OFFICIAL RECORD
NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE WITHOUT APPROVAL OF FIELD OFFICE DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS, REGION II OFFICIAL USE ONLY - OI INVESTIGATION INFORMATION SYNOPSIS OF OI Case NO. 2-2009-020 This investigation was initiated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Office of Investigations (OI), Region II (RII), on March 12, 2009, to determine if a former Contracted Senior Health Physics (HP) Technician, at Surry Nuclear Power Station (Surry), was discriminated against as a result of raising safety concerns. Specifically, the former Contracted Senior HP Technician asserted that in the September 2000 time frame, during a Surry Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 outage, a reactor vessel head was bounced against a reactor containment wall, resulting in approximately 30 individuals becoming contaminated. The former Senior Contracted HP Technician informed his supervision that he believed that this incident (the contaminations) should have been documented in the reportable personnel contamination log vs. the non-reportable personnel contamination log that Surry had utilized.
Based upon the evidence developed during the course of this investigation, OI did not substantiate the allegation that the former Contracted Senior HP Technician was discriminated against for raising safety concerns.
