STuke quality control
atisfies NCR official
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Construction
andards at the South Texas Nu-
ear Project are high despite al-
ged death threats and assaults
'ainst conscientious quality control
ispectors, a Nuclear Regulatory
ommission official insisted Thurs-
|py-
But Karl Seyfrit, director of NRC
egion IV in Arlington, Texas, said
uprise NRC inspections of South
exas Project work have been made
nee charges of a breakdown in
uality control began surfacing.
The project, underway in a
larsely settled area 30 miles from
ay City, Texas, will have two
, 100-megawatt Westinghouse reac
tors to provide electricity for Austin,
Houston and San Antonio.
A former quality control super
visor for Brown & Root, the firm
building the project, said in a CBS
television interview Thursday his
inspectors were pressured to ap
prove shoddy work.
Dan Swayze said tensions be
tween inspectors and construction
foremen passed the point of harass
ment and verbal abuse in July 1977
when a concerned inspector tried to
halt a concrete pouring. He said his
life was threatened and one inspec
tor was assaulted and hospitalized.
“All of the inspectors decided ob
viously they wanted us to do exactly
nothing but fill papers out,” he told
Sun Theatres
CBS. “We took a vote. We started
filling paper out and we did it for
five months.”
Swayze said the inspectors then
just played cards and signed what
ever inspection certificates the con
struction teams demanded.
Seyfrit told UPI he was not
alerted to the problem within
Brown & Root until last March
when a “phone call said one of the
construction people had punched
out one of the inspectors.”
NRC inspectors found no evi
dence company quality control
lapsed for a five-month period and
none of the nine Brown & Root em
ployees they interviewed supported
Swayze’s claims, he said.
Seyfrit said construction quality is
no worse than at the average nuclear
site.
