NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION N

l cEileN IV 6.. AYAN PLAZA D*.IVE. SUITE 1000 ARLINGTON, TEXAS 70011 ogg November 25, 1985 In Reply Refer To:

Docket: 50-445/446 MEMORANDUM FOR:

T. Westerman, Chief i

tomanche Peak Group FROM:

H. S. Phillips, Senior Resident Inspector (SRI)

Comanche Peak

SUBJECT:

ALLEGATION On November 24,1!L85, Mr. Thomas Young, an NRC consultant informed me of an allegation or concern made during conversations with site personnel.

It is alleged that Texas. Utilities Generating Company (TUGC01 management has become increasingly uncomforta51e with adverse trends reported by a site censultant group.

It seems that these trends are j

viewed as embarrassing and possibly a threat to Itcensing the plant in i

the immediate future. Nembers of the consultant group have b' ten l

infomed that the consultant's contract will not be teneweds 'and, some i

l connect this action with TUGCO's frustration with being unable to i

control the actions of the trending group.

Two of the consultant personnel working in..the Inspection Process.

Control group. stated that the corrective action taken By TUGC0 Qaality Engineering is a joke and this is specifically true of electrical area l

trends.

l I recommend that this matter be investigated immediately because the i

consultant group will probably leave site within 30 days. At this point in time all of this group is available for interviews on site but after they leave site it will require a far greater NRC effort.

This item is also important because it implicates current TUGC0 management. Also, activity in the electrical areatin Unit 2 is extremely high and if adverse trends continue',

improper QC inspections l

and improper work may be proceeding.
