Subject:
Alleger Feedback Action Items (Reply to attach-menti).
Action items listed in Attachment II have been assigned numbers 1 through.11.
Resolution of these items by the QA/QC Group is as follows:
- 1. The alleger stated that additional Document Control Center stamps were being used by other groups.
The TRT QA/QC Group does not find it necessary to track down other stamps. We have already. determined that TUEC used the stamps in an uncontrolled manner without benefit of procedural direction (AQ-19).
Additional examples of stamps being used will not change our finding..
No action required.
- 2. Alleger asked for a total number of documents examined and in what time frame.
The TRT QA/QC Group feels that SSER AQ-19 will address the subject adequately and will stand on its own. A separate total count and time frame is not necessary.
No action required.
- 3. In regards to QC training and qualification, the Alleger requested the NRC talk to two specific people. The Alleger stated he/she would locate the people. The Alleger has not located the people or contacted the QA/QC Group. When onsite, the QA/QC Group attempted to contact one of the subject people. The TRT was informed by staff that the person was not available, j3 660s33

The QA/QC Group notes that the original concern was not misinterpret .
Trending was never mentioned in any of the Alleger's previous testimony.
The QA/QC Group notes that only problems and discrepancies are trended in order to obtain correction action. Normal activities of upgrading material, per procedure, would not require trending.
The QA/QC Group feels that SSER AQ-5 addresses the matter of upgrading material adequately, and that trending in general will be adequately addressed in Executive Summary.
No action required.
- 7. The Alleger asked the TRT if the NCRs in regard to tubing traceability and color coding were reviewed.
The QA/QC Group has detemined that SSER AQ-40 addresses the subject of tubing color coding and traceability adequately. The QA/QC Group notes that CMC was issued that solved TUEC's tubing traceability problems (not NCRs).
The Alleger also requested who the TRT talked with onsite in regard to tubing traceability. The QA/QC Group considers thi:: information as private.
The QA/QC Group does not consider it necessary to chase down any more infonnation on tubing color coding traceability as SSER AQ-40 stands alone and is adequate.

- 8. The Alleger asked the question if it was necessary to maintain trace-ability on weld filler material on non-ASME welds - specifically the fuel pool liner welds.
The QA/QC Group notes that this question has been addressed by the Piping /'
Mechanical Group SSERs.
The QA/QC Group notes that 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VIII, requires traceability of all safety-related material, not just AMSE.
Action required: Piping / Mechanical Group owes the A11eger an answer.
- 9. Original allegation was that safety-related eye bolts were fabricated without any instructions or documentation. QA/QC SSER AQ-77 addressed this allegation in its entirety. No specific examples were found, although the TRf did conclude that the fabrication shop was manufacturing parts without drawings and instructions. The A11eger now states he/she can point'out a specific example if allowed onsite. The QA/QC Group feels that the A11eger may be confused with the use of non-safety threaded rod installed in the plant.
The QA/QC Group position is that a specific example is not needed at this time since the SSER did find a generic problem with the fabrication shop.
The QA/QC Group feels the SSER may be released as is, but that a phase 2 followup 'with the A11eger is required. Any ncteworthy additional infoma-tion will be added in an SSER Supplement.
No action required at this time. Future A11eger contact recomended.
- 10. Alleger requested the numbers of 14 procedures that the Licensee had revised. The TRT QA/QC Group does not have a record of these procedure numbers as 13 had nothing to do with the original allegation of changes required of ASME documentation review. SSER AQ-116 adequately addresses the original allegation in regards to Procedure CP-QAP-12.1.
No action required. The QA/QC Group cannot support the A11eger's request.
11A. A11eger stated he/she had an IR with a forged signature that he/she would provide to the NRC. Mr. Zudans of NRC stated he would pick it up the following day.

11 ~ A. Yes. And I told the:n that that was another-allegation I wanted to .
12 make to them - that they should investigate the NRC itself. I specifically g told them that I did not want the NRC Resident Inspector out there told about 14 my allegations before they actually checked out the' allegations thee.selves.
15 Q. And was Mr. Taylor told about your allegations before the investigators 16 checked out your allegations?
17 A. Yes. When Mr. Driskill atertochec:}into 18 further allegations, I asked him if he told anybody in advance that he was 19 coming to the plant. He stated that he had to tell Mr. Taylor that he was 20 ccming. I asked him if he told Mr. Taylor anything that I had told nim (Mr.
21 Oriskill) . He said that he had to tell Mr. Taylor kind of what was going on.

[& >y;; of the statement. I'm not sure that it's clear from the statement what I 4 meant about the hole in the ficor. I can't read some portions of the statement 5 because they've been blacked out.

lf ' 14 A. On CASE Exhibit 6660-6, under Item 2, " Investigation of Allegation,
' 15 Allegation No.1," it states " Numerous pipe supports were fabricated utilizing
} 16 weave welds which are prohibited by procedure." There is one item referred
- 17 to in the " sanitized" notes which should be clarified. Where it stated that 18 '"deave welding violate the C-10 & A-10 welding procedures, as I knew it,"
19 C-10 and A-10 are actually codes for a welding process. The welding procedures I 20 for the C-10 and A-10 welding process ccdes are iWilf,11065, and 10046.
