Constellation Energy June 7, 2006 The Honorable Nils J. Diaz Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Stop 16 CI One White Flint North 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, Maryland 20852-273 8
Dear Chairman Diaz:
It recently has come to my attention that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") has extended employment offers to three key individuals at our Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. All three of those individuals are in our security force and carry out essential training functions. Moreover, the NRC also has hired several other individuals from Calvert Cliffs since the beginning of this year.
While I understand that the close proximity of Calvert Cliffs to NRC headquarters possibly makes NRC employment attractive to Calvert Cliffs personnel, it is nonetheless inappropriate for the NRC to recruit critical resources from one site in such a concentrated and direct manner. We value the movement of people around our industry, including movement from the private sector to government agencies, as an important contributor to developing and spreading industry experience. However, such movement needs to be accomplished judiciously and with some moderation in order to preclude the potential wveakening of any one facility's operations.
I respectfully suggest, and would greatly appreciate, that the agency review its recruiting practices in order to take appropriate steps to assess and preclude the potential weakening of any of the industry's operating nuclear facilities.
Sincerely, Mayo Shattuck III Chari n, President and Chief Executive Officer MAS lI1I:sgd cc:
The Honorable Gregory B. Jaczko, Commissioner, NRC The Honorable Peter B. Lyons, Commissioner, NRC The Honorable Edward MeGaffigan, Jr., Commissioner, NRC The Honorable Jeffrey S. Merrifield, Commissioner, NRC Mr. Luis Reyes, Executive Director for Operations, NRC
