SYN 0PSIS

This investigation was initiated after the completion of case A4-85-005,

wherein the Kansas Gas and Electric (KG&E) Quality First (Q1) investigative

program at Wolf Creek was reviewed for adequacy. This case was initially

investigated by the Q1 office and was selected for further examination by OI to

determine the adequacy of the Q1 investigation due to the appearance of unde-

veloped leads and questionable findings. An alleger initially reported to the

Q1 organization that he had personally witnessed numerous Wolf Creek employees,

includihg a quality engineering (QE) supervisor, using marijuana and/or cocaine

-

at an off-site residence. The Q1 investigation entailed a local police record

check of the individuals in question. The allegations were subsequently closed

and evaluated as unsubstantiated by Q1.

The OI investigation disclosed that an alleger had advised the Q1 organization

that he had actually witnessed three Daniel International Corporation (DIC)

quality engineers and one DIC quality engineering supervisor use cocaine at an

off-site residence. OI also discovered that the alleger provided Q1 the

identity of three possible witnesses who could verify his allegations. 01

investigation revealed that this drug investigation had not been referred to

'

site security for disposition and that the case was prematurely and improperly

'

closed at the direction of KG&E management over the objection of the Q1 investi-

gative supervisor. A national police records check of the DIC QE Supervisor in

question revealed one arrest, during April 1974, for a misdemeanor drug

violation in New York. It is 01's conclusion that the Q1 investigation was not

conducted in a manner that would meet acceptable investigative standards of the

-

NRC regarding completeness and adequacy.

No further 01 investigation is anticipated unless further investigation is

,' requested subsequent to a technical analysis of the safety significance of the

information developed during this investigation.
