Introduction:

Little Harbor Consultants, Inc. (LHC) is pleased to submit this proposal to Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECo) to perform the role of the Independent Oversight Team for Employee Concerns (IOTEC) for the Millstone Nuclear Power plants-as required by the NRC Order of October 24,1996.

LHC has assembled a highly experienced and qualified team to oversee the implementation of the Millstone Employee Concern Program as specified in the NRC ,

Order. The team has the breadth and depth of experience needed to fulfill the I requirements of the Order and all team members have met strict independence requirements regarding previous or current relationships with NNECo and the Millstone site. Team members have experience in auditing and evaluating various technical and organizational programs as well as experience in evaluating and implementing Employee Concerns Programs.

This proposal will detail the experience and qualifications of the team members, discuss the proposed structure for the IOTEC and address additional issues included in the NNECo statement of work document. While this proposal addresses the anticipated content of the oversight plan required by the NRC order,it should not be construed as the plan itself. The oversight plan will be developed, in accordance with the order, only after the NRC approves the NNECo nomination of the LHC team.

The commercial terms for this proposal have been provided in a separate letter to NNECo.

Team Members:

I We developed essential criteria to use in the evaluation of potential team members m i order to assemble the best possible team for this oversight project,. First, we outlined the l technical areas and management / organizational aspects requiring coverage during the project. Using these criteria we developed a list of candidates based on their management experience and technical expertise which would cover all aspects of the project needs. We then verified the independence of each candidate from any direct, previous involvement with NNECo or any subsidiary. The final selection of the proposed team was made with emphasis on three characteristics which we judged critical to the success of this assignment. First, each team member must possess sound and mature judgmental skills and have a reputation for the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct.

Second, each member should have experience in assessing organizational performance.

Third, it was essential that each member be willing to make a firm commitment to the project. The proposed team members meet all of the above selection criteria.

1

Following is a brief description of each member's experience relevant to the IOTEC project. Attachment A contains resumes for all team members.

l John W. Beck - Team Leader and Chief Spokesperson. Mr. Beck has panicipated in assessments of employee concems programs at three different utilities during the past three years. These assessments involved eight different sites and twelve reactors. One of these engagements extended to the broader issues associated with the nuclear safety culttt e at three different nuclear plant sites. While a Vice President with Texas Utilities he was Chairman of a third party, independent Senior Review Team which provided l policy direction for the Comanche Peak recovery effon. In that capacity he was also responsible for executive management of the Comanche Peak Response Team, a third party, independent organization of engineers and technical experts who implemented policies and programs issued by the Senior Review Team. He was Program Manager for a comprehensive Review of Nuclear Operations Performance at Unicom (previously i Commonwealth Edison). Mr. Beck has extensive experience in public speaking and has provided testimony before regulatory agencies.

John M. Griffin - Deputy Team Leader. Mr. Griffin currently serves on the Nuclear Safety Board for Comanche Peak advising senior management on a broad range ofissues involving nuclear safety, employee concems and nuclear operations. Mr. Griffin has led l or facilitated several independent assessments, diagnostic evaluations and performance l improvement programs for utilities, including those on the NRC " watch list". He has served as a mentor and advisor to senior management in preparing the utility for initial operation of a nuclear plant. He has held positions as Vice President, Nuclear Operations and Senior Vice President of Arkansas Power & Light Co. he has extensive experience in l public speaking and appearing in public forums.

Robert F. Englmeier. Mr. Englmeier is a Registered engineer and a Certified lead Auditor (ANSI N45.2.23). He has served as a Quality Assursnce Managing Consultant to the Group Vice President of Nuclear at the South Texas Nuclear Project. During that engagement Mr. Engimeier managed the Nuclear & Quality Comuns Pru gram and coordinated the STP Employee Concems Program (ECP). He was Chai: man of the Employee Concems Program Oversight Committee and provided senior management with a monthly report regarding the effectiveness of the ECP. This assignment was during a period when the ECP and the project was successfully recovering from a serious decline in performance.

Donald M. Ehat. Dr. Ehat has had many engagements designing and executing culture awareness surveys in both commercial and government settings. This experience, coupled with hands-on involvement in team building, assessing employee morale and human behavior observation will be of critical importance in the task of developing survey and interview instruments to provide insight into the Millstone culture and the effectiveness of the Employee Concems Program.

l l

c o Donald P. Irwin. Mr. Irwin is a Partner with Hunton & Williams and has over 25 years of experience in his law practice associated with all aspects of the nuclear industry.

l Recent years have seen a focus on enforcement issues involving NRC's NRR and O!

offices, with representations of both licensees and key employees.

Alan B. Cutter. Mr. Cutter's past technical, managerial and executive respons bilities, l his current membership on the Safety & Audit Committee for the Monticello and Prairie Island units and consultation with the Zion Station in support of safety evaluation reviews provide a solid basis for his contribution to this project.

Richard W. Dublel. Mr. Dubiel has technical and management experience in the fields of hea.lth physics, radiation protection and chemistry. He recently performed an assessment involving a significant element of disaffected employees at a nuclear utility.

His sensitivity and understanding of all the stakeholders interests contributed to the successful conclusion to that engagement.

Donald R. Ferguson. Dr. Ferguson has served as Project Manager for the resolution of j regulatory problems preventing the issuance of the operating license for Comanche Peak i and managed the review process for producing investigative reports to be used in the licensing hearings. He has experience in interacting with the NRC staff and management while serving as Program Director of the third party activities at Comanche Peak. l

\

Timothy J. Snyder. Mr. Snyder has participated in several performance evaluations at  !

nuclear plants. He has conducted assessments of engineering organization effectiveness j and has performed technical audits and independent technical reviews.

Paul J. Wood. Dr. Wood worked recently with the US Enrichment Corporation to  ;

design and manage the resubmittal of their application io the NRC for a certificate of operation. This task involved very complicated and unprecedented regulatory issues. Dr.

Wood also has a comprehensive understanding of probabilistic risk assessment i techniques used to evaluate the safety significance of technical issues.

Jeffrey J. D. Jeffries. Dr. Jeffries has performed assessment of nuclear safety cultures and has assisted utilities in development of self assessment programs. He has participated in several performance evaluations of nuclear organizations and has served on Nuclear Review Boards for several utilities. As Manager of Nuclear Oversight for Carolina Power

& Light Co. he was responsible for the oversiew of all nuclear activities at three nuclear stations.

Attachment B provides the proposed team structure for the IOTEC.

John Beck will serve as the Team Leader and Chief Spokesperson for the IOTEC. He will be assisted by John Griffm as Deputy Team Leader. They will provide the leadership and direction for the team, and have responsibility for the repolting of all findings, recommendations and concerns to the NRC and NNECo as required by the October 24, 1996 Order. They will also have responsibility for all other communications for IOTEC and will work with all interested members of the public with regard to IOTEC activities.

Bob Englmeier will have primary responsibility for the assessment and evaluation of NNECo's Employee Concern Program implementation. Mr. Engimeier will use the services of other members ofIOTEC as necessary to carry out his assignment.

Don Irwin will have primary responsibility for auditing and investigating ca.ses of alleged harassment and intimidation and/or discrimination. If necessary he will use the services of trained investigators to conduct independent investigations or evaluate investigations conducted by NNECo. Mr. Irwin will also utilize other members ofIOTEC as necessary to complete this activity.

The performance ofindependent technical reviews to ensure concerns are resolved in a correct and timely fashion, reviewing technicel reviews performed by NNECo, and

[

4

l evaluating the effectiveness of proposed solutions to technical concerns will be performed by either Al Cutter, Dick Dubiel, Don Ferguson, Tim Snyder or Paul Wood depending on the nature of the specific concern. If technical concerns are identified that are outside the expertise of the existing team members,IOTEC will obtain the services of an appropriate expert to address the concem. .

Dr. Jeffries will assist IOTEC in the performance of critical self assessment ofits activities. Team leaders and members will conduct an on-going review and evaluation of all IOTEC activities. Dr. Jeffries will independently critique IOTEC's conformance with its plan and procedures, and provide suggestions for improvements to the plan and/or how it is being implemented. The results of this critique will be presented in the periodic, public reports to the NRC and NNECo.

Independence:

Attachment C to this proposal contains the certified Statement ofIndependence for each member of the proposed IOTEC. No member of the team is a former employee of NNECo or currently has direct control or ownership of stock in Northeast Utilities. One member of the team, Paul Wood, provided PRA consulting services to Northeast Utilities Service company in 1985. Dr. Wood will not be involved with any oversight activities ,

l that pertain to this previous engagement.

While they do not constitute direct involvement of a team member with NNECo, there are two other circumstances that we want to identify. The firm which employs Richard Dubiel currently has another employee working at the Connecticut Yankee Nuclear Plant as an auditor. This individual reports to another person in Mr. Dubiel's company, and Mr.

Dubiel has no contact with nor responsibility for the individual's work, nor will he during the course of this engagement.

An employee in Mr. Griffin's company performed an evaluation of the Work Control Process at Millstone Unit I earlier this year. Mr. Griffin was not directly involved in this evaluation nor will he be involved in any technical evaluations related to work control during the course of this engagement. The previously involved employee will not be associated with any IOTEC activities.

We have proposed contract language to prohibit the pursuit of business at any NEU site by any member of the team or by any employee or officer of a team member's company for the duration of the project.

l Plan and Procedures:

Upon nomination by NNECo of the Little Harbor Consultants team to the NRC, LHC will begin the preparation of the detailed oversight plan and procedures for IOTEC.

Preparation of the oversight plan will include solicitation ofinput from members of the public known to be interested in the project. This plan will be completed and ready for submittal to the NRC within 30 days following acceptance of the Little Harbor Consultants team by the NRC.

i The plan will delineate the protocols to be used by the Team in communicating with the NRC, NNECo and other interested stakeholders. It will specify that a report be made to l

the NRC and NNECo on at least a quarterly basis. The report will address oversight activities, including any findings and recommendations. It is assumed that this report will be delivered in a public meeting at a location convenient to the Millstone site. There will be an opportunity for members of the public to participate in a question and answer session following the report.

The oversight plan will provide for an initial assessment of the NNECo comprehensive improvement plan which is required by the NRC order of October 24,1996. This will be one of the first major task activities undertaken, and will be followed by a continual monitoring of NNECo's implementation of the comprehensive improvement plan. The continual monitoring will include, at a minimum, the following tasks:

. Observation and monitoring of all NNECo activities relevant to the establishment and maintenance of a robust nuclear safety culture at the Millstone site - This task will include a series of structured inteniews with l employees and employee groups. There will also be surveys oflarger employee populations. These methods will be used to establish an initial baseline of employee attitudes and feelings about nuclear safety, their opinions as to the roles they and their management play with regard to nuclear safety at the Millstone site in particular, and what their specific responsibilities are with respect to nuclear safety. The inteniews will be evaluated and surveys designed to determine, among other characteristics, whether there are any discernible differences in employee attitudes among the different units at the Millstone site. The employee's perception of how supportive their management is with respect to reporting concerns and assuring timely resolution of the concerns is of primary interest, as well as their perception of management's attitude and practices regarding intimidation, harassment or discrimination.

. Technical reviews ofissues arising from employee concerns - These reviews will be done three different ways. First, a representative sample of historical issues that have been closed by NNECo will be evaluated by the LHC team.

The evaluations will examine the closed NNECo investigations for their 6

o l

1 accuracy, completeness and particularly the adequacy of root cause I determinations and appropriateness of corrective actions for the identified root cause(s). The implementation of the corrective actions will also be evaluated i to determine whether they have been effective in achieving the desired end I result. Second, the team will do a fully independent technical evalua_ tion of some issues emanating from employee concerns, and a comparison will be l made with the results of NNECo evaluations of the same issues. Third, the l team will perform comprehensive audits of on-going NNECo evaluations.

l l

• The LHC team examination of the Millstone site NNECo Employee Concems Program and how it processes employee concems - This examination will consider all facets of the program's organization, processes and procedures with respect to timeliness and thoroughness ofinvestigation and resolution of concems, providing feedback to concemed employees, and maintenance of confidentiality of employees identity. For completeness this examination will compare current practices at Millstone with those previously used, as well as current comparisons with other industry employee concems programs which have an established and recognized reputation for effectiveness.

• Auditing and investigation of cases involving intimidation, harassment or discrimination - This will include selected historical reviews and any ongoing cases which may involve intimidation, harassment or discrimination.

The plan will include procedures which will address the following topics:

• Communications protocols with all the stakeholders e Addition of team members following NRC approval of the initial LHC team -

This procedure will specify the criteria to be satisfied prior to use of additional personnel in oversight activities and the NRC notification requirements should any additional expertise or personnel be needed.

• Concurrent reporting of oversight activities, findings, and recommendations to the NRC and NNECo e Acceptance by the LHC team of allegations from others and forwarding of the allegations to the NRC - This procedure will contain provisions to receive allegations of safety concems, encourage the alleger to bring the concem to the attention of NNECo, or in the case of reluctance to do so, to encourage the alleger to contact the NRC. In the event the alleger chooses not to report the safety concem to either NNECo or the NRC, the LHC team will forward the allegation directly to the NRC. Procedures will be in place to protect the identity of any such alleger and limit disclosure of the alleger's identity to those with a need to know. Such procedures will, however, require that the 7

identity of any alleger or any information related to the allegations be provided to the NRC. This requirement will be made clear to anyone who approaches any team member with potential concerns.

l Commitment:

LHC has a firm commitment from each member of the team to support this effort. Mr.

Beck and/or Mr. Griffin will provide full time leadership presence at the Millstone site for the duration of the oversight activities.

Community Outreach:

The LHC team intends to seek input and insight from members of the community known to be interested in issues related to this oversight activity. This will be done in the early phases of developing the detailed project plan and procedures. Continuing communication among the team leaders and interested members of the community will be encouraged.

Closure:

Each of the potential areas of oversight and investigation to be covered in this l engagement has both objective and subjective characteristics. In the case of objective I characteristics, such as a technical or engineering evaluation of a concern, the quality of work done by NNECo is a relatively straight-forward measurement. The same could be said of the mechanics associated with the Employee Concerns Program,in that certain elements have been shown at other sites to be consistently effective while others have not. Therefore, evaluating the ECP from a mechanistic, functional perspective should not require very much subjective judgment. On the other hand, the task of evaluating the state of the overall nuclear safety culture at the Millstone site has many subjective elements to be considered, and thus will likely require a repeated combination of structured inteniews and surveys in order to establish a baseline and trends. Previous work done by NNECo in this regard will be factored into our effort to the extent it is consistent and reliable.

The Little Harbor Consultants team will provide all the stakeholders with a balanced and fair opinion predicated on all the factors, subjective and objective. These factors will provide the basis for measuring the overall effectiveness of NNECo's implementation of their comprehensive plan for bettering their Employee Concerns Program and associated activities.

As NNECo implements their improvement program, the oversight activities parallel the NNECo effort, and the NRC performs its regulatory functions, a desired objective will be to reach a point of no substantive debate with any stakeholder about the effectiveness of the NNECo Employee Concerns Program. This should be a clear indication that the 8

i .

i l improvement program has achieved its overall goal, a vigorous and healthy nuclear safety

! culture at the Millstone site.

i Office and Equipment Requirements:

In order to support IOTEC activities the team will require office space, telephones (a separate line for an administrative person, and each desk in the two-man offices and the interview room, a total of six lines, all with outside call in and out capability) and standard office furniture suitable to the space allocated.

I The office space should be located inside the protected area at Millstone in order to allow i case ofinteraction between team members and employees. The office space should consist of two, two person enclosed offices, an open administrative space, an enclosed j- interview room and the privilege of scheduling the use of a conference room as needed.

< LHC will provide the con.puter equipment necessary to support the project, however

. NNECo will be asked to provide an HP 4 Plus (or higher capacity) laser pdnter and connections from the printer to access three desk top PC's, one in the administrative area j and one in each of the two-man offices. The computer equipment will be independent of

! any Millstone or NNECo netwerk. It is also requested that a separate, NNECo PC linked )

to the site LAN be provided in the administrative area.
