Dear Senator-Heinz:
b~
This' responds to your referral memorandum of September 19, 1989, on behalf of Mr. Alf red J. Morabito, who in his communication to you asserted that the.
' Connission, sin an order. issued on August 16, 1989, erred in r.tating that he
'.had " accepted" employment:outside the' nuclear field.. In reality, Mr. Morabito stated he was " reassigned."
?The Commission's reference.to Mr. Morabito's " acceptance" of employment outside the nuclear field-was not intended to make any representation as to whether
~
L thatc transfer was. Voluntary.
It was' intended, rather, to explain that
'Mr. Morabito could not be issued'a valid-senior reactor operator's license.
V because under the Commission's regulation (10 CFR Part 55), one prerequisite c.h-for receiving'such a license is a certification from the employer that the l'
employee's ' job requires'such a license. The necessary certification had been cwithdrawn' by the facility licensee, Duquesne Light Company, prior'to the iL
^
H Connission's determination.
a
[;
Mr. Morabito hasinever disputed, to our knowledge, that the job he now holds
[
l
.is outside.the'r.uclear area. Nor has he argued..in his filings before the l'
Commission that.he can be issued a valid license at this time.
- Rather, Mr. Morabito claims that having been found to have passed the examinations g
for a license prior to his transfer from the nuclear area, he is entitled to a i
retroactively-granted and retroactively revoked license, so that he can repre-sent to prospective employers that he.aas held an NRC senior reactor operator's
' license. ' The Consission's order of July 15, 1989, while denying the request for the issuance of an already invalid license, nevertheless was explicit in stating that Mr..Morabito 'can represent to any prospective employer that he
. passed all examinations necessary for a senior reactor operator's license.
I trust that this is responsive to your concerns.

s.0 ear Senator Heinz:
This responds to your referral' memorandum of September 19, 1989, on behalf of l
~
Mr. Alfred J. Morabito, who in his communication to you asserted that the Comission, in an order issued on August 16, 1989, erred in stating that he
(
had, accepted" employment outside the nuclear field.
In reality, Mr. Morabito i
? stated, he was " reassigned."
The Commission's reference to Mr. Morabito's " acceptance" of employment outside the nuclear field was not intended to make any representation as to whether W
that transfer was voluntary.
It was intended, rather, to explain that
. Mr.. Morabito could not be-issued a valid senior reactor operator's license because under the Commission's regulation (10 CFR Part 55), one prerequisite e
for receiving such'a license is a certification from the employer that the employee's: job requires such a license. The necessary certification had been withdrawn by the facility-licensee, Duquesne Light Company, prior to the Comission's determination.
Mr. Morabito has never disputed, to our knowledge, that the job he now holds
- is outside the nuclear area. Nor has he argued, in his filings before the Comission that he can be issued a valid license at this time. Rather, Mr. Morabito claims that.having been found to have passed the examinations for a license prior to his transfer from the nuclear area, he is entitled to a retroactively: granted and retroactively revoked license, so that he can repre.
sent to prospective employers that he haTNan NRC senior reactor operator's license. The Comission's order of July 15, 1989, while denying the request for_ the issuance of an already invalid license, nevertheless was explicit in stating that Mr. Morabito con represent to any prospective employer that he
(;
passed all examinations necessary for a senior reactor operator's ifcense.
I trust that this-is responsive to your concerns.
