Dear Mr. Chairman:

j f The General Physics Corporation (GP) lecture slides, described f in your letter dated August 30, 1985, first came to the  ;

attention of NRC Headquarters on August 22, 1985 via an NRC l Region III inspector. The Region III inspector obtained the material from a co-worker who attended the GP course in November i

[

1983 when employed by General Public Utilities Nuclear (GPUN) at'~ ~

j their Oyster Creek facility.  !

l The NRC staff responded promptly and aggressively to this matter (

as evidenced by the following actions: j i 1. Prompt telephone conversations between Mr. Taylor, the i Director of the Office of Inspection and Enforcement, with  !

4 Mr. Whitney, General Physics Corporation, on August 23 and  !

24, 1985 resulted in a written reply by GP to Mr. Taylor  ;

dated August 26, 1985. j I 2. An information memorandum (Enclosure 1) was provided to the  !

Commissioners from the Executive Director for Operations  !

dated September 4, 1985. The information memorandum -

enclosed material referred to in Item 1 above.

3. Letters have been sent by NRC to licensees whose  ;

representatives attended GP courses with potentially  !

objectionable lecture slides, requesting followup actions.  !

4. A vendor inspection which was initiated on September 10,  !

! 1985 at GP's Columbia, Maryland facility to review details  !

of the matter has verified that the lecture slides and  !

course are no longer being used. Usage was limited to the ,

, two instances discussed in the GP reply to Mr. Taylor. No j other objectionable material was found to have been promulgated in other courses reviewed by the vendor  !

The Honorable Edward Markey ,

O General Public Utilities Nuclear voluntarily advised the NRC, by letter dated September 3, 1985, of their actions regarding the GP training material used at Oyster Creek in November 1983 (Enclosure 2). The staff has evaluated the additional information.

You can be assured that the NRC is concerned about this matter, and particularly with respect to the possible existence of industry practices that could be misleading to the NRC program of inspection, since the basis of inspection relies heavily on licensee candor including both direct employees and contractors.

When our review of this matter is completed, we will respond to -

the_last paragraph of your August 30, 1985 letter.

Sincerely, f, 7

Scptember 4, 1985 E'lCLOS'EE 1 MEMORANDUM FOR: The Commissioners FROM: William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations SU5 JECT: GENERAL PHYSICS CORPORATION INSTRUCTIONAL COURSE FOR LICENSEES CONTAINING MATERIAL OBJECTIONABLE TO THE NRC On August 22, 1935, NRC:HQ management learned of potertully objectionable material being taught by General Physics Corporation (r.9), a contractor to General Public Utilities Corporation (GPU), in a contrinment leak rate course given in November 1983. A RIII inspector obtained the material frcm a co-worker who had attended the GP course when employed by GPU at their Oyster Creek .

facility.

8 NRC management reviewed the material and after discussions with OI and ELD contacted General Physics (Enclosure 1).

The objectionable portion of the material covered interactions with the NRC. The material appears to suggest or condone practices that could be misleading to the NRC precram of inspection which relies to a large extent on licensee candor. As a result of Mr. Taylor's telephone conversations on August 23 and 24',1985 with' representatives of GP, the company responded with a letter dated August 26, 1985 (Enclosure 2) identifying 17 GPU/0yster Creek full time participants in the offering at Oyster Creek and 8 participants from 4 utilities (names deleted by NRC) in a subsequent course held March 1 and 2, 1984 Scme of the objectionable material was deleted from the subsequent course effering.

The NRC staff is continuing followup with GP regarding the extent.of dissemi-natien of this or similar materials. Also, the staff will follcwup with the icentified utilities which had individuals taking these courses.

For infermation, GP conducts training, provices technical reference material and engir.eering services under contract to utilities. A listing of GP ccurses anc uc-kshcps and reference material extracted frcm a GP newsletter (Encicsure

3) is ;rovided fcr information. General Physics presently has 5 ccntracts with ,

the AC (Enciosure 4).

August 26, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR: File FROM: James M. Taylor, Director Office of Inspection and Enforcement ,/

SUBJECT:

GENERAL PHYSICS CORPORATION With reference to the attached letter to General Physics Corporation, I was called at my home on Saturday, August 24, 1985 by Mr. Whitney, Vice President. Mr. Whitney told me the -following:

Thecourse,"ContainmentSystemsLeakageTesting7asdescribed

1. , ~ ~ ' -

in the outline of Lecture #3 had been taught only once.

That had been for the Oyster Creek Station of GPU on November 29 and 30, 1983.

2. Based on a student's coments which were critical of a portion on interaction with the NRC, the course had been revised.

The revised course was taught only one more time in Columbia, Md.

Personnel from SG&E, HL&P, CP&L, Duquesne, Vepco, Texas Utiliti'es, and Consumers had attended.

3. He (Mr. Whitney) will send me a copy of the revised course with further details.

Washington, DC 20555 ,

Dear Mr. Taylor:

Confirming our telephone conversations on August 23 and 24, 1985, General Physics conducted its Containment Systems Leakage Testing Course twice: (1) on Nove=ber 29 and 30, 1983, fo'r GPU Nuclear Corporation and (2) on March 1 and 2, 1984, for several utilities. Copies of the course attendance lists are enclosed.

Following the initial conduct of the course in November 1983, General Physics revised Lecture #3 concerning Interactions with the NRC. Copies of the original and revised viewgraphs for this lecture are enclosed. As you can see from the revised viewgraphs, all of the viewgraphs that were questioned were revised.

~

General Physics has not conducted this course since March 198'4 and cur-rently we do not offer the course. Rather, we are of fering a course on Integrated Leak Rate Testing which focuses on hardware and procedure matters and dres not address directly interactions with the NRC.

In reviewing this matter, I want to point out again that the viewgraphs that were questioned are only a small part of the course. When takan in con-text, the course specifically stresses the importance of working dith the NRC '

in fulfilling the public health and safety responsibilities associated with containment systems leakage testing.

You can be asriured of our full cooperation in resolving this matter to your satisfaction.

Sincerely, GENEPAL PHYSICS CORPORATION
