     Dear Mr. Gore:

          Subject: Allegations That Usable Tools and Equipment
                    Were Buried at the TVA Hartsville 1Ntuclear
                    Project (GAO/RCED-83-42)

          In a September 23, 1982, letter you requested that we review
     certain allegations that the Tennessee Valley Authority (VA) had
     been burying usable tools and equipment at its HartSville nuclear
     project.  Specifically, you asked that we provide our views on
          --whether TVA has addressed allegations that usable tools
            and equipment were buried at the Hartsville nuclear proj-
            ect and
          --if we believe inventory control and disposal problems
            exist.
         Our work shows that TVA adequately investigated the Hartsville
    allegations and found that usable material and equipment were not
    buried at the Hartsville nuclear project site. TVA's aud-t work
    did indicate, however, that several inventory control and disposal
    problems do exist. These problems were similar to the problems
    we identified in our March 1981 report to WVA.  i/

    OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY
         The objectives of our review were to evaluate the adequacy
    of TVA's investigation of the allegations and to determine from
    TVA's own study if inventory control and disposal problems exist.
    We met with tA officials in Knoxville, Tennessee, to discuss the
    allegations and determine what actions TVA has taken and will take
    to resolve the matter. We obtained and reviewed WVA's internal

    correspondence and documents on this matter including the agency's
    internal audit program, workpapers, and report.

       Inventory Controls at Power Sites, EMD-81-60, March 10, 1981.
