Dear Chairman Edles and Drs. Buck and Kohl:

In Licensee's comments on immediate effectiveness filed with the Commission on August 20, 1982, we reported that we had instituted an investigation of the VV certification in 1979. Pursuant to my letter of October 1, 1981, regarding notices to the Appeal Board, this is to advise you that that investigation, conducted by a qualified external professional who has not been associated with the TMI-1 restart proceed-ing, has been completed. _
We enclose for the Appeal Board's information a copy of the conclusions from the i.nvestigation. The entire five-inch thick report has been provided to NRC's Office of Inspection (302020350 830131 PDR ADOCK 05000289 PDR i

l CONCLUSIONS REACHED Accusations.of several mistakes have been made about events that took place in June, July, and August of n
c 1979. They are considered.in some detail in thiis . report.~
They include o's completion of a part of W's ' examination,

NW's submission of O's work as part of his own, Gary Miller's Q

~.^ - -
certification of :W to the NRC without telling the full 7 < '
Ej '
.~g story, and the Company's failure to make a general announcement q
t- that W had been punished for his indiscretion.

Wrongdoing of O -

As has been stated on several occasions during p

'~"thic reports - we do not believe that O was wrong .in his .
l ?
"'~
completion of part .of the examination that W was to submit.. ._ .f:

He .was asked by W, his super- ;,

vicor, to complete some questions.
cnswers were to be used for. O didn't ask'. The examination 3

All of these facts lead to the reasonable conclusion that o 9 g_ .

was not knowingly a part of any scheme to cheat the Nuclear I cw
' ' Rsgulatory Commission. .
But that conclusion is made certain by the fact that O completed the first two questions on the examination '
for Category A ( A,H) . and those. questions were not to be- -

, i answered by W, a senior reactor operator but should be .
enswered by a rea,ctor operator. If O was knowingly doing two VV's work, he simply would not have answered the first questions.

There is no doubt, nor has there ever been any y ,
doubt, that W was wrong in submitting some of O's answers as part of his own. W did aot submit 'O's ' answers in an_
