SYNOPSIS This investigation was initiated after the completion of case A4-85-005, wherein the Kansas Gas & Electric (KG&E) Quality First (Q1) investigative program at Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station was reviewed for completeness and adequacy. This investigation, which was initially investigated and closed by Q1, was subsequently opened by the Office of Investigations (01) after an examination of the Q1 case files revealed the appearance of undeveloped leads and questionable findings. The purpose of the OI investigation was to detemine the adequacy of the Q1 investigation.
A review of the Q1 investigative file revealed an alleger reported to Q1 that a Technical Metals Incorporated (TMI) project engineer had failed to conduct required inspections and subsequently falsified inspection documentation. The questioned TMI inspections reportedly dealt with the inspection of exterior surface cleanliness of non-Q pipe within the containment area at the Wolf Creek Generating Station. The Q1 investigation verified the existence of a TMI procedure to inspect the external cleanliness of non-Q pipe and reported that the visitor log, which documents his access to the Wolf Creek containment area, only contained his name a few times. The Q1 investigation neglected to examine the inspection records allegedly falsified by the project engineer and also neglected to interview the project engineer in question. The 01 investi-gator reported the alleger's concerns as substantiated and closed the Q1 investigation noting that the allegedly falsified records were not directly related to a safety system. !
The 01 investigation resulted in the discovery of seven exterior pipe clean-liness inspection memos signed by the project engineer in question. Subsequent correlation between these inspection documents and the Wolf Creek visitors log revealed that the project engineer had, in fact, falsified six of these non-Q inspection memos. The project engineer, during an O! interview, admitted that he did not always inspect the external cleanliness of the non-Q pipe and further admitted that he willfully falsified the corresponding inspection documentation to conceal his lack of inspection. It is 01's conclusion that the Q1 investigation was not conducted in a manner that would meet acceptable investigative standards of the NRC regarding completeness and adequacy.
The NRC Region IV Resident Inspector's evaluation of the falsified inspection documents and the related piping revealed these areas in question were all ;
contained within the reactor building and dealt with "non-nuclear safety" piping.

I DETAILS OF INVESTIGATION 1 Purpose Of Investigation ;
This investigation was initiated by the Office of Investigations (OI) after the completion of case A4-85-005 wherein the Kansas Gas & Electric (KG&E)
Quality First (Q1) investigative program at Wolf Creek Generating Station was reviewed for completeness and adequacy. This case, initially investigated by the Q1 office, was selected for further review by 01 with the concurrence of the Region IV Regional Administrator due to the appearance of undeveloped leads and questionable findings to determine the adequacy of the investigation concerning the falsification of non-Q inspection records by a project engineer.
It is to be noted that 01's efforts were directed toward determining the adequacy of the Q1 investigation rather than conducting an independent investi-gation of the alleged discrimination.
Background l During May 1985, 01 reviewed all Q1 files invelving suspected wrongdoing as q reported in case A4-85-005. This review resultad in the discovery of a closed Q1 investigation in which an alleger, ., alleged that a Technical Metals Incorporated (TMI) , identified as ., had neglected to perform required exterior cleanlinets inspections of non-Q pipe within the containment (controlled access) area, also alleged that had subsequently falsified TMI inspecticn documentation to conceal lack of inspection. The Q1 investigative plan contained three steps: (1) check appropriate TMI procedure regulations, (2) review site security visitor log documentation, and (3) discuss with various TMI and KG&E personnel in the ;
construction and quality control offices. This Q1 investigation revealed that I a TMI project engineer was in fact required to visually inspect the external j surfaces of non-Q pipe for cleanliness, in accordance with TMI procedures l initially identified by Q1 as PWI 602 and PWI 603, included as Exhibits 1 and 2. l l
Review Of 01 Files On July 2, 1985, Q1 file QCI85-202T was reviewed by reporting investigator at Wolf Creek. In addition to the aforementioned allegations, the alleger, '
. identified further identified [ Wolf Creek employees who coula verify and support]and I three his I allegations. These individuals are listed as . ., and The file also contained references of procedural requirements regarding TMI l procedures PW.I-602 (Exhibit 1) which states under Section 3.10: " project ,
engineer reviews surfaces to verify that cleanliness requirements are in I accordance with specifications in paragraph 1.3" and Section 3.11: "if clean- i liness is acceptable, project engineer releases system for insulation by ;
forwarding a memo stating cleanliness acceptability in system boundaries." !
The requirement under procedure PWI-603 (Exhibit 2) was itemized as follows under Section 3.11: "the foreman coordinates with project engineer for visual I inspection of clean surfaces and acceptance or recleaning instructions." The Q1 file also contains a letter from the -
l Case No. 4-85-011 9
, to Q1 which. states that , for THI worked from to as .

Recontact With TMI Management / Collection Of Evidence On August 20, 1985, and were recontacted by reporting investigator and advised of the information provided by :. The subsequent search of TMI records by , , and reporting investigator resulted in the recovery of seven documents signed by ' depicting the visual inspection of non-Q pipe for external cleanliness. These seven documents were collected for evidence under the appropriate chain of custody.
and were unable to provide any further pertinent information or documentation. Photostatic copies of the seven recovered TMI inspection memos are included as Exhibit 6.
INVESTIGATOR's NOTE: The aforementioned evidence is being maintained 'in the 01:RIV Field Office evidence safe.
Review Of Site Security Records On August 20, 1985, security visitors logs depicting access to the Wolf Creek containment areas were reviewed by reporting investigator. Utilizing the inspection documents (supra) signed by , a review of the visitors logs revealed only one corresponding date; January 3, 1985. The log showed a 35 minute entry by to the Wolf Creek containment area. Utilizing the ,
other dates depicted within Exhibit 6, the visitors logs were reviewed and j were absent of any site entries made by .
I Interview With ,
On August 29, 1985, ., _ ,
at Wolf Creek was interviewed by reporting investigator ini .I stated that between until left Wolf treek durinf ,
one of duties as was to visually verify the exterior Case No. 4-85-011 11
cleanliness of non-Q pipe prior to insulation by Owens Corning Company, admitted that did not always follow TMI regulations regarding the visue.1 inspection of the various non-Q pipe exterior surfaces. .
further admitted _ subsequently falsified TMI documentation to conceal lack of visual inspection of the non-Q pipe areas, was unable to remember exactly how many times had falsified the inspection documentation and stated was unaware of any other acts of falsification within TMI at
~ Wolf Creek. ., when shown the documents in question, identified -
signature on seven inspection reports that falsified. statement is included as Exhibit 7.
NRC Evaluation Of Falsified Inspection Areas On August 20, 1985 James CUMMINS, NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Wolf i Creek, was contacted by the reporting investigator and advised of the alleged i falsification of inspection documents. CUMMINS reviewed the inspection g documentation and corresponding piping drawings in an attempt to determine the safety significance of the suspected falsification. CUMMINS advised that the areas affected by the alleged falsification were all located within the reactor building and all affected areas dealt with "non-nuclear safety" areas.
The piping areas affected by the falsification were itemized by CUMMINS and are included as Exhibit 8. In addition, coordination with the Region IV Acting Director, Division of Reactor Safety and Projects, disclosed that the '
records in question are not relied upon by the NRC (Exhibit 9).
Willfulness / Intent Section Two witness statements (Exhibits 3 and 5) and documentary evidence-(Exhibit 6) collected during this investigation clearly identified the falsification of inspection documentations dealing with the visual inspection of non-Q pipe external cleanliness. The in question, , admitted willfully and intentionally falsified TMI inspection documentation to conceal lack of visual inspection (Exhibit 7).
Conclusions It is 01's conclusion that the Q1 investigation was not conducted in a manner that would meet acceptable investigative standards of the NRC regarding completeness and adequacy. However, Q1 did meet the Q1 mission objective of only investigating direct safety related issues. 01's investigation disclosed that deliberately falsified inspection reports.

Subjs Quality First Program
Dear Mr Denton:
v More than a year ago, Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG6E) established its Quality First Program for the Wolf Creek Generating Station. Our intent in establishing the Program was to provide a mechanism for people working at the Wolf Creek site (and at KG6E's home offices) to confidentially report to an independent organization
. s any concerns they might have with the Wolf Creek project. The Program was created not to meet any regulatory requirement or Final Safety Analysis Report commitment, but because of our belief that it would
. benefit the project. We have been pleased to be able to share our experience in establishing and operating the Program both with other utilities and with the Commission.
\l Since the inception of the ' Quality First Program, we have sought Suggestions that we have to fully cooperate with the Commission.
received as a result of NRC inspections have been incorporated where appropriate and have improved the Program.
KCEnE intends to continue the Quality First Program. As in the l past, all Quality First files will be retained and will be fully available for review by NRC investigators and inspectors. In addition, KG&E will keep the Conssission aware of concerns the Quality First Program receives on " wrong-doing" issues (such as intimidation /
harassment, drug or alcohol abuse) where the initial review indicates that the concern may have some merit.

- a. Assure that all WCGS employees t whether KG&E or. onsite contractors, are made aware of the established channels / systems which they have available to state a quality concern.
- b. Establish a Quality " Hot Line" Telephone System accessible to all WCGS employees through which they can state quality concerns in .
complete anonymity if desired.
s
- c. Ensure that quality concerns are evaluated and valid quality concerns are investigated, dispositioned, verified, and followed up in accordance with established procedural methods by an organization not directly responsible for the area of concern.
Discrepancies shall be evaluated for reportability to the NRC per 10CFR50.55(e), Part 21, etc.
- d. KG&E shall attempt to preserve the anonymity and/or prevent the harassment / discrimination of employees expressing quality Concerns.
NOTE: Discrimination by a Commission licensee, permittee, an applicant for Commission license or permit, .or a contractor or subcontractor of a Commission licensee, permittee, or applicant against an employee for engaging in certain " protected activities" is prohibited by 10CFR50, Section 50.7, " Employee Protection."

FROM: Richard K. Herr, Director i Office of Investigations Field Office, Region IV i
SUBJECT:
Case No. 4-85-011, Wolf Creek i On January 7, 1986, I held a discussion with Eric Johnson, Acting Director, Division of Reactor Safety and Projects, regarding the subject investigation. Also participating in the discussion was Bob Taylor, NRC inspector.
I asked the following questions and recorded Mr. Johnson's responses, as follows: ,
- 1. Q: Are non-Q QC inspection records relied upon by the NRC in any way?
A: No. However, the records may be required to be kept by the utility, contractor, insurance company and/or state program.
- 2. Q: If non-Q QC records are falsified, does NRC have a concern?
i A: Yes. Until that time when the determination that the falsification is not carried over to safety related or Q QC records. NRC would check out the individual responsible for the falsification to determine if they had ever worked on safety and/or Q QC records arid then would look for similar problems in that area.
- 3. Q: Wou'Id falsification of non-Q QC records affect any NRC decision? ;
A: Yes, the fact that an individual falsifies Q or non-Q records at a nuclear plant concerns the NRC. Howeve*, the specific records ,
admittedly falsified by this person were not records which the j NRC relied upon to make a regulatory decision. ;
- 4. Q: Does falsification of non-Q QC records constitute a violation of integrity?
. A: Yes. However, the degree of concern.would depend on the level of that person's position which he holds within the company and other activities the person is/was involved with. The NRC would i have to review the person's work activities to satisfy itself j that safety-related activities were not adversely affected.

REFERENCE:
(a) QFAR #5/85-86 dated May 20, 1985 l I Referenced QFAR reports the following conditions: 1 A. The Field Work Order (Installation) packages contain no record of traceability of insulating material to a warehouse release document reflecting source of j material (P. O., MRR, etc.). B. Not all material recorded as installed (as highlight ed , on reference design drawings) is accountable to the Field Material Requisition (FMR). j Discussion: 10CFR50 App. B Criterion II, Quality Assurance Program states in { part:
"The Quality Assurance Program shall provide control over activities affecting the quality of the identified structures, systems, and components to an extent consistent with their importance to safety."
The aspects of thermal insulation considered "important to safety" are: A. The insulation system must " fail in place", i.e., must renain in it's installed location during a Design Base Accident (DBA), and; B. All. insulating materials must meet the chemical limitations specified in USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.36 to reduce the probability of stress-corrosion cracking of stainless steel pipe. l In consideration of these specific safety requirements, KG&E Construction and KG&E Quality Assurance mutually agree that the TMI Material Control Program used for the procurement and installation of ' CAL-SIL' and fiberglass insulation was adequate for the following reasons: A. The insulation system's ability to " fail in place" is a consideratica of the metal Jacketing and it's support, not the actual CAL-SIL or fiberglass insula-ting material and is therefore not in question with regards to QFAR 5/85-86. B. Bechtel has indicated that all insulation material is considered an "off-the-shelf" item. Reference Bechtel SDDR M-162C-1-2 dated July 23, 1984. C. All CAL-SIL and fiberglass insulations procurred for safety-related and spe-cial-scope applications was certified by the manufacturer as complying with the requirements of Reg. Guide 1.36 Ref. Spec. 10466-M-162C(Q), para. 6.4. 4 15-0$(

l Il D. TM; Procedure QCP-801, Rev. 2 requires that material be identified as to mater-tal type, size, purchase order and/or lot number. In addition the QC inspector must status each item or container of accepted material with either "QC Accept" sticker or approved green spray paint. E. All CAL-SIL and fiberglass insulation procured for non-safety-related or tempo-rary application was segregated and identified with a stripe of black spray paint on each piece. Ref. TMI Procedure PWI701, Rev. I with PCN 007, Rev. . 1 dated 9/21/84 F. A*. the point' of installation the QC Inspector, using Procedure QCP-1001, Rev. 5 must verify that the identification of materials being installed has been maintained per QCP-801. This provides specific identification and acceptance of the material up until the time individual pieces are removed from their containers (see D above). In addition, if a piece had a black spray paint stripe indicating it was for non-Q application only, that condition would be caught at this point. In summary the actions described above would provide adequate (although minimal) assurance that only CAL-SIL and fiberglass insulations procurred for safety-related and special scope applications and accepted by documented receipt inspection per-formed by TMI QC is installed where designated. Because KG&E is committed to more than " minimal assurance", TMI has been directed to revise their procedure PWI-501 " Installation Procedure" to require traceability of material by MRR up through field installation. This will be done by adding provisions to the Field Material Requisition (FMR) to record the applicable MRR at the time of issue. The completed FMR will then become part of the applicable Field Work Order (FWO) record package. This revision will provide an added measure of assurance that material application can be traced to the pint of installation. This revision (as are all) will be reviewed and approved by both KG&E Construction ! and KC&E Quality Assurance. TMI's revision to Procedure PWI 501 also includes a note that "all material shall , be requested on an (FMR) before being released from the warehouse". Should you have any questions, please contact J. Nelson at extension 1409. ary L. outs Constru ion Manager GLF GN/mh t cc: W. Rudolph l t C. Parry j. R. Mays 4l R. Pogue - l , l A. Critchley . RESPONSE REQUESTED: YES X NO I 1 l l l [
Q1 Remedial / Corrective Action "Although this concern could probably be more conclusively substantiated by comparing insulation release documentation signature dates with the dates of site access, no' further investigation was performed and no corrective actionwas recommended because no QA records are generated or affected by a lack of inspection on the engineer's part". l 4 i I l l l

REQUIREMENT: l The Quality Assurance requirments of Bechtel Specifications 10466- 1 M-160 (0),-M-162A(Q) and - M-162C(0) are included in Specification No. 10466-QA-1, ' General Requirements for Supplier Quality j Assurance Programs for the St'andardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant j System" and directs the Supplier to implement and maintain a d quality assurance program which conforms to the eighteen elements of 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix B and Sections 2 through 19 of ANSI N45.2. Title 10CFR, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion VIII, Identification ard Control of Materials, Parts and Components, establishes that
... Measures shall . assure that identification of the its is maintained...either on the item or on records traceable to the item, as required throughout fabrication, erection,- installation ard use of the its."
Section 9 of ANSI N45.2-1977 requires that " Measures shall be established and documented for the identification and control of materials, parts and components...These measures shall provide for assuring that only correct and accepted items are used and installed, and relating an item of production (batch, lot, cmponent, part) at any stage from initial receipt through fabrication, installation, repair or modification to an applicable drawing, specification or other pertinent technical document. Where physical identification is ... impractical... physical separ-ation, procedural control or other appropriate means shall be employed. Identification may be either on the item or on records i traceable to the item, as appropriate." l l II. CDNDITION: Contrary to the above requirement, Quality First evaluation of 1MI insulation installation turnover documentation has led to the following conclusions: .
- a. The Field Work Order (Installation) packages contain no record i of traceability of insulating material to a warehouse release I doctanent reflecting source of material (P.O., MRR, etc.). ,l ii
- b. Not all material recorded as installed (as highlighted on j reference design drawings) is accountable to the Field Material Requisition (ENR) .

- consequence of failure of an item, the uniqueness of an item, the degree to which functional ecmpliance can be demonstrated, the quality history and ' degree of standardization of an iten and the difficulty of repair or I
replacement of an item. The following recemnendations and proposed corrective actions are offered: { l \ RfXDMMENDATIONS: I ! l
- 1. Quality Assurance evaluation of the cited cotxlition with f consideration given to FSAR compliance with 10 CFR50, Appendix B and ANSI N45.2-1977.
- 2. KG&E control and retention of 'INI warehouse material release doctanertation as OA records.
PROPOSED CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
- 1. Provide assurance that Non-Q fiberglass (or 0-listed but not meeting the requirements of Reg. Guide 1.36) insulating material was not ,
inadvertently installed on safety related stainless steel piping.
- 2. Strengthen program controls such thit material may only. be released on an EMR assigned to a specific Field Work Order package.
- 3. Modification of the mR such that material issued is referenced to a specific Purchase Order /haterial Receiving Report.

January 24, 1986 MEMORANDUM FOR: Robert D. Martin, Regional Administrator 3 Region IV I, FROM: % en B. Hayes, Director ffice of Investigations
SUBJECT:
I. , ' WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION: SUSPECTED IMPROPER DISPOSITION OF AN ALLEGATION OF DRUG USE BY AN ENGINEER (4-85-012) Enclosed is an Office of Investigations Report of Investigation. This investi-gation was initiated after the completion of case A4-85-005, wherein the
- Kansas Gas and Electric (KG&E) Quality First (Q1) investigative program at '
Wolf Creek was reviewed for adequacy. This case was initially investigated by 'l the Q1 office and was selected for further examination by 01 to determine the adequacy of the Q1 investigation due to the appearance of undeveloped leads and questionable findings. An alleger initially reported to the Q1 organiza- - ' tion that he had personall a quality engineering (QE)y witnessed supervisor, usingnumerous marijuana and/or Wolf Creek employees, cocaine at an including off-site residence. The Q1 investigation entailed an unproductive local police record check of the individuals in question. The allegations were . subsequently closed and evaluated as unsubstantiated by Q1. ) The 01 investigation disclosed that an alleger had advised the Q1 organization - that he had actually witnessed three Daniel International Corporation (DIC) quality engineers and one DIC quality engineering supervisor use cocaine at an off-site residence. 01 also discovered that the alleger provided Q1 the :, l identity of three possible witnesses who could verify his allegations. 01 l investigation revealed that this drug investigation had not been referred to site security for disposition, that a number of individuals had not been contacted, and that the case was prematurely and improperly closed at the direction of KG&E management over the objection of the Q1 investigative supervisor. It is 01's conclusion that the Q1 investigation was not conducted in a manner that would meet acceptable investigative' standards of the NRC regarding completeness and adequacy. Neither this report nor transmittal memorandum may be released outside the NRC without permission of the Director 01. Internal NRC access and dissemination should be on a right and need-to-know basis. ^
