SUBJECT:

NRC OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS REPORT NO. 3-2001-039

Dear Mr. Skolds:

This letter refers to an investigation conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Office of Investigations (OI), to determine if Exelons Dresden Nuclear Power Plant discriminated against a Radiation Protection Technician (RPT) who alleged that he was included in the lay-off because of his involvement in the radiological safety and discrimination concerns previously provided to the NRC. Based on the evidence developed during the investigation, OI did not substantiate that discrimination occurred and this matter is considered closed. The synopsis from the OI report of investigation is enclosed.

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.

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/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
