~gg Docket Nos.
50-250 and 50-251 50-335 and 50-389 (10 CFR 2.206)
Thomas J. Saporito, Jr.
Florida Energy Consultants, Inc.
1620 North U.S.
1, Suite 6
- Jupiter, Florida 33469-3241
Dear Hr. Saporito:
On June 7, 1994, you filed a Petition under 10 CFR 2.206 on behalf of yourself and Florida Energy Consultants, Inc., requesting that the NRC take action against the Florida Power and Light Co.
as operator of the Turkey Point and St. Lucie nuclear power stations.
This letter acknowledges the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff's receipt of your Petition.
In your Petition, you ask that the NRC institute a show cause proceeding under 10 CFR 2.202 to modify, suspend or revoke the Licensee's operating licenses.
- Further, you ask that the NRC take escalated enforcement action against the Licensee for violating 10 CFR 50.7 by retaliating against you for engaging in protected activities during your employment at the Turkey Point station in 1988 as an instrument control technician.
You also ask that the NRC take escalated enforcement action against John
- Odom, a Licensee
- employee, as well as every other Licensee employee who is found to have been involved in the retaliatory actions which were taken against you.
In order to determine which Licensee employees were involved in the retaliatory actions, you ask that the NRC conduct an investigation and refer the results of the investigation to the Department of Justice for federal prosecution of the employees involved.
You also request that the investigation examine whether the overall work environment at Turkey Point and St. Lucie is free from hostility and encourages employees to freely contact the NRC with safety concerns, to bypass the chain of command in raising those
- concerns, to contact the NRC confidentially with any safety concerns, and to contact the NRC without first apprising management about safety concerns.
In your Petition, you call attention to the conclusions reached by the Secretary of Labor regarding your claims in saporito v. EIorida Power
& Light co.,
Case Nos.
89-ERA-7 and 89-ERA-17, issued on June 3, 1994.
- Further, you allege specific acts of retaliation, such as placing you on restricted status and giving you demeaning job assignments, and claim that those actions comprise a hostile work environment which warrants enforcement action by the NRC.
According to your Petition, the Licensee has retaliated against other employees as well, creating a chilling effect at Turkey Point which began with your termination in 1988.
In your view, the Licensee has violated 10 CFR 50.7 and 19.15 and the Energy Reorganization Act.
