ALLECAT1055 CONCEFNIPC QC VELDIN'; INSPECTION AT CATAV3A NUCLEAR SIAIION (Case No. 2G022)

I have cc=pleted cy review of the Duke Fever Cc:~;any (DPC) task force ef fort addressing the subject concerns.

My investiEation has included a review of each concern and resultant evaluation and recomendations.

In addition I interviewed 9 QA/QC supervisors and 19 QC velding inspectors.

These personnel included all these QA/QC personnel who had expressed or been involved with concerns. A list of persons interviewed is attached as Enclosure (1).

I have reported this inspection effort in NRC Report Nos.

I13/62-21, 414/52-19, 413/82-32, 414/82-30, 413/82-33, and 414/82-31.

DPC has retained detailed records of the task force investiEation which will be retained by DFC and =ade available for any further review that we dec=

necessary.

My conclusion is that the DPC investigation was co=plete and that resultant recomendctions and actions taken or planned appear adequate to address the concerns.

I discussed both harass =ent and falsification during the interview process. Although there appear to have been occasional disagreemerts between QC and craf t personnel, I conclude that harass =ent is not a legiticate concern at Catsuba.

I further conclude that falsification is not a concern at Catauba.

So=e inspectors have signed for ite=s which they did not agree were acceptable.

However, they did so at the, direction of a supervisor who had made an honest judge =ent that the ite= vas acceptable.

DPC has now ingle =ented a policy preventing so=eone signing for an item which he/she dees not agree is acceptable.

M/ reco=endation is that we consider Case No. 20022 closed.
