I AM JACK BRYANT, SDi10R RESIDDIT DiSPECTOR AT THE OCONEE SITE. PRIOR TO MY CURRDIT ASSIGNMDiT I WAS A SECTION CHIEF IN THE REION II 0FFICE FROM NCVEMBER 1972 TO JANUARY 1983 FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS OF THAT -
FEBIOD I SUPEBVISED RBqIOR II CONSTRUCTION SPECIALIST INSPECTORS. THE REMAINING EIGHT YEARS I WAS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SECTION CHIEF: THUS, .,
INSPECTION OF CONSTNUCTION AT CATAWBA FOR NRC HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO ME IN ONE OF THOSE CAPACITIE.SINCE PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF THE CONSTRUCTION PERMIT.
REION II PERSONNEL HAVE PERFORMED 166 INSPECTIONS OF CATAWBA, AND A CONSTRUCTION DISPECTOR HAS BEDI IN RESIDDiCE SINCE FEBRUARY OF 1980.
, EIGHTY-EIGHT VIOLATIONS WERE IDDITIFIED DURDiG THOSE INSPECTIONS, 37 OF THEM WERE OF THE LOWEST SEVERITY LEVEL. THE INSPECTIONS WERE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE AND OF THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF CONSTRUCTION WORK.
l TWO SPECIAL TEAM DiSPECTIONS WERE CONDUCTED AT CATAWBA, ONE IN NOVEMBER 1979 AND ONE IN JANUARY 1981. DURING THE 1979 INSPECTION, PRIVATE DiTERVIEWS WERE HELD WITH 57 INDIVIDUALS, PRIMARILY CRAFTSMDi, QC DISPECTORS, AND CRAFT FOREMDi. THEY WERE ASKED AT THE D1TERVIEWS IF THEY }BD ANY OUTSTANDING CONCERNS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION: IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ANY INSTANCB WHERE CONSTRUCTION DID NOT MEET PRESCRIBED
~
SPECIFICATIONS, CODES, STANDARDS OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS AND WHERE CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS NOT TAKDI: AND IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ANY DAY TO DAY PROBLD'S OR IRRECULARITIES AFFECTING QUALITY OF WHICH THEY BELIEVED NRC SHOULD BE INFORMED.
9 2
SEVGAL OF THOSE INTERVIE'4ED MENTIONED OCCASIONS WHERE EXTRA WORK WAS REQUIRED TO REPAIR POOR WORK CAUSED BY HASTE OR IMPROPER PLANNING. NONE PROFESSED KNOWLEDGE OF ANY POOR WORK WHICH HAD NOT BEEN FOUND BY QC AND
. SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED.
ee l A TRIAL CONSTRUCTION TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED AT CATAWBA ON JANUARY 26-FEBRUARY 6,~1981. ONE GOAL OF THAT INSPECTION WAS TO DETERMINE MANAGEMENT INVOLVEMENT IN SITE PROBLEMS. ALSO, AN INTERAL PART OF THAT INSPECTION WAS TO DETERMINE BY OBSERVATION AND CONVERSATION THE QUALIFICATIONS OF CRAFTSMEN AND QC PERSONNEL AND TO QUETION THESE FEOPLE CC::CE:IMING THE AVAIIABILITY OF ASSISTANCE WHEN NEEDED, RELATIONSHIP BETWE5 WORK CROUFS, o ANY INDICATION OF ; HARASSMENT OF INSPECTORS OR WORKERS, AND WORKER RECOURSE IF THEY WERE HARASSED OR SAW POOR WORKMANSHIP.
l THE INSPECTORS CONCLUDED FROM INTERVIEWS, OBSERVATION, AND REVIEW OF SITE AND COMPANY POLICIES, THAT MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION WERE AVAILABLE TO I EMPLOYEES AT A VERY LOW THRESHOLD. NO ONE QUESTIONED ACKNOWLEDGED HAPtRASSMENT OF ANYONE. THE INSPECTORS DECIDED IT UNLIKELY THAT . HARASSMENT DETRIMENTAL TO QUALITY WORK COULD DEVELOP UNDER THE CONDITIONS OBSERVED.
THE TEAM INSPECTION RESULTED IN SEVERAL VIOLATIONS. ONE OF THESE CONCERNED INADEQUATE DESCRIPTIONS OF CONSTRUCTION DEFICIENCIES (CDR'S) FOUND BY THE LICENSEE AND OF THE CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN. THOSE CDR'S INSPECTED IN DETAIL REVEALED IN EVERY CASE THAT APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION HAD BEEN TAKEN ON THE HARDWARE PROBLEM, BUT THAT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED FROM THE RECORD.
f ,
Y
_3 AS A RESULT OF THAT FINDING, TE LICENSEE RL'IEk"ED THE'11,000 CDR'S WRITTDi UP TO THAT TIME TO VERIFY THAT EACH HAD BEEN PROPEP.LY HANDLED. QA AND QC PROCEDURES WERE' REWRITTDi TO BEITER CONTROL THE HANDLING OF CDR'S.
, CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE TAKE AND WERE CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY THE SMIOR INSPECTOR UNTIL HE WAS ASSURED THAT CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE EFFECTIVE.
'THE TEAM INSPECTION REVEALED OTHER APPARENT WEAKNESSES IN COMMUNICATION .
~
WITHIN!.THE' LICENSEE ORGANIZATION. IN THE LAITER PART OF 1981 AND IN 1982 DUKE CORPORATE MANAGEMD{T APPEARED TO HAVE CONSIDERABLY MORE INVOLVEMENT IN SITE ACTIVITIES. THIS PROBABLY HAD CONCIDERABLE I!!?LUD:CE ON THE REDUCTION OF VIDIATIONS PER INSPECTION FROM AN AVE?. AGE OF ONE PER L. INSPECTION IN 1980 AND 1981 TO ABOUT ONE PER THREE INSPECTIONS IN 1982.
b I~
ALLEGATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE CONCERNING CATAWBA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IN.
1978 ALLEGATIONS WERE MADE CONCERNING PIPING DESIGN. THESE ALLIGATIONS WERE INVESTIGATED AND GAFETY IMPLICATIONS WERE NCI SUBSTANTIATED.
IN OCTOBER 1979 A FORMER EMPLOYEE MADE ALLEGATIONS TO THE LOCAL MEDIA CONCERNING IMPROPER CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES AT CATAWBA. THIS ALLEGER HAS REFUSED TO DISCUSS HIS ALLEGATIONS WITH NRC. REGION II HAS CONDUCTED INSPECTIONS IN THE AREAS OF HIS ALLEGATIONS AND HAS NO OUTSTANDING PROBLEMS.
IN 1980 A SITE EMPLOYEE MADE ALLEGATIONS TO THE SENIOR REEIDENT INSPECTOR CONCERNING IMPROPER CONSTRUCTION. HIS ALLEGATIONS WERE INVESTIGATED AND 3 NO SAFEIY. CONCERNS WERE IDDITIFIED. THE EMPLOYEE SUBSEQUDITLY MADE HIS ALLEGATIONS TO THE MEDIA.
i -: '
IN 1951 ALLCATIONS WERE RECEIVED CONCEhNING SEISMIC RESTRAINT DESIGN.
THESE ALLEATIONS ARE BEING PURSUED BY REION II.
IN JANUARY OF 1982, DUKE POWER COMPANY INFORMED REION II THAT IT HAD l
RECEIVED A NUMBER OF ALLEATIONT FROM QC PERSONNEL. DUKE WAS ORGANIZING A TEAM OF OFF SITE PERSONNEL, INCLUDING A CONSULTANT, TO INVESTIGATE THE
' ALLEGATIONS, AND SKED REION II TO PERMIT DUKE TO MAKE ITS OWN INVETI-CATION PRIOR TO NRC INVOLVEMENT. IN MAY 1982 DUKE MADE A PRESENTATION AT REION II 0F ITS PROGRESS. REGION II AGREED TO DUKE'S PROPOSAL WITH AGREEMENT FR6M DUKE THAT THE SENIOR RESIDENT INSFE" TOR FOULD EE KEPT FULLY INFORMED AND WOULD HAVE ACCES TO THE TEAM'S FINDINGS AT ANY TIME.
p MEANWHILE, SOME OF THE ALLEGERS AISO PRESENTED THEIR ALLEGATIONS TO THE SENIOR RESIDENT INSPECTOR. THE SRI VERIFIED THAT DUKE HAD AISO RECEIVEDg; THEE COMPIAINTS, WHICH INCLUDED MOST OF THE TOTAL OF 129 ALLEGATIONS OF POOR WORKMANSHIP, HARASSMENT, SUPPRESSION, AND FAISIFICATION OF RECORDS y RECEIVED BY DUKE. THE SRI KEPT ABREAST OF DUKE FINDINGS, DISCUSSED WITH THE ALLEGERS THEIR MCEPTION OF THE DUKE INVESTIGATION, AND EXAMINED MUCH OF TE HARDWARE ALLEGED TO BE IMPROPERLY CONSTRUCTED.
THE SRI HAS CONCLUDED THAT THE LICENSEE TASK FORCE REVIEW WAS COMPLETED, APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE TAKEN, APPROPRIATE RECORDS WERE KEPT, AND DUKE ATTEMPIED TO REACH AN UNDERSTANDING WITH EACH ALLEGER. A NUP2ER OF PROCEDURE VIOLATIONS WERE IDENTIFIED BY DUKE BUT NO SERIOUS HARDWARE DEFICIENCIES WERE FOUND AND NO FALSIFICATION WAS IDENTIFIED.
IN 1982 THE LICENSEE CONDUCTED AN AUDIT OF CATAWEA AND McGUIRE DESIGN,
. PARTICULARLY C7 DESIGN INTERFACES. THOUGH WEAKNESSES WERE FOUND WHICH' Y*
a
-5 2
CAUSED DUKE TO MAKE SEVERAL CHANGH3 IN PROCEDURES, THEY FOUND NOTHING WHICH NECESSITATED A HARDWARE CHANGE. ALSO IN 1982, DUKE PEPIORMED A ,
SEIF INITIATE AUDIT, B CONJUNCTION WITH TVA, OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. ,
" ~
FINDINGS ARE CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED BY REGION II.
-IT IS THE REGION II OPINION THAT DUKE POWER COMPANY HAS A WELL DEFINED AND IMPLEME TED QA PROGRAM. ITS CORPORATE MANAGEMENT HAS A GREAT DEAL OF PARTICIPATION IN SITE ACTIVITIES AND FROBLD'.S. DUKE IS A LARGE ORGANIZATION WITH CONSIDERABLE DEPTH AND IS ITS OWN ARCHITECT /
ENGINEER AND CONSTRUCTOR. AS STATED IN THE 1982 SALP REFORT, DUKE'S MAJOR STRENGTH APPEARS TO BE A CONSIDERABLE DEDICATION, AT ALL LEVEIS, TOWARD PRODUCING QUALITY WORK. WE BELIEVE THAT CATAWBA IS A WELL CON-STRUCTED SITE. ,

~ The Governcent Accountability Project (GAP) of the Institute for -
Policy studies has recently received a request from a citizens group in South Carolina to ansist them with an' investigation that they are conducting into the quality assurance and quality control procedures that have boon employed in the construction of the Catawba Nuclear Power Station being built by the Duke Power Co z p oz e t. l on .
The material tnat we have reviewed in connection with the request has raised narious quoutions about thc Nuclear Regulatory Com-mission's (N HC) o v e r s ig ht, of problems that have been brought to the attention of both t.be resident and reg $onal inspectors and investigators.
Of particular concern t. o us are the allegations that were brought to the attention of the NMC t egional o f fice in January 1982 by a number of QC welding inspection personnel, and more specifically the dir ect. uz derr s by Duke construction m4:349 einent to falsify in-upceti on documen ts. Thnne circumstances raise critical questions ,
about the condi tions at the Catawba facilit.y under .which con-scient.ious nuclede employees -- from welders to'enginners - are allowed to do' their j ob. (see att achinent 1.)
The con.: rents o riginally prevented by Mr. P. K. Van noorn, the Senior Residt nt Innpuctor, have appazently been fully investigated and dismissed through a utilit.y t ask force (attachnent 2): however, we have requested through the Freedom of Information Act a l l N RC docusaentation that should clarify the results of any inspections j nr investigat i ons t.h a t were conducted by.,the HRC as a rnsult of
~
the originnt allegations. -

We resguest that the Office of Inventigationa conduct a comp 3ete
- seview of (1) the original allegations and (2) any investigations j of those allegatsons. We think that such a review by OI is par-i ticularly appropriate due to Mr. VanDoorn's and Mr. W. J. Tobin's initial zeports include Aerious evidence of harassment, intimidation and deliberate undermining of the welding QC program.
As you.ve aware, the concezos of worker harassment and intimidation and similar allegations of violations of the At orni c En e rgy Reorgtni-ration Act alleged by the unnamed sources referred to in the attached documents ni tror the findings that GAP discovered at the Zimmer Nucinar Power Station in Ohio, the Midland Nuclear Power Pldnt in Mi chi g an , and, most recently, t. he Three Mile Island cicanup opera-tions in Pennuylvania.
We look forward to your respimse to this request in the near future. - .
