Daniel Orr 4/30/04 9:01AM Re: Salem voice mail The Issues appear to refer to matters of Industrial safety rather than nuclear safety. By definition, purely industrial safety issues are not allegations. So, if he had come to us without contacting the licensee, we would have just told him that the issue was not under our purview, given him Information for contacting OSHA, and per Manual Chapter 1007, had the residents inform licensee management about the nature of the concerns (without providing the Identity of the Individual). Since the license already knows about the issue, you don't really need to pursue It further with PSEG. If you can figure out a way to contact the individual to inform him that this is an Industrial safety/OSHA issue and that we don't handle those, thats about all we can do. Another message on his cell phoen shoudl be fine. You could provide him with contact information for the local OSHA office If he wants it:
Marlton Area Office Mariton Executive Park, Building 2 701 Route 73 South, Suite 120 Marlton, New Jersey 08053 (856) 757-5181 (856) 757-5087 FAX I have assumed that he is referring to the need for respirators for painting due to a concern about inhaling paint fumes, rather than an concern about the Inhalation of radiological contamination. If I'm wrong, all bets are off. We would then have to put the issue in the allegation system, and just follow the process.

Our secretary received a voice mail this last weekend from an NPS contract person stating that he had been laid off on Saturday, 4124 and that he would like to speak to an NRC "agent." I attempted to reach the individual with the cell phone number he had left, but only reached his voice mail. He returned my call and left me a voice mail today or 4129. The gist of his message was that he had since gotten a hold of PSEG's ECP mangeLTom Lakeland had left his concerns with him. In his voice mail, the Cl suggested that I get a hold oftoml I would appreciate it and find out what's what." He added thatr)omriad more than enough details toollow through on the issues.
I spoke with/rom Lake'this afternoon to get a sense of the issues. I will meet with L9o.1tomorrow morning to review his notes.
-Ee issue started accord ohe concerned individual with a disagreement over respiratory protection for)
The Cl is j
He believed that on some occasions proper respiratory equipment was not being assigne At one point he addressed the issue with his NPS supervisor and It escalated to the point where the Cl told his supervisor to "Shut the f up and listen to me.' Not long after that Incident the Cl was laid off. According to the Cl it was labeled as a RIF and included 7 or 8 He believed he was being retaliated against for his respiratory concerns.
The Cl also provided some concerns toiTom Lake-.based on events that he had seen during the outage and an issue going back to Hope Creek constructr6n. PSEG is pursuing all technical Issues with outage management and with ISI on the Hope Creek Issue.
The salem issues mentioned Included some sandblast sand that had fallen on some pumps. The Hope Creek Issue had to do with some labeling inside the torus that may have interfered with proper preparation for the Inside coating or paint.
!Tom Lakelhas advised the site.NPS lead and the home office project manager that they need to Investigate a retaliation case.i forrintends to review their investigation.
My intentions are to meet withlTom Lakeoromorrow morning, already scheduled, to understand all the ClUs concerns. I will put in an allegation receipt after that meeting.

e: balern voice maii age Not sure on how to get back with the Cf. Please advise?. Do we want to state that we have this in our allegation file? Do we want to call and also send followup letter? Or if the Cl is completely satisfied with ECP do we even enter this into our allegation file? Thanks.
