SYN 0PSIS ,
On June 12, 1987, the NRC Region !!! Administrator requested that the Office of Investigations'(01) initiate an investigation relating to an allegation that a Commonwealth Edison Comimny (CECO) engineer falsified a preoperational (preop) test at the Braidwood Station (Braidwood) and that Ceco management failed to take prompt action to correct the alleged problem.
On June 23, 1987, 01 initiated an investigation into the alleged October 1984 falsification violation. This investigation has failed to develop direct evidence to support the allegation of falsification of test data for the diesel fuel oil transfer system (D0-12), but has developed evidence which circumstantially supports the improper testing of that system by one test engineer. It could not, however, be established whether that particular L engineer intentionally failed to properly test the system or rather failed ,
to adequately test bece ase of negligence, inexperience, or incompetenc'e.
- The Braidwood document ^ tion of the 00-12 system indicates that by October 22, 1985, sufficient 1%oversy over that system existed for the preop test supervisor to direct the retest of the atire system. The preop supervisor, however, had information from several sources as early as October 1984 which indicated the D0-12 system had o>crability deficiencies which were not
-documented in the preop test paccage. That supervisor chose to ignore the concerns raised by the station technical staff, the test review board, and the project engineering division, and refused to take cof rective action until October 22, 1985, when the test falsification allegation had been documented. <
