UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS MEMORANDUM TO: The File (Case No. 1-2003-051F)

FROM: Special Agent E. Neff Office of Investigations

SUBJECT:

ECP and Gallup Surveys Conducted by PSEG Nuclear On October 14, 2003, the vy'i t with PSEG Nuclear Counsel Jeff ,AN, Mana er, Nuclear Communications anOne purpose of the meeting was to obtain' in ormation regarding the annual Gallup surveys! egarding broad overall workplace issues as well as the surveys conducted byW-that tracked opinions on the environment, management, and the Employee Concerns and Corrective Action Programs (ECP/CAP).

'eported that the Gallu s,. e as been conducted three times beginning in 2000. It was initiated by forme- but he is not sure why. He believes it was completed toward the en-of 2000 and 200 and again in March 2003. They skipped 2002 due to finances. The survey was conducted telephonically by individuals using their supervisors' specially assigned identification code. It was conducted anonymously. For a supervisor to be assigned a code, he/she had to have at least ten people'in their group. Twelve statements were made and each had responses rating an individual's agreement ranging from 1 to 5, strongly agree to strongly disagree. Copies of the .questions and responses to each survey will be provided to the NRC for review. The Gallup results are broken down under the total organization on site to the vice-presidents, mariagers and supervisors (with more than 10 employees) to track the job satisfaction issues. There were no indications that an'yone deliberatel - ave the wrong information to skew the survey and question its accuracy. As an example :"ABa aid they looked at whether too man.yapeo le replied for one manager, but did not find problems there. -In 2003' i .-- ade the decision to change the survey instrument they use to make it relate more to'the nuclear indlustry as opposed to the manufacturing industry, the comparison used by Gallup. believes a new survey pro*osal is be g considered from Systems Solutions and expects it will be a paper survey*

ýrecalled that another survey was conducted prior to 2000, but he could not identify the year. He added that the survey was entirely too long and people hated it.

. *- ,eported that his office started surveying on an annual basis in early 1995.

Originally, the questions were true/false or yes/no. Since 1999, they use twenty-one statements

"i &-

and the survey measures four areas: culture/environment, ECP, management team and CAP. The m arnags forum for ECP helped to develop the survey statements. Undei_,. .,0.w,, .,a" Iin the fourth quarter of 2000, the survey was issued quarterly. It is issued to 25% of management, represented employees and Wackenhut, the only contractor involved, approximately 480 people each quarter. The list rotates as numbered alphabetically 1-4 and they average a 35% return on the surveys. The ratings are 1 through 5, strongly disagree to strongly agree. 40, Wdisplayed survey results that indicate the responses in each area of questioning along with various graphs and charts that show the responses in these areas since 1999. The questions have remained primarily unchanged since 1999. His overall chart also tracks the survey results from 1995. SCWE is assessed from five questions, 50% of it is derived from the question "the culture is such that I can raise concerns." One question from each of the categories comprise the balance of the assessment. Comments that are included on the surveys are coded against the category that he can sense the comment is about and go into a database. Any identification of the originator is scrubbed. Everything, all positive and all negative, that is commented on in the returned surveys is included in his survey comments. The management team receives the results. Original survey documents are shredded as he goes and he does not believe he has any complete package available.

He pointed out the downturn in the survey results for the fourth quarter of 2002 and attributed this to union issues during that time period; including the termination of an employeeK" indicated that he recognized they had work to do. Part of his new initiative to reach peope-across the board is to select particular individuals in the union and management, -whoare seen as doing a good job and are not reluctant to speak.up, to deliver positive messages to the workforce.

He is tying the message to a token gift related to an old study and 2500 stuffed monkey toys were purchased to reinforce the concept. He is enrolling the assistance of the initial selectees to pass it on exponentially.

On October 7, 2003, KEENAN offered to 01 the investigation conducted by the law firm of Winston and Strawn in mid-to-late March 2003 regarding Dr. HARVIN's allegations. On the above date, KEENAN provided for review the investigation file and Dr. IHAVIN-s personnel file; as much as was maintained bh -Human Resources, is still researching corporate records and there may be more to providce.Their attempts to have Dr. HARVIN provide additional information were unsuccessful. After review, the writer requested copies of Dr. HARVIN's application material as well as documentation dated in 2000 forward and a copy of the complete investigation *xndicated that three transcripts of interview were still out for etfile transtimns pertained to the intervie w t ewed.by.
