SUBJECT:

DIABLO CANYON ALLEGATI0tlS The attached documents were discussed with you briefly last week. As you will note, the Joint Intervenors' reply appends a number of new documents which should be examined by the Staff and given appropriate consideration.

In addition, the Joint Intervenors have complained that, even.with deletions of names and other identifying information, PG&E has been able to identify informants and has allegedly taken some type of retaliatory action. For this reason, they have submitted four additional documents only to the Appeal Board and have sought a protective order to avoid disclosing these documents to the Staff and PG8E even with deletions made.

In light of this, we have filed the attached answer with the Appeal Board supporting a more limited form of protec-tive order which would provide for disclosure to the Staff and the licensee the documents in question with the deletion of the names and any identifying infoma-tion relating to the informant.

The above, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

My name is Harold W. Karner.

I am employed by Pullman Power Products as Manager, Quality Assurance / Quality Control, at Diablo Canyon Power Plant. On May 31, 1984, I issued an interoffice memorandum to all Pullman QA/QC inspectors onsite which stated, inter alia, that "A-307 bolts with the heads removed are NOT acceptable." My intention when issuing the memo was not to imply that the prior use of A-307 bolts as studs was technically unacceptable, but merely to procedurally stop a practice which had evoked enough controversy that its continuation was not deemed desirable.The memo was written to specifically address DR-5892, which referenced A-490 and A-193 B7 studs, and to provide auditional controls on the type of carbon steel stud material which can be welded without extra case-by-case authorization.

2 1635d.

~

The May 31, 1984 memo does not in any way alter the position taken in PGandE's Response to Joint Intervenors' Motion to Reopen the Record on the Issue of Construction Quality Assurance, Attachment C, pages 12-13. A-307 1

Grade B bolts / studs are weldable and have been properly welded and meet all specification and code requirements for weldability, chemical composition, strength, and traceability.

There was no technical reason why I included the statement regarding the use of A-307 Grade B bolts as studs.

I only meant that from that date forward, Pullman welders could no longer make A-307 Grade B studs from A-307 Grade B bolts without prior QA/QC approval.

I have read the preceding two pages and the information outlined therein is true and accurate to the best of ry knowledge.
