. and two other Ohio utilities. ( UdaLL based his charges cr. a tttter to his committee from David Gamble, a,former CIA inspector who playec a rajor role in the 1981 investigation. The CIA investigation kat cectrce. af ter the NRC was accused of l glossing over charges of centt rattica deficiencies made by Thomas Applegate, 4 a local private investigator. ~ l In his letter to Udally, Gartle seid CIA investigators found serious l deficiencies in the NRC's overall it.a tigative program, as well as specific problems at Zimmer. l j But he said the draft report submitted by the staff was cut and i l rewritten by OIA management "so that it no longer described the scope of the 0!A's investigation...The rewritten summary of the final report leads I the reader to believe that DIA had only performed a limited investigation of ineptness by NRC employees, when the scope had actually been broader." i Gamble also complained that 01A investigators were forced by their supervisors to review the draft report with NRC officials who were subjects i of the CIA investigation. He said the report was later changed to accommodate i the concerns of those officials. Gamble said he was ordered by OIA management to remove documents from his files in late 1981 after the Government Accountability Project } l (GAP), a leading Zimmer critic, filed a Freedom of Information Act request l for aLL OIA material that had been deleted from the final report. "My supervisor asked me if I had any records subject to the request" Gamble said. "When I replied that the file cabinet in my office contained
\\ i t Decer.ber 10, 1982 a number of drafts and material that had been deleted from the final report I was directed to remove these documents from OIA Offices. OIA's response to GAP's Freedom of Information request made no mention of these documents." Gamble said he has kept the material he removed from his files, and recently provided copies to the NRC's general counsel. Udatt and Gamble expressed particular concern about the CIA's decision to delete entirely from its final report a 1981 interview with Terry Harpster, who was an NRC inspector at Zimmer from 1977 to 1979. In the deleted interview, which has been obtained independently by Gannett News Service, Harpster told Gamble that quality assurance was "out of control"when he arrived at Zimmer. He said CGSE had "Little Another page to follow I 9 9 9 4
\\ CIN'CINNATI ENOUIRER l 'ontinued from Page Al appreciation for the resources needed for the plant," and that the utility barely met minimum staffing recuirements. Harpster said that "many plant personnel felt a nuclear plant was similar to the operation of a fossil fuel plant," according to Camble's account of the interiiew. Harpster said he tried to draw attention to the cuality control problemt at Zimmer, but was consistently resisted by CC&E and the NRC. He told Gamble there were "a lot of ' cough guys' vor'<ing at the plant and the situation got worse when they were drinking...one assistant manager gas afraid to tour the plant because of the convicted felons wor' ting out there." Harpster sharply criticized the NRC's inspection system, saying it lef t inspectors too dependent on the utilities for information and under heavy pressure to move construction along to keep costs down. In his letter to Palladino, Ms Udall asked that the NRC provide its reasoning for the deleting of the Harpster interview from the OIA, and for directing Camble to remove his files from the office. Udall also reouested "an enumeration of steps taken by the Commission to insure against further acts of improper withholding of docum(nts." * [ O e e b i S

To my knowledge, there has never been any dispute that the initial investigation at Zimer, based on Applegate's allegations,.the second investigation at Zimer, and subsequent corrective actions taken by Region III were the responsibilities of IE, Region III, and the Executive Initially, DIA's role at Zimer was to assess Director.for Operations. It was l IE's performance in the investigation of Applegate's allegations. not to assess the quality of construction at Zimer. l ~ In approximately May through July 1981, OIA independently initiated an investigation at the Zimer plant which focused on the criminal The implications of construction activities at the Zimer plant. l investigation included interviews of CG&E management officials. Additionally, the investigation was conducted with the full knowledge of l the U.S. Attorney, Cincinnati, Ohio, Region III, and NRC Headquarters.

The Co miss5; 3 l 4 4. OIA improperly suspended its investigation of wrongdoing at Zimer and requested the U.S. Attorney to halt his criminal investication because of a concern that the IE safety investigation would be impeded even though IE had. in fact, stopped its active investigation, thus allowing the subject of the investigation to continue its )ractices and to cover its tracks. However, there were no allegations t1at DIA withheld Information from the U.S. Attorney's office; ~ The issue of OIA suspending its criminal investigation at Zimer is clearly documented in letters between Patrick Hanley, Chief. Special in the U.S. Attorney's Office, Cincinnati and myself Prosecutions Unit,(see Attachments-2 and 3). Briefly, it was Mr. Hanley, in September 1981 in his September 9,1981, letter, who recomended that no criminal investigation begin until the civil investigation is complete..My September 17, 1981, response to Mr. Hanley stated that DIA already had a criminal investigation underway under an agreement with the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office, Cincinnati, Ohio. I further l, advised Mr. Hanley that because IE was at that time planning to complete their investigation within a short timeframe and in deference to his point of view, CIA would discontinue its criminal investigation until the civil investigation was completed. One further point should be made. The criminal investigation at Zimer i is presently going forward and testimony is being taken by a Federal 4, Grand Jury in Cincinnati. While Mr. Applegate and his attorneys may disagree with NRC decisions with regard to the conduct of the criminal investigation, the matter is going forward in an orderly and proper i manner. 5. IE diverted resources to investigate Applegate (Applegate stated that he had a personal feeling that DIA might have had an influence here but that he had no support for this feeling); l OIA is not aware that IE investigated Mr. Applegate. As to his feelings that DIA had some influence on this matter, OIA denies this allegation. Additionally, Mr. Applegate's concern on this issue is truly indicative l of the position in which OIA now finds itself. I am sure Applegate and l his attorneys have strong personal feelings about a lot of things with regard to Zinner, however, I believe the degree of certainty and belief required in making such allegations should be substantially more than " feelings". Unfortunately, OIA must respond and justify its conduct and behavior based on such unfounded and personal beliefs. 6. The OIA report was improperly edited to delete critical information regarding CG&E manaoement involvement and possibly also to delete coments that were critical of IE. Information deleted or edited out of the orig'inal CIA report of the IE investigaticn at Zimer was accomplished with a view toward fashioning a precise report which addressed the scope of the assignment as requested 2 i
.ission OIA did not have an improper motive in by Chairman Ahearne at the time.OIA attempted to clearly focus the report en the editing the report. In sum, what was done with assignment that was to be accomplished. regard to editing the OIA report was nothing more than what every drafter of Government correspondence has done at some point; revise a draft report to assure that it is a factually correct and professionally prepared product which clearly addresses the issues. ~ In early August 1981, 0IA concluded that the overall IE investigation of The basis for that finding was, Applegate's allegations was unsatisfactory. among other things, that: the investigation failed to determine the correct status and history of several welds; the overall investigative effort was neither vigorous nor sufficiently broad in scope; the finding of "non substantiated" with regard to the allegation that defective welds in safety-related systems had been accepted is not consistent with the facts. These findings are clear and unambiguous and, by any standard, the language is hardly that which would be used if OIA's objectives were to put either the NRC, or CG&E in a favorable light. On its own initiative OIA brought potential criminal issues involving con-struction of the Zimmer plant to the Department of Justice's (DOJ) attention in May 1981. ' This too is hardly the action which would be taken by an office that was interested in placing the Zimmer project in a more favorable light or trying to delay public recognition of the alleged wrongdoing at the Zimmer site. In conclusion and from OIA's vantage point, I would also note that th'e Zimmer situation is in a posture which is commensurate with the conditions that have, to this point, been identified by the NRC, Construction activity has been halted and heavy penalties have been assessed. Additionally, a Federal Grand Jury is currently looking into this matter. Attachments: 'As stated. a 4 e O e -.--.-,r.-_, .-.,,,-w,,,.-__. r ,,.._m--. .,m.,e.,-,.-,_-.-,---,_....-,-___m,_._.,._.-__e

bring the infoiwation to "someone's attention and now he was requested to do more. Applegate said he then c111ed Chairman Ahearne's office who apparently referred the matter to IE." 1 In view of the above, I think 'it appropriate for me to provide, for the record, g best recollection of the situation. On February 19, 1981, Mr. Applegate called my office, spoke to y secretary, and asked that I return his call. After several telephone attempts by both Mr. Applegate and myself, we finally spoke two or three days later. 1ly best recollect, ion of the highlights of this conversation is as follows: Because of his investigat' ion of the Zimer Plant, he feared for his life and wanted me to provide for. his transportation from cincinnati, Ohio, to Hashington, D.C., and to also, provide for his protective custody. I Applegate had been to both the Cincinnati FBI and the Cincinnati ~ U.S. Attorney's office and had n'ot r'eceived a satisfactory solution from these offices of his' prob 1em., He had currently locked h'imself in his home and was afraid to go 4 outside because of the investigative reports he had written. He reasoned that if he could give these reports to someone in the Federal Government, then the pressure would be off him, i.e., they would be out of his control.and that being the case he could go about his business with Tess fear. Applegate did not trust NRC and would definitely not deal with the HRC P.egional' Office. I told Applegate that I could not provide either the transportation or protective custody that he sought, but that I would be happy to receive his written investigative reports regarding the Zir:nce Plant. Applegate told me that my having a copy of his reports might solve his problems, ~ but that he would have to think about it over the weekend and let me i know of his decision. i Af ter talking to Applegate I c'a1. led the Cincinnati FBI office and verified The that Applegate had been to their office s'eeking protective custody. agent to whom I spoke characte,rized Mr. Applegate as apparently totally sane. 1 _ i i ..fh j sm) ~
