- SENSITIVE ALLEGATION INFORMATION -
- PROTECT APPROPRIATELY -
I called the alleger this afternoon to get her input on whether we could speak about her issues with Dave Lochbaum, based on his recent contacts with NRC which indicated that she is also interfacing with him on her concerns. I told her that we would never tell him anything more than we tell her. She said that she had no problem with the NRC providing responses to Dave L. about her concerns. However, she asked that we keep any such interfaces confidential (i.e., she stated that Dave L. promised her that he wouldn't transmit any of the information she gives him about her interactions with the NRC to others, and she asked that we do the same with any information either she or he provides us about their interactions). I told her that to the best of our ability, we would do so.
She also made some comments about about her discussion with Hub here in Region I a couple of weeks ago (12/22/03):
IL She indicated t Hub spent some time discussing recent management changes at the site nd she was a bit concerned that the NRC may see that as some kind of panacea to their problems. She indicated that no matter how many changes are made in management at the site, the real production pressure has come from Newark, and those folks are not changing. I told her that I felt our our review was comprehensive, and that we would render decisions based on the totality of the review, and not simply on the fact that some site managers have been replaced..
- 2. She indicated that Hub told her that it is possible that we may have to wait for the conclusion of her civil suit in NJ before rendering decisions on this matter. This was of considerable concern to her, because she indicated that she is not going to settle with the company, and they are just entering discovery, which could take a year or two. I told her that I didn't know what Hub said to her about this subject but that that she may have misread it. I told her that while I could not provide her with a projected end date, and while I felt that we need to continue to approach this matter deliberately, I was fairly confident that it would not take us a year to provide feedback on what we are finding as a result of our review.
Additional comments during the phone call:

ýl Vwas taking on safety culture as much as he has taken on cost-cutting (there have been a number 0or-ecen layoffs), they would be much better off."
"The reason why they have never had a good safety culture is that no one in PSEG has ever demanded a strong safety culture."
