RECEIPT OF NEW ALLEGATION: RIII-02-A-0114 (KEWANUEE)

On July 3, 2002, DRP received concerns regarding individuals being unjustly accused of not reporting an FFD issue and installation of piping without a procedure. The Cl provided additional information to security, MEB, and EICS on July 3, 2002, July 15, 2002, and July 14, 2002. The information provided to EICS on July 15, 2002 is being reviewed by MEB and security.

Security's July 3, 2002 record of conversation with the Cl and MEB's July 16, 2002 memorandum outline the concerns to date, the regulatory bases, and provided recommended actions. I have reviewed this information and agree with your characterization of the concern and proposed actions.
