Mr. Paul M.
Blanch 135 Hyde Road West Hartford, Connecticut 06117
Dear Mr. Blanch:
This letter is to acknowledge receipt of your Petition filed August 2, 1993, requesting that the Executive Director for Operations take enforcement action for Northeast Utilities (NU) violations of 10 CFR 50.7.
As grounds for your request, you assert that a letter you received from James Lieberman dated July 15, 1993, responding to your letter of June 4, 1993, in which you stated that many specifics were not addressed in an enforcement action taken against NU, was unresponsive. Therefore, you request: (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 (you allege that OI identified Dr. Sears as one of those responsible for actions taken resulting in harassment, intimidation and discrimination (HI&D) directed against you); (2) that a Severity Level I violation be imposed upon the NU Corporate Officer responsible for directing that two of your subordinates be suspended, which you allege 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 I violations be imposed upon three NU corporate officers (for violations of 10 CFR 50.7 and deliberate misconduct as defined by 10 CFR 50.5) whom you allege OI concluded were responsible for various incidents of HI&D and attempted HI&D against you; (4) that a Severity Level I violation be issued for actions by Ed Richters, NU attorney, and a Severity Ltcel II violation be issued to Thomas Shaffer, NU manager (whom you assert threatened certain individuals with letters of reprimand if they 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 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.
You allege that Mr. Pollack, who was responsible for conducting an audit of your engineering group, was found by OI to be using falsified credentials and coming to invalid conclusions based on invalid documentation, and that Mr. ?ollack was fully aware that the audit was retaliatory and in violation of 10 CFR 50.7.
