SUBJECT:
NRC OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS REPORT NO. 3-2001-034
Dear Mr. Warner:
As a result of a concern that a Nuclear Oversight inspector was discriminated against for filing a discrimination complaint with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department of Labor, the NRC recently conducted an investigation regarding this matter. Based upon the results of the investigation, we did not substantiate that the employment actions taken against the individual were the result of the complaints filed with the NRC and the DOL. A copy of the Office of Investigations report synopsis is enclosed. This concludes the NRC's investigation into this matter.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response, if any, will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact James Heller or Andrea Kock of the NRC Region III staff at telephone number (630) 829-9500.
Sincerely, i9 rof lbecDirector giofrReactor Safety Docket Nos. 50-266; 50-301 License Nos. DPR-24; DPR-27
