Kenneth Jenison notes/comments on the 0nterview-(1-09-04)
The following are my observations/questions of the
'terview 01-09-04.
Will raise concerns and has done so before?
YES (p. 101) "I feel as though I can definitely raise a concern" Raises concerns for others?
NO None Believes others raise concerns without hesitation?
YES None Knows of someone who has experienced retaliation for YES*
(p. 84 - 88) The Interviewee Indicated that "... after raising concerns?
being relatively vocal about the off-gas and bringing up
[the difficulty in] reading the CROD... at some point later... I believe that I was treated differently... I will term it [the treatment] as harassed..."
[The interviewed person continues to discuss an examination that he was required to take and the reaction of other operators.]... "most [other operators] are taken aback by... the fact that they gave me an NRC exam"
- (p. 98) However, the person DID NOT WANTTO LEVEL AN OFFICIAL ALLEGATION OF DISCRIMINATION... "too serious an accusation for a 'feel"
- 1 - PERCEIVED LACK OF FREEDOM TO RAISE SAFETY CONCERNS TO PSEG MANAGEMENT NONE
- 2 - PRODUCTION OVER SAFETY ISSUES (p. 8 - 32) Cited the Hope Creek off-gas event as a non-conservative decision and stated "... We had the off-gas flow being higher than the procedural guidance where the precaution limit stated, 'Do not operate the system greater than 75 SCFM'.i. the notification was written as a Level 1... and it has been downgraded to a Level 3... I remember the one thing, we changed it to 90... As soon as it goes above 90 [an actual plant condition]... they will change that [the allowable value]... to something greater than what we have currently" (p. 57-60) In reference to the interviewee's perception of the decision-making authority of the Control Room Supervisors (CRS), the interviewee stated that"[decisions to] take the unit offline that's not directly procedurally guided Is something that would come under extreme scrutiny... [by] management' 0
(p. 67 - 69) When asked what criticism the Interviewee expected for a crew's performance during a feedwater related transient, the Interviewee responded "... I had no idea.
