There was a deal with Rick Snyder, and I think it y

74 Q

That would be e Snyder-Saklak incident?

Yes, ma'am.

Q And that would have been, to the best of your 8

recollection, the day before the group of you went to the NRC 7

!g wanted x amount done.

This was when we had a tremendous D.

m f2 backlog, and then we had a backlog of NCR, ICR.

We were

- +

f[3 promised all kinds of stuff to get this done, get that done.

4 I don't believe it affected anybody's inspections.

Right now g

5 today I would say you have got a very good inspection force 6

out there now, which is a change, like I said, from what they A

17 did have.

I mean it's 100 percent different.

q

}8 And I don't believe that anything was hurt on that 4;g matter except that geople would get tired of being pushed to W

10 do this or that because with Commonwealth Edison's knowledge 1

and background in these plants, I think my problem comes to that I can't see how they let some of this go for so long

  • 2

..J before it was caught, and now we're paying for it in the sense 4

of doubling our work or three times inspecting the same 5

hanger.

I have inspected some hangers as many as seven

?

times, the same hanger that someone else has inspected, it has been rejected or bought off.

Their documentation is what --

not Comed's, but Comstock's documentation, or Ernst, if you i

want to call it Ernst, that one time it was, their documentation has either been lost or thrown away or dumped, v

l and I think that's why you have, or I should say they had, 4

-eq

-p 85 h

g the problem with these backlogs and the pressure to get

'2 something done.

CECO gives a time limit, says I want x done o

e

,f '3 by this certain date, just like your startup date.

And if it g

g can't'be done, it naturally puts pressure on management and on 4j, 5

down the line.

I have been in both spots, so I know.

g At that t,ime there was pressure to do the job, and you did have to do, I would say, more work. I mean you were at 7

i

)'

a constant run, where today I'm a lead of welding inspectors s

1 s

9 now, and I explain to my people how I want them to do M' 10 something, and I could care less what Comed or BESTCO or any 1 il of the rest tell me they want done.

It's going to get done l

,' 12 the way I want it done, not to the way they want it done.

33 Q

One of the problems you just identified was lack of j 14 documentation or missing documentation.

{ 15 A

Yes, ma'am.

16 Q

To the best of your knowledge, the lack of 37 documentation or missing documentation has either been NCR'd 18 or ICR'd; is that correct?

s

'19 A

That I couldn't swear to.

They lose my documents l 20 all the time.

31 Q

Who loses your documents?

l 82 A

Our vault.
