A representative of the GAP went to the NRC in Washington with evidence and testimony from welding inspectors and convinced the investigative branch to look into the allegations, Lowe said. The Palmetto Alliance claims there have been systematic deficiencies in the quality assurances at the Catawba plant sufficient to leave doubt whether the plant is constructed safely. The group believes the plant should be reinspected. ^ IN A related development, Lowe said the licensing board agreed N Wednesday in Rock Hill to take in camera testimony from former and current uuKe rower employees on safety related concerns at the station.
