Allegation Review Board Meeting
SUBJECT:
DIABLO CANYON ALLEGATION REVIEW BOARD An Allegation Review Board, comprised of the below listed individuals, was convened on December 6, 1985, to examine and disposition a number of allegations identified below.
A review of the allegations listed on the memo to John Martin, Regional Administrator, from Ron Meeks, 01, dated 0e/ U/85, including Allegation 1706, was conducted to ascertain the " technical" significance, if any, that warrants further investigation beyond the apparent " civil" issues of harassment, intimidation, etc. All seventy-seven of these were sorted into the four groups designated below. Allegations related to categories I and II were examined at this particular board meeting. Categories III and IV will be examined later.
I.
Document Control - 14.
III.
Intimidation - 44 II.
Procedural - 12 IV.
Other - 7 1.
DOCUMENT CONTROL Reconstruction, recreating, compiling or revising documents related to plant construction.
A.
ATS RV-84-A-062,~ Allegation Nos. 0419 and 0436, and ATS RV-84-A-064, Allegation No. 0782, 0996, and 1025 Allegation Nos. 0419, 0436, 0782, 1025 are all related to the same incident - ie.
The alleger observed an inspector entering initials other than his own, on documents related to inspections of shear lugs that were conducted by someone else. This was a G. F. Atkinson, Inspector, and it was to have occurred in 1978.
A review of source documents has revealed that these allegations are the same as Allegations 0783 and 0784 which were addressed by the licensee in its letters DCL-84-243 dated June 29, 1984 and DCL-84-328 dated October 18, 1984. The licensee's responses to.
these allegations have been examined. It is concluded that the preparation and review of quality assurance records were conducted in accordance with established procedures, and there was no falsification in the " clean up" of documentation, as alleged.
ALLEGATIONS CLOSED.

B.
ATS RV-84-A-062, Allegation No. 0437 The source document revealed that the alleged condition was discovered and corrected by the alleger and by itself does not establish a widespread practice. No further action is required.

C.
ATS RV-84-A-062, Allegation 0395; ATS RV-84-A-064, Allegation 0774' The source documents lacked the specificity needed to conduct further review of the allegations. In this case, the alleger was
'7 conducting a documented audit of vault records, and there is no i
evidence that the audit was not completed through corrective actions by the licensee. Inspections by the Region have consistently shown l
the licensee / contractors here properly addressed audit findings.

The allegation does not warrant further inspection effort.

j D.
ATS RV-84-A-064, Allegations 0779, 0780 and 0997.
These allegations relate to the quality of work performed by a specific Q.C. inspector. The licensee reinspected all inspection l
work accomplished by the inspector in question except where access was limited. The technical significance of these allegations has been adequately addressed by the inspection conducted for #0995 l
and reported in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-275/85-27, dated j
07/19/85. No further action is required. ALLEGATIONS CLOSED.

{
The identities of the welders on the yiping process sheets were j
alleged to have been changed to be consistent with rod requisition records. The source document lacks the specificity necessary to
}
conduct further review of these allegations. However,
.f inconsistencies between the process sheet.and the rod requisition-j sheet are to be expected since, for multi-pass welds, only the first j
j five and last pass welders are required to be identified cn the t
process sheet. Additional safety assurance is derived from the favorable results of the Internal Technical Review and Independent i
j Design Verification Programs conducted by the staff and its i
contractors. -Inspections of the documentation and hardware associated with over 740 piping supports and rupture restraints for j
safety related systems in both units were conducted without any l
significant documentation irregularities (references 50-275/84-54 l
and 85-29, and.50-323/84-22 and 85-26). Further inspections would l
not be very meaningful. These allegations are considered CLOSED.

[
i The source document lacks the specificity to conduct an adequate
{
review of thefalleged incident. The' safety significance is-related i
to the functional integrity of the diesel generator sets or, more specifically, their lube oil pumps. Subsequent testing of the D-G l
sets during the Pre-Operational. Testing Program has been completed r
and demonstrates'their reliability as~ documented in staff reports ~
Nos. 50-275/85-25 and 50-323/85-22. - Furthermore, the licensee has i
j
. continued to' test the D-G's in compliance with the technical'
}
specifications. This allegation-is CLOSED.

II PROCEDURAL ACTION OR INACTION ON THE PART OF THE LICENSEE CCNTRARY TO ESTABLISHED PRACTICE A.
ATS RV-84-A-064, ALLEGATIONS 0757, 0910 AND 0913 ATS RV-84-A-115, ALLEGATION 1617 These potential allegations, imply that various forms of intimidation would be applied by management if instructions contrary to established procedures were not followed. The source documents lacked sufficient specificity to identify any wrong doing or significant technical issues. ALLEGATIONS CLOSED.
B.
ATS RV-84-A-064, ALLEGATIONS 804, 1060 These allegations regarding limitations imposed upon inspectors in their use of Hold Tags are similar to allegation #279 which was addressed in NRC Report 50-275/84-11 and 50-323/84-11, dated July 8, 1984. No further action is warranted. ALLEGATIONS CLOSED.
C.
ATS RV-84-A-114, ALLEGATION 1539 The technical issue related to this allegation was the qualification of the H. P. Foley welders to weld 3/16" diameter instrumentation tubing. Resolution of this issue can be found in the response to allegation #139 (reference Safety Evaluation Report NUREG 0675, Supplement 22, A.4-139.1), and allegation #1538 (see NRC Inspection Report No. 50-275/84-42). Irreepective, the Board does not perceive the alleged requirement for QC inspectors to sign an affidavit to be an intimidation issue. ALLEGATION CLOSED.

"LLEGATION 0407; RV-84-A-071, ALLEGATION 1303; RV-84-A-091, ALLEGATION 1455; and RV-84-A-115, ALLEGATION 1589.
These are all related to actions or inactions by the licensee involving procedures, documentation or hardware, perceived by the alleger to be contrary to established standards but with insufficient specificity to support an investigation and must therefore9e CLOSED.
