i SUMERY In April 1982, a representative of the USNRC Atomic Safety and Licensing Bo'ard (ASLB)wascontactedbyanintervenor%fthePaloVerdeInterventionFund(PVIF).
The intervenor related that an electrician (identity not provided) who was-employed by the Bechtel Power Corportion (SPC) at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS), Arizona, had contacted the intervenor and provided information regarding serious problems with the electrical work at PVNGS.
By letter dated May 11, 1982, the Arizona Public Service Company (APS) requested the Chairman of the.NRC to initiate an investigation of these same allegations about deficiencies in the electrical systems at PVNGS.
In a letter dated May 24, 1982, an attorney for the PVIF advised the Chairman, NRC, (a) of filing a new motion to the ASLB on the basis of an affidavit from the electrician, and (b) of seeking an order protecting the electrii:ian who had received 'a death threat on his life. Thus, the "Intervenor's Motion for Leave to File New Contentions and for Independent Investigation" which included an affidavit from the electrician, and " Motion for Protective Order" were filed before the ASiB.
On May 26, 1982, the electrician (hereafter termed the a11eger) telephonically contacted an investigator with Region V, USNRC, and he was subsequently inter-viewed on June 1, 1982, at Scottsdale, Arizona.
In a voluntarily affirmed statement, the alleger set forth his concerns (hereafter termed allegations) addressing the following subjects:
1.
Improper documentation (falsification) of cable termination records (Termination Installation. Cards) 2:.
Improper splicing of quality class safety-related cables 3.
Start-up personnel not following cabla termination procedures 4.
Use of improper insulatich of high voltage terminations 5.
Use.of a one-bolt lug when a two-bolt lug was required 6.
Quality Control inspectors not properly trained or qualified for inspecting electrical installations 7.
Construction overriding Quality Control 8.
Repeated high potential testing on the same cable Y
(
(
9.
Omission of the use of 0-Rings
- 10. Use of a cinder block wall in the diesel generator area
- 11. Damaged conduit from drilling had not been repaired
- 12. Use of improper cable 13.
Welding allegation that Lincoln welding rod rated at 300 psi being used on steam lines rated at~ 850 psi 14.
Inadequate number of x-ray inspections of cable splices 15.
Possible radiation overdose of two electricians by radiography 16 Improper changing of Unistrut brackets for electrical trays and pipe supports in Unit 2
- 17. Use of controlled drugs on site An investigation was initiated at the direction of the Director of Enforcement and Investigations, Region V, to determine the validity of the allegations.
On July 19, 1982, the Office of Investigations (0I) was established within the NRC, and as a result the investigative responsibility and the investigators who were assigned to the case were reassigned to the Office of Investigations.
It was subsequently determined that Allegations numbered 2 through 14 and 16 were issues of a technical nature, and these allegations were referred on i
l,,
March 30, 1983, to the NRC Regional Administrator, Region V, for appropriate l
action. Further, the technical aspects associated with the alleger's concerns about the falsified Termination Installation Cards (TICS) in Allegation No. I were also referred to NRC Region V for appropriate action.
l In respect to Allegation No.15, the a11eger expressed concern over the lack of action by the licensee and lack of dissemination of information regarding the possible radiation exposure of two electriciens as a result of radiography.
The NRC..does not have jurisdiction'over this incident since the state of Arizona is an " agreement state" in accordance with Section 274, Atomic Energy Act, and it regulates radiograph operations.within that state.
It was determined that the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA) had conducted an investigation into the matter. ARRA confirmed that one electrician was not exposed to radia-tion by reason of not being in the area, and the other electrician did not receive a dose limit which exceeded that for his occupational speciality. The ARRA advised the second electrician of the results of their inquiry by letter
(
(
dated May 4, 1982. An NRC Radiation Specialist reviewed the ARRA findings and concurred in the ARRA evaluation of the incident. No further investigative effort was conducted by the NRC regarding Allegation No. 15.
As an unrelated concern, in Allegation No.17 the alleger provided information regarding the possible use of alcoholic beverages and controlled drugs (such as hashish, marijuana, cocaine, etc.) on the Palo Verde site. He also claimed that the use of rirugs and alcohol occurred on this site as it did on any other
~
i construction site within the United States. The alleger was advised that the NRC was concerned with the practice of such illicit activities on a nuclear construction site; however, the NRC had no jurisdiction in such matters since they are the responsibility of the local law enforcement agency in the area in which a plant is located. Therefore, in accordance with current NRC practices, all available infomation regarding drugs was provided to the licensee, APS, for appropriate action.
No further action was taken by the Office of Investi-gations concerning Allegation No. 17.
The Office of Investigations Field Office, Region V, retained the investigation into the alleged falsification of TICS'(Allegation No. 1) which the a11eger described as " improper documentation of cable termination records." The alleger explained that during his period of employment at the PVNGS, he was required to sign TICS. indicating he performed the work when in fact he did not. He said it was common practice for other electricians in his discipline to be similarly directed. He identified seven other electricians who were reportedly directed by 8PC management to falsely sign TICS indicating they had performed the termi-nations. The a11eger claimed there were instances in which he and the other electricians, when ordered to sign TICS for work they did not do, were not requested to verify the work had been properly performed.
In addition, the alleger was not sure that the crimp tool number (a calibrated tool) shown on i
the TICS was for the tool used to p'erform the terminations.
The alleger asserted that he wrote the letters "UP" in the lower left hand corner of some of the cards near his signature to indicate that the TICS were signed "und:r protest." Some other electricians reportedly told the alleger that they, too, put such a notation or other identifying mark in the lower left l
.1/
(
i' hand corner of the form to indicate they had also signed cards for terminations they had not performed.
The alleger stated,he signed about,a dozen cards after he was,q11egedly threat-j, ened by his supervision to either sign them or get another job. He identified the Superintendent and the General For.esan for Terminations as the persons primarily responsible for the falsification of the TICS. The alleger estimated there were 250 to 300 falsified TICS, which incorporated the work of five crews over the period from 1981 to 1982.
There are 46,202 electrical terminations in Unit 1 of which 12,626 are Class Q nuclear safety-related installations.
The completed TICS for Class Q nuclear safety-related terminations were reviewed to identify any inconsistencies or distinguishing marks on the TICS as alleged. Of the estimated 7,000 to 8,000 Class Q nuclear safety-related TICS examined,127 cards bore the alleger's signature in the " installed by" position in the lower left hand corner of the card. Of these 127 cards, only one card for termination IESI22ACIRE2 was affixed with the symbol "UP" in the lower left corner.
During the review, handwriting exemplars of the alleger were utilized, and no obvious questionable signatures of the alleger were identified.
l
+
Of fourteen electricians interviewed, eight testified under oath that they were asked or directed, in one way or another, by their supervisors to sign the TICS for work they had not done. There was nothing developed during the investiga-tion to substantiate the issue that any electricians, other than the a11eger, had annotated a TIC _ with an identifying mark to reflect that the termination had not actually been performed by the electrician or the card was signed "under protest." However, seven of the eight electricians who admitted being asked to sign the TICS, acknowledged they had signed the TICS without retermi-nating the installation.
Three electrical foremen were interviewed under oath.
One stated that he sometimes gave duplicate TICS that were needed to be completed to the first electrician that came along.
Another foreman conceded that electricians may have been directed to sign TICS in the manner described for work they had not terminated; however, he denied being aware of any specific foreman who had w
\\
~' ~
(
actually given such directions. The third foreman disclaimed knowledge of the practice.
. The General, Foreman was interviewed under oath,and provided, a signed sworn statement in which he stated that he told electricians (wiremen) to complete TICS for work which had been done by other wiremen. He related there were less than six wiremen under his supervision':who signed off TJCs under protest for work they had not perfomed. He stated he remembered telling the a11eger to sign off dupiteate TICS for work the alleger had not perfc9med. However, he could not estimate the number of times he requested the alliger to sign off incomplete TICS. He stated the alleger protested possioly three times, but the General Foreman claimed he could not recall if the alleger s40ed off the cards after expressing his objections. The General Foreman declaru N: could not recall threatening the alleger with the loss of his job if hs refused to sign the TICS for work he did not do. He did state, however, that he may have told the a11eger something to the effect that he would fire him for "fsiling to follow orders." The General Foreman explained this threat was commonly used as a joke on a daily basis with the work crews.
The General Foreman advised there wre about a dozen instances during 1981 in which his Superintendent personally directed him to complete approximately one dozen TICS for work he (the General Foreman) did not perfom. The General Foreman stated he did not recall if any of the TICS he signed involved nuclear safety-related terminations. He also estimated that the Superintendent had personally. directed other wiremen to sign off TICS about a dozen times for work the wiremen had not performed.
The Superintendent was interviewed under oath and denied the statements made by the General Foreman and the alleger'that he directed them, or any electrician, to sign TICS for work they had not performed. The Superintendent voluntarily executedaswornstatementsettingforthhiscommentsdocumentingthisdenial.
The NRC Enforcement Officer for Region V advised that the recording of the name of the electrician (the alleger) and the crisp tool number on the TIC was required by the contractor's work procedure although it was not required by any code, standard, or other regulation governing the work.
The Region V staff
(
(
contends, however, that the record is required b.y a procedure governing quality related activities, and therefore binding pursuant to Appendix 8, 10 CFR Part 50, even though other record are available that establish the adequacy of the quality of the terminations.
'No further investigative effort regarding Allegation No 1 is warranted by "the Office of Investigations; and this investigation is closed.

Backaround The Palo Verde Nuclear' Generating Station (PVNGS) consists of three nuclear
. power units under construction. PVNGS is located in the desert region 36 miles west of the western boundary of Phoenix, Arizcna. The construction permits were issued to the Arizona Public Service Company (APS) by the U.S. Nuclear Regdla-tory Commission (NRC) for PVNGS-1, 2, 'and 3 on May 25,1976. According to the NRC Nuclear Power Plants Construction Status Report. Data as of June 30. 1982 (NUREG-0030. Vol. 6. No. 2) for Palo Verde Unit-1, the current estimated percent construction complete is 96%. APS' current estimated fuel loading date is shown l
as the latter part of August 1983. Sechtel Power Corporation (BPC) is the architect engineer and constructor for these three pressure water reactor plants.
The start date for the electrical terminations in Unit I was August 1979.
As of June 30, 1982, APS estimated the electrical terminations were 82% complete.
APS' estimated completion date for the electrical terminations was March 1983.
During the latter part of May 1982 the NRC learned that an intervenor associated with the Palo Verde Intervention Fund had been contacted by an electrician who had worked for the BPC at the PVNGS. The electrician reportedly had told the intervenor about concerns he had involving electrical work done at the PVNGS.
Upon receiving this information, the Region V project inspector for PVNGS con-tacted the intervenor's legal counsel to obtain details of the alleger's con-cerns. The attorney advised that since there had been a death threat on the man's life, she would not provide any information because it could result in the identification of the alleger.
By letter dated May 24, 1982 (Attachment 1) to the Chairman, NRC, the attorney advised of a death threat against the eorker and the same day placed the " Inter-venor's Motion for Leave to File New Contentions and For Independent Investiga-tion" Ee~ fore the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) (Attachment 2).
This motion contained two new contention,s based upon disclosures from the alleger:
1) the electrical systems in the plant have not been constructed properly so as to ensure the protection of the public health and safety, and 2) internal reports about electrical work have been falsified.
2
(
l In addition, a " Motion for Protective Order" (Attachment 3) was filed before I-1 the ASLS to protect the worker who had signed the affidavit providing the basis l
for the contentions. The intervenor also provided the ASL8 a copy of the aff t-davi,t dated May 17, 1982 of the alleger, setting forth his allegations about i
the electrical installations at the PVNGS (Attachment 4).
On May 26,1982, the a11eDer telephonically contacted an NRC Region V investi-gator at his residence and discussed his allegations. This resulted in the initiation of an investigation by the RV Enforcement and Investigations Staff to determine the validity,of the allegations.
On June 1,1982, the alleger was interviewed in Scottsdale, Arizona. On June 2, 1982, the alleger voluntarily executed a signed, affirmed statement (Attach-ment 5) setting forth in detail his 17 allegations.- These allegations are listed subsequently in this Report of Investigation (ROI).
J j
On July 19, 1982, the NRC Office of Investigations (01) was formed in the NRC and the investigators assigned to this investigation were reassigned to 01.
Allegations numbered 2 through 14 and 16 were determined to be issues of a technical nature and were referred on March 30, 1983 to the Regional Adminis-trator, Region V, NRC, for appropriate action. The OI Field Office, Region V, retained the investigation of the alleged falsification of Termination Instal-lation Cards (TICS), Allegation 1, which the alleger categorized as " improper documentation of cable temination records." The technical aspects associated with the alleger's concerns about falsified TICS were also referred to NRC Region V for appropriate action.
As subsequently explained in this ROI, Alle-gations No. 15 and 17 are not within the jurisdiction of the NRC.
l TICS are part of a tracking systwdesigned by BPC to record (1) the pertinent data concerning the installation of each electrical termination such as the name of the installing electrician, his badge number, date of the installation, his crisp tool number, location of the termination, system involved, etc., and (2) the reverse side of the TIC entitled the "Temination Inspection Report" reflects the identity of the Quality Control Inspector and the dates of his inspections. All of the infomation from these cards is entered into a computer.
There are 46,202 electrical terminations in Unit-1.
Of these, there are 12,626 safety-related (Class Q) teminations.

Interview and Contacts with Robert D. GUNDERSON. Jr.. Former Journeyman Electrician for Bechtel Power Corooration (BPC) at Unit-1. Palo Verde Nuclear Generatino Station (Confidentiality Reauested) i On May 26,1982 at 7:08 a.s, Robert D. GUNDERSON Jr., who identified himself
- as a former Journeyman Electrician for the BPC at Unit-1, PVNGS, telephonic
- ally contacted NRC Investigator Owen C. SHA'CKLETON Jr. at his residence. GUNDERSON advised he was the electrician who had given his concerns on PVNGS to the Palo l
Verde Intervention Fund. He said his identity had been protected because of a t
threat on his life. At t!}is time, GUNDERSON furnished many of his concerns to SHACKLETON.
On June 1,1982 GUNDERSON was interviewed in Scottsdale, Arizona, by John 0.
ELIN, Reactor Inspector (Electrical Engineer), Region V, and NRC Investigators Eugene J. POWER and SHACKLETON.
i On June 2,1982, GUNDERSON voluntarily gave an affirmed statement (Attachment 5) setting forth his allegations addressing the following subjects:
1.
Improper documentation (falsification) of cable temination records (Termination Installation Cards) 2.
Improper splicing of quality class safety-related cables

Use of controlled drugs on site GUNDERSON advised he was 40 years old and had been in the electrical trade for over 19 years.
He said he had worked at the PVNGS for BPC for 26 months as a high voltage terminator doing high voltage splicing and stress cones.
He stated he left on March 5, 1982 because he is a " traveler" and the local union had asked the " travelers" to leave so the local union members could have the jobs.
(The term " traveler" means the person belongs to a union local other than the union local where he is working).
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: The time records for BPC at the PVNGS show that GUNDERSON was employed at that site from 6/11/79 through 8/23/79 and from 4/7/80 through 3/4/82.
Atthebeginningoftheinterview,GUNDERS0fdr$r?
equested anonymity because he J alo ne did not want tn re+ abb khj[ led" in the industry.
tie 3Tattrd he waC g
presently unemployed and trying to obtain work in Las Vegas, Nevada.
GUNDERSON advised his work experience in other nuclear related jobs. included:
about five months for BPC at the Ouane Arnold Energy Center in Iowa; one week in maintenance for BPC at the Fart Flux Test Facility, Hanford Reservation; abcut two months fo't Jensen Elec+.ric on the Robot Mining Machine for the Atomic Energy Commission at Site 200, Hanford Reservation; and one month for the H. P.'-Foley Electric Company at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.
GUNDERS'ON's resume is included with his statement (Attachment 5).
SUNDERSON advised that he received a telephone call at his residence at dMC. /MN[ b5NI CWC+v W7VW.h [T March 29, 1982 at approximately 7:03 or 7:05 p.m.
He advised the caller did not identify himself, but just said, "I'm going to kill you."
He said the caller then started laughing and hung up.
He described the voice as that of a young man in his 20s or 30s. He went on to say this call came after he had his first meeting with Patricia Lee HOURIHAN and Jill MORRISION, Intervenors from O
the Palo Verde Intervention fund.
(The Palo Verde Intervention Fund, 6413 South C
5
. _ =. -
(
26th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85040, identifies itself as a project of the South-west Research and Information Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico.) He said he had met with these.intervenors four or five times and had given them a list of his concerns and observations about the PVNGS. He stated he initially was afraid to recontact HOURIHAN since he received the threat after he had talked to her.
' and he didn't know whether or not there was some connection.He advised that I
all his fellow workers knew about his concerns at Palo Verde as he was very open about expressing his opinions. He noted'his telephone number is list'ed in the phone book, so it would be easy for anyone to find his telephone number.
He stated he thought this. call was just some prank because he did not recognize I
t the voice.
~
GUNDERSON advised that on March 31, 1982, he received a second strange telephone
~
call during the day. He said there was no voice, just someone breathing.
He listened momentarily and then hung up. He stated a third strange call was also received during a day when he was home alone, between March 31 and April 3, 1982.
He related that when he answered the telephone on this occasion, there was no conversation.
GUNDERSON allowed the two calls with no voice could have been " wrong numbers,"
and said he felt this was the case as no one had personally threatened him.
{
He remarked that anybody who knows him would know he is "very heavy into fire-arms." He said he had biten a deputy sheriff for 2-1/2 years in Iowa and con-sidered himself to be a good shot with a gun. He stated, "So I don't see how they would logically figure they were going to beat me to the punch." He advised he had no idea who might have made the calls. He further commented he did not have any problems with the union prior to his leaving.
He related that when the union came to him and asked him to leave his job at the PVNGS because he was,,a " traveler," he did so witticut giving them any resistance.
He advised that he has neither rece,ived any additional threatening calls nor
. had any threatening contacts from anyone. He stated that he was aware from his own law enforcement experience that there isn't anything the police can do about anonymous telephone calls, and therefore he did not advise the police of these calls.

INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: The investigators 6dvised GUNDERSON that NRC does not have investigative jurisdiction regarding threats agsinat a person's life and that it would tg within the jurtsdiction of the appropriate state or local law enforceme9t agency. GUNDERSON stated he was aware of this information.
It is further noted t.het the above telephone calls received by GUNDERSCN predated GUNDERSON's initial contact with the NRC.
~
On June 1,1982 during his interview, 5UNDERSON provided information of con-trolled drugs on site (Allegation Number 17). GUNDERSON stated he had heard and knew that different drugs, such as hashish, marijuana, cocaine, " black i
beauties" (amphetamines),,and "whatever you want" are on site. He stated t',e use of controlled dregs and alcoholic beverages occurs at Palo Verde as it does at other construction sites in the U.S.
He then provided additional details regarding the illegal use of controlled substances.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: The investigation of controlled substances on PVNGS is not withb. the jurisdiction of the USHRC. ThW2fe e, on August 2, 1982, the information concernir.g the alleged use of controlled drugs at Palo Verde was furnished tt. Donald B. FASNACHT, Nuclear Construction Manager for APS, in accordance with carrent NRC practice.
FASNACHT advised that APS's security department was working with local law enforcement personnel regarding the alleged drug traffic on the site.
Regarding Allegation Number 15, GUNDERSON advisad that around Christmas 1931, M and both electricians, lodged a cor. plaint over the possibility of receiving a radiation overdose and they were required to fill out a brief report for the Arizona Public Service (APS).
He said that l
was the last of any information they ever received concerning the incident.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: The NRC does not have jurisdiction over i
this incident since the state of Arizona is an " agreement state' in accordance with Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act, and it' regulates radiograph operations within its boundaries.
NRC investigators determined the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA) conducted an investigation into the matter. ARRA con-t firmed that one electrician wa's not exposed to radiation since he had not been in the area, and the other electrician did not receive a dose limit which exceeded that for his occupational speciality. The latter individual was notified by the ARRA of their findings by a letter dated May 4, 1982.
An NRC Radiation Specialist reviewed the results of the ARRA inquiry and concurred i
in the ARRA evaluation of the incident.
No further investigative effort was expended by the NRC concerning Allegation Nu;nber 15.

1 In GUNDERSON's affidavits, presented to the ASLB (item 9 of Attachment 4) and submitted to the NC Investigators (Allegation Number 1 of Attachment 5), he alleged the followi.ig violations of accepted procedures were comunitted or could have been committed by BPC employees working on electrical terminations at Unit-1. PVNGS:
1.
During his two year period of emp'loyment at the site, he was periodically required to sign Termination Installation Cards (TICS) for Quality Class terminations which he did not make.
2.
It was a common practice for other electricians in his discipline to'also sign TICS for Quality Class terminations they did not make.

Periodically, Hector R. NUNEZ, General Foreman, or Reginald E. JOHNSON, Superintendent, weuld prepare TICS for supposedly completed terminations en Quality Class safety-related systems and direct him (GUNDERSON) and other employees to sign the cards as the individual having performed the terminations. The electricans were not requested to verify the work had I
been properly performed.
4.
He was not sure that the crisp tool numbers shown on the TICS he (GUNDER-SON) signed were for the tools actually used to perform the terminations.
Either NUNEZ or JOHNSON told him (GUNDERSON) the reason for requiring I
signatures was that the originally completed cards had been lost by BPC engineering, and the person who performed the work was unknown or no longer at the site. Since he (GUNDERSON) did not want to sign these cards and subsequently be held responsible if there was a problem later, he placed the letters "UP" to reflect they were signed by him "under protest" in the lower left hand corner tf the card near his signature.
Some other empicyees, one of whom was Cary WALLENSTEIN (i.e., WALLERSTEIN) stated to him that they may have put a c, heck, star, or other identifying mark in the lower left hand corner of the form to indicate they had also signed cards for terminations that had not been performed by them.
GUNDERSON stated he was directed to sign two to three TICS in some weeks, and other times he flatly refused to sign them. GUNDERSON said he personally signed a total 8
(
(
of about a dozen cards. He averred he signed them when he was threatened by his supervision to either sign them or get another job.
.GUNDERSON estimated that 250 to 300 cards were involved covering the work of five crews over the period 1981 to 1982. GUNDERSON said the following individuals were directed to falsely sign the TICS indicating they had'-
performed the terminations: M, M Kenny ACUFF, Phil AQUAYO (i.e., AGUAYO), Forrest HALL, and Cary NALLERSTEIN.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: The above identified individuals were interviewed during this investigation with the exception of ACUFF who reportedly was living somewhere in California.
5.
GUNDERSON also reported he observed a couple of TICS which were already signed with his name, but it was not his signature. He stated he had no knowledge of who signed his name.
In addition to the above information, GUNDERSON advised that JOHNSON was the person having the falsified TICS made up and Hector R. NUNEZ, General Foreman, who reports to JOHNSON, was falsifying TICS by having.some of them signed off by electricians who didn't do the terminations. He said occasionally they had one or two TICS a week to sign off for work done by someone else and sometimes they wouldn't have any for a while. He added that when a bunch of cards were lost, JOHNSON or NUNEZ would have a stack of TICS to be signed off.
GUNDERSON claimed that on the cards he refused to sign, someone else signed his j
He stated he doesn't know who signed his name, although he assumed it name.
I was done by JOHNSON or one of the engineers under him.
e GUNDERSON stated the practice of having electricians sign off TICS for work they didn't do occurred the entire time he worked at PVNGS. He claimed he was required to sign off two or three extra cards each week. He said most of the electricians acquiesced and signed them. GUNDERSON stated he had seen the electricans whose names he gave above sign such TICS. He said NUNEZ would give some individuals, i.e., 6 and as many TICS as they I
9
(
C
{
wanted to sign. GUNDERSON stated, "Sometimes they would sign off ten damn cards, but it would make them look good." He added that they weren't told
~
there was anything wrong in signing these cards. He said JOHNSON and NUNEZ would tell,the wiremen (electricans) that.they were cards replacing those lost
- by engineering. GUNDERSON declared, "You can't sign off work you didn't do."
He identified another related situati n wherein a signature was required on a TIC for work that was already done; but the individual who had done the wor'k wasn't currently employed on site. GUNDERSON claimed that in this situation the men did not examine the termination to see if it was done properly; they simply signed the card.
GUNDERSON advised that the last time he was directed to sign off a TIC for work
~
j he did not perform was around the middle of February 1982. He said JOHNSON brought several TICS to him. He stated he thinks he signed a couple of them, but he didn't have to sign a couple of other TICS as they already had his name j
signed to them. He averred somebody else signed his name on those TICS.
GUNDERSON advised nobody could sign his name to match his signature because of the way he writes. He said he never prints his name. He advised he always writes in longhand.
In addition, he stated he stated he always puts his payroll number after his name. He advised he either signs " Robert D. GUNDERSON Jr." or "R. D. GUNDERSON Jr."
He said he always signs the "Jr." at the eno of his name.
He recalled he was working up at the 140 foot elevation in the Control Room henhesignedoffthelasttwoTICsgiventohimbyJOHNSON.
He stated he doesn't know exactly what the last few TICS which he signed applied to, as they only had numbers on them. He said all he knew for certain was that they were for terminations that he had not done.
GUNDERSQN advised that when manageaient first started having the electricians sign off the TICS for work the men had not done, he and Cary WALLERSTEIN didn't put any special marks on the cards they were directed to sign.
He recalled he and WALLERSTEIN were sitting and talking about it one day and he (GUNDERSON) remarked that they were going to get in a lot of trouble over signing the TICS.
He said he commented that they were going to have to do something to " cover their back door" because "they are going to get us."
He stated that at that time, he and WALLERSTEIN decided to start putting "UP" at the bottom of the i
10
. (
TICS they were ordered to sign for work done by someone else. He advised that some electricians put stars and some put check marks at the bottom of the cards they were forced to sign for work they didn't do.
GUNDERSON identified M as one of the electricians who put mark-
'ings on the TICS. He said he did not,know what markings M used on his cards. GUNDERSON said he knew Msigned a lot of TICS because he didn't He said he did not recall any additional information as to who indicated care.
what markings they were going to use. He explained they talked it over with a lot of different people; consequently, he doesn't recall who indicated they would mark their ca'rds. He added that WALLERSTEIN signed off a lot more TICS than he did. GUNDERSON said he (GUNDERSON) "just flat refused to sign them for a long time."
He advised that the last time Hector NUNEZ gave him an ultimatum was around the last of NOVEMBER 1981. He said it occurred when he was working at the spray pond. He stated that NUNEZ told him in words to the effect, "If you don't want to sign them off, that's fine. There is no question of you being out there because we will find komebody that will sign them off." GUNDERSON pointed out
" ~[
that NUNEZ did not make the statement in jest.
He added there were witnesses to this incident.
Further, he advised that NUNEZ made similar statements to nd M GUNDERSON volunteered, "they hand you the card and you don't know whether you have done the work or not." He continued that they say, "here it is, we lost j
the card, sign this one off so we can get rid of the system, because QC wants to buy it off." GUNDERSON averred, "you don't know if it was done or whether it was done right or anything about its installation."
GUNDERSON explained that the TICS come out to the field to JOHNSON from BPC Engineering. He continued that JOHNSON gives the TICS to NUNEZ and NUNEZ gives them to his foremen who assign them to their crew members. He said the foremen sign the cards in and out of their log books. He said the wiremen turn them in at the end of the day for the terminations they have completed.
He explained i
that when they complete a termination, they just stick the TICS in a bin with their name on them. He said the TICS don't get turned back directly to the 11
(
(
foreman.
He continued that after a card goes into the bin, the foreman logs the wireman's name out of the book and logs the card in. He advised the fore-man then turns the card over to NUNEZ. He went on to say that NUNEZ gives the card to JOHNSON who turns it over to Quality Control (QC) which inspects the termination.
He added that if QC identifies any problems with the termination,
- the TIC is returned to NUNEZ, to their foremen, and then back down to the w' ire-man "to correct any problem QC won't b'sy."
GUNDERSON advised that when an electrician finishes the termination and com-plates his side o'f the car,d, a QC inspector inspects the termination and places his entries on the other side of the card.
INVESTIGATOR'S. NOTE: The reverse side of the TIC which is completed by QC is called a " Termination Inspection Record" (Attachment 6).
GUNDERSON stated QC would not know if the craftsman's name or the crisp tool number on the TIC were correct.
He said the QC inspectors don't know anything other than whether the work was or was not physically completed. He commented that the QC personnel are unaware of the falsifications of the TICS because they are normally not present to observe the actual teminations.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE:
In GUNDERSON'S signed affirmed statement
- (Attachment 5), he stated that he observed some QC inspectors sign termination cards indicating they had inspected the tereinations, j
but he did not know if the inspectors actually inspected the specific terminations.
This matter was addressed in Region V Inspection Report t
(
No. 50-528/83-17 (page 7, item F).
During this inspection, six QC inspectors were interviewed and denied performing improper QC inspec-i tions of electrical terminations.
l GUNDERSON did not provide any additional information directly pertinent to this investigation. GUNDERSONS interview of June 1, 1982 was recorded on tape.
An extract from the transcribed interview pertaining to the alleged falsifica-tion of TICS (pages 20-40) is set forth as Attachment 7.

First Review of Completed Termination installation Cards on File at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generatino Station On or about June 14, 1982,, a review of all available Unit-1 Class 1E termina-tionrecordsforterminationscompletedthroughMay1982wascoNuctedbyNRC Region V Inspector J. H. ECKHARDT. The purpose of this review was to identi*fy any inconsistencies or distinguishing marks on the TICS as alleged. Of the estimated 7,000 cards examined, 127 cards bore Robert GUNDERSON's signature in the " installed by" position in the lower left hand corner. Of these 127 cards, one card termination number 1ESI22ACIRE2 had a "UP" symbol in the lower left hand corner as alleged and ' contained the signature of GUNDERSON in the
" installed by" space (Attachment 8). Of the remaining cards, nine had other distinguishing marks in the lower left hand corner. These nine cards were i ~
signed by two different electricians.
I INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: During subsequent interviews, these two elec-tricians indicated that the marks on the nine cards did not have any significant meaning; the marks were merely for field tracking purposes.
During the review, the inspector also noted approximately 12 cards where the insta11er's name was printed versus written in the appropriate space. On these r
cards, there were notes in the remarks section indicating that these cards were e
duplicates of the originals. Discussion with Bechtel indicated that, in some cases, the original cards had been ' lost or misplaced, and the name of the installer of the termination in a particular panel, as determined by other cards or informal fleid tracking records, was printed on the duplicate card with the crimp tool number he used during the period of terminations in the panel. These terminations were then inspected by QC as appropriate.

i Second Review of Comoleted Temination Installation Cards on File at the
^
Palo Verde Nuclear Generatino Station A second review of the Class Q nuclear safety-related (also termed Class IE)
TICS was conducted on April 5 and 6,1983 by NRC Investigator Eugene J. POWER and NRC Senior Resident Inspector L. E, VORDERBRUEGGEN. The purpose of the second review was to determine if the count of the Class Q TICS signed by Robert D. GUNDERSON Jr. would be any different from the first review conduc'ted by J. H. ECKHARDT, Principal Construction Inspector, NRC, for the PVNGS, in June 1982.
This investigation revealed there is a total of 46,202 electrical terminations i
in Unit-1 of which 12,626 were Class Q nuclear safety-related installations.
All of the completed Class Q nuclear safety-related TICS, which were estimated between 7,000 to 8,000 cards, were reviewed. This review revealed approximately 127 TICS which had the signature of Robert D. GUNDERSON Jr. One of the TICS l
signed by GUNDERSON, IESI22ACIRE2 (Attachment 8), dated November 13, 1981, had i
the notation "UP."
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: This was the same TIC which had been identified
.during the first review in June 1982.
f Durin'g the review of the TICS, handwriting exemplars, which had been obtained from GUNDERSON during his initial interview of June 1,1982, were utilized.
The review did not reveal any obvious questionable signatures of GUNDERSON on the completed TICS.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE:
In his interview, GUNDERSON related that his signature was very distinctive, and that "Ain't nobody gonna copy it.
This review did not surface any TICS containing the signature of Hector R.
NUNEZ and no other TICS with the notation of "UP" were identified. Also, there was nothing developed during the investigation to substantiate the allegation that other electricians had annotated the TICS with an identifying mark to reflect that the termination had not actually been performed by the electrician indicated.

permamentresidenceisi g advised he has been an electrician since 1955.
He stated he worked as = journeyman electrician for BPC at Unit-1, PVNGS. from May 5.1979 until' Harch 28, 1982, when he lef t af ter being asked by "loca1 hands"_ to leave because he was a " traveler." He said the first two years at PVNGS he wocked in piping (conduit) for Jack REDMAN on the 140 foot elevation of the Turbine Building. He advised he was transferred to work on high voltage cables in about June 1981 until he left in March 1982.
He advised he has been working as an electrician for REECO at the Nevada Test Site since April 28, 1982.
Concerning his experiences in working with Termination Installation Cards (TICS) at PVNGS, he furnished the following information:
r.
He recalled that once or twice the TICS for terminations he had completed were -
lost.
lie stated either his Foreman, Richard KEITH, or his General Foreman,
. Hector suiEZ, case to him with duplicate TICS 'to replace the lost cards and l
asked him to fill them in and sign them off.
He advised he signed them7f as though he7'ia done~ the work.
[
He stated there was talk of electricians being asked to reconstruct cards for work they had done.
However, he said he did not have any knowledge of TICS being falsified.
He recalled that one of the electricians, Jim SWEET, specifically told him that he would not sign TICS for work done by someone else. He assumed from SWEET's
.coar.ent that SWEET had apparently been asked by someone to sign off TICS for
~
work he had not performed. Whdvised he didn't. know the-circumstances or who asked SWEET to sign these cards. He added it' happene~d when they were 15 1

ye ng for him to get out of the area where t, hey were working. He advised he came out to where as standing and found that the area where they had been working was l
' rofe~o'sti'with radiation barriers by a company shooting radiographs.
said he then went and got his Foreman, Phil AGUAYO, and they went and found the l
l people who were shooting the radiographs. He stated that when they located them they learned they worked for a company named GEO Construction Testing (hereafter referred to as GEO).
He avbred GEO had roped off the area with radiation barriers where he had been working and never checked inside the roped off section to see if anyone'was working within the area.
He went on to state that the employees for GEO were making radiographs of a pipe weld approximately 12 to 15 feet away from him. He stated the radiographers were shooting from below him on the 100 foot elevation.
He believed they were using a thorium source to make their radiographs.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE:
According to the investigation conducted by the Arizona. Radiation Regulatory Agency, as reported in their letter to g dated May 4,1982 (Attachment 9), the incident occurred 16 l
1
d on January 21, 1982.
In addition,- the source used by GEO con n ited of 76 curies of radium-192 and not thorium as stated by M pdivsed that according to the information given to him by the radiog-rapher from GEO, they started shooting the radiographs at 11:30 p.m.
He said the operator (name unrecalled) initially tnla him "o might have received a big dose of radiation.
[.ated he then escorted the operator and showed him where he had been working when the operator was shooting radiographs.
the operator, af ter observing where hef g'had been working, told him he was "all right."
stated that in his opinion the operator did not have a proper perspective of the distance from the radiographic source to where he g had been working.purther related that a day or two following the incident, he arid the radiographers had a walk througtwthe area where he had been working and they thought he might have received an over-dose of radiation.
advised he was told he was required by law to submit a statement regarding the incident.
lie said he complied with this Bechtel directive and 4
when he quit the job, he aske,d the Bechtel Safety Officer for the pape'rs covering the incident.
He stated they wouldn't give them to him. He further stated that because of this, he went to the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA) on April 29, 1982 and reported what had happened.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE:
The ARRA_Atter tol
' dated May 4, 1982 (Attachment 9) states
- M ported the incident of possibly gettir.g an overdose of~ radiation from radiography.tn th^ ^RRA on March 21, 1982, rather than on April 29, 1982 as g stated during his interview with NRC investigators.
He said an ARRA Representative (name unknown) told him a report on the incident had not been reported to the ARRA.
He went on to say that a couple weeks lafbrq===
he received a letter from the ARRA tel\\ing him that everything was "okay."
He
.itdded he was never given any type of physical examination af ter the incident.
He advised he "got a call back from GEO in San Francisco" telling him th they would work up the information concerning the incident involving him.
This was done and sent to E0 (Attachment 10).
He said GEO claimed their 17 I
i
a calculations showed he did not receive an overdose of radiation.
He added that as not exposed as he was away from the area where the radiographs were being shot, during the period the radiography activity occurred.

Interview of Cary (NMN) WALLERSTEIN Electrician for Bechtel Power Corporation at Unit-1. Palo Verde Nuclear Generatina Station
,On June 16, 1982, Cary (NMN) WALLERSTEIN was interviewed under oa,th by NRC Investigators POWER and SHACKLETON in a Sechtel trailer at Unit-1, PVNGS.
He advised he resides a m
WALLERSTEIN advised he has had no prior experience working on a nuclear project before coming to work as an electrician for Bechtel at PVNGS in September 1978.
He disclosed he has been 'an electrician for 21 years and he is a member of Local 134 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Chicago, Illinois.
WALLERSTEIN furnished the following remarks concerning his experience and observations of the use of TICS at Unit-1, PVNGS:
WALLERSTEIN advised he has been working on terminations for 2-1/2 years.
He said he personally had not had any of his TICS lost.
He disclosed he has pria marily worked on low-voltage Q Class terminations in the Control Building.
He recalled one incident where one electrician had his TICS stolen along with his f.-
tools and the TICS were never recovered.
WALLERSTEIN stated that on one occasion his Foreman, Joe CRANE, asked him to sign off a TIC for work he did not perform. He said he didn't know the exact period of time, but felt it could have been nine or ten months ago, when CRANE had given him a TIC to go out and do the termination. WALLERSTEIN stated that when he went out and checked the area where the termination was to be completed, he found the work was already done, He explained that CRANE had no way to know that the TIC he gave him (WALLERSTEIN) was a duplicate card as there were no markings to differentiate it from an originally issued card. WALLERSTEIN said he put a note on the card with a pdperclip stating he found the work already done; then sent the card back to CRANE. He stated he assumed it must have been a system they were anxious to turn over to the client (Arizona Public Service) as CRANE asked him why he wouldn't sign the card off. WALLERSTEIN said he told his he wouldn't sign off the card unless he did the termination.
He related 23
(
-(
that CRANE then told him to roterminate it and then bring the card back.
- WALLERSTEIN averred it was far from the nom in his experience to have this happen.' He stated, however, "There vas absolutely no pressure or coercion whatsoever.".He went on to say he did remake the termination and made sure everything was correct. He added he never made any annctation on the card to indicate it was a second card rather than the original. He further commented that in his opinion if it happened to fiin it must have happened to the other electricians.
Ne said he could not comment on the experiences of other electricians for he had been terminating almost "99-1/25" of the time on his own. He advised some of the men on the larger terminations worked in pairs. He stated he had no knowledge of anyone being threatened if they didn't rign off a card.
In addi-tion, he stated he didn't know anyone who had to sign off TICS for work they did not perform. He disclosed his crew members were Frank TURCK, Ken SEGER, George KENNARD, Bill BURTCH, and Bob RODGERS.
He went on to relate that their relationship with their General Foreman, Hector NUNEZ, and their Superintendent Reggie JOHNSON, was informal. He said if they had a problem and NUNEZ was available they would go to him with it and let him make the decision. He stated if NUNEZ and CRANE were not around, they would go to JOHNSON. He went on to say they often would go straight to Engineering if they had a problem. He commented they were not supposed to go directly to Engineering, but they had a fairly good rapport with supervision, the union, j
and Engineering. He concluded his comments on this subject by stating that CRANE, NUNEZ, and JOHNSON have an excellent ability to get along with people.
WALLERSTEIN did not provide any additional infomation pertinent to this investigation.

He stated his work on nuclear projects included eight or nine weeks at tL, Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, and PVNGS, where he would have fcur y/ ears as of October 1982. He advised he is working on high voltage terminations.
50LLAMI furnished the following information concerning his experience with TICS:
He said he had never been asked to sign off TICS for work he did not perform.
He added he had not been directed to fill in TICS or to do something that wasn't correct. He averred he had never heard of any wiremen being directed by their j
management to sign off TICS for work they didn't do. He stated none of his TICS had been aisplaced or lost. He said every time a wireman finished a job, he returned the completed card to his foreman. He went on to say that while working the electricians kept the cards with them at all times. He added, "Even if we go to lunch, we take our cards with us."
He related that he didn't know the exact procedure that was followed when a TIC was lost, but as far as he knew, they go back through the whole procedure. He further advised he had never heard of a situation where a TIC was lost on work done six months earlier and they had to reconstruct what was done. He advised that when an electrician made an error on a TIC, for example the entry for the number of his crimp tool, the computer would reject the TIC. He continued that the electrician would then correct the number on the TIC pnd initial his change.
SOLLAMI did not provide any additional pertinent information.

AGUAYO advised he has been working on Unit-1, PVNGS, for 1-1/2 years. He said that since September 1981,when he came out of apprenticeship, he has been working on high voltage terminations. He related he never worked on a nuclear project prior to coming to Palo Verda. He is a member of Local G 0 of the International Brotharhood of F.lectriciar.a. Phoenix, Arizona.
AGUAYO furnished the fol?owing information concerning his experiences and obser-i vations of working with Tirs:
AGUAYO advised he had been asked to sign TICS for work he did not perform. He explained his foreman, Ted BJ.YCE (phonetic), would give him a duplicate TIC and AGUAYO would go check the temination to see if it was done properly. He added that if he was not satisfied with the work, ht: would redo the termination.
However,'if he found the termination to be satisfactory, he would sign off the card, put down his badge number ar.'i his crimp tool number even though it wasn't the crimp tool that was used. He recalled he had been asked to do this about four or five times.
AGUAYO stated that most of the time he accepted the work that was done by some-one else rather than cut off the lugs and reterminate the cable. He went on to say he would check the work and make certain it was done correctly.
He said he wou'1'd unscrew the wire and check to make sure it was done the way he would do it and then he would "just go ahead and land it."
He added that when he was doing a duplicate TIC, he would check the " possum" tags on the cable to see that they had the correct identification nuabar.
(A "possom tag" is the name given to an identification tag for each specific electrical cable. The tag is attached to the TIC by Engineering whan the TIC is furnished to the termination crew. Upon completing a termination, the electrician removes the tag from the 28
(
(
TIC and attaches it to the cable adjacent to the termination.) Then, if the tags were correct, he would send back the new " possum" tags with the completed duplicate TIC.
AGUAYO said he didn't know when he was working for BRYCE or for any other crew whether other electricians were asked to sign off TICS for work they did not perform. He conjectured others were asked to do it because of the large number of cards they processed.
AGUAYO stated he did not remember if the cables he was asked to check (and in some cases fill in and sign off the corresponding TICS) were nuclear safety related. He said he thought they were for black cables (non-safety related).
He stated he believed this to be most likely as techtel was very strict about
~
i Class Q cables (safety related). He concluded his comments on TICS by stating there was no pressure put on him to sign off the TICS given to him by manage-ment for work done by other electricians. AGUAYO did not provide additional information pertinent to this investigation.

SEGER advised he has been in the electrical craft since 1946. He said he fs a member of Local 306, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Akron, Ohio. He related he has been working at the PVNGS for about 34 months. He stated he has had no experience in working on a nuclear project prior to coming to Palo Verde. He advised he was working on low-voltage terminations in Unit-2, P([NGS.
SEGER furnished the following information concerning his experiences and observations in working with TICS:
He stated he had never been asked to sign off TICS for work he did not perform.
He further stated he had never heard of anyone who had been directed to sign off TICS for work they did not perform.
SEGER related that periodically some TICS were lost. He said he didn't remember any of his TICS being lost, although it could have happr.ned without being brought to his attention. He added he had never had to complete a duplicate card for a TIC that was lost.
He advised, however, that he had duplicate TICS in the event of changes. As an example he explained that occasionally a wire had to be moved after the orginal termination. He said that when this happened, the wireman usually received both caYds; the card for work already done, and the current card reflecting the change. He noted that the second card was usually different from the first card so one would reteminate according to the information on the second card, sign it off, and then both cards would go back to Engineering.

MOODY furnished the following information concerning his experiences and obser-vations in working with TICS:
l MOODY advised that he had been directed to. fill in a TIC for work he did not perform. He said this occurred approximately a year or a year and a half ago.
He said that because of the elapsed time, he'couldn't recall which foreman asked him to do it.
He stated it was either Julio ORTEGA or Ted BRYCE (phonetic). He averred it involved e non-safety related system. He remembered the situation occurred since the man who did the termination was no longer on the job. He recalled the foreman asked him to go out and look at the work.
He related that he checked the number on the TIC, and then checked the termina-tion to ensure the work was done properly. He added there was an engineer who checked the work, and his foreman also looked at the termination.
He said that after he found it was satisfactory,lhe signed the TIC. He stated the TIC showed his crisp tool number as the crimping tool that was used, although his crimp tool was not used. He added there was no subterfuge or pressure placed on him to sign off this TIC.

He stated that on one occasion he was asked by his Foreman, to sign off a TIC for work he did not perform. He believed the incident occurred at least eight months ago. He continued that since he was a qualifted journey-san electrician, he was requested to check out the termination to see if it looked good. He averred he backed off right away when, pproached him about it.
He said that at the time he explained it was against procedures for an electri,cian to sign off a TIC for work he didn't do; and accordingly he cpposed the request as soon as he was approached. He averred it was something he definitely didn't believe in.
He also pointed out he didn't want to " inter-fere" bece.use it was not his work. He recalled the system was in the Turbine Building but he didn't know if it was on a safety or non-safety related system.
He noted M " asked" him to do it rather than " telling" him to do it.
He stated there was no pressure on his to do it. He advised he didn't sign the card because te didn't make the crisp and he questioned the condition of the crimp't' col that was used. He said he didn't know if the crimp tool that was used had teen dropped and knocked o'ut of calibration or otherwise damaged.

KENNARD advised he has been in the electrical craft for 30 years. He further advised he would have four years at Palo Verde in October 1982. He added he has been working in high-voltage for approximately the last three years. He stated he is a member of Local 124 of the International Brotherhood of Elec-trical Workers, Kansas City, Hissouri. He disclosed he had no experier.ce in '.
i
~
working on a nuclear project prior to his employment at the PVNGS.
KENNARD furnished the following information concerning his experience and observations in working with TICS at Unit-1. PVNGS:
He stated that he thought he had been asked to. sign TICS for work he did not perform on one or two occasions. He said he thought his foreman, Richard KEITH, approached him about a year ago, and said they had lost a TIC. He recalled KEITH knew that a termination had formerly been completed, but they needed an electrician's signature on the card; therefore, 'KEITH wanted him to sign a duplicate TIC for a card previously completed. He said he didn't positively remember what system was involved, although it may have been a black wire (non-,
safety related).
He remarked that the foreman simply wanted his (KEhNARD's) signature on the card. KENNARD said that he did not remember what crimp tool number was included on the card.
He stated KEITH asked him to sign the card, but he didn't feel KEITH placed any pressure on him to sign.
In addition, he advised'he didn't recall that anyone else was present when KEITH asked him to sign off this TIC.

He advised he resides a E ST advised he has worked in the electrical craft for 7-1/2 years. He stated he has been working at Palo Verde since August 1981. He related he is a member of Local 640 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Phoenix, Arizona.
MST furnished the following information concerning his experiences and obser-vations on working with TICS at Unit-1, PVNGS:
He said he had been asked a couple times to sign off TICS for work he did not perform. He stated he couldn't remember the names of those who requested him I
to do it since he had worked on many crews.
He remarked he believed an engi-neer aske'd him on one occasion, but he didn't remember the name of the engineer.
He added that it occurred quite a while back.
MST advf. sed he believed the cards which he had signed in these instances were l
duplicates for TICS previously completed. He further advised he believed the original cards'were lost or misplaced. He added he just filled the duplicate cards out like he normally did an original TIC. He disclosed that he would always physically check the termination to see that everything looked proper before he would sign off the TIC. He said that when he looked the tenninations.
over, he checked the landing points, and the color of the wire and location.
He comented that as long as there was no indication the termination wasn't done right, the card was completed as if he had done the original. He added he would leave the old "possue tag" on the wire cable unless it was all beat up.
He said he then put his name, badge' number, date, and his crimp tool number on the TIC. He advised he did not believe any of the duplicate TICS he completed were for Q Class systems. He stated both of the terminations in question must have been in the Auxiliary Building as that was where he was working most of the time. He advised he was never pressured into completing these duplicate 37

TICS for work he had not performed. Rather, he said, he believed he was asked to do it and not directed to do it.
In addition, MAST stated he had,he.ard that other electricians had, been asked to sign off TICS for work they didn't originally do; but he added he couldn't swear to that. He said he did not know the names of anyone who might have -
been asked to do that. MAST did not provide any other information germane to this investigation.

, Pubite service Construction Building, PVNGS.
s j
,LEGG advised he has been working at Palo Verde for two years. He said for,the first year he worked as a Field Engineer-Electrical ending this job on May 18, i
1981. He stated that from that date on he has worked as an electrician on Unit-1. He advised he has worked in the electrical trade since 1971. He related he is a member of Local 482 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Eureka, California. He advised that he had no experience
)j working on a nuclea' project prior to coming to Palo Verde.
r l
l j
LEGG furnished the following information concerning his experiences and obser-wations from working,with TICS at Unit-1, PVNGS:
l LEGG stated he had been asked to sign TICS for work he did not perform.
He i
said he had been asked once or, at the most, twice.
He advised he had no idea j
who, asked him. He explained he was asked by some engineer (s) and they had such
)
a turnover in engineers he couldn't recall who they were.
In addition, he
{
stated he didn't recall if the terminations related to Class Q cables or non-safety related cables. He speculated that the request was made of him because j
the original TIC was lost and they didn't know who did the terstnation.
He went on to say, "When they approach me with this, I won't sign the card unless j
I look at the work and I make sure it is perfomed in a craftsmanship manner."
i He added that if the work didn't meet the specifications he wouldn't sign the I
card.
l He explained that when he signed off TICS for work he did not perform, he put j
his signature and badge number on the card. Regarding the crimp tool number i
that went on these TICS, he advised that some of the terminations they did on thejobwere"sechanical." He said this would get a code number of 8-9999 on the card, which indicates no crisp tool was involved.
LEGG averred if there
)
was someone else's crisp tool indicated on the TIC, he would cut the lugs off, 39 i
(
(
use his own crisp tool for the termination, and so record his crisp tool number on the TIC.
In that manner, he added, the record would reflect a valid crimp tool that had a current calibration date.
LEGG advised he dkdn't know any other electricians who had been asked to sign
, off a TIC for work they did not perform. He explained he believed they approached him because he happened to be in the office at the time. He said it was generally a true statement that when management had a couple of TICS that needed to be signed off, they would just walk out of the office to whomever happened to be there, and they would tell them that they had a couple of cards that needed to be signed off.
LEGG commented that he wouldn't accept the statement that the engineers had already checked the' terminations that had been done by someone else and to go ahead and sign off the TIC. He said he would check it out himself before signing off the card.
He advised he was never pressured or coerced to sign off these TICS where some-one else had done the work.
He went on to explain that on small cables like #14, #10, etc., after he signed off the duplicate card and put on the new crimp tool number, the card was e
referred to Quality Control and a Quality Control inspector had to recheck the termination. He added the new card could not be stamped off by Quality Control until the work had been checked out. He advised that on the larger cables, the Quality Control inspector was present when the work was being done and watched the terminations being made.
He stated he never was given a blank TIC to i
complete on a larger cable termination that had been completed by someone else.
LEGG advised he wasn't aware of any forgeries made on the TICS.
He said the on1;; thing that might be considered a forgery was the practice he followed of sometimes putting his tool partner's name on the cards. He stated either his l
tool partner or he would sign the TICS because they were working together.
l LEGG did not provide any additional substantive information.

Interview of James B. SWEET. Electrician for Buchtel Power Corporation at Unit-1. Palo Verde Nuclear Generatine Station On June 28,,1982, James B. SWEET was interviewed under oath by NRC Investigato,rs POWER and SHACKLETON in the NRC Resident Inspector's office in the Arizona Pubite Service Construction Building, PVNGS. SWEET advised he resides at W SWEET advised that he has worked in the electrical trade since 1968.
He further advised that his nuclear construction experience included a little over a week at Three Mile Island, Unit-1, and seven or eight months at the Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant, Oswego, New York, before he came to the PVNGS.
He stated he has been at the PVNGS for almost four years. He said he is a member of Local-1 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, St. Louis, Missouri.
SWEET furnished the following information concerning his experiences and obser-vations of working with TICS at Unit-1, PVNGS:
SWEET advised he was asked one time to sign a TIC for work he did not perform.
He recalled that it was over one year ago on Unit-1.
He added that he was working in high voltage terminations at'the time, and he didn't remember too many of the details. He stated he did remember the work was already completed, and the electrician who did it had quit or for some reason wasn't available.
He asserted that Reggie JOHNSON, his Superintendent, asked him to sign off the TIC so the card could be turned in. He averred he refused to sign the TIC.
He stated JOHNSON did not try to pressure him into signing it. He further stated he didn't remember if the termination involved was part of a safety-related system, but he was reasonably sure it was not.
In referring to the incide,nt, he stated, "It wasn't any' thing that amounted to anything at all."
SWEET advised that in the almost four years he has been at Palo Verde, this was the only time he had been asked to sign a card in this manner.
He said, "Ninety-eight percent of the wiremen on this job will not sign anything they didn't do."
He went on to say, " JOHNSON asked maybe three guys while I was there." He said, "We were all just standing there and he asked me if I would 41
(
(
sign, and I said no. He asked another guy, and he said no. The next guy said no."
He said he believed Forrest HALL was one of the wiremen in the office when JOHNSON asked him (SWEET) to sign off the TIC. He added he was not sure l
who the other witemen were.
SWEET stated he didn't know of anyone other than JOHNSON who had asked the men to sign off TICS for work they didn't do. He added that he didn't know of anyone who had signed them off, but he had heard of other men being asked.
SWEET stated he was sure that it was not a common occurrence on the site for management to ask een to sign off TICS for work they did not perform.
SWEET advised that he had never heard of anyone's name being forged on a TIC.
He commented they occasionally received cards for work which was partially completed. He explained that for some unknown reason, the work had been stopped, however, the person who was originally assigned the work had signed l
off the card. He continued that when the work was subsequently completed, the card reflected the signature of a person who had not completed the termination.
l He commented that this had happened about twice since he had been on Unit-1.
He described the TICS in question as being for high voltage terminations.
SWEE'T said there was only one high voltage crew and they all knew each other and knew each other's work. He stated he had confidence in the work done by his crew members.
He went on to say that if anyone in his crew signed a TIC, he (SWEET) would say the termination was done right. He added, "Of course, I'd check it" (i.e., the termination).
He stated this was the best run nuclear project he had ever seen as far as Quality Control is concerned. He a,dvised that a friend of his unintentionally put tie-wrong crisp tool number down on several TICS and management caught it t
quite quickly.
He related that Bechtel fired his friend over this, but the friend was reinstated.
He advised he has been on Start-up since about January 1982 in Unit-2 and has l
had very little to do with terminations since. He recalled that while he was l
working for Foreman Richard KEITH on High Voltage Terminations in Unit-1, his 42

interview of Richard 8. KEITH. Foreman Electrical-Hich Voltace for Bechtel Power Corporation at Unit-3 Pa16 Verde Nuclear Generatino Statio3 On June 17,1982,. Richard 8. KEITH was interviewed under oath by NRC Investi-i gators POWER and SHACKLETON in a Bechtel trailer at Unit-1, PVNGS. He advised he resides at W.
KEITH related he has been in the electrical craft for 25 years. He said he will have been working at the PVNGS four years in July 1982. He said he is presently a High Voltage Foreman in Unit-1. He stated he is a member of Local 640 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Phoenix, Arizona.
KEITH furnished the following information concerning his experiences and observations of working with TICS:
KEITH stated that, to his knowledge, he did not know of any occasions where a TIC was lost and a duplicate card was obtained and given to some electrician, who had not done the work, to complete without reterminating. He explained that,if a card was lost, they would first have to get a duplicate TIC through l
the computer. He related the next step would be for an electrician to go out and take the completed work apart, inspect it, and re-do the termination.
He stated this is the only way it can be done properly. He added they have to follow the procedure written in 13-EH06 of their specifications. He charac-terized those procedures as their " bible."
KEITH advised he maintained a record of the TICS issued in his foreman's log book. He said the foremen started keeping these logs about three years ago.
He addeti'this record keeping had been an ongoing activity.
KEITH was unable to furnish any additional pertinent information.

Interview of Joseph H. CRANE. Foremen-Electrical Terminations for Bechtel Power Corooration at Unit-1. Palo Verde Nuclear Generatino Station On June 17, 1982, Joseph H. CRANE was. interviewed under, oath by NRC Investi-gators POWER and SHACKLETON in a Bechtel trailer at Unit-1, PVNGS. He advised
.his heme address in y
CRANE advised he has been in the electrical craft for 32 years. He said he has been working for Bechtel at the PVNGS for a little over three years. He stated he had no prior experience' working on a nuclear project before coming to the PVNGS.
CRANE furnished the following information concerning his experiences and observations in working with TICS:
CRANE advised since he has been at Unit-1, PVNGS, he has worked primarily in the Control Room. He stated within the last year and a half he has not been working on high voltage termina.tions. He added that previously he was a General Foreman in Unit-2, PVNGS, when the concrete sections were just coming out of the ground.
t In discussing TICS, CRANE stated in some instances it might be true that elec-tricians have been directed by foremen to sign off TICS for work they did not terminate. He said, "Primarily, Engineering loses cards through the computer system. They refer a new card to the field to be redocumented.
In this case the foreman, through his log book, tries to find the journeyman who previously I
did the original card.
It shows which journeyman to reterminate it, or, if he is satisfied that he had done it, have him sign the card off, and return it to Engineebng." He went on to say that " definitely" when this happens, it is customary for the journeyman to go look at the termination.
He stated that when the wireman who did the work is gone, and the TIC needed to be completed, he usually expected the man he assigned to complete the duplicate TIC to check the termination, to cut the lugs off, and to reterminate it. He advised that the wireman then signs the T:C off with his name and his crimp tool number.
l 45
(
(
CRANE stated he does not know of any foreman who has directed an electrician to fill out a TIC for work the wireman did not perform.
lm
- CRANE related.that each foreman kept a log book on the cards distributed to him in the field. He said they assign the cards to the men by electrical systems.
He further advised these log books go back approximately two years since they started working on the " basic terminations." He disclosed their General Foreman,
.a Hector NUNEZ, established this log book' system with his foremen. He said the log book was not a procedural requirement - "just an on-the-job development."
He believes if someone wanted to go back and check the records for a log book 1-1/2 years, even if a particular foreman was gone, a person could still find the log books for that period in the foremen's shack.
CRANE stated, "There seems to be quite a few cards that are lost through the computer system." He estimated that probably 50 cards have been lost over a two or three year period. He said they do receive quite a few duplicate TICS.
He explained by this he meant they receive TICS for work that has already been completed, and TICS that had been submitted showing by whom and when this work was done. He said they then refer these duplicate cards back to Engineering as previously completed. He commented that there is no written procedure for 1
guid,ance on what to tell an electrician to do when a TIC is lost. He said it is just an " oral deal" as he had never seen anything written on it. He went on to say when he got a duplicate TIC for a lost card, and the foreman starts to enter it in his log book, he can usually determine if he had a previous TIC for the termination (s) in question.
He advised they research their log books by card number. However, he cautioned that t.he log books are not completely accurate, because, sometimes on a weekend, another foreman might need to use the log books and cards of other foremen.
In such situations, some of the traceability was lost with the diffprent foremen working with the TICS and log books.. He advised traceability is accomplished through the number on the card.
He said the TIC reflected the system and building in which the termination was located. He added when they get a duplicate TIC for a lost card and the foreman identified the journeyman who did the work, they do not have him write on the new TIC that it is a duplicate. He concluded his comments on TICS by stating there is no way to tell without going through the records whether one has a j
duplicate or an original TIC.

He said he is a member of Local 640 of the International Brotherhood of Elec-trical Workers, Phoenix, Arizona. He advised that he had no experience work-ing on a nuclear project prior to coming to Palo Verde. He further advised he has beer. working at the PVNGS for a little over two years.
He added that.
prior to his present time, he worked once before at Palo Verde for five months.
He is presently working as a Foreman-Electrical at Unit-1, PVNGS. Hector NUNEZ is his General Foreman and Reggie JOHNSON is his Superintendent.

M. advised that when he had a TIC which had not been signed off by the
~5e~c'tUbianwhodidthework,andtheterminationhadbeencompleted,hewould e
assign one of the electricians in his crew to take the card and go examine the termination in question. He said that when an electrician examines a completed termination for a duplicate TIC, he will sometimes cut the lugs and reterminate using his own crisp tool. He added this is done so they will have a crimp tool number on the TIC. He advised there are times when they don't use their crimp tool. He explained an example of this was when an electrician checked a com-pleted termination and if it was-done according to the TIC, a crimp tool was not required. He said the electrician then entered the code number B-9999 in the space for a crimp tool number. ~.He further explained the cards he received for terminations already completed triginated in Engineering, and go to JOHNSON, then to NUNEZ, and then to him gadvised the way he would select an electrician to look over a termina-tion that is already completed was "whoever is available at the time." He 47 l

, M stated that in his opinion he had not had many TICS done over; he estimated about half a dozen a week. He added that there were weeks when he didn't get any.
He asserted that he had no way to tef1 a duplicate card from a card that was ordering a new termination, gtated an electrician never had declined to look over a termination that had already been completed.
In addition, he stated he had never had an electrician refuse to sign off a duplicate TIC for work he did not perform.

In addition, he stated he had never heard of anyone being threatened tr pressured into signing off a TIC for work he had not done.
He further advised he was not aware of any situation where an electrician who was asked to sign off a TIC for work he did not do, did so under protest.
He also stated he was not aware of any forged signatures being written on the TICS.

Interview of Louis WILLIAMS. Jr.. Enoineer. Construction Release Oraanization, Bechtel Power Corocration at Unit-1. Palo Verde Nuclear Generatino Station On June,28, 1982, Louis WILLIAMS, Jr. was interyfewed under oatt by NRC Investi-gators N WER and SHACKLETON in the NRC Resident Inspector's office in the Arizona Pubite Service Construction Building, PVNGS.
WILLIAMS advised he has been working for BPC as an Engineer at the PVNGS s,ince May 18, 1981.
He related he is presently assigned to the Construction Release Organization and until six weeks ago, he was a Termination Engineer at Unit-1.
He advised he is a degreed Engineer having graduated from Southern University.
He further advised he has had prior experience in working as a Construction Field Engineer on nuclear construction while amployed by BPC at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units-2 and 3, for approximately four months, and 10-1/2 months for Daniels at Wolf Creek.
WILLIAMS furnished the following information concerning his experiences and observations in working on electrical terminations:
He explained his responsibilities as a Termination Engineer were to aid the field with termination problems, to find resolutions, and to inspect the work done by the electricians / wiremen.
Regarding his knowledge of the processing of TICS, he advised he knew there had been times when TICS could not be found in the record vault where they were stored. He said he couldn't say whether the missing cards were Class Q or not.
In addition, he stated he did not know if there were any Bechtel procedures to give directions on what to do to replace a lost TIC. He stated he was not aware of a situation where a TIC was lost,and a new card was issued. He advised that when a TIC was lost, the computer printout in Engineering on a completed termi-nation did not show the craftsman's name and badge number who performed the termination. He said the printout would show the particular crimp tool that was used for a particular termination and all the other identifying data listed on a TIC.
49
(
(
WILLIAMS advised that all Class Q work was checked by an engineer to see that the termination had been done according to specifications before the termina-tion was examined by the Quality Control Inspector.
in concluiion, he said he had no knowledge of any improper installations of high voltage terminations.

Intervie'ws of Hector R. NUNEZ. Electrical General Foreman. Bechtel Power
' Corporation at Unit 1. Pelo Verde Nuclear Generatino Station On June 29, 1982 and April 7,1983 Hector R. NUNEZ was interviewed in the. NRC
' Resident Inspector's office in the Construction Building, PVNGS. The inter-l views were conducted under oath by NRC Investigators SHACKLETON and POWER..
1 NUNEZ resides =+
M.
NUNEZ, who is the General Foreman for electrical work for BPC on Unit-1, PVNGS, provided substantially th'e following information:
He is 47 years of age and he has been working in the electrical trade since 1961. He stated he is a member of Local 640 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Phoenix, Arizona. He advised that the PVNGS was his firstnuclearconstructionjob. He stated he has worked at the PVNGS since July 1976.
When interviewed on June 29, 1982, he advised he had three foremen reporting to l
him. He said that six months prior to that time, he possibly had six foremen reporting to him.
He advised he reported to Reggie JOHNSON, Superintendent over electrical construction for Bechtel on Unit-1.
He explained that the first step in doing an electrical termination was for Bechtel Engineering to furnish a TIC to JOHNSON describing the termination that was to be done. JOHNSON then would give the TIC to him (NUNEZ). He (NUNEZ) in turn would give the TIC to a particular foreman based on the system involved and the location of the termination. The foreman then would assign the termi-nation to a wireman or pair of wiremen depending on the size of the termination invo19ed. NUNEZ estimated that they started doing terminations three years ago. Because of the thousands of terminations involved, they discovered some months after they were into the work that it would be beneficial for them to develop their own logging system. They accomplished this by each. foreman main-taining his own log in a loose-leaf notebook for the work done on terminations by his own crew. He said he does not keep a log book as he doesn't have a crew of his'own. He advised that when a wiraman completes a TIC, he brings the TIC 51
(
(
f to his foreman and the foreman legs the termination in this notebook. He
,(
further advised that their system uses a pink highlighter marking to identify a problem card and a green highlighter marking to identify a completed card. He stated he did not believe,there was any,way from the foremen's logging system to identify a TIC that was signed off by a wireman who did not do the termina-tion shown on the TIC unless there was a notation written in the log book by the wireman or the foremen.
In addition, he stated he did not believe lost or misplaced TICS could be traced through the foremen's log books.
NUNEZ advised that when a TIC was completed and signed off by Quality control, where it was required, the card went back to Bechtel Engineering where the information was entered into their eseputer. When TICS get lost or eisplaced
' on terminations already completed, a duplicate TIC would be made by Batchtel Engineering and would be sent over to JOHNSON to be completed. NUNEZ estimated thare were approximately 30 to 40 TICS recording electrical work that had been completed that would get lost in a typical year. NUNEZ went on to explain that when JOHNSON received a duplicate TIC (s) he in turn gave the duplicate card (s) to him (NUNEZ). NUNEZ explained that he normally gave the duplicate card (s) to the appropriate subordinate foreman to issue to whichever wireman was available.
g NUNEZ stated that he usually instructed the foreman to have a wireman look at the original termination and determine the appropriate action (i.e. determine if there was a problem with the termination and to re-terminate if necessary, etc.). The duplicate TIC was prepared by the electrician as if it were for a new termination.
He related that it was also a practice to attempt to have the electrician who originally teminated the installation to also reinspect his own work, and to complete the duplicate TIC (s).
NUNEZ said he believed there was a case or two, or more, in which JOHNSON told him (NUNEZ) to go out and get the duplicate TICS " signed off" by someone who had not' done the work. He commented he did not know why JOHNSON had him do this. He added he didn't question' JOHNSON about this as he was the Superintend-ent.
(" Signed off" is a colloquiaitse used by the craft to have the appropriate i
entries on the card completed, and to have a wirecan sign the card showing the work was completed by him).
T d
52
(
NUNEZ stated JOHNSON did not give him specific directions as to who was to sign off a duplicate TIC. NUNEZ stated that generally JOHNSON simply told him to have somebody look at the termination, to see if it was done, and to get it signed off. He said JOHNSON, however, sometimes told him to cut off the lugs of the termination and to have the work re-done. NUNEZ further explained that
. he did not know JOHNSON's reasons, and he did not question,10HNSON's directives.
NUNEZ also stated that no person, to his knowleilge, who was superior to JOHNSON, told JOHNSON to have the TICS prepared in that raanner.
NUNEZ said he normally dealt directly with his foremen; however, he did recall there were several occasions in which he direr.tly told wiremen to complete TICS for electrical work which had been done by o'.her wiremen.
In those situations, NUNEZ further explained that he told the wiremen to look at the terminations, and if the terminations looked good, the wiremen were to complete the duplicate TICS even though they had not done the actual work. He also stated he did not remember the wiremen who were involved. He explained he occasionally dealt directly with wiremen when they'were standing in the electrician's shack or work area when he (NUNEZ) was talking to the foremen. He said that in the past he had asked journeymen to sign off TICS for work they had not performed.
During the June 29, 1982 interview, NUNEZ advised that he was aware that some of the wiremen under his supervision had signed off TICS under protest for work they had not performed. He estimated there were probably less than half a dozen such wiremen. He recalled that Marvin GAINES and Shy VALENZUELA were two who may have protested when they were asked to sign off TICS for work they had not done. He disclosed these two wiremen objected to both their foreman and to him (NUNEZ) who was present. He believed, however, that both of them signed the cards. He stated he was sure they went out and checked the terminations l
before they signed off the cards. fle said he thought the foreman involved was l
Joe SAND 0 VAL. He stated he did not,know if the terminations involved were l
safety related or not.
During a subsequent interview on April 7, 1983. NUNEZ said he recalled that Robert D. GUNDERSON Jr. was also involved in the TIC situation. He stated GUNDERSON worked for Richard KEITH and possibly Joe CRANE (phonetic), both of whom were foremen at the time and subordinate to him (NUNEZ).

INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: During the interview of NUNEZ on June 29, 1982, the Investigators did not disclose GUNDERSON's name to NUNEZ as GUNDERSON had requested confidentiality. However, NUNEZ was reinterviewed on April 7,1983 regarding GUNDERSON after GUNDERSON.
had made his name known to the public in February and March 1983 through newspapers, radio, and television in Arizona.
NUNEZ stated he remembered he had told,GUNDERSON to sign off duplicate TICS *for work that GUNDERSON had not perfomed.' NUNEZ could not estimate the number of times he requested GUNDERSON to sign off incomplete TICS. NUNEZ advised that some of the wiremen objected to completing the TICS when they had not accom-plished the work. NUNEZ stated GUNDERSON protested, possibly three times, when NUNEZ told him to sign off on TICS for work he had not done. However, NUNEZ j
said he could not recall if GUNDERSON signed off the cards after stating his objections. NUNEZ advised that he did not recall threatening GUNDERSON to the effect that if he did not sign the TICS for work he did not do that GUNDERSON would lose his job. NUNEZ did state, however, he may have remarked to GUNDERSON something to the effect that he would fire GUNDERSON "for falling to follow orders." NUNEZ further explsined that ha used this phrase (" fire someone for failure to follow orders") on a daily basis with the work crews. He said the terminology of that threat was comonly used as a joke on the job site.
NUNEZ advised that, to his knowledge, JOHNSON never threatened GUNDERSON with the los's of his job unless he signed off on a TIC for work that he did not do.
i i
NUNEZ advised that he never forged any wireman's signature on a TIC, and he had no knowledge of anyone, including JOHNSON, who ever forged another person's signature on a TIC.
NUNEZ speculated that perhaps GUNDER$0N's complaint concerned an incident which occurred when GUNDERSON was assigned to work in a manhole on a termination for large cables. He said such work would sometimes require the terminations to be worked through several shifts. He explained that in that situation, a large hydraul'ic crisp tool might have been used on the day shift.
He said GUNDERSON might have been on the swing shift yhen the shrink tube was put on and the may finishing touches were done to complete the terminations. NUNEZ stated he may have then asked GUNDERSON to sign off the TICS, and GUNDERSON could have become upset because he had not performed the crimping. NUNEZ further advised that normally the hydraulic crimp tool would have been there and GUNDERSON would, if 54
(
(
4 he* agreed to do it, be putting down the number for the right crisp tool. NUNEZ thought such an instance might have occurred in manhole #35. NUNEZ recalled he just happened to be present at the manhole and he asked GUNDERSON to sign the TICS. He remembered the foreman was working somewhere else and the TICS were either with GUNDERSON or he (NUNEZ) brought them. He said he recalled that several TICS were involved in the discussion. NUNEZ stated he could not i
' honestly recall if GUNDERSON signed off those cards.
NUNEZ advised that in assessing his relationship with GUNDERSON, he remembers another occasion when hostility developed between them. He said at one time (date unrecalled) there was either an apprentice or a journeyman (name unre-l called) who did not know how to perform terminations. He stated that on this occasion he was standing with CUNDERSON and GUNDERSON's Foreman, Richard KEITH, l_
and he (NUNEZ) suggested that GUNDERSON teach the man how to do the job. NUNEZ said that GUNDERSON verbally objected to teaching the other man. NUNEZ edvised that he felt he had to show he was the boss. He said he therefore wanted to dismiss GUNDERSON. He explained his reason for wanting to fire GUNDERSON was GUNDERSON's refusal to follow orders from his superiors. NUNEZ said he is j
fairly sure G')NDERSON went to his Union Shop Steward, Ken HUBBS, and that HUBBS talked him (NUNEZ) out of firing GUNDERSON. He believed the incident occurred j
in the east and of the switchgear rnom in Unit'-1.
NUNEZ commented that GUNDER-i SON'was good at terminations and they needed good electricians. NUNEZ stated j
he had no animosity against GUNDERSON after this situation.
NUNEZ advised there were about a dozen instances in 1981 in which JOHNSON directed him (NUNEZ) to personally compi tte about one dozen TICS. He said there could have been less or maybe more cards involved.
He went on to say that JOHNSON directed his to sign off the TICS for work that had already been done by someone else.
He advised that J0llNSON directed him to get these TICS signed,,offwithoutcuttingtheiugiandwithoutredoingtheterminations.
He stated that at the time he (NUNEZ) ilidn't see anything wrong in signing off TICS as he thought it was part af Fachtel's responsibility to get TICS. signed I
off when the work was completed. He said he signed these TICS with his own name'as completing the terminations. He advised that JOHNSON did not make any
~
differentiation as to the class of cables that were involved. He further com-sented that any TICS bearing his name as the electrician who performed the i
i 55
(
(
teminations were false. NUNEZ said he did not perform the actual work as reflected on the cards,. NUNEZ did not recall if any of the TICS he signed in that manner involved Class Q or nuclear safety-related terminations. NUNEZ said he felt no coercion or threat from JOHNSON when he was directed.to sign the TICS. NUNEZ said he thought it was alright to do so at the time, and he was just following JOHNSON's orders. NUNEZ said he signed his name and he,
entered his badge number on the cards., He advised that he did not enter a crisp tool number on the card as he thought soscone else~ (identity unknown) would do that by obtaining the correct tool number from the crisp tool log.
He
' explained that there was a record of what crimp tools were used in certain areas for a particular time. He advised he believed the correct tool numbers that were used on the terminations he signed would be subsequently entered.
INVESTIGATOR'S h0TE: A review on April 5 and 6,1983 of all the
,~
completed TICS for Class Q terminations being maintained by the BPC did not identify any TICS bearing the signature of Hector R.
NUNEZ.
I NUNEZ related that JOHNSON had directed wiremen (names unrecalled) to sign off TICS for work the wiremen did not do.
He estimated that to his knowledge JOHNSON did this a half dozen times. He added that he did not recall r.ny witnesses who might have been present at the time.
t NUNEZ advised that after his initial interview with the NRC investigators on j
June 29, 1982, the practice for handling duplicate TICS was changed by oral l
orders from JOHNSON. He explained that under these circumstances it is now a j
practice to cut the lugs off and do a new termination. NUNEZ stcted that after the work is completed on the new termination, he has gone out and observed some of these reterminations. He said he detemined the wireman who was assigned the retermination work to complete one of these duplicate cards, filled in his name, badge number, date he completed the temination, and his crimp tool number.
j He further advised that after his first interview with the NRC, he instructed all his foremen to have their wiremen follow these procedures. On April 7, 1983, NUNEZ voluntarily executed a sworn statement setting forth his comments made during the two interviews. A copy of the statement is enclosed (Attach-ment 14).

Interviews of Recinald E. JOHNSON Superintendent. Bechtel Power Corporation at Unit-1. Palo Verde Nuclear Generatina Station
'~
On June.29,1982 and April 8, 1983, Reginald E. JOHNSON was interviewed in the NRC Resident Inspector's office in the Construction Buf1 ding, PVNGS. The inter-views were conducted under oath by NRC Investigators SHACKLETON and POWER.
JOHNSON advised he resides telephone M JOHNSON advised he is 44 years of age and he is the Electrical Superintendent for the Bechtel Power Corporation assigned to Unit-1 PVNGS.
He stated he has worked at the PVNGS since April 1977. JOHNSON advised that in addition to tfig six years he has worked at the PVNGS, he worked as a Field Engineer-Elec'trical' for Bechtel at the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Power Plant, in California, for two years in the early 1970s. JOHNSON added that his nuclear work experi-ence included working on a loan basis at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in California for Bechtel for four or five sonths while he was assigned to the PVNGS. JOHNSON related that he has had additional experience in the nuclear field while employed with Hughes Aircraft Company working on nuclear powered submarines and frigates'.
During both interviews, JOHNSON furnished substantially the same remarks con-cerning his knowledge of how TICS were used on Unit-1 and as to his involvement
~
with the TICS. He provided essentially the following information:
JOHNSON stated the Bechtel computer tracking program that records the informa-tion from IICs is identified as the EE580 computer program.
He explained tnat the TICS act as an engineering order to make a particular electrical termina-l tion (s), record by whom the termination (s) was completed, and contain the perti-nent triformation recorded on the back side of the card concerning Quality Control's inspection of the terminatifon(s). He went on to explain that Bechtel Engineering (about nine engineers are involved) sends the TICS to him, with the exception of some that go to Start-up, and then he gives them to his only General Foreman handling terminations, Hector NUNEZ. He said that NUNEZ then i
gives the TICS to the appropriate foremen for assignment to wiremen. He added that he did not follow through as O which wiremen will do each termination.

He continued the foreman then logged the termi-naticn as completed in his leg bcok.
JOHNSON said the TIC then goes to NUNEZ and tbtr. tr hir (JOHNSON).
He statec he then returned the TIC to the engi-nce in; group where the TICS were checked for completeness.
He added that
~
,c etins he wculd take the TICS directly from a foreman if he (JOHNSON) hap-pence to be with the foreman wher, he was done with the TIC.
CLrir; tre June 29, 1982 interview, JOHNSON advised that he recognized three ea s age when they started doing terminations and tne TIC computer tracking pre;ra was put into effect t hat the program should show a complete TIC issuance hist:"y.
He said he reco.msrded to the people setting up'the prcgram that they should incorporate this capa!-ility into the system.

He ac..ised they made no distinction between "Q" class Dafsty related) and non-Q class terminations as their installation work was dena the s1:e hsy.
He explair,ed that the only differenca was tnat Quality Ocnts:1 roc dif ferent inspection modes for "Q" class terminations as comparad to m n.cafety related terminations.
Consequently, ha said he could not tall he r.any of tne lost TICS we.*e for "Q" class tarminations.

Regarding the losing of TICS. he believed they lost most of their cards in Noveder 1981 and in February 1982. He said the reason this happened during those two months was there were two engineers who handled the cards, and one.
engineer left in each of those months. He comented that he felt that the departures of these two engineers led to the loss of the cards because no one apparently kept control over the cards during those two months. JOHNSON said he didn't know the exact num6er of TICE which were lost.
)
On April 8,1983. JOHNSON advised that sometime after NRC began its investiga-tion into how TICS were be.ing processed, a new system of handling duplicate TICS was initiated. He further advised that duplicate cards had to be identi-fied as a duplicate by having the word " duplicate" printed on the front of the card. He said he believed this was Revision II to their work plan procedure (WP/P) for teminations (Attachment 15). He went on to say the new procedure authorizes him (JOHNSON) to verify that teminations with missing TICS have been made. He stated he would go into the field and check the teminations out himself. He said he then would go to the computer to obtain the. originally used crimp tool nuder. He claimed they had very few teminations where their computer didn't have a record of the number of the crimp tool used. He said if the computer didn't have the crimp tool number, then the temination had to be redone. On April 8.1983. JOHNSON was asked for his respor.se to allegations made.against him by Robert D. GUNDERSON, Jr. He denied the accusations made by GUNDERSON, Hector R. NUNEZ and other individuals, and stated he had not directed or asked anyone to sign off TICS for work which the individual had not performed.
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTE: GUNDERSON's identity had not been revealed to JOHNSON during his initial interview of June 29, 1982 since GUNDERSON had requested confidentiality at that time.
JOHNSOL on April 8,1983 voluntarily executed a sworn statement setting forth his coments made during the t'wo interviews. A copy of the statement is enclosed (Attachment 16).

1 STN 50-530 t-Dear Dr. Palladinos I am writing to respond to th May 11, 1982 letter of j
Arizona Public Service Company V e President Thomas Woods in which Mr. Woods requested an NRC investigation of Inter-l venor Patricia Lee Hourihan's allegations about deficiencies in the electrical systems at Palo Verde.
As attorney for Ms. Mourihan. I as today submitting i
l a m'otion to the Licensing Board for leave to file new contentions concerning serious deficiencies in the electrical work related to the safety systems at Palo Verde. and falsi-fication of reports on this electrical work.
We seek also an order from the Board protecting from disclosure the identity of the worker who has sworn to a detailed affidavit about these deficiencies vitally affecting the plants' safety.
1 Ms. Hourihan did not believe it appropriate to raise these issues in the licensing proceeding before she had an opportunity to protect this man, who has already re-ceived a death threat on his " life, and before she could at least'. partially substantiate the very serious, safety violations he alleged.
After obtaining an affidavit from the worker and con-
~ '
sulting with other experts about the soundness of Ms. Ecurihan, through the normal channels of.thCl.his charges.
itensing proceeding, moved that the Licensing Board admit new con-tantions and order an independent investigation of tpose
,s eu U " Q3 5 2 0-6-010$t&-.-q.
yst.1 5 p jo
.e c
c HAnwow & Wzzss POge two Page 2 of 3 allegations.
Ms. Mourihan is not using these serious allegations as a " delaying tactic."
Quite to the contrary, she wishes to Protect the safety of the worker, who has turned to her (and not to APS) in the hope of seeing his charges brought-j beform and carefully examined by the Licensing Board.
As explained in Intervenor's Motion for Leave to File New Contentions, the worker had previously been rebuffed by both the NRC inspector on-site and the NRC Las Vegas effice.
On several occasions he asked APS supervisors to remedy deficiencies in the electrical systems and to stop falsifi-I cation of records.
We,was told not to worry because the quality assurance inspectors would catch the problems.
l Because some of the records on electrical work were falsi-fied, however, the quality assurance program cannot possibly detect all these deficiencies.
In addition. Vice President E.E. Van Brunt's ' office showed little interest in the t
worker's complaints.
Moreover, it is Intervenor and not APS who is most concerned about protection of this man's life.
He has said in his affidavit that he and other workers fear being i
blackballed from work at all nuclear plants if they are identified as trohblemakers.
In addition, after a death threat he fears furthr harassment of himself and his j
family if his identity becomes public.
Because of the lack of response from APS and the NRC the worker spoke to Ms. Ecurihan about his concerns about i
The safety of the plant.
Ironically. APS seems more concerned I
w.\\th finding out the man's identity and the specifics i
ol' the chstges than with ensuring open litigation of the I
sa.fety issues before the Licensing Board.
In their attempt I
to rush these licensing hearings to completion, fcr example, i
Joint Applicants, including APS. have opposed Intervenor's attitmpts to address serious issues about the adequacy of the!.r water supply for safe operation and shutdown of Palo Verde.
l If now Joint Applicants are truly interested in a consttuctive airing of these allegations about deficiencies in the electrical systems and: falsification of records.
i I would expect they too will support Intervenor's Motion to Add New Contentions and Request for an Independent Investigation.
Sincerely yours.

- 2. I am a journeyman electrician, and have special proficiency in high-voltage cable splicing, stress splicing.
welding, electrical maintenance, establishing cable tray and cable tray supports, grounding grid pads and installing buse tools. I have over 19 years of direct work experience as an electrician and have worked for three years in nuclear power-houses.
i
- 3. From April 1980 to March 1982 I worked as an electrician employed by the Bechtel Power Corporation at the Palo Verde Nuclear Cencrating Station. My respankibilities during that time included high-voltage cable splicing arid stress splicing, and high-voltage testing.

Often I, or other employees I know, have signed these cards, and placed the letters "U.P." on the bottom of the l

10.
Many of the quality control employees are not qualified to inspect electrical work completed, including high-voltage splicing.-
11.
I was asked to splice a QC cable to the spray pond.
I told my supervisor that I was unable to splice any wire which was explicitly hooked up to a safety system i
(any red, green, blue or yellow-marked wire) unless I was shown technical specifications which permitted me to splice such wire.
I believe that no technical specifications allow the splicing of wires connected to important safety J
systems, especially the safe shutdown system for the pl' ant.

The unistrut, a component of the electrical con-trol cable shutdown system, does not meet minimum specifica-tions.

I did not leave my name or number and I did not call Mr. Van Brunt again'because T did not believe that he would do anything about the problems I wanted to point i

I reached this conclu'sion because I had ap-proached APS engineers on the job and told them about these problems many times.
They always told me that I 1
should not worry because the protisms would be caught by quality control.
I did not believe that AP3 was concerned about ensuring that these problems were solved.
I saw Ms. Patricia Lee Hourihan's name in the news-paper as intervenor and telephoned her as a last resort.
After the first meeting with Ms. Hourihan I received by telephone a death threat on my life.

electrician of which 3 years have been on nuclear projects.
My duties included high voltage cable termination and splicing.
While working at the site, I developed concerns on the adequacy of the electrical installations.

I was the only' one who answered the telephone and th'ere was no one else at home.
The male voice sounded like a young man in his 20's or 30's.
The voice was not familiar to me and I have no idea who might have made call. I have a listed telephone nua-ber, and I openly voiced 97, concerns to my fellow workers at the site.
On Maret 31, 1982, I received a telephone call at my home and,when I answered it there was no voice t

' The following paragra'phs detail the information in work practises that I feel should be brought to the at-6 tention of the Nuclear Regula' tory Commission.
1.
Improper Documentation of Cable Terminatic Records.
During my two year period of employment at the site, I was perio'dically required to sign for Quality f
Class terminations which I in fact did not make. This was a common practice for other workers in my discipline i
to do the same thing. Periodically, RICTOR NUNES, Gen-i
~
eral Foreman, or REGGIE J0ENSON, Superintendent, both with Bechtel, would prepare termination cards for sup-posedly completed terminations on quality class safety related systens and direct myself or other employees to sign the cards as the individual having performed the termination. We were not requested to verify the work had been properly performed.
Qa the cards that I signed I am not sure that the crisp tool shown on the card was i
(
actually used to perform the termination. The reasons, I was given by NUNES or JOHNSON for requiring signatures
{
issa that the originally completed cards had been lost by engineering, and the person who performed the work was unknown, or not at t site. Since I did not want to sign these cards and subsequently be held responsible INITIALS PAGE 5 of l9 PAGES i

Some other esployees, one of Ca r se whom was WA.'CI WALLENSTEDi, stated to me that they may have put a check, star, or other identifying mark in the lower left hand sorner of the form to indicate they had also signed sards for terminations that had not been' performed by them.
I das directed to sign two to three sards in
~
some weeks, and other times I flatly refused to sign them.
I personally signed only maybe a dozen cards al er and this was when 7. was in hot water and "I was told either i
do it or get anotbar job."
I estimate that 250 to 300 i
cards are involved which covered the work of five crews i
over the period from 1981 to 1982.
I know the following i
individuals were directed and did falsely sign termination t
cards indicating they had performed the termination: M i
KENNY ACUFF, PEIL AQUAYO, FORREST l
- RALL, and CARY WALLENSTEIN.
I also observed a souple of termination cards which were a,1 ready signed with l

Improper Splicing of Quality Class Safety Related Cables. Sometime after the first of the year in early January 1982, General Foreman MIKI C& GOOD directed that splices he made on red and green safety related con-trol cables w'aich had previously been burned by slag from overhead welding which fell on the sable trays.
CSGOOD asked me to provide him with heat shrink tubes tc be used on these splices.
1 did not observe the splinea but be-lieve that they were made with black heat shrink tubing 1
which were then covered by other cables.
The locations for these splices Are in Cabis trays 15 overhead of cor-ridor areas of the Auriliary Building of Unit 1. at the 200 foot level at about the 118 foot elevatica peuth east section and at 120 foot level st about the 133 foot elevation in the south west.stetien.

In one instance, I had to do a terminat-Son three times in one day, and it appeared that someone in start-up had shanged two of the wires in the sabinet after each time I hooked it up. This was verified by T~----,;y
.- Ji M a Black engineer whose L.<*.4 s e,a, u i - s.,8 anae I do not recall.
The Start-up personnel simply changed the wires any way they wanted fo. This is one tastance of a conson occurease.
4.
Use of Improper Janulation of Eigh Voltage Termination. An insulation material is used where lugs costact terminals to smooth sharp points especially near bolts to prevent damage to heat shrink tubias.
Originally, it was the practice to use a product of the 3M company I
called Scote 1
00 which eene in a black yad which was aguessable or formable.
I.ater, a material which I believe was supplied by the* Rayco company identified as 130 C which is in the form of a 1/2 inch wide tape and was used
- "to perfers this function.. The 130 C in hard or firm.

, as sent to Bechtel engineering about November igguestion-w ing this practice of using Scotchville 2200 for terminations.
Bechtel replied that Acotshv111e 2200 or 130 C could be used inter-changeably.
In October or November 1981, a new spec ification was issued which required the use of only 130 C on high voltage terminations. After the issue of the new spec-ification we started using 130 C on all high voltage splices.
It was believed that the reason for the change to130 C was based upon the fact that Scote Igoo was squeezing out of the heat shrink tubing and the heat shrink tubing was cracking where it contacted the corners of termination bolts.
I i
Ecotchville 2200 was originally on splices s.P 3 on the High Pres-fp sur In etion Pumps, I,ow Pressur ection Pumps, circul-ating water motors on the and of the turbines, and the eser-j gency motors of the water intake for the cooling towers and the spray ponds.
The change in specifications was not retro-setive to these or other motors previously terminated. While i
yerforming megger checks and high potting, the Start-up per-l t
sonnel removed the termination on all of the above motors
,ezcept the energency autors of the vater intake for the co-t oling towers, which are safety related.
Because of this, all of the other motors indicated had their Scotch Igg 2200 replaced with 130 C.

- 5. 'use of one Bol't 2,ug when a Two Bolt 2,u2 was Required.
In some lastances, Bechtel directed the instal 1ation of a one bolt lug, which has a 45 to 65 amp rating, ande on motors that run at 120 amps and 48o amp surge. This -
occured when motors were ressived from the manufacturer without any lugs attached. Bechtel engineers,ANDY ANDERSON and BOB RUFF, directed that one bolt lugs be installed on these motors.
This took place at a bout the last part of November or early part of December 1981.
One of the motora that was set up with a'ene bolt lug coming off of the actor and sonnecting it to a field cable that had a two bolt lug was the spray pond pump on the north side of the pond at the west end of Unit 1.
Two bolts were put tato the two bolt lug to make it look like there were two individual 1
two lug bolt properly connected. But the spray pond pump on the south side of the spray pond had a two bolt lug sosing off of the motor.
This use of a one bolt lug was 1
j done in all the motors mentioned in Item 4.above except for 1
i the circulating water pump.
KEVIN BROYHILL* was advised by as of this attempt to make the connections look like they had two individual two bolt lugs fastened together when one lug was only a one bolt lug. BROYHILL prepared a Nonconformance Report INITIALS PAGE 10 of 19 PAGES

I was sailed on several times during my employsent to spend a s'ouple of days training new QC inspectors for electrical. Many of these inspectets had no background in the electrical field and the only training they re-ceived was the amount of time I could spend with them in their initial two days of training.
An instance that demonstrates the QC inspectors lacking electrical knowledge occured when REGGII JOEl3CN and IECTOR NUNIZ wanted se to splice the QC cable in a manhole in front of the spray pond of Unit 1.
The cable had been run for the auction motors but the sable was too short.
The code does not allow this splicing.
I had to go to five QC insy tors before I could find one to -
..' say the splicing of the,AC cable was not to be done.
The other QC inspectors [were not sure of what to do so they apparently went along with the desires of the construction personnel.

The lastance relating to 'the taproper splicing of cables to the spray pond pump mot only illustrated the lack of i

Belating back to Item 5, BROYEILL put a QC red tag on the Nigh Pressure Safety Za.iection Pump located

The x-ray personnel put an x-ray warning sign over the door into the vessel but did not check to ses if any one was in the inside. They proceeded to z-ray the piping but the distances and period of time are unknown to me.
The operators stated that their x-ray machine would penetrate 10 to 12 inches of steel.
The two electricians lodged a complaint over the possibility of receiving a radiation overdose, and were required to fill out a brief report for APS.

Since 1*979 through Christmas 1981,'there have been instances where electricians or pipetitters changed unistrut brackets supporting electrical trays aid /or piping after it had been l
bought off by QC. This ip done sometimes to make it fit their own purposes or to get even with members of management or QC inspectors. 'This is done on the lower elevations of the control building of Unit 2.. It has been done to get even with RAY WOODS, a General Foreman with Bechtel, and YASEIMOTO, General Foreman for the electrical union, be-cause the men get and at them for firing a craftsman for such things as drinking coffee, takir.g too many early " outs,"
etc. They do it to get even with QC inspectors who have been
- giving them a bad time.
In some cases, they deliberately do
, a bad modification on the unistrut so it will be noticed. The QC name and number is stamped on the labed plate for the bra-sket and it makes it look like the inspector bought off -
obviously bad work, and it could result in the inspector being terminated.

CUNDERSON:
About 26 months... Sechtel.
SEACKLETON:
And your job tJtle' on Palo Verde?
CUNDERSON:
Eigh voltage terminator. I've done just small terminations. Mainly high voltage.
(Fause)
SEACIIITON:
0.K. Bob. now I want... I want to get into, so that John can have benefit of being able to talk to you directly-because you two guys can talk and understand each or.ber ar.d John is gonna have te bird dog what your concerts are, so it. it would be a big help for him to nail things down as close as possible to where these various things are located.
~
i And 1. I prepared very roughly, as a result of our conversations, uh. an outline and the first one addrasted the falsification of termination cards, and, uh. these termination cards, l'a not familiar because 1 haven't seen one, but I had it described to be and usually the fellows tell se that a QC inspector also signs it off. is that...
are those the ones,that you're talking about?
I l
t l
CUNDERSON:
Yes, sir.
I SEACKLITON:
Are they set up that way?

Uh-huh.

21 SEACKLETON:
When they ask you to sign off a termination card for work that you didn't perform...
)
GUNDgSON:
Right.
~
SEACKLITON:
... then they also had to have some QC inspector sign it off.
GUNDERSON:
Right.
SFbCKI.ETON: 'And'how do they do that. Bob? Do you know, do you know what
...?
C*.'NDERSON:
They just tell them we lost a card, here it is, the work is done and they'll go out and look az the work sometimes sometimes they won't, and they just sign it off.
~
SEACEI.ETON:
Iave you ever seen any QC inspector sign any of these off in your presence?
CUNDERSON:
I've seen them where they have... in the QC trailer...
where they have gone out and inspected it and brought the
. cards back in and signed off. They'll have a hand full of cards that they say they've already inspected, whether or not they inspected or not. I don't know, but they've done the work right there, you know; I can't es11 the man a liar and say that he didn't do it.' because I didn't see him check it.
9 3HACEI.ETON:
Eave you ever seen any of these fellows like Reggie JONNSON sh. or Rector NUNIZ direct QC people to sign them off without inspection?
CUNDERSON:
No. No I haven't seen them direct any QC people.

SEACELETON:
Do you have any QC inspectors out there that, that you wod1d recommend to as to talk to, who would be knowledgeable about t'ae improper proi:edures on termination cards?
^*
a CUNDERSON:
Oh, you've got... Eavin SROTHILL is out there...
SEACKLETON:
Yeah,'right. I got that name.
CUNDERSON:
0.K.
And then, uh, the guy over him... now I can't think i
of his name... I didn't do too much with him. I only seen him a few times. But he seems pretty sharp. Uh, the rest of them I just don't know that well.
SEACILETON:
And you told me when we talked before that Kevin resides 4
in, in...
CUNDERSON:
Phoenix.
i SEACELETON:
... Phoenix, so his name is... we'll probably be able to j
find him in the phone book. If not, we can trace him
. through the plant. John, do you have any questions you want to go over on these termination cards?
E!.IN:
Yeah, let me go over this... you're saying that there is altogether about 250 to 300 cards that you think were not signed properly?
4 i
l CUNDERSON; Were signed improperly. Yes.
ELIN:
0.K.
nd they're signed by electricians as the electrician having installed the cable den in fact they did not.

And this, these took place over in 1981, 19827
~
CUNDERSON:
Yes.
k 4..
EIN:
Do you have any idea what particular time period we're i
talking about?
i I
GUNDERSON:
Oh, no. But, there, they run... sometimes they'll have
)
'one or two a week and sometimes they won't have any for a
?
while and then they'll have lost a bunch of cards, so they'll come up with a stack of them.
J l
EIN:
So, this was not a one-time effort; it was like a couple of weeks they will have you sign.
CUNDERSON:
Yeah. It was... it ran on the whole time I was there.
EIN:
0.K.
So what you are required to do was sign two or three extra per weekt i
GUNDERSON:
Right.
EIN:
That was what was happening.
i CUNDERSON:
Now most of the people, and I have a man's name for you to get a hold of which will swear to it, just vent ahead and signed 'em.
I didn't. I refusd to sign some and put "UP"
]
l under the other one. Because it was the point where now if f
I don't want to sign them, they would just fire you.
i EIN:
What was the purpose for having you sign these cards?
l l
24 CUNDERSON:
They had loss them. They had lost the record of th e.
ELIN:
The foreman hadcloat them? Is that...
GUNDERSON:
No, magineering had leit them, so they'd come back to
~
Reggie with the cards...
EIN:
Wow, the way things usually work.is, uh, let we see if I get this right. When you pun the cable er da the termination, ;pou get a terminatica card that says this is.

what you ara going 16 tessinate, tu ?.hmt
...?

CUNDERSON:
0.K.
After the cable is' pulled, there's suppered to be a QC inspector there to watch the cable being pulled in any quality control cable.

So you had a emble rull card?
CUNDERSON:
Eight. That's the pull card.

CUNDERSON:
Allright. Ftom that point, they come to us vith the terminatian card; as they're surning systems over, they'll want a specific systen...
ELIN:
Terminated...

CmCE150N4 fe.K. Tben when vs... after we get done terair.ating the sard..theti.,,ph QC esses out and inspects it for the tatminatish.
1 22,I'(:
And theT go to this bin. uh...
CU!Cf140!!!
No it ksa to 30... afttr I've signed the card off, my foreman logs it back out of my imana of the book, be turns it
~
over to Mec$ct IrJNZ2, Eactor gives it to Reggie J0ENSON, Reggie JOHNS 0H givea it to QC, QC goes out and inspeer.s it.
and then if they have any problems. it goes back down to Esctor, to our foranan, and back to us to correct any probless that QC wsnc buy.
EL*IN:
C.K.
SEAC)CLITON:
Correct me if I'm wrong then. Bob. Now that we know that... the stere QC than wouldn't really know whether or not the craf tsman's name was on there was right or not.
would they?
GUNDERSON:
No.
SHACE1.ZTON:
I see.
I I
L GUNDERSON:
No, because they've lost the card. They don't know if the name is right, they don't knov if the termination tool is right, they don't know anything other than they can go cut
~
l and see whether the work was physically done or not done.
i l
t SEACKLEION:
So, what I'm getting at, is I'm trying to get a full f
l picture of who could be invol'ed in any falsification. They v
i could be innocent.
l l
l
n-,
(
(
(.
27 CUNDERSON:
Certainly.
g SMACEl.ETON:
The qc peoplef,
CUNDELSON:
Sure. Because yod've given them a card with... that's signd off by your name, with a tool, with a date, and that's al'1 the man has got to go by and he takes that card.
Now they have a margin in whic'h they write all their propaganda down on in the margin, what they want done. They tear that margin off betters QC gets it, so if they make a mistake. QC
'doesh't get a copy of it., It's where the possum markers are at.
I
$1!ACKLETON:
Is that la violation of procedure or...
CIT.fDERSCN:
I don't know. it's just a margin and it has a possum marker with the I.D. of.the wire and its origin and its and, where it begins and where it ends.
ELIN:
Are these computer generated cardst l
l CUNDEX.30W:
Yes, they are.
ELD:
0.E.
The possums are little markers they put on the tags to say (unintalligible).
CUNDD10s:
Right. To slide over the wirs, pull it up. Right.
ELIN:
0.E.
Us so what was happening was they... your foreman or your boss would ask you to submit two or three astra cards per week other than the ones you have terminated, is that
...?
t C
28 CUNDERSON:
- 1. I didn't get, I only terminated maybe a dozen of them altogether,' and the only time I terminated them was when I sot in hot water, and it was either do it or go look for anather job.
~
ELIN:
.You mean,* sign the termination cards. So, but they, he
=
1 would, he would give you a dozen or so to... er, uh...
1 CUNDERSON:
Ee'd give them, yeah, he'd give some people, 6 1
6 and, uh, M s many of them as they vant'ed to sign. gomatimes they would sign off ten damn cards, but it made 'am look good. We got all the work done.
They didn't ask no questions. They weren't told that there was anything wrong with it. You can't sign off work you didn't do.
(and of tape)
ELD::
... whoever put the card out knew that there...
- CUNDERSON:
They would tell you. Reggie JOHNSON and Hector NUNEZ vould tell you that they were cards, cards lost by engineering.
ELIN:
0.K.
So they...
CUNDERSON:
Everybody knew it..Or it was a person where thsy had lost the card. and it wasn't the original persen that signed it, but the person that~ originally signed the card had been terminated, lef t th' job, wasn't here anymore and it was a
done a year and a half ago. They didn't know who did it.

1M1 (602) 2ss 484s 92s South s2nd Street, Sulte #2 Tempe, Arizona,8s281 May 4, 1982 i
[ar]
Thank you for calling to our attention on March 21, 1982, an incident you reported occurring on January 21, 1982, which you alleged resulted in your
being exposed to ionizing radiation at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. ARPA staff have investigated the alleged incident.
Statements of individuals involved and. documentation of the re-creation of the incident have been received and reviewed.
Based on the records reviewed, on-site inspection, the reenactment, and the physical inspection, the following assessment has been made.
A total of 6 radiographic exposures were made, each exposure lasting one minute and. ten secords. The source consisted of 76 curies of Radium-192. Measur'ements in the area indicate that you werc approximately 17 fcct at the nearcst point from the source to a distance of 22 feet from the weld being radiographed.
Because of structural material between your location and the location of the radiographic source, measurements taken during the re-creation indicate a
~
maximum of approximately 28 millirems of exposure. The calculations show that had there been no shielding due.to structural material or the use of a colli-mator, you would have been exposed to 201 mR (equivalent to an air dose of 174 millirad). This represents the worst case dose exposure you could possibly have received.
The worst case value is 35% of the dose limit for members of the general public and 3.5% of that for an occupational worker.
(Your employ '
nent does not qualify you as a radiation worker.)
The ARRA appreciates your bringing this incident to our attention as evidence of possible safety problems on this project.
Further inspections and possibly other action will be taken by this agency to cause radiographers to morc care-fully check the areas prior to starting their work, in keeping with standard
. operating procedures. Should you have any further questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate in contacting us. We will be more than happy to answer your questions.
Sincerely, 0 1 8 F.

Page 1 of 5 Construction Testing April 26, 1982' Deaj I am writing this letter in response to your request, as the result of our telephone conversation of April 1,
- 1982, for information pertaining to a radiation safety incident of January 21, 1982, at the Palo Verde, Arizona, Nuclear Generating Station.
It is the intent of GEO Construction Testing to inform you of the facts surrounding the incident of January 21, 1982, i
in which you were involved.
An investigation of. the indident revealed that, while GEO Construction Testing was performing radiographic operation.s in containment 1, 100' elevation, the following events took place:
A Radiographer.and his assistant, after setting up an-exposure device containing 75 curies Iridium 192 source, reported clearing, establishing and posting the, radiation and high radiation areas, proceeded to perform radiography.
They reported barricading and posting (sings) all accessible areas on the 80',
100' and 140' elevations.
The approximate time of the first exposure was 11:30 p.m.
After completion of six (6) 1 minute and 10 seconds collimated exposures (2 weld), we were notified by you that you were present in the restricted (posted) area during radiography.
Based on the information available, it is uncertain whether you crossed our radiation barricades, or were in the area at the time it was established.
If you were in the area and location as stated (see attached diagram) during the' entire six (6) exposures, the following are GEO's calculations as to the

Tungsten Coll'imators provide shielding sufficient to reduce the intensity of radiation to one (1) one-tenth and one-tenth + two (2) one-half v,alue layers.

Tungsten Collimators have a thickness range,from
.55 to.700 inches.
MR dose of 229.444 plus shielding would equal the following:
229.444 + TVL (.40) = 22.944 HR dose.
229.444 + TVL (.40) + \\ VL (.12)
+
VL (.12 ) = 5.736 MR dose GEO Construction Testing's conclusion is that the calculated whole body exposure received by you during the incident of January 21, 1982, could have been:

The worst possible exposure would not have exceeded 229.444 millirems.
GEO

_A nvi l 26. 1982 N
-Page three 2.
Howevgr, it'is CEO's contention that the exposure received was something less than 23 millirems.
Note:
The above exposure calculations do not take into consideration shielding from steci piping, grading and etc., that was between you and the shielded source.
We would like to submit to you the following comments pertaining to radiation exposure:-
1.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Rules and Regula-tions Title 10, Part 20, Paragraph 20.105 " Permissible levels of radiation in unrestricted areas" is:
(1). Radiation levels which, if an individual were continuously present in the area, could result in his receiving a dose in excess of two millirems in any one hour, or (2)
Radiation levels which, if an individual were continuously present in the area,-could result in his receiving a dose in excess of 100 millirems in any seven consecutive days, or a dose in any period of one calendar year in excess of 0.5 rems.
2.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide (July 1981) 8.29 pertains to how much radiation does the average person who does not work in the nuclear industry r'eceive.
(Information attached Hopefully the information contained in this correspondence has answered any questions you may have had pertaining to the incident of January 21, 1982.
However, should you have any additional questions, please feel free to call me collect at (415) 573-6000, extention 200.

How much radiation does she overage persen who does not work in the nuclear industry receive! -
We are au esposed from the moment of conception to ionizing radiation (som sewral sources Our environment, and even the human body, contains naturally occurris g radioactive rnaterials that contribute some of the back grou nd radiation we receive. Cosmic radiation criticating in space and in the sun contributes additional esposust. The use of x+ rays and radioactive materials in medicinc and dentistry adds considerably to our population exposure Table 6 shows est' mated average indiv1 dual exposure in millitesnt frorn natural background and other sources.'
