RECEIPT OF PETITION FOR DIRECTOR'S DECISION UNDER 10 C.F.R. 4 2.206 Notice is hereby given that by Petition dated August 2, 1993, Paul M.
Blanch (Petitioner) has requested that the Executive Director for Operations take enforcement action for Northeast Utilities (10) violations of 10 CFR 50.7.
As grounds for this
- request, the Petitioner asserts a
letter he received from Mr. James Lieberman,
- Director, Office of Enforcement, dated July 15, 1993, responding to Mr. Blanch's letter of June 4,
- 1993, in which he stated that many specifics were not addressed in an enforcement action taken against NU, was unresponsive.
Therefore, Mr. Blanch requests:
(1) that enforcement action be taken against Dr. Charles F.
Sears, former NU Vice President of Nuclear and Environmental Engineering, for willful violation of 10 CFR 50.7 and deliberate misconduct as defined by 10 CFR 50.5 (Mr. Blanch alleges j
that the NRC's Office of Investigations (OI) identified Dr. Sears as one of those responsible for actions taken resulting in harassment, intimidation and discrimination (HI&D) directed against him); (2) that a Severity Level I violation be imposed upon the Im Corporate Officer responsible for directing that two of Mr. Blanch's subordinates be suspended, which Mr. Blanch alleges was a retaliatory action in violation of 10 CFR 50.7 and deliberate misconduct as defined by 10 CFR 50.5; (3) that three Severity Level y

issued to Thomas ShL ~!er, NU manager, whom Mr. Blanch asserts I
threatened certain individuals with letters of reprimand if they 1
did not talk with NU contract attorneys prior to being interviewed by the Office of Investigations (OI), for violation of 10 CFR 50.7 and deliberate misconduct as defined by 10 CFR 50.5; and (5) that 4
a minimum of a Severity Level II violation be issued for actions in violation of 10 CFR 50.7 and 10 CFR 50.5 by Mr. Allen Pollack, NU Manager of Internal Auditing.

Blanch alleges that Mr. Pollack, who was responsible for conducting an audit of Mr. Blanch's engineering group, was found by OI to have used l
l falsified credentials and to have arrived at invalid conclusions based on invalid documentation, and that Mr. Pollack was fully i
aware that the audit was retaliatory and in violation of 10 CFR i
50.7.
