l MEMORANDUM FOR: Edward G. Greenman, Director, Division of Reactor Projects FROM: Richard C. Knop, Chief, Reactor Projects Branch 3

SUBJECT:

ALLEGATION TEAM INSPECTION FOR CLOSURE l t

Reference:

Memo from C. J. Paperiello to Division Directors dated l March 23,1988, titled "Allegation Closure", j i

I have reviewed the referenced memo and have the following comments: 1 i

1. In general other than allegations at Femi and Davis-Besse, the i significance of the allegations are low and do not warrant imediate review f and closure, i

2. Of the a6 allegations for Branch 3 plants (excluding chilling effect at Davis-Besse) 13 are assigned to O! and we have no control over them. E

3. Some allegations such as (RIII-87-A-0126 followup by Vendor Branch),

(RIII-84-A-0010 RIII-86-A-0159 awaiting DOL) are not within RIII control.

4. Most allegations have been worked to some extent and reassigning to a Task Force would cause redundancy of review. j

5. The only sites where assistance could be useful at this time is Femi }

2 and Davis-Besse. Headquarters (QAP) is following some of the Fermi 2  ;

allegations. Jim McComick-Barger is slated to review the QC wars allegations  !

at Davis-Besse.

I would be somewhat concerned if Grobe and Weil were asked to push to get allegations resolved. This seems like this would be in conflict with tile role  !

they now have (as QC) to ensure that allegations are not closed until all l elements are completed.  !

Edward G. Greenman -2 APR 0 61999 In summary I do not believe a task force is needed. If we want to reduce allegation closure time, DRP could use manpower at femi 2 and Davis-Besse.
