Allegation Cateoory:
QA/QC 7, QA Implementation 2.
Allegation Number: AQ-9 3.
Characterization: It is alleged that a quality assurance (QA) employee was in jail periodically, and that any QA records supposedly generated by that employee on those dates would have been falsified.
4.
Assessment of Safety Significance:
This allegatinn was previously investi-gated by NRC Region IV (RIV) and was not substcotiated (RIV Inspection Report 50-445/79-10, July 5,'1979).
The NRC Technical Review Team (TRT) reopened the issue by reviewing the RIV investigation and by interviewing the individual involved, who admitted to being arrested several times in 1975 and 1976 in Fort Worth for drunk driving.
He also stated that the Fort Worth Police Department arranged his court appearances or detention periods for off shift hours so as not to interfere with his work and issued him an necupational driver's license.
This information was corroborated by the Region IV investigation of law enforcement records and Brown & Root payroll data. The Region IV staff also reviewed applicable QA records for the period in question for evidence that the QA employee might have per-formed a test or made an observation that could have been made only during his absence.
There was no evidence that this occurred.
5.
Conclusion and Staff Positio.is: This allegation was not substantiated, either by the TRT review or by a previous NRC iiivestigation.
The AQ-9 concern came from an anonymous source; therefore, no closecut interview was conducted.
