SENSITIVE ALLEGATION INFORMATION Jim/Andrea I am forwarding to you an email regarding a phone call Wayne Hodges received from an individual who is also featured in a referral package I just received from you today (RIII-2002-A-0005). Since it appears that this refers to the case Rill is handling, we are forwarding this email to you so that Ril can determine whether there is any new information and can determine appropriate action. If you determine that there is new information that should involve NMSS, please let me know.

With regard to R111-2002-A-0005 Concerns I and 8 that you are referring to us, there is no source document in the file. It appears that the concerns may have come from an 0! interview. Could you provide us with a copy of the transcript (or at least the relevant portions) as soon as possible?

The summary of the concerns In the acknowledgment letter is vague as to who the parties are. Concern 1 refers to a "vendor" and a "cask designer." Concern 8 refers to a "fabricator" and a "cask design organization." I am assuming that the "cask designer" in #1 and the "cask design organization" in #8 both refer to Holtec, and that the "vendor" In #1 and the "fabricator" in #8 both refer to U. S. Tool & Die.

Is that correct? Do #1 and #8 both Involve the same events? Is there more information in the file as to the specifics of the alleged events (e.g., what modifications, disposition of nonconformance conditions, etc), and when they took place?

Please give me a call if this is confusing.

Fwd: Oscar Shirani's allegation This gentleman called me yesterday. Although his firing by Commonwealth is apparently already under investigation, I got the impression that Region I was not following up on his "safety" issues. He requested a meeting to discuss his issues. I told him that until we had an opportunity to read his issues, a meeting would not be worthwhile. He had e-mail the attached info to Bill Brach but Bill is out for a week so I asked him to e-mail it to me. Some of this is Reactor related and some is SFPO related.
