Dear Mr. Gaskill:

Thank you very much for providing us the opportunity to work with you in regard to your concerns on Wolf Creek Generating Station. We have looked into the ,

matters which you brought forth, those of harassment, Nonconformance Reports, and questionable procedures.

Investigative and inspection activities have been completed regarding your allegation that you were harassed by a construction hanger superintendent over a nonconformance report dealing.with improper welding amperage used on hangers at the Wolf Creek Generating Station.

The NRC Office of Investigation (01) reviewed KG&E's Quality First investigative files concerning the alleged harassment and intimidation. The reports appeared to have adequately addressed the issues of harassment and intimidation, and appropriate disciplinary action was taken against the superintendent in question.

Additionally, inspections were conducted regarding Nonconformance Report No. ISN-15342-PW relating to Daniel International that involved improper welding amperage used on hangers at Wolf Creek. A' review of Daniel International Procedure Technique Sheet No. N-8-8-4, Rev. O, was conducted to determine if a "use as is" disposition would be acceptable for welding with 3/32" electrode using an amperage of 105. Since the ASME Code,Section IX, does not list a change in amperage as an essential element for requalification of this procedure, a "use as is" disposition is acceptable.

We want you to know that we here in the NRC appreciate your time, efforts, and responsible actions in these matters of your concerns. We thank you for your interest in the safety of the activities at Wolf Creek.

Sincerely, M

T. A. Nash Investigations / Allegations Coordinator, RIV
