u organized into five regionally based Field Offices under a Headquarters element. There were 36 assigned investiga-tors and 10 operational support staff, nationwide, as of December 31, 1990. The average experience of an individ-ual 01 criminal investigator is in excess of 20 years, nonnally in Federal criminal law enforcement or with the NRC itself. Backgrounds of the investigators vary, but Drug Enforcement Ada;inistration (DEA)gation (FBI), the include the Federal Bureau of Investi, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Fireanns (ATF), the Anny Criminal Investigation Comand (USACIDC), the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), and various Inspector General offices within the Federal community.

During CY 90, 01 opened 70 investigations and completed 109. Completed investigations are listed on the enclosed Annual Report of Closed Cases for the Period January 1, 1990, through December 31, 1990 (Enclosure 1). The 109 are categorized by major types of alleged wrongdoing as follows:

' shows a co.?parison of willful violations fron, 1987 through 1990, based on closed investigations. The chart at Enclosure 3 depicts types of willful violations by percentage of the total closed case inventory for 1990.

i Of the 109 cases closed in CY 90, 36 were closed in the preliminary investigation or inquiry stage. Of these, 27 were unsubstantiated, 7 were closed administratively for lack of investigative resources, and 2 were transferred to other 01 field offices.

• A willful material false statement as referred to in this report is defined as willfully providing inaccurate information on material matters (either a material false statenent or a violation of 10 CFR 50.9, etc.).

LIMITED DISTRIBUTION Investigative Information: May not'be reproduced or distributed outside NRC without co-sulting the Director. OI.

i.

. The remaining 73 completed investigations went beyond the inquiry stage and warranted full-scale investigations. Of those 73 investigations:

o Wrongdoing was substantiated in 36 cases.

r o Investigation did not substantiate wrongdoing in 32 instances.

o Three cases were ultimately closed administratively.

o Two cases were transferred to other regions where resources were available.

Of the 36 cases in 1990 in which wrongdoing was substanti-ated,12 resulted in significant NRC enforcerent action, with enforcement action pending in 4 other cases at the tire of this report. Additionally, there were 16 signifi-cant NRC enforcement actions in 1990 which resulted from 01 investigations closed in prior years.

Of the same 36 substantiated cases, 25 were referred to the Department of Justice (D0J).

During 1990, 01 supported seven Federal Grand Juries. There were two convictions in Feceral court resulting from an investiga-tion closed in 1990. Another Federal conviction in 1990 wss the result of an investigation completed in 1988. indicates the number of DOJ referrals made by 01 from 1987 through 1990.

Sicnifice r.t Cases:

An investigation conducted by 01: Region I substantiated allegations that a shift supervisor at the Three Mile Island Unit 2 facility had been sleeping on duty and that certain members of site management, although aware of the allegations, failed to correct the problem. A civil penalty in the amount of $50,000 was levied against the GPU huclear Corporation as a result of this investigation.

An investigation by 01: Region I of the Stanford Mining Company developed evidence indicating that individuals had deceived hRC staff members who were attempting to locate in' properly disposed nuclear weigh scales. The investiga-tion resulted in the recovery of two scales.

was referred to DOJ and is currently being investigated by a Federal Grand Jury.

An investigation by DI: Region 11 at the Davis Memorial Hospital confinned irregularities and false entries in the daily radioisotope use documents and in the dose calibrator linearity detennination records. As a result, escalated enforcement action was taken against the licensee requiring payment of a $10,000 civil penalty.

An investigation by 01: Region III at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station confirmed that a licensed senior reactor operator (SRO) deliberately failed to report and attempted to cover up an erroneous fuel movement during a refueling outage. As a result of those findings, his SRO license was suspended pending successful completion of an NRC-approved remediation program.

Efforts in the product fraud area by the 01: Region IV Field Office resulted in a multiple-count guilty plea in January 1990 by the owner of Planned Maintenance Systems.

The resultant sentence included 5 months in prison, 5 months in a half-way hcuse, and an order to pay in excess of $125,000 in restitution to several NRC licensees and DOE facilities.

i During a surveillance by 01: Region V, a Finlay Testing Laboratories (FTL) employee was observed improperly transporting and storing a radiographic camera. The FTL employee was operating as a radiographer for C&R Laboratories as an FTL subcontractor. DOJ action against FTL is pending in U.S. District Court for numerous violations of NRC regulations regarding radiographic' operations. A $1,500 civil penalty was proposed on hovember 28, 1990, by the NRC and subsequently paid by C&R Laboratories.

l In a similar incident, during a surveillance by 01: Region V together with Region V technical personnel, t

another FTL employee, operating as a subcontractor under Fewell Geotechnical Enterprises' (FGE) license, was observed and videotaped conducting improper radiographic activities. The FTL employee also lied to the NRC. On November 2,1990, an order was issued amnding the FGE

Investigations into counterfeit circuit breakers in nuclear-power plants by 01: Region V involving the execution of criminal search warrants in 1988 continued during 1990.

Those investigations resulted in guilty pleas in February 1990 by the two principals in California Breakers. Inc.,

and ATS Circuit Breakers, Inc. In April 1990, each was sentenced to 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> of comunity service, a $5,000 fine, and ordered to pay $659,401.50 in restitution (total-ling $1,318,603) to the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

Five additional investigations involving counterfeit or-substandard products were referred to D0J in 1990.

The following additional-NRC enforcement actions were also initiated in 1990, based on 01 investigative reports:

Deaconess Hospital: Record Falsification b Technician--Civil fine of $2,500. (01:RIV) y Trends:

Investigations of willful material false statements have dominated the wrongdoing arena since 1984 The number of those investigations completed per year has increased since 1987 (Enclosure 2). This type of investigation represents 69% of the cases closed in 1990 (Enclosure 3).

In 1987, investigations into alleged discrimination and retaliation for surfacing safety concerns, comonly referred to as "intimidatior, and harassment" (I&H) cases, were responsible for the second largest number of inves-tigatioris completed. By 1988, investigations in this category had fallen below investigations of willful viola-tions of license conditions and/or the Atomic Energy Act (Enclosure 2). 01 believes this to be a result of the decrease in construction contractors, workers, and activi-ties at plant sites.

I&H investigations represent 13% of the cases closed in 1990 (Enclosure 3).

From 1987 through 1985, there was an increase in completed investigations of willful violations of license conditions and/or the Atomic Energy Act. These violations leveled off by the end of 1989, and decreased in 1990 (Enclosure 2).

This category of cases represents 15% of the investigations closed in 1990 (Enclosure 3).

Each year from 1987 through 1989 there occurred a moderate increase in referrals to 01 (Enclosure 4), as supported by the corresponding increase in cases opened for the same period (Enclosure 5). Conversely, there was an approxi-mate 10% decrease in referrals from 1969 to 1990, as supported by an approximate 31% decrease in cases opened, from 98 in 1989 to 70 in 1990. Based on a survey of the Field Office Directors during Regional Assistance Team visits by 01 Headquarters, this decrease appears to be primarily a result of tightening the referral process in i

IJMMEO DISTRIBUTION

, an effort to comply more stringently with Manual Chapter 0517.

Over the past 6 years, wrongdoing cases involving nuclear reactor facilities have significantly decreased, from 117 in 1985 to 29 in 1990 (Enclosure 6). This decrease in reactor cases can be attributed largely to the overall diminishing of plant construction activities over this same 6-year period. At the same time reactor cases were trending downward, materials cases (byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials) modestly increased, from 29 in 1985 to 35 in 1990 (Enclosure 6). Cases involving suspected product fraud by vendors selling to licensees showed a general increase, from 7 in 1985 to 24 in 1989, then a rather sharp decrease to 9 in 1990 (Enclosure 6).

The upward trend in materials cases and the steady increase in vendur cases (at least until 1989) appear to be the result of a heightened awareness and regulatory focus on such cases over the past several years. The cecline in vendor cases from 1989 to 1990 appears to be a further reflection of the overall 31% decline in cases openeo (Enclosure 5).

An annual average of 83 investigations were opened by 01 during the 4-ycar period from 1987 through 1990 (Enclosure 5). This equates to an average of 17 cases opered by each regional 01 Field Office per year during this same 4-year period.

OI initiatives to improve case inventory management and to streamline the report writing process resulted in an upward trend in case closures during the period 1987 throuSh 1990 (Enclosure 7).

DOJ referrals from O! remained relatively constant from 1987 through 1990 (Enclosure 4). However, in 1990, OI supported an increased number of Federal Grand Juries which resulted from OI investigations.

In 1990, cases involving the sale of counterfeit and substandard power plant parts, such as fasteners, electrical relays, valves, fuses, piping, and circuit breakers, accounted for 26% of the average monthly 01 case inventory.

initiatives:

In an effort to provide the best possible product in the rest expeditious manner to the NRC decision makers, and to l

keep pace with the goals set forth in the NRC Five-Year J

Plan, 01 has implerented numerous managerent initiatives i

over the past 2 years. These actions focused on thorough-ness of investigations, managerent of the 01 case l

inventory, streamlining the 01 investigative reporting format, timeliness and internal management of investiga-i tions, and in.plementing Total Quality Management (TQM) concepts within 01.

The O! program of Regional Assistance Team visits to the 01 Field Offices by Headquarters, focusing upon program-matic and operatior,a1 oversight, continued in 1990. This program has proven successful in irrproving the lines of comunication and interface between the field elenents and i

Headquarters, while promoting standardization and conti-nuity in investigative thoroughness, tineliness, policy, and procedures.

j On June 1. 1990, 01 effected a rajor revision of the Report of Investigation (ROI) forr.at. This new forr.at simplified the report writing process and reduced the time required to cocplete reports by an estir.ated 50%. Since i

compiling and preparing a report on a complex investiga-tion of ten takes several weeks and may even consume months of an investigator's tire, this format revision should

inventory and the timeliness of completion of investiga-tions.

The focus on managing the case inventory more efficiently began in 1987, and has increased in intensity each year.

The results of this initiative are clearly demonstrated by the graph at Enclosure 8, which reflects the average monthly case inventory for the period 1987 through 1990.

This graph depicts the average case inventory, cases actively investigated, and cases which were inactive during a given year.

The number of cases actively investigated remained essen-tially constant, with a range from 74 to 67 in 4 years.

This constancy can be attributed to the same approximate number of investigators actively working on the same number of cases during this period.

During this same time, the number of inactive cases stead-ily decreased, from an average of 51 in 1987 to an average of 8 in 1990. This decrease primarily resulted from the aforementioned emphasis on improved case inventory manage-inent. This initiative placed strong emphasis on closing lower priority cases due to a lack of investigative resources, devoting resources where they would conclude higher priority cases more rapidly, and/or redirecting irvestigative assets or cases among regions to ensure timely completion of high priority investigations. The marked decrease in the inactive case inventory was a major contributing factor in bringing the average monthly case inventory down proportionately from 125 in 1987 to 75 in 1990, virtually eliminating the case backlog addressed in the hRC Five-Year Plan.

Although managing the case inventory has been an important initiative over the past several years, OI has also made significant strides toward improving internal case manage-ment.

In 1989 a series of actions centered upon two major a reas: the timely completion of investigations from initiation to closure and the need for investigators to use their time on active investigations more effectively.

With regard to the timeliness of case completion, an anal-ysis of case statistics resulted in the development of a-long-range goal of completing cases within 12 months of LIMITED DISTRl W UCN Invest)gtive nforga Play not y proouc g utettiiIRQ, w y ott consul 4ag'the Direc Ur1.

their initiation. As a result of improved case managenent, the number of cases over 2 years old has decreased by 87%

since 1988, and the number of cases from 1 to 2 years old h.s decreased 21% in the same time period. The graph at shows the average number of months cases remained open f rom 1987 through 1990. This graph demon-strates an overall decrease in time to complete cases over this 4-year period. In 1990, O! averaged 13.3 months from initiation to case completion.

The most significant phase of an investigation is the field work, or fact-finding phase, which consists of witness / suspect interviews, records reviews and analysis, etc. 01 Weekly Activity Reports (WAR) show that, by 1988, time in the office in case preparation (y 46% of their investigators were spending approximatel which includes repcrt writing) and approximately 25% of their time on travel and other administrative case-related matters.

Field work, which should receive the lion's share, received only 29% of the investigator's time. Therefore, OI set a goal of achieving a position where investigators spend approximately 60% of their tire on field work, approximately 20% of their time on case preparation activitics, and approximately 20% on travel, etc. The revised ROI fortnat implemented in June 1990, and other internal case management initiatives implemented in 1969 and 1990, were targeted, in part, on reaching this goal.

01 can report that we are close to achieving our goal.

The graph at Enclosure 10 shows the progress from 1987 through 1990 toward this end. Specifically, statistics for 1990 indicate that investigators devoted 54.8% of their case-specific investigative activities on field work, 26.71 on case preparation, and 18.4% on travele etc.

In 1990, 01 successfully demonstrated the need for Achini-stratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AUO). Effective January 16, 1991, the Executive Director for Operations authorized AUD for investigators. This method of compensating investigators for overtime work should provide OI managers with a useful tool to facilitate more expeditious completion of investigations.

01 comenced a training program, beginning with supervi-sors, to promote awareness of the TQM concepts currently 1

being encouraged throughout the Federal Government. This training is in anticipation of developing a strategic, l

integrated management system within 01 for achieving qual-ity results through TQM over the next few years. To fur-ther promote this initiative, OI had several conferences 1

with the Field Office Directors, a training seminar for ell investigators, and a reeting of the entire 0! opera-tional support staff. These reetings and seminars focused on ways to continually improve the quality of investiga-tions., investigative support, and the investigative writ-ten product, with an emphasis upon customer satisfaction.

l a

In 1991, 01 has scheduled a Field Office Directors' l

Conference in conjunction with the NRC Office of Enforcenent (OE) to discuss coordination, policy issues, ar.d improved methods to satisfy our OE customers.

Forecast:

The Office of Investigations will continue to snonitor timeliness and other initiatives through oversight visits during the coming year and sojust as warranted.

New initiatives unoer consideration for 1991 focus upon ir. proving the criteria and process for referring matters of potential wrongdoing to 01.

It is anticipated that within 'the coming year 01 will achieve the goal of averaging 12 months from initiatier. cf l

an investigaticn to its completion.

l It is prcjected that the revised ROI forsat will be even more effective in 1991 in improving the timeliness of i

completion of 01 reports and in achieving our goal regarding the percentage ratio of field work to case preparation.
