Inttrview of Alleg r
Individual A was interviewed between the hours of 5:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
on March 21, 1978. Mr. William Hubacek was present during the intervicw.
In reference to his allegations concerned with Comanche Peak, Individual A explained that he had learned there was a whole file of written incident
--
j reports concerning the Comanche Peak plant. He stated that he went to the source of these filed complaints, allegations, and incident reports and
.
I examined all of them.
He stated they were involved with three things; J
physical security of the plant, personnel safety, and the theft of
.)
equipment from the plant.
He stated none of these items would have been
-
-
- !
!
of interest to the NRC in that they did not involve any incident of intimated sabotage or safety-related items, and that nothing reflected on the nuclear installation.
I In a general discussion as to his motivation in regard to making these allegations, Individual A stated that he wanted to "get" the persons who were stealing from the company and he wanted the NRC to pay particular attention to Brown & Root because it deserves NRC attention.
