Martin September 1, 1993
Dear Mr. Martin:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty and Demand For Information (U.S. Department of Labor Case No. 92-ERA-37).
Attached are our responses along with pertinent exhibits to substantiate the facts set forth therein.
We remain convinced that fear of retaliation or discrimination by anyone who may raise a safety concern, either zeal or perceived, at Cook Nuclear Plant is not a problem now and has not been a problem in the past.
This letter is submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f) and, as such, an oath statement is attached.

ATTACHMENT TO AEP:NRC:1184D Page 1 Statements From page 3 of the August 5, 1993 USNRC to Indiana Michigan Power Company Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty and Demand for Information
".....[D]escribing those actions and any additional actions you have taken or plan to take to minimize any potential chilling effect arising from this incident. Included in that written response, you should describe: (1) the steps you have taken to ensure that your employees and site contractors, including but not limited to American Nuclear Resources, and the employees of your contractors, understand their responsibilities with respect to the right of individuals to raise safety concerns without fear of retaliation or discrimination, (2) the actions you have taken to assess the extent to which workers at the D. C. Cook Nuclear plant may fear retribution for raising safety concerns, and (3) the actions you have taken or plan to take to eliminate or minimize any such fears."
General Res onse Actions taken to minimize any potential chilling effect arising from this incident include informing employees of the incident, sensitizing them to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.7, and emphasizing existing management policy that encourages reporting of safety concerns.
These actions were accomplished through a series of letters from the Plant Manager. A letter was issued to all site personnel to inform them of the existence of the concern, identify the Department of Labor process as the appropriate process for resolving the concern, emphasize existing management policy, and review the reporting and escalation process. (Exhibit 1) A letter was issued to all plant management personnel to inform them of the concern and to direct them to meet with their employees to specifically ensure that they understand they can raise safety related concerns without fear of reprisals or job related discrimination. (Exhibit 2) A letter was issued to all contractor management to inform them of the existence of the concern and request that they meet with their employees to specifically ensure that they understand that they can raise safety related concerns without fear of reprisals or )ob related discrimination. (Exhibit 3) In addition to the letters, postings were placed throughout the plant to make this information readily available to all site personnel. (Exhibit 4)
The Special Provisions for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, which are included in all contracts, have been revised to add Section 16.0 which emphasizes the requirements of 10 CFR 50.7, specifically, Employee Protection. (Exhibit 5)
ATTACHMENT TO AEP:NRC:1184D Page 2 Statement 1 Res onse The policy of American Electric Power Company, Znc., has been and still is to ensure that all personnel engaged in activities affecting safety-related functions of structures, systems, and components in Cook Nuclear Plant, have the right to, and are encouraged to, raise safety concerns without fear of retaliation or discrimination.
The Statement of Policy for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Quality Assurance Program, which is issued by the Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of American Electric Power Company, Znc., states that any site personnel engaged in activities affecting safety-related functions who believes the Quality Assurance Program is not being complied with, or that a deficiency in quality exists, should notify his/her supervisor, the American Electric Power Service Corporation Director~ality Assurance, and/or the Plant Manager. If the notification does not in the employee's opinion receive prompt or appropriate attention, the employee should contact successively higher levels of management. An employee reporting such conditions shall not be discriminated against by companies of the American Electric Power System. Discrimination includes discharge or other actions relative to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment. (Exhibit 6)
Ample initial and recurring training concerning the processing of safety concerns are/were provided to all personnel. The process of our Quality Assurance Condition Reporting program, which outlines the requirement to escalate known or suspected safety concerns up through management and/or directly to the NRC, is explained on pages 6 and 7 of 8 of GE-C-2005 (Exhibit 7 - General Employee Training Lesson Plans). The NRC Form 3 is also thoroughly reviewed with all trainees as part of the orientation program. Page 11 of 11 of GE-C-5100-HO-1 also explains the workers'ights and responsibilities with regard to the Plant Managers Instruction (PMI) 7030 Condition Report process.
(Exhibit 8) Each employee, as part of initial training (and during annual requalification) also receives the radiation protection procedures as outlined in GE-C-1004, 1013 and 1016.
(Exhibits 9, 10, and 11) To assure that each employee understands the requirements of the specific PMZs, the employee is required to review the information with his/her supervisor prior to initialing the form signifying receipt and understanding of the training.
(Exhibit 12)
In addition, ANR management posted portions of the Michigan Whistleblowers Protection Act to reassure their personnel that their safety concerns would be addressed without discrimination or retaliation. (Exhibit 13)
ATTACHMENT TO AEP:NRC:1184D Page 3 Statement 2 Res onse Actions taken to assess the extent to which workers at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant may fear retribution for raising safety concerns were based on a review and evaluation of the normal reporting process to determine if a notable change in the normal cyclic and workload reporting had occurred since the event.
The review and evaluation were made of the number of condition reports generated before and after the two week employment period (in March, 1992) of the individual addressed in the Notice of Violation. The number of condition reports initiated per month between July, 1991, and April, 1993, were noted. The number of condition reports were listed in three categories: ANR initiated reports, contractor initiated reports, and total reports initiated by all individuals. The number of condition reports generated on a monthly basis for all three categories did not reveal any impact as a result of the cited event. The only noted difference was the expected impact of outage versus non-outage activities.
(Exhibit 14)
Statement 3 Res onse Ongoing programs that continuously encourage employees and contractors to identify safety concerns and other problems include the following.
As previously indicated, General Employee Training (GET) discusses worker rights and responsibilities, and NRC Form 3. GET requalification training will be emphasizing this area based on recent events.
Annual State of the Plant meetings promote feedback between Plant Manager and personnel, including contractors. The human performance evaluation system (HPES) provides a method for employee and contract personnel to communicate with site management. Indiana Michigan employee exit interviews provide open insights necessary to correct or stabilize any variances which may exist in our management or operations style.
These programs, along with management's commitment to ensure the rights of all site personnel, will eliminate or minimize any fear of retribution for raising safety concerns.
Additional Items Also from page 3 of the August 5, 1993, USNRC to Indiana Michigan Power Company Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty and Demand for Information:
" ~ ~ ~ [P]rovide the following information within 30 days of the date of this letter, in writing and under oath or affirmation:
ATTACHMENT TO AEP:NRC 1184D Page 4 (1) a written description of the duties and activities currently performed by the tool accountability supervisor and the site supervisor for American Nuclear Resources; and (2) your basis for concluding that the tool accountability supervisor, the contractor's site supervisor, and the managers of American Nuclear Resources fully understand their responsibilities under your NRC license and their obligation to fulfill NRC regulations and license requirements."
Item 1 Res onse The duties and activities performed by an ANR tool accountability supervisor, a temporary position activated only during open containment, are as follows.
"TOOL ACCOUNTABILITY SUPERVISOR Personnel in this category will have similar responsibilities as a QC Tool Accountant. In addition, will be responsible for supervising a crew of accountants. This individual will be held accountable for the crews'ctivities, including compliance with plant and company rules and procedures, resolving conflicts and the training of personnel.
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: Must have previous supervisory background. Previous tool accountant background is preferred."
The duties and activities currently performed by the ANR site superintendent are as follows.
"SITE SUPERINTENDENT Meet with client supervision to determine what skills are needed to applicably fill an open job requisition.
2 Interview potential candidates for open job requisitions, if

- 17. Represents Scope/ANR in various legal proceedings.
The site superintendent is held accountable to the client and Scope/ANR for the employees'ctions. This includes but is not limited to safety, work quality, dependability, and procedural compliances."
Item 2 Res onse The tool accountability supervisor involved is no longer employed by ANR. The tool accountability supervisor resigned from ANR on June 15, 1993, and was employed by Indiana Michigan Power Company at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant on June 16, 1993, in the Computer Security Standards Department as a measuring and test equipment specialist (non supervisory).
The ANR site superintendent remains in the employment of ANR at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant in the same position, site superintendent.
ATTACHMENT TO AEP:NRC:1184D Page 6 The basis for concluding that the former tool accountability supervisor, the contractor's site superintendent, and the managers of ANR fully understand their responsibilities under our NRC license and their obligation to fulfill NRC regulations and license requirements is as follows:
A The General Employee Training referred to in the above response applies to all employees, both upon initial employment and annual recurring/requalification training. Training is also used to ensure that all personnel (including contract personnel), who work at Cook Nuclear Plant, understand their responsibilities with respect to the right of individuals to raise safety concerns, and Cook Nuclear Plant management's expectation that individuals are to raise safety concerns without fear of retaliation or discrimination. As part of the General Employee Training program given to all employees (including contractors) upon their assignment at Cook Nuclear Plant, employees are instructed that they are to report to their supervisor anything that they think may be a problem, to write a condition report, and/or to report to successively higher levels of management.
Employees (including contractors) are also instructed that if problems are not adecpately resolved within the company, they should contact the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Employees are instructed concerning the content and provisions of NRC Form 3, "Notice to Employees", and that reporting will not jeopardize their job. Training records confirm that the complainant addressed in the Notice of Violation, the tool accountability supervisor, and the contractor's site superintendent received the above training. (Exhibit 15)
The policy, procedure, and training have been a routine part of the activities at Cook Nuclear Plant for years prior to the event alleged in the Notice of Violation. We believe the policy, procedure, and training for encouraging reporting of potential safety concerns are sound, with no need of change.
B. Plant management sent a letter and posted information (see Exhibits 1 and 4) relative to the event and stated in the information that individuals can raise safety related concerns without fear of reprisals or job related discrimination.
ATTACHMENT TO AEP:NRC:1184D Page 7 C Plant management issued a letter to all contractor management (see Exhibit 3) identifying the existence of the concern and requesting that contractor management meet with their employees to specifically ensure they understand they can raise safety related concerns without fear of reprisals or job related discrimination.
D. ANR management has responded to the issue. ANR sent a memo to all ANR supervisors identifying the existence of the concern, posted relevant information, and verbally reinforced that everyone is and will be continuously encouraged to report any safety concern to management at any time, and that reporting to a government agency rather than management may be done without fear of retaliation or of job related discrimination. (Exhibit 16)
E. Plant and corporate management verbally reviewed with ANR management our contractual agreement to ensure compliance with appropriate laws.
In conclusion, based on actions taken by plant management to sensitize employees and contractors'mployees to this issue, and ANR's response to a plant issued letter and the incident, it has been concluded that the former tool accountability supervisor, the contractor's site superintendent, and the managers of ANR fully understand their responsibilities under the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant's NRC license and their obligation to fulfill NRC regulations and license requirements.
u -- 5 /c-'Pp R 1NDIANA Oato Nay 3, 1993 Sub)oct Problem Reporting by Empl'oyees From A.A. Blind To All Site Personnel Employees of nuclear power plant licensees and employees of contractors of nuclear power plant licensees are protected from discrimination for engaging in activities that are protected by law. Information concerning these activities (NRC Form 3) is posted on the plant official bulletin boards locate" at the west side of the Security Control Center, at the turbine entrance to the Auxiliary Building, and at the RPAC entrance to the Auxiliary Building. Whenever questions come up concerning alleged discrimination against an employee, whether substantiated or not, there is a concern about whether or not these questions might inhibit other employees from raising safety related concerns.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that an employee has raised a concern about discrimination for engaging in protected activities. This concern is presently being handled through administrative proceedings in the Department of Labor, which is the appropriate process for addressing and evaluating such concerns. Details of this concern are not included in this letter because the proceeding has not yet been concluded. However, I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that the existence of this case should not be a concern to any employee who wishes to bring safety related concerns to the attention of management or to the attention of the NRC. Zt is corporate policy, and therefore a requirement, for all personnel to encourage the reporting of safety related concerns and other problems. At the Cook Nuclear Plant this is done through the PMI-7030 Condition Report process, through direct reporting to
Problem Rep ing by Employees May 3, 1993 Page 2 management, or to the NRC. Normally, the reporting of safety related concerns or problems should be accomplished through the PMI-7030 Condition Report process. Xf the concern or problem is not appropriately addressed, then reporting directly to successive levels of management and ultimately directly to the NRC might be appropriate. I would also like to point out that any employee may go directly to management or the NRC at any time.
In summary, I would like to emphasize the importance of continuing our excellent working relationships here at Cook Nuclear Plant, which includes the reporting of safety related concerns and other problems without fear of discrimination.

fl-fNDIAMA M)CH'AN PNVER oa~o May 3, 1993 subj~ Problem Reporting by Employees From A.A. Blind To All Managers Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Section 50.7 prohibits discrimination by licensees of nuclear power plants against employees (including Contractor employees)
.for engaging in certain protected activities. Section 50.7 goes on to list activities that are included under this protection, but states that protected activities are not limited to this list.
The purpose of this letter- is two fold. First, I want to advise and make you aware of an ongoing administrative proceeding which concerns a potential violation of 10 CFR 50.7 and, secondly, I want to ensure that we, as Plant Management, are continuing to take appropriate actions necessary to promote a positive work environment in which all employees at Cook Nuclear Plant feel comfortable with raising safety related concerns.
As you might know, a Contractor employee has filed an administrative claim with the Department of Labor (DOL) against his employer. The claim alleges that the employee was discriminated against and not recalled for work as a result of engaging in an activity protected under 10 CFR 50-7 ~ A DOL Administrative Law Judge has issued a decision in favor of the employee. The Contractor is presently appealing this decision. Details of this proceeding will not be addressed in this memo because the administrative proceeding has not yet been concluded. However, notwithstanding the ongoing proceeding, we need to take this opportunity to ensure that our employees and contractors understand that they are encouraged to come forward whenever they have a safety related concern.
Problem Report ng by Employees May 3, 1993 Page 2 I am directing all managers to meet with their employees and communicate Cook Nuclear Plant's commitment to safety and our adherence to the requirements of 10 CFR 59.7. More specifically you need to ensure that our employees understand that they can raise safety related concerns and/or contact the NRC without fear of reprisals or job related discrimination. I will instruct all site Contractors to take similar actions with respect to their employees who are engaged in activities at Cook Nuclear Plant.
In support ef the above activity I will be sending a Plant Manager memo to each employee acknowledging the ongoing DOL proceeding, but emphasizing our commitment to safety and our adherence to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.7. If you have any questions concerning this memo or its directions you are to contact me directly.

August 11, 1993 The NRC has proposed a $ 25,000 fine for Indiana Michigan Power based on discrimination by a contractor against a former employee of the contractor at the Cook Plant. The pexson charged that he was discharged in 1992 fox'aising questions about hia zadiation ex osure and expos for requesting a copy of his exposure records.
The fine, based on a decision by a United States Department of Labor Administrative Law Judge, does not have to be paid until 30 days after the decision becomes final. Xt .is stol being reviewed by the Secretary of Labor.
The individual was being released at the end of a work assignment and was proceeding with his termination whole body count when he became engaged in a heated discussion c'oncerning informat:ion being
.provided him regarding his radiation exposure. Based partially. on this behavior, the contractor decided Not toirecall this person the
'ext, time this skill was needed at the Cook Plant. There was no retaliation oz discrimination because he.questioned his exposure or contacted the NRC.
The Department of Labor Law Judge ruled that this individual's emotional reactions to the perceived delay, in receivi'ag information regarding his radiation exposure was understandable and should not have been used in the decision not to .rehire, as.. the'ight to question and receive information regarding radiation exposure is a protected activity.
Indiana Michigan Power disagrees with this finding, .Our policy and procedures remain that we encourage. the reporting of .potential safety concerns. Everyone is encouraged to -report. safety:.concerns to management at any time. Xf they feel .that'. it"is necessary to report it to a govexnment agency, they may'do so',without fear of retaliation or of placing their job in jeopardy.

SL-AS B. Air samples are taken in areas where airborne radioactive material is suspected or where it might occur due to work activities.
- 1. They are only a sample of the air you have breathed; therefore, they are an estimate of the contaminants you have deposited internally.
SL-WBC C. A whole body counter is normally used to check for internal radioactive material.
The whole body counter is a very sensitive machine that can detect radioactive material inside the body.
- 2. It gives an accurate value of radioactivity in your body.
- 3. Everyone has a small amount of radioactive material inside their body from natural sources
'in their food (e.g., K~).
- 4. WBCs are required initially, periodically, and upon completion of work at Cook. Also, if needed, for evaluation of a suspected uptake of airborne radioactivity above the plant limits.
D. Normally, we (Cook) don't use other bioassay, but in the event of an accident or large ingestion, urine or feces samples may be obtained.
- 1. This is an example of how the body works to eliminate the contamination that gets inside.
- 2. Like the WBC, this is to determine internal exposure.

C.
Cook. Discrirnir.)dion did not take place; American Nuclear Resources does not discriminate against any employee, nor do we seek retaliation or intimidate an employee who raises an issue relative to safety concerns. On the contrary, we have a safety program that encourages questioning safety practices without risk of loss of job, etc.
Ia this particular incident the person charged that he was discharged in March of 1992 for raising questions about his radiation exposure and for requestiag a copy of his exposure records. The fact of the matter is that the employee was laid off aad whQe goiag through the exiting procedure there was an incident causing delay of the body count, the laid off employee became extremely agitated and. demanding, a scene occurred.
It was management's decisioa not to recall this individual, aot because of his raised safety questions, but, because of his poor work performance (documented 03/20/92) oa lay off notice.
The Qne, based on the decision by'a U.s. Dept. of Labor Adrr)linistration Law Judge, does not have to be paid until 30 days after the decision, is finaL It is still being reviewed by the Secretary of Labor.
Indiana and Michigan Power disagrees with the cuaent Boding that 'American Nuclear Resources discriminated agamst the employee's does American Nuclear Resources.
Everyone is and wilIbe continuously eacouraged to report any safety concern to management at any time. Ifour employees wish to report to a govemmeat ageacy rather than management, they may do so without fear of retaliation or of job loss.
