UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD., SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 August 31, 2015 Mr. Timothy S. Rausch RI-2014-A-0019 President and Chief Nuclear Officer Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC 769 Salem Blvd - NUCSB3 Berwick, PA 18603-0467

Subject:

NRC Office of Investigations Case No. 1-2014-017

Dear Mr. Rausch:

The NRC Office of Investigations (OI), Region I (RI), initiated an investigation on April 25, 2014, to determine whether a Concerned Individual (CI), who had been employed as an instructional technologist in the training department at Susquehanna Nuclear, LLCs (Susquehannas)

Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), was subjected to discrimination for raising safety concerns. Based upon documentary and testimonial evidence developed during the OI investigation, there was insufficient evidence developed for the NRC to substantiate that the CI was subjected to discrimination for raising safety concerns.

Please note that final NRC investigation documents, such as the OI report described above, may be made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) subject to redaction of information appropriate under the FOIA. Requests under the FOIA should be made in accordance with 10 CFR 9.23, Requests for Records, a copy of which is enclosed for your information.

Also, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

No response to this letter is required. Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mr. Fred Bower of my staff at (610) 337-5200.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Michael L. Scott, Director Division of Reactor Projects
