< This investigation was initiated to identify and document. alleged intimidation and harassment of Pullman Power Products, Inc. (PPP) Quality Control (QC) welding inspectors by the company's construction management personnel. PPP, head-quartered in Williamsport, PA, is under contract to install all piping and piping supports associated with the construction of the Alvin W. Vogtle Nuclear Plant (VNP), in Wdynesboro, GA, a licensed facility" of the Georgia Power Company.
Additionally, it was reported to the NRC that the intimidation and harassment experienced by the QC welding inspectors may have resulted in possible improprieties regarding inspection records prepared and maintained by these individuals.
The allegation pertaining to intimidation and harassment of OC welding inspectors by the Project Manager at the VNP was first reported to the Senior Resident 2nspector (SRI), NRC at the facility. This initial allegation was substantiated by the SRI'during the subsequent interviews of four additional QC welding inspectors empicyed by PPP. Additionally, a Confidential Source alleged vast PPP material storage problems, records improprieties and incidents of intimidation by the Project Manager and his construction superintendents. The SRI obtained information that QC inspectors were being manipulated by the Project Manager l through threats relating to adverse personnel actions affecting employment and l
salary matters. Additionally, the Project Manager allegedly interfered with the utilization of OC welding inspectors and attempted to influence the reassignments of inspectors wt.cse work histories did not f avor producticn and scheduling. An onsite incident of assault in August 1982 upon a Q weiding inspector by a
' construction superintendent, both employees of PPP, was also reported tc the SRI.
A review of pertinent regulatory documents, stancards, procecures anc contract requirements was conducted pursuant to the investigation. It was disclosed that PPF committed to cooperate with the licensee to ensure 0: standards for the VNP are enforced at all times. Further, this review disclosec that the line of autherity regarding administrative matters for the QA/QC marager at the fielo office site of PPP is through thp Project Manager. It was cetermined that PPP or
2 i
a subsidiary company was the subject of previous inquiries regarding intimidation and harassment of QC inspectors at the Seabrook Nuclear Plant, Seabrook, New Hampshire and at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant, Avila Beach, California. A licensee initiated self evaluation in late 1982, utilizing Institute of Nuclear power Operations (INPO) criteria, identified that the QA/0C administrative reporting to the Project Manager is an area of weakness in the PPP field organi-zation. .
During the investigation, nineteen field level QC welding inspectors in PPP's field office at the VNP were interviewed regarding intimidation and harassment, interference by the Project Manager and inspection records improprieties. Five of these individuals confirmed vast material storage deficiencies which are I compounded by the overt refusals on the part of construction management to divert craft efforts to correct the problems. These inspectors viewed the construction supe-intendent's negative attitude toward Sterage Inspection Report deficiencies as a form of intimidation. Some of these inspectors also related instances of ;
i nter f e rent ' and intervention into QC inspector assignment matters by construc-tion management to favor scheduling and the production effort. All except one of the OC inspectors interviewed reported variously that the Project Manager has I attempted to influence the utilization of, and decisions rendered by, inspe: tors; that the salary administration and other benefits for QA/QC personnel controlled j by the project Manager is unfair and inequitable; that he arbitrarily adjusts recommended salary increases based upon subjective criteria; that he is frequently publicly non-supportive and negative towards the QC function; that he anc construction superintendents publicly chastise and embarass inspe: tors and that he employs remarks which threaten job security as a means of intimidation I
'$nd harassment. The lone dissenting 0; inspe::cr was ceter-ined to be a personal I
friend of the Project Manager and had been the recipient cf preferential' treat- I ment reSarding a job assignment on site. Those inspectors with knowledge of an !
onsite altercation, in August 1982, between a former PPP Construction Super-intendent and a QC Welding Inspector inci(m'.ec that the superintendent disagreed with the inspector's perception of the non-conforming iter being discussed. One inspector reported an offsite altercation in December 1952 between a Construction Superintendent and a OC Inspector supervisor durine which the superintendent held ar. open knife on the 0: supervisor.

4 Eight licensee management officials and QC inspection personnel at the VNP were interviewed regarding their knowledge of intimidation and harassment of QC welding snspectors employed by PPP. No disclosures pertinent to the investi- i gation were revealed during these interviews. Observations of PPP material storage areas tended to support remarks reported by QC inspectors regarding the general disarray of materials and common utilization of these areas by several cajor contractors onsite. A review of QC welding inspector salary data disclosed I that there does not appear to be a specific correlation between the amounts of recent weekly increases received and longevity, related experience and education levels of these individuals. l l

Inspection of Pullman Power Products, Williamsport, Pa.
During this reporting period, on July 26 - 28,'1983, the Inspector joined personnelfrom the Region IV Vendor Branch in an inspection at Pullman Power Piping in Williamsport, Pa. The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the corporate Quality Assurance and management support for field operations. This was accomplished by an initial review of the Internal Audit Procedure XVIII 3-1-79 v'ich describes the lead Auditor Qualification Audit objective, Audit Schedule, implementation, QA checklist and audit follow-up. In addition, all of the audit reports from Jeauary,1982, to the present were reviewed to the requirements of.the above procedure. These audit re-ports appeared to be descrihive, showing well-defined and sufficient scope and depi however, it appeared that some of the auc(it findings that require follow-up actions of various kinds were not alwah,s clear in showing that the follow-up actions were taken 1 and completed. These opinions were expressed and discussed with the Director of Quality Assurance for Field Operations.
The second~part of the audit was performed by reviewing field reports and correspondence from the Field Q. A. Manager to the Director of Quality Assurance relative to corporate Q. A. support of Field Quality Assurance effort. This was also based on field reports and records from January,1982 to present date. The review led to a conclusion that the Site Q. A./Q.C. seemed to be isolated from the corporate organization in the sense that the corporate Q.A. support received, must be requested, even though the monthly re-port may have described problems,which could be indicative of items that needed cor- j i
porate Q. A. support. Corporate Q. A. involvement and support for field operations and
{
the above evaluations were revieweb n.;i discussed with the Director of Q.A. for Field operations, who acknowledged the comments and indicated that increased field support would be accomplished. .

2 The last part of thisinspection was planned for a review of audit reports relative to the required independent management audit o' the field opera ions, which is a require-ment of the corporate Q. A. Manual. It was noted that this type of audit had not been performed on 3 out of I. plants. This item is considered an item of noncompliance by the N.R.C. Vendor Branch who willinclude this in their report.
