27. Since the Reedy Report indicates that the d: sign QA/OC process is de(4cient, and the Phase 11 review to dEte indicates that the sample of non-seismic safety design output revieeed, which was a result of the Of/OC process, te alco deficient, I conclude that there can be no confidence tpa t the non-scir-ic cafety design has baen adeguately irT?cm nted for non?al and accident modes of resetor o.S? ration in accordence with the requirerenta of the NPC regulations and the opcrating license applicatton co.-altsents in the Diablo Ca9 yon I S ?.#. The Phase 11 simpling has served its intended purpose. N o w, sinilar to the 3

seismic re te sign, it is im pe ra t ive that the design of all safety features for all important safety systems be revaew.d and .

reverified in a statiscally valid reannec since judges-t satpling is no le,nger varranted or appropriate.

Es-;ver, neither the under voltage nor the r5 Jnt trip coil which are su'acocponents of the sct an breaker and essential to its function were ptoper ly classified as safety equipment. As a result, the y did not receive the required maintanance.

19. At a tecent Cbomission briefing on the falem events, Mt . Denton descr ibed the probles as a total breakdown.

F.oteover, the Salem f 2ilutes der.onstrate that the NT:C Staf f test be assured that Diablo Canyon has implecented a syr.tc. z tic, qt niity program that provides the necessary care for the equip sent according to its safety significance.

44. An integral clenent of TES's verificction pregrem is l'

sa,pling of stt uctures, systems, and es ponents to dutctr.ine that they ate in fact designed or constructed in 6cco:dence with applicable regaitements.

for riditional verification. In shott, TCS has proposed to use saapling extensively with.at ptoviding adequate guidelincs or criteria for evaluation of that sampling. Thus, the TES program should be altered as follows:

(a) Define the confidence Icvol which the c'uditors desite to achieve fot each carp 1f ng ef fot t and provide the basis for selection of that confidence l'evel.

(b) Provid the statistical basis for the rel.tive sizg of scrple utilized in each case. If the cr.ple is stratified, the basis and justifiestion fot the l stratification should be given.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC CDMPANY'S RESPONSE TO MARCH 29, 1983 AFFIDAVIT OF RICHARD B. BUBBARD on March 29, 1983, two weeks before the oral argument scheduled before the

" Supplemental Affidavit of Richard B. Hubbard Concerning Breakdowns in the Diablo Canyon Quality Assurance Program."1 There are no provisions in the Ccrraission's Rules of Practice,10 C.F.R. Part 2, for this unusual filing, nor has the Appeal Board established procedures for or invited sutraissions of last minute pleadings or affidavits. For this reason and others, not the least of v5ich is that the subject matter of the affidavit has never been placed before the Appeal Board, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGandI) feels ccrpelled to sutnit this last minute response.

1. This affidavit, sutraitted on behalf of Governor Deukmejian, purports to be a supplement to an earlier affidavit sulnitted by the other intervening party, Joint Intervenors, on June 8, 1982.

I. P;JCIAL SIIPULATION ,

During the firrt week of April, the counsels for PGandE, the Governor of California and the NRC Staff attempted to arrive at certain stipulations regarding the proceedings pending before this Board.

In the final analysis those parties were only able to agree on three itens: reopening the record; scheduling; and forum. While the three parties agree that the record may be reopened, they could not agree on the wording of a contention. It is the position of PGandE that the contentiori should read as follows:

The record in this proceeding may be reopened for the purpose of determining whether the verification program is an adequate remedy for the QVQC deficiencies detected in design activities at Diablo Canyon.

The apparent stumbling block to reaching agreement on the contention is that PGandE does not believe a basis exists for reopening the record en construction QA/QC while counsel for the Governor believes they have the right to litigate the adequacy of construction QA/QC at Diablo Canyon.

i It was agreed, however, that should hearings be held, the following schedule would be adhered to assuming the IDVP Phase II Final Report is issued by June 15, 1983:

Congletion of Discovery July 1, 1983 Motions for Surmary Disposition July 8, 1983 Response to Motions for Sunnary July 18, 1983 Disposition Testimony in hand July 25, 1983 Start of Hearings August 2, 1983 Close of Hearings August 13, 1983 The parties also agreed that this Board should retain jurisdiction of these proceedings for purposes of conducting any such hearings.

II. NO BASIS EXISTS FOR PSOPENING SE 72CED ON CIES"RUCTION QA/QC l

PGandE believes that the standards for reopening the record have been met as respects the alleged detected deficiencies in design Q V QC and that the contention set forth supra may be admitted. S e question is not, as set forth in"the motions to reopen presently pending before the Board, whether the record should be reopened to take evidence on PGandE's QVQC program during the past 13 years. Such a hearing would serve no purpose. D e NRC in noting certain deficiencies in design QVQC program for Diablo Canyon required a verification program. S e question then is whether the verification programs instituted post September 1981 are an adequate remedy for those deficiencies.

S e intervenors in these proceedings are also arguing that the record i

should be reopened to determine the adequacy of construction QVQC. PGandE vehemently opposes the motion in that respect. B ere is no basis for reopening the record on construction QVQC under either the regulations or case law. The latest Hubbard affidavit adds nothing in this regard. Se primary thrust of the Hubbard affidavit is to criticize the Independent Design Verification Program (ID7P) established for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant and to argue for a substantive determination that the IDVP should be i

expanded.2 Quite apart from the inhererit unfairness of subnitting a long i

2. The Iff1P was established in response to the Co=ission's Noverber 19, 1981 ' Order Suspending License," CLI-81-30, NRC , and a letter of the same dace from Harold R. Denton, Director, Office of thiclear Reactor f

Regulation. Phase I of the IDVP relates solely to the seismic design of the plant and reflects the requirements of the Com:ission Order. Phase II involves mostly non-seismic design issues and is responsive to PJ.

Denton's letter. S e original design error that precipitated the low power license suspension was seismic, and the Ccrmtission's emphasis in its verification requirements has been on seismic design. While both

' the Phase I and Phase II activities have been expanded beyond those originally required by the Comission's Order and Mr. Denton's letter, the Phase I activities are the core cocprehensive. The pri.ary purpose of the Hubbard affidavit appears to be an argument that the Phase II l

review should be similarly expanded.

i

4-and detailed factual affidavit at the eleventh hour, leaving PGandE inadequate time to pfepare a point-by-point rebuttal, the affidavit si:: ply does not go to the question now before the Appeal Board as raised by Mr. Hubbard's clients.

R us, a detailed response by PGandE or the other parties to the allegations l put forth in the affidavit would necessarily be directed to the merits of substantive issues which are singly not before the Board at this juncture.

l In Septenber 1982 PGandE requested Teledyne Engineering Services (TES) to engage Stone & Webster Engineering Services (SWEC) to perform evaluations and verifications of construction quality related activities at Diablo Canyon. W e contractors reviewed were Wismer & Becker (W&B), who performed installation of NSSS piping, and G. F. Atkinson (GFA), who performed civil / structural work in the containment building at Diablo Canyon Unit No. -

1. m at verification was requested to further establish the adequacy of construction QA/CC at the site.3 SWEC nc.c only looked at the two major c:ntractors set forth above, but additional subcontractors. n e final results of those verification efforts are set forth in I m (36,IRev. O and Im #38, Rev. 1, dated February 25, 1983 and March 16, 1983, respectively. R ose final l repo.-ts are attached to this response as exhibits A and B. We verification effort concluded that: (1) PGandE adequately controlled construction contractors to assure the quality of construction; (2) the as-constructed

-hysical installation conformed to the requirements of des'.cn drawings and g ecifications; (3) the required inspections were performed and aopropriately documented; and (4) no additional verification was reccxrended.4 mis conclusion was confirmed by TES in its March 25, 1983 semimonthly report, the pertinent part of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

• In conclusion, the Hubbard suppleaental affidavit presents absolutely no ev'idenc'e uponNhich this Board can reopen the record on construction QA/QC under either 10 C.F.R. 2.714(a) or applicable cases such as In the Matter of Kansas Gas and Electric Cb. (Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit 1), ALAB-462, 7 NRC 320, 337-339 ,(1978).
