presents the range of ' locations for individuals identified in esults of Intervie Most,_if not all, of these individuals would be interviewed.should the decision be made to expand this matter into a full investigction.

Interviews of individuals.at these locations might possibly. identify others who should be interviewed. Additionally, it would appear that interviews at Las Veo evada 1

] nave information that I wish to provioe in confidence to the U. S. Nuclear J'

Regulatory Commission (NRC).

] request an express pledge of confidentiality as a condition of providing this information to the NRC.

I will not provide this information voluntarily to the NRC without such confidentiality being extended u

to me.

l 3 It is my understanding, consistent with its legal obligations, the NRC, by.

j agreeing to this confidentiality, will adhere to the following conditions:

(1 ) The NRC 'will not identify me by name or personal icentifier in any NRC initiated.cocument, conversation, or communication released to the public which 8'

relates directly to the information provided by me.

I understand the terin 8~

"public release" to encompass any distribution outside of the NRC with the 4

exception of other public agencies which may reovire this information in i

futherance of their responsibilities under law or public trust.

i l: Il.

y (2 ) The NRC wi,ll disclose my identity within the NRC only to the extent.

reovired for the conduct of NRC related activities.

(3) During the course of the inquiry or investigation the NRC will also make every l

effort consistent with the investigative needs of the Commission to avoid actions which would clearly be expected to result in the discloscre of my! identity to

- persons-subsecuently contacted by the NRC.

At a later stage 1 uncerstand that even though the NRC will make every reasonable effort to trotect my identity, my identification could be compelied by orc'ers or tuboceres issued by courts of 4

law, hearing boards, oc similar legal entities.

In such cas es, the :, asis for granting this promise of confidentiality anc any otner relevant 16 cts will be t

ccnmunicated to the authority ordering the disclosure in an effort to maintain

- my confidentiality.

If this effort proves unsuccesshi, a reeresentative of the NRC will attempt to inform me of any sucn action pefore disclosing my identity.

I also understand that the NRC will consider mc to have waived my rigb;, to confidentiality if I take any action that'may be reasonably exoected to disclose my identity.

1 further understand that the tiRC will consicer ce to have waived my rights to confidentiality if 1 provide (or have previously provided) information i

,.j_

16 any other party that contradicts the infor1 nation that I trovided to the NRC l

or if circumstances indicate that I am intentionally oroviding false information to the NRC.
