Solicitation of Ideas for Doing an SCWE Assessment CAUTION - ALLEGATION INFORMATION - PLEASE TREAT SENSITIVELY
- Lisa, I just tried to call you but you weren't in. Then I realised I probably should be asking for input from all the Regions.
This is in regard to the Salem/Hope Creek SCWE allegation we spoke about a couple of weeks ago. We just completing the receipt of information from the alleger (so far, he/she has given us a couple of feet worth of documentation he/she feels will provide us with some insight into the state of the SCWE at Salem/HC). We have already held an interview with him/her at the Region I office in an effort to obtain additional detail.
We are at the point now where we need to decide how to accomplish an NRC assessment of SCWE. The alleger has emphatically indicated that a simple referral of the matter to the licensee would be w.less w
er his~he'sserTions about significant problems in WE can be corroborated. My recollection of what was done here related to MIIlstone is only of groups of NRC Region I inspection personnel that were sent to ask selected personnel about their willingness to raise safety concerns, and presentations provided to us by Millstone management after we had made requests of them to provide us with a status of the work environment at the site. I know that since Millstone, there have been several similar situations at other plants across the country (Watts Bar, South Texas, Zion, Davis-Besse). I would like to obtain some feedback from you and the other OACs as to how the NRC approached assessment of SCWE in those cases (e.g., inspections, solicitation of contract help, etc.?)
FYI, the alleger recently (Monday) filed a civil discrimination suit against the company. Many of the assertions regarding SCWE are referred to in the suit. As such, there is a likelihood thatthese assertions will shortly become a public issue. It is our desire to get some positive movement in our SCWE assessment effort before' that happens.
