PGandE Letter No.: DCL-84-078 ENCLOSURE
- Supplement To PGandE Letter No. DCL-84-067 on Welding of A-325' Bolts d--
~~ ~ '
-~ ~
PGandE letter No. DCL-84-067 dated February 17,1984 (Attaciunent), identified the scope and provided the basis for acceptance of welded ASTM A-325 bolting in pipe support design. This response supplements the infomation previously provided and identifies further actions to be taken to provide increased confidence in the installations.
~
.Resoonse l
Previously,10 supoorts were identified which used welded A-325 bolt design.
Further review has identified that larger A-307 bolts were substituted, with 43gineering approval, in two of these supports (support numbers 43-4G and en 9G). A total of 80 bolts are included in the remaining eight supports.
.1 The bolts are 5/8" in diameter and are attached by a full penetration weld to the fan cooler support stmeture. The weld is ground flush with the bolt to 1-
- fac111tata plate attachment. The welds were made under Pullman Power Products Welding Procedure WPS 7/8 for ASME P1 materials.
To provide increased confidence in the adequacy of existing installations, both laboratory and field tests will be performed.
The field. installation will be duplicated in Bechtal's =etallurgical laboratory using an A-325 bolt cbtained frcm the construction sita. The bolt i.
will be welded to an A-36 plata using a full penetration weld and the sa=e welding parameters used for the existing installations. Apcroximataly two days will be allcwed to elapse prior to examination of the weld. This will allcw adecuata ti=e for hydrogen (the driving forca for cold craching) to diffuse into the basa =starial. A Ifquid penetrant examination will taen be cerfor=ed to show accaptance of the welding procedure for this application.
This effort is scheduled to be completed by March 15, 1984.
l Ten of the eighty A-325 bolts installed will be tasted to verify a tensile strength equal to or greater than the allewable loads for A-307 bolts as established by the AISC Manual. The proof test will be similar to that shown t
in AWS D.1.1 for 5/8' diameterwelded studs. These tests are scheduled to be i
completed by March i
1 15, 1984.
I The results of the process quaf ffication and field tests is scheduled to be reported to the NRC by March 19, 1984.
I j'
l The inappropriata scocification and app 1tcation of welded A-325 bolting is decismented by PGandE Engineering Discrepancy Report No. 84-0154 and Contractor (Pullman Power Products) Discrepancy Report No. 5739, t

'84 N 26 A9:20 My.name is I'am making-this statement freely, with no threat or inducement, to John Clewett, who has identified himself as an attorney working with the Govern-ment Accountability Proj ect in Washington, D.C.
I am making this si:stement because I want the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to he aware that Pacific Gas and Electric has made a series of false and misleading statements to the NRC in an attempt to persuade the NRC to allow the Diablo Canyon plant to go critical.
In particular,^PG&E is not telling the NRC the truth in its letters to the NRC staff which attempt to explain'avay tech-nical' issues.
In order to double check my analysis of PG&E's letters and rebuttals, I have talked at length with a full professor who, for many years, has taught welding metallurgy and non-destructive examination (NDE) at one of the major engineering universities.
He has ' also worked in industry as a Welding Engineer.
He was as shocked at PG&E's misstatements as 1.
I.-
WELDING ON WATER-FILLED CCW PIPES.
For example, in PG&E's March 8, 1984 letter to the NRC, DCL-84-097 (attached as Exhibit 1), PG&E tries to claim that there
. - _- -.s
L' Page 2 are.
,,blems with welding on the component cooling water (CCW) lines when they are filled with water.
However, PGE's attempted explanation is full of false and misleading statements to support the falso conclusion that there is no problem with this welding.
First of all, PG&E says that the pre-heat requirement was satisfied because the water in the pipes was greater than 50 F.
The professor I spoke with, however, said that it is not even properly considered a pre-heat unless the temperature is at least
~100'F.
At 500F, the temperature isn't even high enough to drive off 'any moisture from the outside of the ' pipes.
It'is interesting that PG&E doesn't even mention what the 7
tempera'ture of the water was.
I suspect that PG&E is intentional-ly trying to hide the fact that che water in the component cooling water system, as it travels to the components that need to be
~7 cooled,.is normally at about 620F to 65 F, according to my own knowledge and what I've been told by other people who are still out at Diablo~.
This is.because the component cooling water goes through a heat exchanger which ecols it to the temperature of the ocean, which is.usually roughly between 620F_and 65 F.
PG&E is
-misleading'the reader when it says that the water temperature is
vell above 500", because~it isn't enough above 50 to even drive off the moisture, much less to amount to a pre-heat.
l Another way of looking at this is to. c.onsider the fact a
1 e
b p
Page 3-I that pre-heat. values are established partly based upon the thick-mess of the material, and it is assumed that the back of the mat-erial.is in air.
However, since water has a much higher thermal conductivity rate t.han air, the water-filled pipe acts.like a thicker section of base metal, which would require a higher pre-heat value.
' When PGE failed to cention the actual temperature of the CCW system,- it tried to obscure a very significant fact, and once the temperature is considered, it is obvious that welding to the CCW lines with such cold water in tlam would be very difficult because of the rapid cooling of the weld and the likelihood of cracking would be' greatly increased.
t.
Likewise, PGE omits the crucial facts when it says that the main concern is cold cracking caused by hydrogen.
As the pro-
.fessor confirmed, the primary problem here is the quenching effect of the water.
Because of the rapid cooling, the weld itself can crack, and there can be underbead cracking beneath the weld in' the parent material.
This cracking problem is compounded.by the fact that the
-welding was'.'done.on thin sections. - The thin pipe walls would ba rapidly. cooled by the. cold water, increasing the quenching effect,
~
.' j.
and making underbead cracking all the more likely.
Because of i.
this,- PGE :is blatantly wrong when it 'says that the thinness of Lthe sections." eliminates the possibility of cracking."
PGE
.should have said that it increases the likelihood of cracking.

P
~,
-Page 4 PG E doesn't say that Pullman had actually qualified any
{}
procedure to weld onto water-filled lines, and I strongly doubt that Pullman has qualified any such procedure.
PGE attempts to evade the issue by saying that an engineer " reviewed and accepted" the welding before it was done.
Whatever that is supposed to mean, it doesn't meet the code requirement for qualifying the procedura that is to be used.
N PGE is also wrong in saying that the use of low-hydrogen rods " minimizes the possibility" of cracking.
To begin with, hy-drogen only compounds the problem of the quench rate.
But in ad-dition, some hydrogen is diffused into the metal even from low-hydrogen electrodes, and there will also be hydrogen from the moisture which.the cold lines tend to collect, and which would not have been. driven off because there was no real pre-heating.
1Thus, hydrogen cracking is an additional problem.
l-PGE's excuses haven't explained away the fact that cracking is likely, primarily because of the fast quench rate,
' which PGE totally ignored in its analysis.
If PGE actually
' wanted to eliminate the' possibility of cracking, it should phys-i fically examine the welds themselves with appropriate tests, such f
- as hardness tests to check the hardness of the welds and of the i,
heat-affected zone.
Photomicrographs of the structures involved f
' would' also be reconsnanded for this circumstance.
The professor summed up PGE's response as being due 1
f;.
3
.I'.il -
,c
g, Page 5 "either to gross ignorance or to a cover-up."
I agree.
Either PG&E does not understand the basic concept of the rate of cooling, or they are deliberately trying to mislead the uninitiated.
I
[
i I'..
WELDING OF A-325 BOLTS.
PG&E has also made false statements in its February 17, 198'4 letter to the NRC concerning the welding of A-?" bolts.
(DCL-84-067, attached'as Exhibit 2.)
PG&E tries to sidestep the fact that cold cracking is more likely when high-strength materials are welded,.by saying that, " cold cracking is easily detected by visual y
inspection."
I couldn't believe that PG&E would make such a state-rent, so I discussed this point, also, with the professor.
He said i
that PG&E s statement was the most ridiculous thing he had heard in years..
In fact, cold cracking is not easy to detect visually be-cause'it.usually occurs in che interior part of the weld or in the
. parent material, and therefore is not visible as a surface crack.
A. cold crack can gradually' grow until it reaches a critical size, and then can.take off as a " running crack", rapidly growing in size
.(at a speed of 1500 feet per second), which can lead to the sudden total failure of the welds.
I am told that because of such run-
.ning cracks, more than.EG of the Liberty Ships built for the U.S.
Navy in World War Two suffered catastrophic cracking and sank.
l On February 29,1984, PG&E sent the NRC a supplement to a
~.
u
.....--._,~._,_-._,_._,__..-.__.,,_..-_.._,,1
Page 6 their attempted explanation of welding A-32s bolts (DCL-84-078, attached as Exhibit 3).
This describes an after-the-fact effort to qualify the welding of A-325 bolts.
Aside from the fact that welding procedures are suppose'd to be qualified before the work'is done, there are several flaws in PG&E's process.
First of all, PG&E is wrong in saying that "approximately two days" is " adequate for hydrogen....to diffuse into the base metal." -In fact, the problem with cold cracking is that it can develop long.after the weld is done, as much as six months or more.
Even more' incredibly, PG&E says that they will perform a liquid penetrant test to show the acceptance of the procedure.
l However, liquid penetrant testing can only detect surface cracks, E
while the main problem with cold cracking is that it is underbead cracking which;doesn't show u_p,on the surface.
So PG&E's testing l
on which they propose to retroactively qualify the welding of
'A-325 bolts is the wrong test.
It will be unable to detect the l'
kind of cracks that are most likely to occur.

I hope the NRC, through lack of technical knowledge, doesn't hastily s: cept PGE's false and misleading explanations.
Local residents here in San Luis Obispo county deserve better.

WELDING 0F DOUBLER PLATES ON CCW SYSTEM PIPING
?
The following discussion provides the basis for acceptance of welds made on the component cooling water (CCW) system piping while filled with water.
L The review and acceptance of welding to water-filled lines was performed by 4
the cognizant engineer prior to any welding being performed.
CCW system piping, while filled, was the preferred method due to environmental 3 Welding to the considerations associated with draining and disposal of chromated water held in the system.
iiI j
The weld procedure used was Pullman Power Products Weld Procedure 7/8 which is I
applicable to P1 materials.
The CCW pipe is A-53, Grade B material and the d
E attachment plates are A-S15 Grade 70 material, both classified as P1 material i
in ASME Section IX.
The weld procedure requires a minimum preheat of 500F.
-a The CCW system was at a temperature well above 500F; therefore, preheat s
requirements were satisfied.
"2 3
The main concern with welding to water-ft11ed lines is the cracking. Since the ssibility of cold weldsent is hyorogen, primary agent which can cause cold crac' king in the (E 7018) which minimizes hydrogen and, therefore, minimizes th 6

Exhibic 2, p. 2 of 6 PGandE Letter No.: DCL-84-067 ENCLOSURE WELDING OF A-325 BOLTS
- REQtEST FOR INFORMATION The HRC requested PGandt to identify the scope and provide the basis for
. acceptance of welded ASTM A-325 bolting in pipe support design.
RESPONSE
Welded ASTM A-325 bolt design has been used in only 10 pipe supports, numbers 45/44 through 9G and 59N/lG through 4G. These pipe supports are on the component cooling water system lines to the containment fan coolers and are attached by A-325 bolts welded to the fan cooler support structure. The bolts are all 5/8" di~ameter and are welded to ASTM A-36 steel. Project procedures and their referenced standards and codes do not provide for this application of A-325 bolting. However, PGandE has researched the asterial reperties and allowable stresses used in bolt evaluation and has determined tte installation to be accentable.
The bolts used are A-325 Type 1.
ASY:1. material standards indicate that the chemical properties of A-325 Type 1 are sta11ar to ASTM A-105. The appropriate sections of these standards are attached as References 1 and 2.
The carbon and manganese content are nearly identical and there are no alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, or molybdenum. Therefore, since A-105 is a P-1 saterial. A-325 Type 1 can be considered a P-1 material based on chemical property considerations.
A-325 Type 1 bolts are provided in a quenched and tempered condition. The bolts were wolded to A-35 steel (P-1 material) using welding procedures for P-1 asterials. The fitups and the completed welds were visually inspected and acceptance was documented. The tendency for cold cracking of welds increases when welding high strength =atorials; however, since cold cracking is essify
. detected by visual inspection, PGandt is confident the welds are crack free.
f Welding of these bolts causes the properties to change from those associated with a quenched and tempered condition to those associated with a normalized condition. The change in physical properties causes allowable stresses to be reduced toward those of A-307 Grade B.
Calculations show that these bolts are qualified using A-307 Grade B allowables.

I am making this statement, without any threWt.toritco,rs' ion, l
S D NCH
{
to John Clewett, who in an attorney working with the Govern-ment Accountability Project.
I am making this statement because I am upset that the NRC does not seem to be paying attention to I
the quality-assurance breakdown that has occurred at Diablo canyon, or to the epidemic of harassment and intimidation of quality-control inspectors and falsification of documents.
There has been a lot of information brought out about the quality-assurance (QA)_ breakdown at the Pullman Power Products Corporation, where I used to work as a quality-control (QC) inspector, but it goes well beyond Pullman.
In particular, when I worked for the Guy F. Atkinson Company the same problems existed there.
L For examp12, when I was at Atkinson, I observed an inspector sitting at his desk in the office, repeatedly signing someone else's name to a whole stack of documents.
It turned out that an inspector had lef t Atkinson, and after ha left someone decided that there were a number of documents that he should have signed or initia11ed.
so, instead of re-inspecting the work, or even trying to get the first inspector to try to reconstruct the paperwork, Atkinson chose to have another inspector forge the i
x
I signature of the first inspector.
Since he was doing this in the office I assume that it was done with the knowledge of management, and probably at their direction, to make the paperwork good-looking, even if inaccurate.
l Also while I was at Atkinson, during the time that seis-mic modifications were being done to the turbine building, I discovered that someone had signed my name as having inspec-ted some work that I knew quite well I had never inspected.
At that time Atkinson had two shifts, and I discovered that it was a person on the other shift who had forged my name.
I confronted him about it and he admitted that he had signed my name, and the signature was corrected.
He did not, to the best of my knowledge, ever forge my signature again.
Incidents like this one point out the need for QC personnel to always be alert to the possibility of being set up, so as to take the rap for having approved bad work, a tactic that has been used to fire people at Diablo.
The same problem exists at Pullman.
I have been told by two separate QC inspectors at Pullman that they were upset that Harold Karner, the QA/QC managar, had forged their names on documents.
At least one of them was talking about hiring a lawyer, although I do not know if he did.
V The particular reason I was concerned about the possibility of being set up at Atkinson is that another inspector and I,.
s
_.._o..
who were on the swing shift at the time, had a reputation for taking a firmer attitude toward inspection than that of the inspectors on the day shift, because we tried to insist that the work be done right.
This led to a series of verbal confrontations because the word was put out that the swing shift was going to be shut dowr. because of us.
The other inspector had the tires of his car punctured.
Atkinson did shut down the swing shift, and each of us was transferred to the day shift, soon after which an iron-worker superintendant threatened me, saying that I was not going to "get away with" the same things on day shift as on swing shift, and I had better watch out.
I was quite intimi-dated.
Soon after that, I noticed a welder on a scaffold, doing welding that required pre-heating and the maintenance of the proper interpass temperature.
But I could tell that he was doing neither of these, because there whs no oxyacetylene hose running to his work station.
So I climbed up the scaffold with a temperature " crayon" to check the temperature, and found that he was in violation of the minimum temperature requirements.
As I checked the temperature, the welder demanded to know "what are you doing?", suggesting that he didn't even know the requirements for maintaining the temperature of the work above a certain minimum.
And when I told him that he was in viola-
~
m m
tion of the code, he got very upset, especially because about six feet of welding had to be groand out.
The reason that the craft worker did not know the require-ments was that no one had informed him, and because no one enforced the regulations.
The production foremen should have instructed the craf t about what to do, and quality control should have been enforcing the regulations.
It was, however, common to see QC personnel sitting around at their desks, reading newspapers, instead of doing their jobs by actively engaging in surveillance of the construction work being done.
Shortly after that incident, I was physically retaliated against by two ironworkers.
One of them asked me to' inspect the root pass on some welding.
To get to it I had to climb down below the floor level, and as I was down there, another ironworker dumped a bucket of water, of indeterminate quality, on my head.
The ironworkers had coordinated this to get me down there so they could dump the water on me.
When I told my leadman about this, he told me that since I was leaving soon anyway to go to work for Pullman (I did plan on leaving in approximately two weeks) that he would put someone else on the job, and I should just lay low for my re-j maining time at Atkinson.
f For the next two weeks I did essentially no inspection l
work.
In effect, the ironworkers had succeeded in running me l
i o
.I
. -.. ~
off the job.
No one ever took any action against either of the ironworkers, and I did not press the issue myself because I was leaving.
I have read the above 5-page statement, and it is true, correct and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

AFFIDAVIT 00LKETED U%RC My name is I am %v gg gh g,g fidavit freely, without any threats or promises,:C: 2r !;.;. -to John Clewett, sC-anattorneywiththeGovernmentAccount$bil({yf; Project.
I am making this statement because I am concerned thnc the NRC may hurriedly grant a low-power testing license for the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant and 'I have serious con-cerns about the quality assurance - quality control programs that I have been involved with while working there.
I would like to state that in no way am I fundamentally opposed to nuclear power and that I have, to the best of my ability, tried to resolve what I feel are quality problems by working within the system.
I have, on occassion, received prompt and acceptable resolutions to questions I have raised.
However, at other times, and much too often, I feel, I was given only poor answers or in seme instances, no response at all.
I have not chosen to pursue unanswered issues to the NRC for two reasons, fear of retaliation by my current employer, Pullman Power Products, and the apparent lack of any real concern by the NRC staff.
i
{
For these reasons I also have chosen to remain anonymous.
I have previously been exposed to threat and intimidation by j
Pullman management and I know of other employees who have been fired for being too quality-conscious for Pullman's i
t B5 e
2 i
tastes.
The areas in which I think there are the greatest deficiencies in Pullman's Q.C. program are the following:
- 1. Failure to adequately train Q.C., craft End field engineering personnel; L
- 2. Failure to maintain adequate drawing and design gl control; and
- 3. Failure to provide answers to quality concerns without threats or intimidation.
I.
TRAINING When I began working for Pullman in 1982, there were a
L-less than thirty inspectors employed at that time and only
.. 3 a few hundred craft (welders and pipe-fitters) on the job.
Between November 1982 and August 1983, the workforce increased I
i to about 7,000.
Sixty to 100 welders were tested per week and started working.
Many of these people had no previous nuclear plant experience and were not familiar with the procedures and code requirements of nuclear work.
While this rapid increase in craf t force was taking place, Pullman was having difficulty in hiring qualified and experienced inspectors.. I attribute that mostly to the poor pay scale being offered at that time.
Frank Layante, Pullman's Assistant CA/QC Manager at
~
Diablo Canyon, was in charge of hiring.
He made several
$['
trips to other areas, including Washington and Minnesota, in a
i an effort to hire more inspectors.
He interviewed more than j
100 people with nuclear inspection experience, but because of
)
the low pay being offered only a few accepted employment.
-t
'1
-i.--i
h' 3
~
Consequently, Pullman was forced to hire people who had no experience as QC inspectors in order to provide the minimum number of inspectors required.
To make the situation worse, there was no formal training program for these people.
They were given materials to read, summarily tested on that material, and then certified as inspectors.. In working with these people.
I can state that the majority hwe bacome adequate inspec-tors over time, but only after months of'on-the-job train-ing, and, I presume, after they had made numerous errors in their work.
Because of the lack of experience or adequate training, I would-have to judge the quality of Pullman's inspectors as marginal at best,' with an obvious lack of experience, for the period of January 1983 to September 1983, during which time most of the Unit Cne work was completed.
The situation has improved somewhat since then, but the work performed from January to September 1983 must be considered suspect.
I have spoken with many of these inspectors and the majority of them. agree that they feel they were not qual-ified or trained proparly to perform their work.
Most of them have stated that they woula not care to have their previous werk ihspected.
The problems we were experiencing in our QC program of not having enough qualified inspectors, was also evident in the Pullman field engineering department.
Although field
^ '
engineers had a somewhat-limited responsibility in regards
~
.- A 4
I y
4 to.. design work, they were given the power to make field l
changes - called quick fixes - that in some instances i
i completely altered the original design.
I will expand on e
'i' this later as a separate issue.
6 1,
With very few exceptions the people that Pullman hired i.
.f
[
as field engineers had no previous nuclear experience, t
t L!
had'no p'revious experience in any related field such as oil 1
l refinery'or pipeline work, and had no engineering degree.
(
Nor.did Pullman train the field engineers any more thoroughly than the QC personnel, and so they had to take the same sort of on-the-job training approach
-while the work was proceeding.
As inspectors, we were expected to identify errors made by field engineers.
But for much too l
l long a period, we-had a'" blind leading the blind" system.
1
- Ultimately, the final review of quick fixes and as-built drawings was made'by Pullman's QA department.. Here again, the majority of people who were hired were not exper-ienced at that type of work.
In spite of that,-they did I
find numerous errors, which I think is partly because they were so prevalent auut so easily discovered.
The problems of rejected drawings were so severe that nearly a third of L
the already accepted work had faults that were found by QA.
L Unfortunately, this does not indicate to me that QA was doing its job adequately, though, because I have often reviewed QA rejects and found even more problems than QA had.

l While the level of experience and training was I
extremely poor, at best, for QC,-QA and' field engineering, I

it was non-existent for craft personnel, including foremen and general foremen.
Their attitude was then - and still is -
that QC and engineering will direct them and in'struct them in regard to code requirements.
Of course, after a period of time, most craft personnel eventually become familiar with the procedures they have been using.
Howeve
~Ften they must do work that is governed by another..eec$
t.
As an example, procedures for rupture restr
.s using ESD243 and the American Welding Society (AWS) code are quite different from pipe supports using ESD 223 and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code.
This led to great confusion and far too many mistakes by all concerned.
The problems were so numerous that separate departmante were set up to perform only one type of work.
This seemed to help alleviate some of the problems, but only after many errors were made that still exist in completed work.
My greatest concern is with Pullman's fundamental approach of starting the work first, and then if problems occur, at best, only trying to rectify the system to prevent the same errors from occurring in the future, without going back to correct previous mistakes.
As an example, I have noted non-campliances such as welding performed without using the required welding procedure.
I wrote a discrepency report identifying the problem, but the response from PG&E was simply to " accept as is," a response I've become all too accustomed to seeing.

The S.T.P.R. " steps to prevent recurrence" block on the 4
form was filled in with the typical " retrain QC and craft in f4 the requirements of E.S.D.."

si Because of the lack of adequate experience and training for QC, engineering, and QA for most if not all of the jlA construction of Diablo, I think that the quality of m2ch k
.f!!i of the construction at Diablo is simply indeterminate.
I 1l
[
i II.
DRAWING AND DESIGN CONTROL a
k Another generic failure at Pullman that I think has seriously compromised the quality of Pullman's work is the 4
J-lack of effective drawing control, and therfore inadequate N1 control of the design of the plant.
The drawings issued to 6
4>
4 the field for work often needed modifications that were f
]/
outside the tolerances allowed by Pullman's procedures, the G
g ESD's.
To accomplish these design changes, a system called
(
-i
" Quick Fix"'- later changed in Unit 1 to Pipe Support Design 4
i E
i 5
Tolerance Clarification -
was instituted.
The Quick Fix 3
form is filled in by a Pullman field engineer and then co-3 signed by a Bechtel field engineer.
Thus the quick fix was 2
3 i,
a a change of design made in the field.
The basis for these d
m i;
i I
=
r 1
7 design changes was strictly a matter of the engineering judgement of the field engineers as to what seemed like it would work.
There was no requirement for any load or stress calculatiens.
The situation is made worse by the manner in which Quick Fixes are often prepared.
Often they wtre hand drawn under poor conditions and were in many cases impossible to interpret.
The Quick F1x program was designed to expedite construction, and therefore there was pressure to write Quick Fixes hastily.
Practically every drawing issued would require at least one Quick Fix, and I have seen as many as thirty-five Quick Fixes for a single hanger.
This can make interpretation very hard, because several Quick Fixes could address the same item and describe different solutions.
Some would supersede and void portions of the d. Tawing or of other Quick Fixes, but it was difficult or, at times, impossible to clearly under-stand what was intenec.d.
At times, a complete redesign occurred through the use of Quick Fixes. The Quick Fix became the design, but they
- were not controlled nor were they stamped as approved for construction as the original drawing was required to be indicating that they were controlled copies, ready for use in construction.
Presumably, the completed work was submitted to PG&E for reanalysis.
However, because of the often confusing nature 4
m 6
_o
- j Y
s
t 8
of' Quick Fixes, and'the lack of control, I doubt that the Ldrawings submitted to PG&E accurately reflect what exists in the field.
I feel that considering the conditions and pressures that we are required to work under, anything less than a
' clear and precise drawing to work from is bound to prcmote mistakes and faulty workmanship, and to leave the ultimate quality of the installed work as a big question mark.
I III. _ FAILURE TO. ADEQUATELY ANSWER SAFETY CONCERNS f
The third area of concern.that I wish to address is the failure of management to provide prompt and adequate answers to quality control questions raised by inspectors.
The way things work in practice is that for those questions that
'u are easily answerable, a. response is quickly given.
For those. questions'that are not easily resolved, however, an excessive amount of time, perhaps months, is taken before
~?
any response is given.
And then,.quite often, only a poor
~
or less than satisfactory answer'is provided.
When I have further pursued certain issues, I have r
been met with anger and hostility.for my persistence.
It seems that there are a number of sensitive issues that i-no one wants to address.
When pushed for answers, manage-
' ment typically responds by saying not to concern yourself with that.
Those inspectors who choose to pursue their s
questions
.for example to the NRC - have found themselves in: strong disfavor with Pullman management.
There have been many instances.of-intimidation, threats of firing, L.
- y i jngg.,
9 4;7p.y j..
9 denial of pay raises and, on at least two occasions that I am personally aware of, actual firings in retaliation for pressing safety issues or quality concerns.
For these reasons, most inspectors decide not to pursue their safety and quality concerns too far.
I believe a system should exist whereby any and all questions could be answered completely and promptly, and without harassment by management.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
By experiencing dif-ficulties in this area, and noting the same problems that other. inspectors have had, most inspectors have resigned themselvestothefactthatktappearsthatneitherPullman, PG&E nor the NRC staff, are interested in spending the necessary effort to fully resolve quality assurance concerns.
This " pro-consf.ruction" rather than " pro-quality" attitude has caused a widespread lack of compliance with the codes and standards we are supposed to meet.
IV.
LACK OF EFFECTIVE NRC OVERSIGHT What troubles me most is the apparent lack of involvement in the construction process by the NRC staff.
The resident NRC inspectors are rarely, if ever, seen on-site which leads me to conclude that they are either not aware of or do not D
care about the ongoing problems that occur during construction.
Judging'from what I have read of the responses by the NRC
/
staff to concerns regarding quality, in particular~the NRC response to the 1977 NSC Audit of Pullman's QC-QA program, it appes.rs that.the NRC staff is not at all interested in s -,
,..3..
... ~,
...a 10 honestly evaluating PG&E, because they might have to find fault or non-compliance.
Instead, the NRC staff seems 1
much too eager to simply accept any answer given to them by Pullman or PG&E, without any independent evaluation of whether the answers they are given make any sense at all.
It appears to me that the NRC is working too closely with PG&E rather than monitoring the project to assure that there is a compliance with codes and law.
I cone'lude that what I see as major faultc and break-downs in the quality control program of Pullman cannot be exclusively the fault of Pullman but mutt be shared equally - if not to a greater extent - by PG&E and the NRC.
Regardless of the allocation of blame, the bottem line j
is that the quality of the construction of Diablo Canyon is suspect, and the plant is nowhere close to being ready to be licensed to go critical.
I have read the above 10 page statement and it is true, correct and ccmplete to the best of my knowledge e.nd belief.

.a My name is Don Hedrick,. I am submitting this affidavit freely and voluntarily, without any threats, indecements or coercion, to Mr.
Thomas.Devine, who has identified himself to se as the legal director of the.Covernment Accountability Project.
I worked at Diablo Canyon
. Nuclear. Power Plant as a quality control (QC) inspector in 1974, and-
~~
.again.during. 1978-79, for Pullman Power Products (then W.W. Kellogg) and Guy F. Atkinson Company, respectively.
I am submitting this state-ment to evidence my concern over Pullman's inability to keep track of
~
~ design specifications to guide construction work during the early years; andTAtkinson's pervasive quality assurance (QA) breakdown for
. welding and other work on the Hosgri seismic, or earthquake, modifi-cations during my second stint at Diaolo Canyon.
I.have welded and worked with metal for 15 years, with special
' expertise in structural. steel.and diversified repair work.
I have a lot of professional pride in my work.
As a result, it was painful to work at Diablo Canyon, where quality was the tail wagged by the production dog.
I am also concerned'that the plant my be unsafe without a co=plete reinspection, at least for the Pullman and Atkinsen
, work.that I observed.
There is little doubt-in my mind that the QA i
_ rogram has failed to flush out and correct the existing, deficient p
work.that could represent safety hazards.
PULLMAN PO'4R PRODUCTS I' worked for Pullman /Kellogg as a field-inspector for around six months.between January and' July, 1974.
My initial duties were to file x-rays into the' appropriate packets, after which I was assigned to audit O
e 4
,,-.,a
. the records vault.
My final responsibility was to audit,, publish, and distribute biweekly revisions of the engineering specifications and weld procedures.
There was a strike in July 1974, when I'was laid off and did not return for three and one half years.
- 1. I severely doubt that Pullman complied with design specifi. cations (ESD) or welding procedures (WPS) during the early years of construc-tion, because when-I audited their status and distributed the current versiens in 1974 I learned that over 200 different versions of the design specifications and weld procedures were being used simultan-eously.
Revisions packets up to one half inch thick were coming out every two weeks.
There were half a dozen revisiens per year on some sections.
But the foremen had been very lax in reading and inserting the revisions.
In some cases, as I updated the files, I saw that foremen were missing several dozen revisions for particular specs.
GUY F. ATKINSON q
g I began work for Atkinson in early 1979 as a structural steel LFAO W Y_;?CT.9' welding inspector.
I later was 9romoted o heed night shift aup;rr c e.,
794
,e J/e7~
where I was responsible forvfivei nspecto,r.
I primarily worked in the turbine building, handling QA oversight of the Hosgri mod'ifications.
I stayed until the end of Atkinson's contract in August, 1979.
MANIPULATION OF QUALITY INSFECTIONS 2.
My boss told.me not to.look right or left during my inspections.
I was specifically informed that I was only to look at the individual weld assigned.
3 There were drastically inconsiatent inspec' tion standards betwe'en Quality.*.ssurance (QA) inspectors on the day and night shifts.
The night shift routinely rejected work that would have been accepted by the day shift.
The difference in our standards was that the night shift was not accepting work unless it met cpecifications.The day
[
h
. shift accepted work that was obviously unacceptable.
In one example, the night crew did not know the work had already been bought off by the
~
day inspectors.
The acceptance had not yet appeared in the books.
The production department spent four hours completing the assignment, because it obviously was not a finished work product.
There was too much reinforcement piled on the weld in question.
(See December 27, 1978 swing memorandum, enclosed as Exhibit 1.).
'4 Management built informal tolerances into the theoretically minimum design specifications, as another tactic to accept work that fell below the minimum requirements.
For instance, management used this technique to instruct us to accept undercized bevel welds on the flange extension bars.
The design called for at least 5/8 inch dsuble bevel welds and one inch single bevel welds.
But almost every bar had undersized bevels.
There were 1/2 inch bevels, and 7/8 inch single bevels.
They were all acceptable, under the management's
" tolerance" system.. This is anothe'r example where the day and night shifts applied different inspection standards.
A February 12, 1979 swing memorandum describing the undersized welds is enclosed as Exhibit 2A.
A table issued by management to describe the tolerances is enclosed as
'3 Exhibit 23.

The quality of early Atkinson inspectors was erratic; nec-essary information was not verifie4 because there wasn't a perfected,
systematic weld record system.
The system initially was established by trial and error from the bottom up.
Later, the system was perfected.
But some of the early inspection records were so superficial that multiple operations or welds were covered by a single check mark.
(See February 2, 1979 swing memerandum enclosed as Exhibit 3, at p. 2) 6.
Management had quality control documents falsified to upgrade the incomplete inspection records.
Other personnel doctored the records
.r t
to add information that hadn't been included by the initial inspectors,

after;the originators had left the job.
To illustrate, separate li.
detailed. inspection records were created and substituted for one
'y checkLmark that app;oved multipe welds in the earliest records.
'I'was an eyewitness to this practice.
,+
l-
'7.
Management instructed us to emphasize _certain sections of the specifications and to ignore others.
For example, we were' told not to._ write.up vic1ations.of the specifications against excessive weave for welds.
The specs say.the rod cannot be moved more than twice its diameter; but I saw instances of weave that is 1 1/4 inches wide. 'This was around five times too much weave.
Excessive manipu-
- 1ation.of the rod buries slag into the weld. and decreases the density
~ of the: weld.
QA canagement' criticized the night shift for issuing hold tags on these violations and told us to stop the practice.
[
.Similarly the specifications have. limits on how oversized a weld can be.
In some cases smids were grossly over the specified size.
But 11
. production and QA management heavily resisted and personally raked me over-the; coals.when we wrote up violations of weld size limitations.
'8.
I saw that.a-large number of welds on the underside of the k
f1'oor at the 119 -foot-level. had been _ accepted, although ' the work did not meet the requirements on the drawings. I.was sent to_ inspect one group of l'
welds because crews were shorthanded-and the scaffolds couldn't be removed.until the work was bought. These welds were at different stitch
-lengths and spacing _than specified on the drawings.
The work =anship was so_ poor.that in the trade they would be called " dog meat".
They
- were consistently' in violation of the requirements but had been consist-
/k rM Sw'?
J ently. accepted.
I compared these welds with the other welds L m ah pg 7,
- MS 'I'had.been assigned and that were similarly bad.
I started looking
.e.
around'to see if there were any acceptable welds.
I ended up tagging h

The last day of Atkinson% senweet I observed and reported
-velds _that failed my inspection.at about a 60 % rate,due to deficien-
[
- cies such as. grossly ~ undersized legs, gross undercuts and rollover d-notches on-the horizontal edges of the-welds.
There was so much slag in -the undercuts that I had to clean the welds just to see what was there.
The worst problam was that these welds had already been QA-accepted.
I looked.at 100-150-welds up half of one side of the
. fuel handling buildin6, which means that 60-90 bad welds previously had
. been accepted Ar Mr $f/M(4X, h I did not report the 60-90 bad' welds in the fuel handling
. bud. ding on a formal nonconformance form.
Instead on QA manager Kiki Anderson's direct orders, I submitted the results to him on one sheet, with no copies.:
i-
- 11.. The.. reason for the. informal quality report on the - fuel handling-building welds;is.that Mr. Anderson already had. signed off to accept the welds Anich I~_just inspected.
He~had_ accepted the
- welds;without lookinglcloselyj_at them~a few weeks before the end of L
~
Atkinson's contract.
He. explained to me that he had walked the line but hadn't bent down.
11 2.
-I was instructed to report QA violations through memoranda, and-
-~not to use the formal nonconformance reporting system.
My supervisor would' decide if the memorandum should'be written up.
This kept the
-NRC.from seeing the issues I~ raised.
Everything was a private affair between the boss and.myself.
13.
Management prevented me from inspecting in the more sensitive
. areas'of~the, plant.
My inspections were too thorough, and I consistently q
was able to back-up my findings.-- To illustrate the restrictions, my
((
boss'explicitely told me they would never let me in the containment q.
~because it would disrupt the. schedule.
The restrictions violated my

g legally-required organizational freedom and also illegally sacrificed quality to scheduling concerns.
Most significantly, the policy suggests _that_the same. deficiencies I was finding in the turbine building also exis'ted in1other parts of the plant with ev,en greater safety significance.
14 At management instructions production crews ignored and/or removed hold tags'I had issued.
In fact, production crews worked for
~three days on the welds in one' case. gthatinstanceeventhe production foreman supported my tag because he knew the welds could not pass ultrasonic testing (UT)_ examination.
Even the welder wanted to hang a new plate.
The techniques were so poor that lack of fusion was a near certainty.
But management overrode the reject tag.
(See July 28, 1978 swing memorandum, enclosed as Exhibit 4).
15.. AnetherLinstance Ehere; production crews removed the hold tags.isfdescribed in the March 8, 1979 swing memorandum, enclosed as Exhibit'5.
Production:didn't take any metal out or remove the weld as they should have.7 ~ Instead, crews just. ground it down so you wouldn't know that'a weld 1was there.
16.
During the summer of 1978 the hold-tag los book was falsified to erase'any reference to-a hold tag I had handwritten. Consistent with usual practice I.had issued and logged in by hand-hold tag 026 one T'e hold tag involved a. violation that occurred from damage h
evening.
when.an erection aid was removed from a gusset plate.
In the process, about 1/41 inch divit had been ripped out from the base metal when the erection aid was broken off.
The next day after I filed my entry in the log the secretary took that page-and on a new page typed the entries up[tomy.holdtag026.
Then she stopped and returned the typed version
~
to.the log.
Eventually, someone else logged in.a new hold tag 026.
Ja -
Mine' vanished.
To my knowledge the violation was not fixed.

17 I informed management of the missing hold tag referenced in hf-a memorandum the next day.
My memo was ignored.
BEL 18.
Although I was the head welding inspector on the night shift, fE' management denied me the authority to issue hold tags directly a few EB-weeks after my memo on the missing hold tag.
I had to leave a request l{
for the day shift supervisor to issue the tags.
I was the only 3F7 inspector who could not issue hold tags which is an inspector's
{_
basic enforcement tool for immediate relief.
Work may have continued and problems been exacerbated before the day shift supervisor got to my requests,aven when he didn't vete them.
r 19 Removal of hold tags coincided with attempts to cover up the flaws that had been cited.
One case involved one inch weld rod
((
weave, when the maximum was 5/8'".
After my hold tag was removed the E-weld was covered over by performing more weld passes, called stringers.
+
But even then, the coverup was unsuccessful.
The original weld diameters were still visible in gaps between groups of stringer welds.
(See Exhibit 3, at p. 1).
HARASSMENT AND RETALIATION 20.
One of my crew suffered crude harassment after an inspection.
Construction crews frc=two floors above, or around 35-40 feet, doused him with mopwater from the blue room.
That scans they dumped mopwater on him from the bathroom.
~
21.
Construction crews threatened inspectors with personal bodily hamias reprisal for interfering with production. For example, in a March R. 1079 swing memorandum (Exhibit 5) one of my inspectors descr,1b,ed an ironworker's "357 rumor and you."
"357" referred to a
" 357 Magnum" handgun.
hN
,y
==
s fg
- 22.
Construction-crews repeatedly threatened me with physical retaliation for obstructing production.
Threats included such
,7
- incidents as gang rape'by ironworkers.
Although I didn't take the 3'
. threats seriously, after one incident I returned to the parking lot.
My truck was. tilted'on its chin and there were two flat tires, from being slashed.
-23.
Management was openly hostile to the night shifts high quality standards, and around April 1979 abolished our entire shift.
There was little question about-the reason for abolishing the_ shift.
Supervisors informally told us the reason was that it was not economical to keep our shift when we wouldn't buy the work.
2 4.. -This canc,elling our shift was the last incident after japeriodofmanagemengostility-againstthenightshift.
Earlier management had warWhd.us toLease up on our standards.
-25
. When management' cancelled the night shift to eliminate a production obstacle, it also sacrificed the best qualified inspectors for the.Hosgri modifications on the turbine-building.
Most of the inspectors on-night shift.went to Cal Poly during the day where they were in the'midst.of advanced engineering or welding programs. When
~ the nignt' shift was cancelled we inherently lost those inspectors, since they were scheduled for classes during the day.
By contrast, the day shift inspectors left'to cover everything consisted primarily
.of individuals whose basic qualifications were that they_needed the
'4
. ork and passed a_one-week inspection course.

l WELDER QUALIFICATIONS
- 27. sThe welders that came out of the qualification process had to do the work three to four times before it was acceptable in some
~
instances.
This created an unknown-degree of extra stress on the
~ structural ~ steel.(See July 19, 1978 memorandum to Mike Anderson, enclosed as Exhibit 7).
28.
It was almost: impossible to get unqualified welders off the
- job, ms paper I had the authority to send them back for additional training and retesting.. But prcduction would ignore my instructions and justereassign the ~ welders' to -another crew.

' QUALITY ~0F WELDING
- 29..
Undocumented welds, performed by unknown welders, were a common-occurrence.
Even if.the weld were repaired, there would only
['
q.
be documentation identifying the second welder who fixed it.
There was no way to identify the original welder'whose work was deficient.
On site we' jokingly referred to those undocumented welders as " ghost
- e '
welders,"
(See February 14, 1979' memorandum, enclosed as Exhibit 8.)
[42
- r; 130.. When inspectors found evidenceoof ghost welding, management 14 5 -
did not satisfactorily address the problem and it persisted.
Although

'I observed tack welding using flux core, a process used for' heavy. filling passes.
Tack welding is just to hold something sensitively in position.- They should be as small as possible, since they get consumed in the new weld. There is no provision in the specifications or procedures allowing that process to be used for tack welds.-
.32._
Informal or. undocumented weld repairs created more damage than existed initially in some cases, such as when crews ground from 1/32 " to 3/32 " down-into the base-metal.
In a February 15, 1979 swing memorandum, enclosed as Exhibit 9, I warned, "This is a problem 5,
we must deal with fast as much damage.is being done".
I did not receive a response, and the process of grinding these welds flush continued.
As a result after grind flush it was not possible to usually determine that a weld we)a(r ou of specif,1 cation.

quality in seme, cases.
For example, use of the wrong weld technique created uneven stress on certain stiffeners,.This createdse much
^
excess tension that there were instances where people working in the vicinity could hearLthe welds pop, s
yf 134 In'some cases, illegall;y-performed informal weld repairs covered up. initial deficiencies whose effects will remain as dormant hazards.
.To_ illustrate, crews welded over broken tack welds, which is illegal under the code and specifications.
You have to fix or removc a
[
Lbroken tack weld.
'If you weld over it as is, there is no guarantee
,{
.that the broken tack weld will be completely incorporated into the new weld.
Cracks from the tack weld can then repropogate into the new
- welding.

Our initittive was only partially successful.
While the inspection procedures for preheat treatment were upgraded, the change only applied prospectively to work in progress.
Any welding
, already done and inspccted without preheating was home free.
37.
I was concerned about inadequate preheating for steel greater than two inches thick.
The specs require preheating when the steel is more than 1 5 inches thick.
Unfortunately, in some cases there was no evidence of preheating or of any temperature monitoring in other instances.
(See e.g., January 9, 1979 swing memorandum enclosed as Exhibit 10).
38.
There was a significant problem with lack of weld rod control.
.In one instance in February, 1979, over 16 weld rods were issued and not returned.
In addition, 80 stubs could not be accounted for. (See February 9, 1979 swing. memorandum to Terry Walker, enclosed as Exhibit 11.)
BLUEPRINTS.
p 39 Managra p' 7t introduced errors into the blueprints by switching identificationCode about 20-25%
the way through the Hosgri hn ' then failing to keep track of the mcdifications on the turbin changes.
In some cases, the blueprints were read backwards.
In fact, sometimes the drawings themselves got the locations backward.
At best there was confusion.
To illustrate this phenomenon, an A-G system was changed to a B12 - By system, with measurements from opposite starting prints.
A July 26, 1978 memorandum is enclosed as Exhibit 12.
!l
. TORQUING OF BOLTS 40.
I am not confident that bolts were properly torqued as i
required by specifications, because operaters installed them by " feel".
't i
Inspectors had no way to verify the~ initial starting point and snugness "1
before the bolts were turned.
Some bolts were so over-torqued that they broke.
I know that others were too loose, because they were removed so gy easily during subsequent rework.

' : PROBLEMS WITH THE SOIL
- 41. ~During the spring of 1978 management improperly installed three caissons during the Hosgri modifications for the turbine building in holes that had about 12 feet of mud and water in the bottom of the 65-85 foot caisson holes.
There was supposed to.be granite for bedrock._-The holes quickly f d-with mud and water, because they were in an underground stream.
This led to a Mexican standoff as the job was stopped for over two weeks.
In the en SG&E management C#ES decided to' just install the reinforcement bar cope and fill the holes with concrete.
The excuse was.t t the hole was too deep to clean safely.
The particular (.@.t30H$ s
.;&ss are located toward the center of the turbine building.
42.
Due to its. earth base of sandstone instead of granite as l
presumed, grouted cablee. designed to anchor turbine pedestals ended up pulling out.
The tension cables.are suppcsed to anchor the pedestals to bedrock, but sandstone was not a solid enough base to grip.
LACK OF MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT TO QUALITY 43 Another threat to quality was the demoralizing effect from management's. lack of commitment to quality on those of.us with pride in our work.
I tried to. stay cheerful and earned the nickname "Solzhenitzyn"1from my supervisors, as the bearded di'ssident who wrote
.so much.-
'I' earned the management's respect also.
On my last day oa the job QA manager Mike anderson told me that I was the best inspector they
'had.
But'I wasn't allowed.to do my-job.
Overall it hurt to work at Diablo Canyon, because I care about'my work and I was not permitted to do 'it. to my: saticfaction..In that environment an unknown number of deficiencies do not get reported, because inspectors get tired of the bumps from beating their head against the system.

N ll Q,$EfED AFFIDAVIT I am submitting this affiday f$$// A9:20 My name is and voluntarily, without any thmats, inducement or coerci$l' SE Mr. Richard Parks, who has. identified himself to me as a voluntN helping the Government Accountability Project to investigate problems at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. I am submitting this state- ~ ment to evidencs my concern over quality assurance violations, and the lack of a reliable Quality Assurance program at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. ~ I was employed by the H. P. Foley company at the plant from September 1980 to April'1981, as an electrical inspector, and aaain from January . as a cont. $c zuspearam e, 1983 to April 1983f During these periods g position was that of Quality Control (QC) Inspector assigned to inspect welding perfonned on seismic qualifted support structures in' areas such as the Fuel Handling Building. I_was certified to level I. As a level I inspector I was to operate in conjunction with a Level II inspector, because a' level I inspector was not qualified per AIiSI N 452.6 (the governing Quality Assurance require- [ ments for Inspectors) to accept or reject the welding perfor:ed by the crafts. t This above description identifies how the system was supposed to function in theory. However, in fact it did not function in this fashion. The only time a level II inspector ever second checked my inspections was ~ if I found something discrepant and was unsum of what procedure shoild be utilized to mmedy the situation. In these instances I would have to 0 -,,w,-. ---,-n+ ,-n,,.. .,..,----,,---~.--...~~--,-,,-,.n.-- ~-
-- --~' d go and find a level II inspector and get him to look at the problem. In other words, I was qualified to accept work on my own but not to reject it. I found this pmblem personally ' disturbing, because in g own opinion I did not feel I was sufficiently qualified because of lack of educacional and training requirements to perfone the duties of a level II inspector. This it even more disturbing when considering th't -:r niy first priod of employment as an Electrical Inspector. I was at the mercy of . the crafts if the work I was to inspect on any given assignment required knowledge in addition to that of welding. This is because I did not have nor ever have had in depth training in the electrical field. Numerous times I quizzed supervision as to why I was performing the inspections without 'a level. II inspector in attendance. The response to g inquiries was that "they were working on upgrading me to a. level II inspector." Finally I felt that my concerns were a dead issue and ceased quizzing supervision' about the situation. 9 The inspection reports that I' submitted on a daily basis required that a level II sign for the results. I do not know if aTT or any of my reports were countersigned by a level II inspector. If in fact they were countersigned, it would have been the resu1E of the level II signing because he,had to, not because he had ' personally verified the welding or my inspection of the welding. 4
- i I have read the response frse PG and E to the NRC regarding certifica-
)- tion of Foley inspectors (PG&E letter No: DCL-84-065). The letter states i;; y / s M .7
4 -3= in part "The R P Foley QA manual, then QCP-6 (1974) ' Indoctrination. and Training' pmcedure described how the HPF QC personnel, when hired, were qualified and assigned inspection duties based on the QA managers review of their education and experience. Based on this initial review, inspectors were then trained to the applicable procedures and other inspection requirements. ' Additionally, newly-hired in-spectors were assigned to experienced inspectors who' pro-vided them with the necessary on-the-job training. Documentation of this on-the-job training was not required but training records were kept. An inspector in training was not allowed to document work acceptance until he had recieved sufficient training and had shown by perfomance that he was ready to perform his assigned duties. These requirements and their implementation were continually reviewed by PG and E QA audits and PG and E general construction inspections." The PG and E letter also stated that level I inspectors were considered "in-training" and went not allowed to. perform acceptance inspections. t. I find this letter could not be further'from the truth. To -illustrate, when I was first hired, on' both occasions, I would spend the first several days reading the various procedures. The rest of the week p consisted of general orientation tours through the plant with a senior inspector. l^ ~ L j' By the'end of g first week I was tumed loose and assumed-ef-responsibilities as a working inspector accepting welds on g own, without a level II inspector in attendance. The above example illustrates what the training to perform my j duties consisted of. This practice was Standard Operating Procedure for i - the H P Foley QC department. At the end of our "on the job training'" j period we were not tested to deterwine our deficiencies, etc. To g 1 p -i ^

knowledge other inspectors did not receive any more extensive training '= than I myself received. Supervision used no particular method to detamine what, if anything we had learned. After reading the applicable pmcedures, we were handed a form to sign stating we had read the documents. W. e then were placed in the field with a' senior inspector for a couple of days. It was left up to the-in'dividual as to what was learned in the " picking of the brains " hands on training. We were then turned loose to fulfill the requirements of a QC Inspector on our own. For an inspector that had an intense background in welding, this practice may be considered to be an acceptable "on the job" training program. How-ever, as evidenced by my first employment not all the inspectors hired had the background to support the duties they were performing. However when an individual is expected to not only realize his own deficiencies, but correct them on his own, while still perfroming his job, something has to be sacrificed. In g judgment, this training program left me, and a large number of inspectors, unprepared for the responsibilities I was assigned.- { l To f'urther illustrate the inaccuracies of the'PG and E letter. I was expected to fill out g own Training Record documenting my " training" received in the " training program," which was largely 'non-existent. To the best of my recall, I can only remember one, possibly two group training h seminars. These group meetings were mostly futile, in that they covered ,y i very 11ttle relevant infomation to educate or assist me in the performance )2 .of my duties. 4 i s At one point in time during my second period of employment there a s [ ] ~~?,'.g'* ., }., 's e
/ were approx,imately 30 inspectors on night shift and at least that many on the day shift. Of these inspectors less than 50%, in my estimate, knew how to weld. I find this to be puzzling since we were inspecting welding. In fact, at one time I was inspecting the work of 14 welders on one shift. The lack of a reliable Quality control program can be further illustrated by my supervisions practice of " frowning" upon the use of redtags(QCholdtags),becausetheproductionschedule. Instead of_ using the' system established by QA/QC procedures. -management advocated that the QC inspectors perfonn " complimentary inspections". This process involved the inspection, identification of problems and resolution to any problems prior to the " official inspection" by the QC inspector. The problems posed by this process. were that,1) it required the inspector to violate the procedure (complimentary inspections weren't allowed); 2) there was not an adequate paperwork trail to clearly identify problems and their resolutions; and 3) this process totally L ~ bypassed quality assurance (QA) and Engineering imput to the resolutions in some cases. l. Anot!her instance of the inadequacy of the program became apparent when I discovered that an electrical raceway support in the cable spreading room (which contains Class I electrical power supplies) was supported 1 by a piece of double unistrut (a double U-shaped type of steel support l element.) that had been improperly. cut and installed. The problem in j the'insta11ation centered on the fact that the piece of unistrut had been cut in-between.the tack welds (spaced 4 inches apart throughout the

length of standard unistrut) such that the only thing supporting the weight of the raceway was the galvanized dip. I researched through the files and. I' [ j found that this problem had been identified previously about two ye.rs before. I felt that I should bring this to the attention of my supervisors. Their maction was to not worry about it, and that they were aware of it. a [ To my knowledge the condition was never remedied prior to my leavirig the != site.. This is a significant problem because this type of unistrut ti t '1ation could exist throughout the plant. In light of the many discrepancies that I witnessed while I was employed at the plant I found it appalling that the company never provided me with either the support that I needed to perfonn my duties', nor did 1. they provide me with adequate training. At times the procedures I was 'g 1 j expected to enforce were ambiguous, or vague at best. - I was never instrticted on their use, I was just expected to make myself as familiar l.' with them as I found myself comfortable with'. To me, my supervisors opinion on the procedures was one of tolerance of their existence, instead ) of being the Bible we prescribed to. They displayed this attitude by refusing to correct earlier identified problems when I " rediscovered them." This is also demonstrated by their preference for performing complimenta'ry inspections in violation of the procedures. Their attitude was more one of "do as we want" rath' r than by the procedure. In fact e I can not' recall ever being s'hown where Ncii-conformance Report fonns O were kept, let alone being instructed on how and when to use them. l 9-
- i During my second period of employment I was encountered with a
.f Li problem that spe'cifically existed in the Fuel Handling Butiding although j&j l &j 7 r s Lw h, } ,y
I I'm sure it was widespread throughout the plant. This problem hinged upon the lack of an up-to-date " heat number" log. This log is required to certify the structural properties 'of the steel being utilized as hangers, knee braces, beams, etc. was comparable, as a minimum, to the j properties specffed in the Engineering specifications. This is significant f because lack of this log could have lead to using improper material, which when welded according to the specifications called for on the . drawing, could affect the structural integrity of the weldments. I approached my supervisors on this problem several times. Their response was that; they would handle the problem and not to worry. Their efforts seemed haphazard, as what was finally issued was 'an incomplete, and not an updated " heat log." This: log was deficient in that there were heat numbers missing, log entries were incomplete and the log could not i a .~ -i readily be confirmed to be a document that was under tight contml. In g opinion, anyone could have made inproper entries in this log and issued it to the field. There was no controlability or accountability on the log we used. i I have not come fomard with this statement because I am a disgruntled employee. I left voluntarily in both instances, because I could not tolerate the operational philosophy that I was subjected to. j-The only reasons I even returned to work at the site was for monetary reasons,. but after a while even the good money was insufficient to keep 3- 'h me quiet about some of the practices. On several occasions I attempted l-to, talk to y supervisors on these problems. My disgust in not accomplish- ] ing anything in these discussions prompted me to quit. I believe in quality, not quantity. I feel that the shoddy approach taken to daily [ business that I witnessed at the plant should not go without scrutiny. That is why I have come fomard, in hopes that someone will perfonn an 9 2 h 1._ cfh 'h 2 - C^ 1 " y}dN

Mr. Thomas Devine, who has identified himself to sisFeEpigfialf. ~ director of the Government Accountability Project. I2am submitting this statement to evidence g concern about the effects of quality assurance violations during 1983 by the HP Foley Corporation that mt'E', occurred at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. I was employed at Diablo Canyon for a period of approximately four montns (January 1983 until April 1983),_ as a Civil Quality .- 1 Control Inspector. As a. Civil QC Inspector I routinely' inspected welding and performed non-destructive testing of welds performed on Seismic Category I structures in both the Fuel Handling Building and inside containment. Even thcugh-I hava over thirteen years welding experience and am gre,ctuima Sr2F W 4 a certified F h$ pipe welder I was only qualified to a Level I inspector. In accordance with the Quality Assurance /Centrol pmcedures that I read as part of my indoctrination, I was not allowed to accept work based on my inspection. The procedures required a Level II (senior) Inspector to aign for acceptanca. I. complained on num arous occasions about the fact that I was inspecting welds that I was not certified to inspect. The interta response was to have a LeveT II inspector cosign my work after I turned in the inspection although he . had not looked at the welds. This illustrates a widespread problem of falsified inspection records. The final response of supervision was to upgrade my certification to that of a Level II inspector. -g y+ g P g. b r-+%u-wev-ree. r

2-ekst of the weld inspectors did not have my backgrot.nd in the trade. 'In fact, there only were isolated instances where the inspector knew how to weld at all. That can compromise the quality of inspections; it can't all be taught by books and pictures. You have to be able to understand the process. From my own observations, up to 30% of the ~ weld inspectors weren't qualified. I base that conclusion on the poor quality of the work they accepted. This included welds where the CoAMEYEW slag hadn't beenVehipped off, making it impossible'to have actually visually checked the weld quality. In other cases they could not translate the blueprints. In still other instances the unqualified inspectors erroneously rejected acceptable work, and on the basis of g unexplained vague tems such as " bad weld profile." This created a backlash from the production department, On my shift, there were only five weld inspectors with Level Ih stamps. In my own case at least, however, that was bogus because they didn't nave any paperwork. -I-know, because_ I would have been involved with filling it out. Wherr I first hired in with HP Foley, the Manager, V. Tennyson, had se spend die first 5- @--- - t,: reading the relevant procedures, W s I was then. placed in the weld test booth. A responsibilities were. to n 'l certify welders by perfoming various welding procedurer in various positions and fit ups.- [i I took my duties seriously, even thoogh by procedure I wasn't . certified to certify other ~ welders. On the average I " looked-out" - or flunked befort the exam even reached the stage of a destructive _f r ( g - b<
I l I 1 test - over fifty percent of the welders attempting to qualify, on at l 1 east one occasion. The flaws in their work were obvious and severe. They included excessive peeving, which involves beating up the. weld trying to get the o'ff; massive undercuts and failure to follow the steps of tha welding procedure they supposedly were being tested In soma cases. I' " looked-out" welders because they took the on. plates out of position to get a better angle for the weld.. I Even the welders who passed did not have unique stamps required to identify and trace their work, as required by the American Welding Society ("!S) code. A welder cannot receive electrodes to do the ,. 3 work. wit. tout his personal stamp. Instead, managemant instructed them l to borreu one from the fabrication shop. ~ E personally didn't tolerate this practica and wouldn't Tat them go ints the field or accept work i until they obtained their.own stamp. But the abuse went on all the time. When I' told management that welders wanted to weld without stmps, the r1tsponse was, "we don't have any." The procedura prevented the welders from taking the rsqualification . test untiT th' y had been adequateTy trained in the welding process. e However, management mutinely allowed them to take the test daily until othE ~, they passed. In some instance /. I fTunked the samt individual ffva times l running. I. To me this practica constituted nothing more than on-the-job train-l7 ,ing in the weld test booth under ideal conditions.

4-to: reassign me. I couldn't handle compromising my personal belters for the benef,it of supplying welders that I felt were not qualified. I believed a reassignment to the field would no longer require me to compromise what I believed in. I was wrong. Even.though ther QC Inspectors were supposed to participate in a continuing training program, I can only recall one instance where the inspectors were takan out of the field for a training seminar. That meeting was a fiasco, which suggests to me that personnel still may be reading the blueprints backwards. Round the end of January 1983 all ' Foley Inspectors attended a meeting to discuss the " interpretation of . the Fuel Handling Building blueprints" This meeting was to clear.up .1 the confusion over.whether they were to be viewed from the "inside looking out" or the "outsida looking in." Nothing was resolved. In fact management conducting tha meeting.couldn't agree orr.how to view the blueprints. The inspectors were finally ordered back to work while the managers resolved the issue. I presume the ccn'usien c:ntinued in the field, since training was not reconvened to resolve the question. 4 Another practice that greatly disturbed me was lack of' material j traceability, Before a piece of metal was cut from the steel plate in { the Turtine Butiding Fab shop, the original hea[ number from the steel plate should'have been stamped onto the piece cut from it. This co #Eer is important Without thfi number on the material, the QC inspectors Y could not determine whether or not the steel had the metallurgical 'j properties for the application on which it was used. Just one aspect .1 of the. significance is that welding by an improperly chosen prucess q m T c. x f ? __ 1,' l
.s p -5 could result in degrading the strength of the steel. In practice, however, traceability was lost after the material was received. The-heat numbers were not consistently transferred. Aa a result, there were heat numbers on the material without supporting documentation to verify accuracy. In the field traceability was further lost, due _to modifications on fTatbar structural steel. Traceability was lost for the steel in the process. In the fuel handling building, heat numbers were even swapped. This occurred for knee braces on columns providing seismic support to hold up the walls. In fact, in that case the traceability records are backwards. The south side heat numbers apply .- 1 to their counterparts on the north wall. Even though I and others identified this. problem ^: ..... no satisfactory solution was ever arrived at' Mr. Tennyson's efforts appeared half-hearted in that the "up to date" heat log we were supplied with had no controi measures g v l _ assigned to it. It would have been a simple task for anyone to alter i this log. 7 Mr. Taanyson'also knew that some' of the steel being used - fJrusi.S i _3 on the plant was foreign stee17 -id pr, 'becausa a felicw worker shcwed P' ma proof of this practica. Tne use of foreign steel would have violated l a company agreement to not use any in the facility. y. I g' N Arount March 1983, I was assigned to inspect the addition of I-beams [ and clips to one of the Reactor CooTant Pumps. These additions were i ? a; }.s necessary to provide seismic support for the pump. While I was inspect-T _. ing the additions I noticed a stainless steel. T-section of pipe, under
- _ ?.S.sh
- yj the Reactor Coolant pump on the 125 foot elevation, that had a 4 inch yq
< S~ Jnt linear undercut. Per the pmcedures in use at'the time, there could.be u ! $7 C f] ipji' ed-( ,w .+ - u s
..,.. ~ A. no undercut on that piping. I brought this to the attention of my supervisor innediately. His response was " mind your own business.... it's Pullman's responsibility." This didn't wash with me, so I infomed a PG&E employee whose responsibility was to document problems. p, W PG&E perfomed some Ultra-Sonic Testing of the pipe and found the wall 7 5 thickness to be. insufficient in the arcar of the weld in question. 4 However they decided not to fix it, perhaps because the weld was in-i accessible-from the outsih. When I left in April 1983 the. weld had never been repaired. Prior to my leaving Diablo Canyon I discovered that the "Gui%d-9evel Test Machine". did not satisfy AWS requirements with respect to - 7 operating tolerances between " shoe and dia" in the hydraulic jack. hha rollers were also extremely sloppy. To some this may not seem ~ t significant; However, if this machine is not set-up properly it could artificially qualify " bad" weld test coupons. This machine was apparently worn out. I identified this to my supervisors and was told f to " quit being picky." h.d lg The final insult to injury occurred durin's e exposure to the " Quick Fix* program. After I would inspect a hanger, strut, or other j-item I would explain to a " Quick Fix Engineer" what I felt needed to 1 be done.. UsusalTy within half an hour he would be back with the requisite paperwork for the " quick-fix". Engineers approved such significant modifications as the addition of T bars and changes that effectively redesigned the wall plates. The expediency in which this papenvork ap-peered assured me that it.could not have been reviewed by QA or had any 7-serious engineering analysis. '3. l e
._ Also, the professional codes that represent the legal basis for our conclusions frequently wre not available. I attempted to research them, but routinely these documents were " lost" when I looked for them In some cases I could not even find up-to-data copies of the. " quality control procedures." When quizzed about their locations, my supervisors would reply that they were around somewhere and would promise to locate them for me. In the interim I was instructed ta go id Md9 cAmU back to work.VThey never found the documents for me. It was obvious to me they wanted me to know just enough to do y job and not enough to do it welt. .-1 ~ "r~ ';:-d ; I h _ MrNJ finally '" - " resigMc.in . April 1983.

Dear Chairman Palladino and Members of the Commission:
The ' San Luis Obispo, Califo$nia Mothers for Peace are deeply concerned over recent developments involving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the i Diablo' Canyon nuclerar power plant. The Mothers fear that the Comriission will-discard the terms of the 1981 order l which has delayed operations for over two years, and will l surrender the normal requirements of the Atomic Energy Act ~ by-permitting a facility to go critical in a iuality t 'lndeterm'inate state. The Mothers'for Peace urge you'to honor L l existing leg,al requirements for Diablo Canyon. The basis for their concerns are summarized below: ~ I. SACRIFICING THE TERMS OF THE COMMISSION'S 1981 ORDER - --- -- The Commission's 1981 Order required " satisfactory completion" of the following requirements, among others, l before Diablo Canyon begins operations: " performance of a suitable number of sample calculations related to each con-1 d 'h 6V' y f fM Ifhn ' h a y {)b2 H;y> justa w u t
4 Nuc1 Gar Rsgulatory Commission March 13, 1984 Page 2 tract to verify the adequacy of accuracy of the design process for affected safety-related structures, systems and components." Based on staff reports from a January 31, 1984 .public ceeting in San Francisco, PG&E has failed to meet that test. Management in the' seismic design review replaced sophisticated calculations that rejected pipe supports, with - simplified analyses that accepted the same suspect / work. Different versions. existed for the same calculations log, which theoretically represented the record of work done in the seismic review.- Similarly, calculations were destroyed - when they were inconsistent with predetermined results. The situation became so bad that o,n January 31 the staff directed ~ PG&E's lawyer to prepara a memorandum instructing all per-sonnel on-site not to destroy documents. 3 . The result was (e).xtensive errors that had been - identified in both preliminary and final support calcu-l 1ations," according to the staff. To illustrate, the staff only found three out of 12 design packages that I had been successfully reviewed. The.other nine all had some deficiency or error. - A 75% error rate is an unacceptable - basis to run the: facility, consistent with public health and [ safety requirements.

'Nucloar Rsgulatory Commission March 1.3,.1984 ~~ Page 4 covered by subsequent allegations. Counsel also has sought
- unsuccessfully to. schedule. followup interviews for allegers to revi'ew and rebut PG&E's responses.
Unfortuately, a ~ licensing vote is still scheduled for b) arch 26. The ' Commission will be. ignorant of relevant information for the. vote, unless it waits for the staff to catch up with .these-issues. The whistleblower allegations disclos.ed by the Mothers have been serious and documented, eith'er by sworn affidavits or by documentary evidence. They must be con-sidered for the taff to make accurate conclusions about the quality assurance program'at.the plant. To illustrate, the staff lost considerable cred-
- ibility with the labor force when it published IE Report 83-37.
This February 29 report found that a 1977 Nuclear Service Corporation (NSC) audit condemning quality assurance I violations at Diablo Canyon largely was in error.
- Further, the report concluded that the relevant contractor,. Pullmin Power Products, has corrected any violations that were I
' validly reported by NSC. Unfortunately, the staff exhibited tunnel vision in preparing its findings. While-it talked extensively with Pullman management representatives who rebutted the NSC findings, there is no reference to interviews with the L NSC personnel who issued the findings in the first place. . ~. - -. ......... ~ ~. -....... _ _.. _... _... _... _ _... _,... _ - _ _. _ -.... _ _.. _ _ _ _, _ _ _, _
Nuc1 Gar R3gulstory Commission March 13, 1984 Page 5 The report accepted at face value Pullman's " reforms" of i creatinc corrective procedures and concluded that problems were " resolved".. Unfortunately, since early January Pullman whistleblowers have been explaining to the NRC staff that l the procedures were not implemented. Pullman's former internal auditor described in detail why he resigned his L position in frustration after over two years of unsuccessful efforts to transform Pullman QA paper commitments into reality. It is inexcusable that the staff ignored this information and a barrage of similar a11egations from eyewitnesses, and gave Pullmac a clean bill of health. Employees are beginning to ask counsel "what difference it makes to dalk with the NRC." The Mothers hope that the staff will speak ~ with these whistleblowers, in order to restore accuracy to the record. Analyses currently are being prepared to demonstrate that the Pullman corrective action positions were based on falsified documents and false statements. 'III. DEFINING OUT THE MOTHERS FOR PEACE PETITION.FROM THE LICENSING DECISION i Gn' January 31, 1984 the Mothers for Peace petitioned the Commission to. defer any low power operating. license decision until investigation and corrective action are completed for 170 whistleblower allegations. On March 2
- the Mothers and seven national organizations supplemented
e'..,. Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 13, 1984 Page 6 the petition with 131 new allegations. To date, the Commiss' ion has ordered PG&E to respond to the first 170 t allegations by March 29, three days after the Commission is scheduled to vote. There has been no followup for the second set of allegations. In affect,the Commission will not even require PG&E to answer the allegations before it votes on a license. This schedule would make a oockery of the public petition process of the Atomic Energy Act. IV* IGNORING THE ORGANIZATIONAL CAUSES OF THE QUALITY ASSURANCE BREAKDOWN After a.four month delay, the Office of Inves-tigations has just begun to pursue the all'egations on the organizational causes for the QA breakdown -- records falsification and destruction, and retaliation against QA/QC personnel who tried to enforce legal requirements. During this, delay the Department of Labor has nearly completed four reprisal investigations backing the employees p in all findings to date. As currently scheduled, however, l the Commission will vote to let the plant go cr1tcal without knowing whether PG&E has the organizational character and ^ competence 'to run a nuclear facility. This also would ignore licensing requirements from the Commission's own regulations and precedents.

Counsel have continued to work closely with the labor force. During the last week we have obtained over 100 new allegations, many of which demonstrate false statements in PG&E's recent denials of,any significant safety hazards. The lab'or force has demonstrated that PG&E's 1983 positions and reassurances were not reliable.

~ - My name is Isa Yin. I am presently working in Region III, Division of Engineering as a Senior Mechanical' Engineer. Relative to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCNPP) team in'vestigation effort, I was assigned the responsibility of following up on some of the allegations made by Mr. Charles. Stokes. The specific investigation areas were. restricted -to the site small bore (S/B) piping suspension system design control. However, due to hardware deficiencies observed during plant walkdown, the licensee design control measures for. large bore (L/B) piping system had also been included as a part of the overview inspection and evaluation. ~ As a result of the investigation and inspection findings, it is my professional opinion that the Unit 1 reactor should not'be permitted to go critical at this time. ~ ~ The reas'ons for such determination are as follow: 1.' Almost'all of the Stokes allegations assigne6 to me for followup had been substantiated. Based on Lthe many assessLd violations against the 10CFR50 Appendix'-B criteria resulting from followup on these allegations and the independent overview inspections, it was concluded that there had been apparent QA program breakdown in the areas of S/B and L/B piping design control. s a
s .w -. _2-1. ~ 2.. Piping systems cannot be subjeeted to true fu' nction-ability tests until after severe transient conditions, such as an earthquake, had, occurred. The ensurance of system operability' relies _ principally on analytical methods. In spite of this dependence on theory and analysis, th'e'1ack of licensee L/B and S/B piping system design control.that'had resulted in an alarmingly large number of calculation errors and deficiencies that 'had slipped throug'h various review and checking g.+ stages, is indicative of the failure of the Corrective " Action Program conducted by the Diablo Canyon Project (DCP) group-in the past two years. .== ' 3. . Issues raise,d in responding to the staff's initial concerns were. discussed 'during a' meeting held with DCP ' personnel at NRC-NRR office on December 15, 1983. Discussions included onsite design personnel training, 5 document control, audits, design verification, thermal loading release within the rigid restraint gaps, ~ At the time and snubbey/ rigid restraint interaction. f of the meeting, none of the issues was considered to be a problem by DCP. However, during followup insp ec tions, all the above items had resulted in staff' assessment of violation items. The event
A e reflected DCP's lack of concern for establishment and implementation of a sound design control QA program. 4. Hardware problems involving snubber and rigid restraint interaction that could make the snubber inoperable under design conditions were identified in La Salle Unit 1 just before the NRC operation license hearing, and had resulted in licensee filing of a 10CFR50.55(e) report, and removal and replacement of hundreds of large and small size mechanical snubbers. The DCP's position in regarding ( the same situationsidentified at D'CHPP to be not ( a problem requires in-depth review and. evaluation by the staff. 5. At the present, with fuel loaded in the Unit 1 reactor, the access control including complicated security system, and the coor air quality resulted from system hot functional testings, makes inspection inside the containment difficult and intolerable. .ex p e cTat;.n With-the c:meetion that there"will be: (a) sub-stantial amount of staff and licensee reinspection activities, and (b) some system hardware modification and re-work, to allow reactor. low power testing before resolving the existing problems could dis-courage additional inspection effort and could hinder any required corrective actions. e fk t}}
