The preceding paragraphs show that inspection during the month of June was largely follow-up inspection while the month of July shows a return to routine i
inspection.
I l
Status of RIV Task Force Follow-Up Inspection During the subject inspection period, follow-up inspection of the licensee's responses and corrective action relative to Investigation Report 79-19 unresolved items and Show Cause Order items was performed. The following is i

Construction Status

The licensee could have resumed full production work two months ago; however, i
i
(
work has not resumed because the Architect Engineering is behind schedule.
It j
1 has impacted the site activity and has resulted in lay-offs and a low level of work activity. The RRI met with the HL&P Project Manager to discuss this matter.
It appears that the engineering problems will not be straightened i
j; out until January 1982 or perhaps later.
4 i
l On May 30, 1981, the HL&P Project' Manager stated that Physical Design was 75.7%
(
i cor91ste on Unit 1 and 23.7% on Unit 2.
The overall complete was reported as l
545. The contract between HL&P and B&R stated that the engineering would be l
~
completed by 1978. Needless to say, HL&P appears to be disenchanted with the i
l AE offert.
l
{
A Lay-offs over the last few months have reduced the work force from approximately I
+
l 3,500 to 2.750 as of July 1, 1981. The work force of 2,750 was comprised of 1,112 craftsmen (including foremen) and 1,605 other personnel on site. Them i
i i
are approximately 147 on the night shift and these workers are involved with concrete curing, cement finishing and applying coatings.
Unit I l
Civil work activity is proceeding on RCB, IEAB, FH8 and DGB. A second l
done pour is scheduled for August 12, 1981. The concate work on PEA 8 l
is almost complete while the concrete on the FHB and the DG8 well over l
60 805 complete. Testing of the Service Level I Coating is in progress as well as repair of defective areas.
)
1 j
Mechanical work activity is progressing very slowly. Some AW5 welding
)
is being perforised, however, little pipe welding is being done in any,
j i
of the areas except for ASDE repair welding of ECW pipe. The only i
mechanical equipment set is that equipment which must be in because l
of access.
~
Electrical work activity has not started except supports for cable trays l
that are being installed.
\\
Unit 2
(
l I
Civil work in Unit 2 is limited to work inside the RC8 as shell well pours will not be made outside untti January-February 1982. The concrete work on Unit 2 is probably less than 40% complete. Emphasis is being placed on Unit 1.
The only mechanical and electrical work on Unii; 2 is that work which is essential for the civil work to progress.

l A nunber of strong runors have been going around the site. One runor is that Brown & Root will be replaced as the Art:hitect Engineer for STP or bring in another AE to assist B&R.
It has also been rumored that Bechtel is trying to come to site to take over site functions.

infomation relative to how the interview process was conducted during investigation 79-19.
It seems that Steve Grote B&R VP, testified j
that the interviews were " colored or biased".
I told him that I stand behind the report as written. That is, we reported what the inter-l viewees told us.
