l' October 3,1984-Richard Johnson, Esquire Assistant US Attorney US Attorney's Office 55 Pleasant St.
Concord, N.H. 03301 Mr.~ Johnson:
Enclosed are the items you requested'during our meeting on September 27,1984 at your office.
Nonconformance Report (4490) was requested and received from the licensee Quality Assurance Staff and is sent to you with their knowledge. The first half of NCR 4490 contains copies of letters discussing the disposition to some of the welds which were not reinspected. The back of NCR 4490 contains the tabulation of the welds. While there appear to be some minor discrepancies in numbers that I must work out, the following ficures should be accurate enough for your purpose, i
-- Safety-Related welds reinspected & rejected = 05 (IMT, 23PT, IUT)
-- Welds important to safety reinspected & rejected = 42 (11MT, 31PT) 1 (The remainder of the 95 welds are clearly nonnuclear-safety).
SNT-TC-1A is also enclosed. Your interest should probably be satisfied in Sections 6,8,9 810. In this regard, you'll note that I was somewhat in error with respect to the type of college credit that can be taken. See Table 6.2.1A of SNT-TC-1A which states the credit for " years of engineering or science study". Individual company programs may cive credit for other callege study, but only to the extent that this credit is above the minimum stated requirements of SNT-TC-1A.
l Other information you requested included the State of New Hampshire contact for administering the " agreement state" responsibilities for the radiography license.

Subject:
POTENTIAL NONCONFORMANCES IN WELD NONDESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATIONS ,
On April 29, 1983, the licensee identified a potential nonconformance in the conduct of the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) performed by one contractor technician on approximately 2400 safety-related and nonsafety-related welds. The nonconformance involves procedural violations during magnetic particle and liquid penetrant examinations by a technician employed by a contractor organization which performs the majority of the NDE onsite. Based on a preliminary review, the licensee believes the majority of the affected welds are nonsafety-related. The licensee is continuing an investigation to identify all affected welds and to determine if the suspect NDE records were falsified. Currently, the licensee also plans a 100% reexamination of all accessible safety-related welds that were originally examined by the specific technician while acting alone. The licensee has terminated the employment of the individual and barred him from future employment at Seabrook Station. The ,
l NRC Senior Resident Inspector continues to monitor the licensee's actions.
Th2re has been media attention to this item as a result of information provided to the media I by the licensee. The NRC does not plan a press release but will respond to inquiries. _
The State of New Hampshire has been informed.
NRC Region I (Philadelphia) received initial notification of this rnatter from the NRC l Resident Inspector via telephone on April 27, 1983. The licensee informed the Resident l Inspector on April 27, 1983 and filed a report pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(e) on May 4, 1983.

supplements. A question developed on the status of two particular welds which had been originally categorized as unaccessible and accepted by engineering evaluation. A subsequent disposition to ,
these welds indicated that they had indeed been reinspected and accepted on that basis. Thus, the status of all 2,399 items, only I about a third of which are safety-related, appears to have been ]'
accurately documented and transmitted to the NRC.
NRC inspection has monitored the progress of licensee reinspection, repair, and engineering evaluation over the course of the licensee's implementation of its corrective measure program. Such NRC follow-up is documented in the following inspection / meeting reports: i
~
-- Combined Inspection Report Nos. 443/83-06 & 444/83-06, paragraph 4 l
-- Combined Meeting Report Nos. 443/63-10 & 444/83-07, paragraph 4
-- Combined Inspection Report Nos. 443/83-18 & 444/83-14, paragraph 4 and Attachment 3
-- Inspection Report No. 443/85-19, paragraphs 2.2 & 5 and Attachment 2 NRC independent reinspection of a sample of both those welds reexamined by the licensee and accepted without repair and those welds repaired by the licensee revealed no deficiencies or l inadequacies in the licensee reinspection program. Generic licensee corrective actions have included 3) the evaluation of weld NDE performed 1 I
by Pullman technicians other than the one involved in the suspect welds and 2) generation of new procedures for licensee / contractor verification of an employee's background and technical qualifications,.
YAEC third party verification activities have been established for -
contractor / supplier NDE operations and records.
Overall, NRC inspection of the licensee corrective actions, both <
specific to the suspect welds and generic to the adequacy of the NDE !
controls, has determined that the licensee program to address the concerns raised-by this CDR, to correct all hardware deficiencies, and to prevent a future recurrence of this problem has been responsive and complete.
