~ Docket A'os>>, 50-528, 50-~
and 50-530 This letter acknowledges receipt of the Petition of May 22, 1990, pursuant to Section 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and filed by you on behalf of Hrs. Linda E. Mitchell (Petitioner).
The Petitioner stated that she is employed by the Arizona Public Service Company
( licensee) as an associate electrical engineer at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (Palo Verde).
She further alleges that serious violations exist at Palo Verde in the systems for emergency lighting and fire protection uncovered by the NRC during a routine inspection, and that licensee personnel acted improperly to "water down" the inspection findings, suppress other serious violations, and discredit an NRC inspector.
In addition, the Petitioner alleges that NRC Region V retaliated against the NRC inspector in question and agreed to "water down" inspection report findings as a result of the efforts made by the licensee.
Petitioner claims that these actions will chill efforts by NRC inspectors and employees of NRC-licensed facilities to raise safety concerns.
Petitioner requests institution of a proceeding pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 to modify, suspend, or revoke the NRC licenses held by the licensee.
Allegations in the Petition concerning improprieties by NRC personnel have been referred to the Office of the Inspector General for its consideration.
Any inquiries regarding those allegations should be directed to the Office of the Inspector General.
The remaining allegations in the Petition have been referred to my office for the preparation of a response pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206.
As provided by Section 2.206, action will be taken with respect to specific issues raised in the Petition within a reasonable time.
I have enclosed a copy of the Notice that is being filed with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
S incerely, gz'igi~l Signel by Prant J. Miraglia Thomas E. Hurley, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
