Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Re: Your Ltr. dated September 21, 1993
Dear Mr. Lieberman:
With regard to the comments on NRC authority in your letter, let me respond by commenting that the NRC could force licensees to correct adverse labor actions by simply taking enforcement action on complaints of violations of 10CFR50.7.
Unfortunately, your office has a dismal record of enforcement action, thus creating the very problem you are asking me to solve by DOL (211) action.
DOL action is very expensive and extremely time consuming, and based on other DOL complaints would serve me no purpose. A simple review by you of the recent OIG report on Whistleblower protection would help you substantiate my position.
With regard to my "other requests", you would find that the statements of complaint contained in my petition were generalized for brevity, and in no way attempted to constitute my complete complaint.
The brief report you speak of relative to my " complaint was supposed to be an allegation that was to be submitted to the Allegations Review Panel in King of Prussia, Pa. OI investigator E. Wilson was present to take a statement of another Whistleblower, when that Whistleblower, insisted on a witness to the statement, Mr. Wilson refused to take the statement and turned to me.
He indicated that I was supplying an allegation for the review panel, not an investigative statement as indicated in your letter.
He indicated he would submit the allegation to the panel on Monday, August 23,1993.
The allegation was taken on August 20, 1993.
I hope you now understand the reason for the "brief statement" described in your letter.
Might I suggest if you desire a " detailed" description of my complaint that you send information to " ascertain whether the petition and requests therein set forth the facts that constitute the basis for the request".

i With regard to the last part of your letter (items 1&2), the wherein on August 11, 1992, to your inspector Doug Dempsey, I expressed not only nuclear concerns, but concerns of harassment and intimidation towards me by management at Millstone Unit #1.
Region 1 NRC responded to me on August 31,1992, providing me with referral information for a DOL complaint, and requesting more information from me. In September, 1992 I provided that information to Mr. Dempsey.
No further response was received from the NRC!
On April 20, 1993, I submitted a memo to my nanagement regarding problems sampling the Effluent Gas Stack.
Since that time I have received additional harassment, intimidation, and discrimination from my management at Millstone Unit #1. Based on the non-responsiveness of my previous complaint, the fact that I was under suspension m I
decided to file a 10CFR2.206 complaint to get some public attention to this unacceptable situation.
I filed a section 2.206 on August 22, 1993.
Amazingly, on August 30, 1993, I received a response to the previous years complaint!!!
ifith regard to item 3 of your letter, starting in 1987 N.U.
has established a reputation of harassing those who raise nuclear and public safety issues.
The following is a partial list:
Contractors:
It is clearly in the best interest of the Agency as well as public safety to look at the long term and entrenched program of N.U. harassment.
Finally, it appears Mr. Lieberman, from the tone of your letter, that you are imposing extremely stringent requirements for the reporting of relevant information.
as outlined above, the lethargy of NRC responses to my previous complaints have not been governed by such stringent requirements!!! Because of the information outlined above, I desire to maintain privacy and confidentiality to the maximum extent possible under the law.
Sincerely, 0
Clarence O. Reynolds
