SUBJECT:
Seabrook " readiness" review
,c, .
Dear Commissioners:
b On-behalf of Intervenors New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution,-Seacoast Anti-Pollution League, and the Massachusetts Attorney General,.I am writing to alert you to a number of g serious potential. defects in the design and construction of the l Seabrook nuclear power plant, which'we believe must be addressed and resolved before the Commission can conclude that the Seabrook reactor is ready to operate.
These concerns are based on the report recently filed with you'by the Employees Legal Project, concerning Quality Technology
- Company's-("QTC's") " Investigation of Seabrook - Station" (hereinafter."QTC Report"). The' report, which is based on QTC's ,
review of Seabrook's construction history,-NRC oversight
- activity, and allegations of concerned'Seabrook employees, raises L a-number of pctential safety problems at the plant which, if con-- '
firmed,. would implicate the safety of the reactor. Intervenors believe that the following major findings _of the report warrant *
'the Commission's immediate attention:
- 1) According to QTC, reactor coolant. pump support legs are held in place by 113-inch bolts that are embedded in the concrete ,
floor of the reactor. These bolts, which have a required strength of.'approximately 115 KPSI, cannot be moved easily.
Sometime after its original installation, an RCP support leg was moved horizontally, either two inches or five inches. There is no indication in publicly available records that the RCP sup-port leg has been re-secured to the appropriate specifications, nor is'there any apparent means of doing so. QTC Report at 8-9.

.. ~ .
I HARMON, CURRAN & TOUSLEY NRC Commissioners-January 18,'1990 Page 2-If. corroborated, this apparent failure to re-install the RCP support leg in compliance with safety standards raises questions not only about the reliability of the RCPs,.but about the overall adequacy of the Applicants' quality assurance program and the NRC Staff's ability.to detect serious QA problems through its over-sight and inspection program.
- 2) According to a concerned individual, cadwelders were fired for cheating on required test welds. Although the incident violated several quality assurance requirements and the NRC was aware of this fraudulent activity, it did not issue a violation to the utility. This cheating was discovered by accidents, not through quality inspections. Even so, the NRC did not address, nor did it require the utility to address, the deficiencies which allowed the cheating to occur without detection. The NRC did not require Applicants to identify the root cause of the problem and correct it. QTC Report at 24-35.
- 3) A quality control inspector was imprisoned for falsify-ing apprximately 2,400 weld inspections. A concerned individual reported that many other weld inspectors falsified their reports because of management deadlines. A second individual documented falsification on a specific weld inspection, and the NRC reported another such instance. Despite this evidence of widespread weld
-falsification, the NRC maintains that these are unconnected inci-dents which do not indicate a pattern needing further investiga-tion. Many of the 2,400 welds were never re-inspected. QTC Report, Appendix B.
- 4) QTC reports a concern $ rom a Seabrook employee who stated that in 1985, he and many others were required to replace "understrength Uni-strut bolts." He stated that the bolts were replaced in a' haphazard fashion, and that bolts in difficult-to-reach places were not replaced. No records were kept of the location of replaced bolts. The only record kept was of the num-
.ber of new bolts that crews received at the beginning of a shift and the number of old bolts they returned at the end of a shift.
QTC Report at 63.
If this whistleblower's account is confirmed, it raises serious questions about the structural integrity of the Seabrook reactor and the adequacy of the Applicants' quality assurance program to generally assure plant safety.
- 5) In general, QTC found that NRC's oversight of quality assurance at Seabrook was inadequate in that it too often failed to cite Applicants for regulatory violations and did not require Applicants to investigate root causes, develop corrective actions
. ..iim. m

' HARMON,' CURRAN & TOUSLEY NRC Commissioners January 18, 1990 Page 3 or describe the violations' generic applicability. The Staff showed a general inclination to treat quality assurance problems as isolated events rather than probe their significance for gen-eral plant safety.
In addition to the items discussed above, we refer to you a
- letter from Fred Anderson, Jr. , of Ideas & Information, Inc. , to William Russell, NRC Regional Administrator, dated January 9, 1990, which contains partial transcriptions of conversations between control room operators and maintenance personnel at Seabrook. A copy of the letter is attached. While Mr. Anderson' has been unable to transcribe all of the conversations that he taped, the excerpts provided in his letter suggest a pattern'of incompetence by maintenance personnel,. equipment malfunctions, and poor attitudes shown by control room personnel.
This pattern is particularly disturbing in light of Applicants' poor' performance during the low power test. Given
'the utility's troubled history and the problems raised by even a limited airing of Mr. Anderson's tapes, it is imperative that the Commission review Mr. Anderson's tapes and assess their safety significance before approving the Seabrook reactor's readiness to operata..
In conclusion, the Intervenors believe that in addition to the specific design and construction problems raised by QTC, the overall adequacy of the Seabrook quality assurance program has been placed in serious doubt. Before approving operation of the reactor, the Commission should investigate this apparent break-down in quality assurance and obtain assurances thatLthe plant is indeed safe to operate. ,
Sincerely, k

Dear Mr. Russell:
p4 l
Since January 1.1989 I have been monitoring and taping broadcasts by the control room operators at Seabrook Station. I understand that the f 12th) in p NRC staff will be meeting with NH Yankee personnel this Friday (full l- Seabrook to review open items prior to a recommendation to the '
commission regarding full power licensing for Seabrook Station. ,
I have recently only had time and resources to review a few of the ,
L tapes I have made, but I believe these few samples demonstrate that '
J 'significant safety concerns still need to be resolved before a full power license is granted. You will remember that the plant was shut down during ,
its low power test. If these problem areas are not corrected. I believe that the plant will have many un-planned shutdowns, which could affect public safety.
The areas for concern invoNe both plant personnel and hardware. The l l
E Jnext page outlines' specific concerns about Maintenance personnel
- competence and Control Room Operator attitude: as well as problems with a . l l I variety of valves, leaks, and the control room to maintenance personnel communications system (the one I have monitored). The pages that follow provide my own transenpt, made today, of these examples.
j I would be willing to provide you with copies of any of these tapes so l L
. that you 'might make your own transcripts. As I noted. I have listened to just l 1 'a few sections of tape in order raise the many areas of concern noted below.
~
1 believe the other tapes might disclose other problem areas. . ,
j

L I look forward to hearing from you regarding this information. l l
