NRC STAFFS APPLICATION FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A SUBPOENA INTRODUCTION Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.702(a) of the Commissions regulations, the Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Staff) requests that the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board), designated in the above-captioned proceedings1, issue a subpoena, attached hereto, requiring a certain individual, named below, to attend and give testimony at a deposition.

DISCUSSION The Staff requests the Board to issue a subpoena for David Geisen in order to ensure the Staffs ability to depose this individual on the date specified. Mr. Geisen is a former manager of Design Engineering at Davis-Besse, and his testimony is relevant to the issues raised by these enforcement actions. Mr. Geisen (1) was directly supervised by Mr. Moffitt; (2) took part with Mr. Moffitt in presentations to the NRC on October 3 and October 11, 2001, for which presentations Mr. Moffitt is the subject of an enforcement action claiming he deliberately submitted information material to the NRC that was known to be incomplete and inaccurate; (3) 1 The Staff recognizes that these proceedings have not been consolidated. However, for administrative convenience the Staff desires a subpoena covering both proceedings since Mr. Geisen has been identified as a person with information relevant to both proceedings.

concurred on Serial 2731, submitted September 4, 2001, for which submission Mr. Miller is the subject of an enforcement action claiming he deliberately submitted information material to the NRC that was known to be incomplete and inaccurate; and (4) concurred on Serial 2735, submitted October 17, 2001, for which submission Mr. Moffitt is the subject of an enforcement action claiming he deliberately submitted information material to the NRC that was known to be incomplete and inaccurate. Furthermore, Mr. Geisen was also identified as a person with relevant information on disputed issues by both Mr. Moffitt and Mr. Miller in their initial disclosures.

CONCLUSION For the above stated reasons, the Staff requests the Board to issue the attached subpoena to Mr. Geisen.

Respectfully submitted,

/RA by Michael A. Spencer/
