Docket No. 50-443

Employee's Legal Project

ATTN: Ms. Sharon Tracy

P. O. Box 633

Amesbury, Massachusetts 01913

Dear Ms. Tracy:

This refers to the meeting between you and Mr. D. Richardson, of the Employee's

Legal Project, and Mr. J. P. Outr and other members of the NRC staff on .

December 29, 1987. The purpose of the meeting was to address your comments in

Enclosure 1 and answer any additional questions resulting from your review of

the NRC Inspection Reports 50-443/86-52 and 87-07 which deal with a series of

allegations presented by your group regarding construction practices at the

Seabrook Nuclear Power Station.

.

During the meeting, we stated that the NRC considers the issues discussed in

'

the foregoing inspection reports to be closed, _except that the unresolved items

will be pursued until they are resolved to the satisfaction of the agency.

Two questions that were unanswered during the meeting by the NRC staff will be '

researched and an appropriate response provided to you. These questions are

as follows:

(1) Is the reactor coolant pump acceptab1'y level af ter heatup of the system .

since an engineering change resulted in the base of one support being

'

repositioned. -

(2) The CBA drawings made by Mr. Richardson were marked non-seismic, non-

nuclear; however, the NRC inspection report stated the system was seismic

category I, ANSI Safety Class 3. The question is, was the original

information provided to Mr. Richardson inaccurate? Mr. Richardson will

provide the NRC with copies of the alleged dre. wings.  !

A new allegation was presented by Mr. Richardson during the discussions dealing

with the emergency feedwater system. He alleges that there is a weldolet

affixed to an 8"-10" diameter piping elbow in the emergency feed pump room that

has the wrong taper and a counterfeit identification numt er s::ribed on it. The

NRC will process this allegation through its normal procedures.

The allegations provided to the NRC during the April 20, 1987, meeting that

were not addressed in the above inspection reports will be dealt with in

,

i

accordance with NRC policy. That policy and the applicable NRC Manual Chapter

on the "Management of Allegations" prescribe that allegations may be closed

af ter initial inquiry, if the allegation is too vague or general in nature to i

permit further followup. '

! We requested additional information on several allegations in a May 27, 1987  !

. letter to you. The ELP partial response in Enclosure 2, as well as the final l

l response to NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-443/87-07, have been reviewed  !

and will be considered in the determination of those issues requiring -followup

-

t

i

inspection. For those issues which your letters provided neither additional  !

informt., tion nor the answers to the NRC questions, we assume that the sources j

are unavailable or unable to give sufficient specific details to allow rea-  ;

l. sonable inspections to be performed to substantiate the allegations. Because  ;

of the lack of specificity, we will not pursue those issues further.  ;

'

-

-

!

Summaries of the NRC Region I review of ELP allegations, including the basis  :

for the disposition of closed allegations and the status of open items will be  !

included in future routine NRC resident inspector reports.

'

Lastly, Enclosures 4 and 5 describe the various arrangements we made regarding

3 the purpose and schedule for the December 29, 1987 meeting. As we have done

previously with our initial correspondence, we will place this letter and the- '

! enclosures in tne Public Cocument Room, as well as provide them to the normal  !

i

distribution list for Seabrook. We trust that this meeting has answered your  :

cutstanding questions. We thank you for your cooperation and time, i
