MEMORANDUM FOR: Mark Emerson, Allegation Coordinator FROM Jim Luehman, Senior Resident Inspector, Waterford 3 3 l

SUBJECTS ALLEGATIONS AT WATERFORD 3 f(p-A-l W y ,On December 4, 1986 H. Kerch (NDE Inspector USNRC Region I) informed me 1 that earlier that day he had been approached by an individual, who refused to identify himself, wanting to express a concern about health physics l prcctices in the containment' building. Specifically, the individual stated l tha Radiation Work Permit (RWP) 86-1249 required the use of air hoods but i rocpirators were being used because of the lack of adequate air hoods. Tom Otoker (Resident Inspector) and I have looked into this concern to d3termine if there could be a possible radiological saf ety concern. To this point we have found numerous paperwork and procedure problems with the 11*gensee's RWP program, which have been discussed with B. Murray and H.

Cheney of Region IV, but no immediate radiological concern. H. Chaney will q conduct an inspection- at Waterford 3 nekt week and he plans to look further into the RWP program problems.

A f ew minutes later Mr. Snowden escorted asco to my office. This individual told me that he had been ces Inc. to be a quality control inspector during the current refueling outage however, LP&L refused to certify him as an inspector. He went on to tell me that he had been a quality control inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One and that he and other quality control inspectors were fired because they ref used to, accept unqualified welders and improper welds. Further he stated that he and others were part of a Icwsuit against Arkanses Power and Light and that he had already talked to you or someone in Region IV abou at AP&L.
