Guy H. Cunningham, III Executive Legal Director

Subject:

TMI-1: LICENSING BOARD'S REJECTION OF ONE PORTION OF THE SPECIAL MASTER'S REPORT ON OPERATOR CHEATING By Memorandum and Order of this date (copy attached), the Licensing Board issued a " tentative final draft" of a portion of its forthcoming initial decision in operator cheating. The portion is limited to the allegations that Licensee's Manager of Plant Operations at TMI-1, Mr. Michael Ross, improperly broadened the answer key to the NRC's April 1981 examination and intentionally kept the NRC proctor away from the exam room in order to aid the examinees in cheating. The Licensing Board concluded, contrary to the conclusion of the Special Master, that Mr. Ross did not act in bad faith in proposing changes to the answer key and did not keep the NRC proctor out of the exam room to aid examinees in cheating. As a result of finding all the charges against Mr. Ross to be unfounded, the Licensing Board stated that it does not impute any misconduct to the Licensee with respect to the answer key episodes.

The Licensing Board requested the parties to comment on its tentative final draft concerning Mr. Ross, as well as the balance of the Special Master's Report, by May 18, 1982, with reply comments due May 25, 1982.
