Title: Nuclear Regulatory Commission's inspection process: Hayward-Tyler Pump Company

Book ·
OSTI ID:5041897

A panel including Nunzio Palladino of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and members of the inspection and operations staff testified on the sworn affidavits filed by employees of the Hayward-Tyler Nuclear Pump Co., whose descriptions of shoddy workmanship, unacceptable working conditions, falsified paperwork, and the company's general disregard for manufacturing requirements prompted an inspection. NRC officials were asked to explain the lack of guidelines for plant inspections and to outline the corrective measures they will take. A panel of lawyers followed the NRC panel to describe their review of NRC inspection procedures and to support a move that would establish an independent investigative arm that would report to the NRC. An appendix with additional statements and supporting material submitted for the record follows the testimony. (DCK)
